has had several other ''goeS" with men OF
less note.
Charley Turner, the clever colored
puncher, is unQuestionably a game fighter.
and when in condition there are few men OF
his class who can compete with him success
fully. Turner Is, however. hard man 10
train, and 1t requires constant watching
10 keep him at his post of duty.
If he will toe the scratch with
Williams in as good fettle as when he
fought Mccain, the Salt Lake man Will
meet with the surprise of his life. Turner'S

nine rounds, Bill Price in two rounds, Tom
Heal in three rounds, June Dennis In three

gains.
johnny Murphy, the bantam who made
such gallant stand recently against Billy
Murphy, the Australian whirlwind at an
exhibition given by the Pacific Club. is
very anxious 10 capture the title of cham
pion bantam-weight fighter from George
Dixon (c0lOredl. a few days ago Johnny
deposited 500 as forfeit 10 prove his sim
cerity that he intended business The
=
when ii was covered bv Young Mitchell on
behalf of O'Rourke, manager of Dixon.
Mitchell had an idea that the small amount
deposited by Dixon was only miniature
bluff, and that Murphy would not deposit
any further coin. Last night. however.
Murphy and his hacker appeared at the
stake-holder's office, and to prove that little
Johunle meant strictly business, a second
deposit OF $1,000 was made on a wager of
$500 a side The conditions, as already
mentioned in THE CALL, state that the
fight will take place at tie club which will
doubt but that Young Mitchell will ''see"
Murphy's forfeit to-day. as O'ROurke has
written him 10 cover any amount of money
Murphy or his hackers will deposit. The
question next to be considered is where will
the bantams decide their differences of
opinion.
If Jimmy Carroll. the pugIlist who gave
Jack McAuliffe such hard rub at the Cali
f0rnla Club about two years ago. is still
looking for game he will be accommodated
by Billy Maher of Los Angeles. who states
that he is prepared to meet any man in
America at 140 pounds. Maher is now in
great fix.
The Olympic Club will have field day
open TO all amateurs on August 20. The
club will occupy its new and handsome
building on January 8, 1898.
The Occidental Coursing Club was to have
met last evening at 2l Kearny street. but on
account OF a quorum not being present the
meeting was postponed indefinitely. The
club Will have several race meetings at
Newark next season.
