This was done in the Dempsey AMI Fltz-
simmons fight, when 10 was announced
that a clique was coming here deter
mined that Dempsey should win.
The club will have 100 policemen to
preserve order and 800 members 10 as
sist them 10 keep order They want 70
Insure against the slightest unpleasant
ness By leaving all weapons outside. An
innovation decided upon is 10 allow ne
grOeS 10 attend the DNOI-Skelley fight
on September o. No negroes have ever
been within the club before, but such
pressure was brought TO bear tn re-
gard % this fight, in which the princi-
pal figure is q cO.Ored man, that the
lery for the negroes free from the
whites, where some 600 or zoo can be
seated.
Dixon has created quite sensation
among the colored people here, and II is
thought that all the seats will be taken.
IL was announced some weeks ago that
a number OF cOlored sporting men were
.Aoming down here from Chicago aud
New York 90 see and bet Ou the Dixon
. 'Skelley fight, and they were warned not
TO come, as they would not be allowed
TO enter the clubhouse. This warning
IS withdrawn since the club has changed
its policy in this matter.
A special train will come all the way
from the City Of Mexico, bringing the
people from there 20 see the big nights.
The party of visitors will include the
General Manager OF the Mexican Inter
Ocean Road. The Superintendent Of
the Mexican National and a number Of
others, mainly railroad men. They will
come by the Mexican National and
and Southern Pacific Railway. On &C
count Of the report bout Skelley aud
McAuliffe some Of the officers Of the
Olympic Club visited Bay ST. Louis
yesterday 70 investigate the condition
Of the pugiIiStS there. They report
that Skeley's jaw is all right-if it was
ever much wrOng-and that both men
are sparTing, running and working
with will and anxious TO win.
A special 20 Captain Williams, OF the
Olympic, announces that Jim Hall is on
the ocean on his way to this country.
II is probable that when he arrives he
will find an offer from the Olympic
awaiting him for a match with FitzSim-
mons. Bob FitzsimmOns, who is eager
for the match, has teegraphed 10 some
friends In New York 90 meet Hall as he
lands from the steamer and not leave
him until they have got a promise from
him TO ight. Bob is training In the
hope that the match will be made, and
has already reduced himself three
pounds, and can fight at 15S pounds or
less.
he thinks, -tSat Hall. having just
fought Pritchard, can not make the ex-
cuse of not being in condition, or that
the ocean voyage will set him back. Bob
Fitzsimmons is anxious to have Sullivan
come and stay with him week before
the fight. FitzSimmOns has pretty
cottage at Bay st. Louis, and can en-
terrain sullivan, should the latter con-
clude TO come here week before the
fight. FitzslmmOns is a greater admirer
OF the champion than the latter is OF
him.
Myer writes down here from StreatOr
10 a friend that be was under the
weather last week, but is now all right
again.
