chic. On account Of the report about

OF the Olympic Club visited Bay st. Louis
yesterday to investigate the condition of
the pugilists there They report that
Skellys jaw is all right now, and that

Ing with will, and anxious to win.
Bay st. Louis special of August %
says: Jack Skelly was up at 5 O'Clock
this morning and did a hard days work.
In the forenoon he worked at the ball,
bells and spared two hours and half. He
did the same thing in the afternoon, and
during the day did ten miles on the road
In the future his work in walking will be
done early in the morning and late in the
afternoon and will average from ten to
fourteen miles. His face is about well and
he eats and sleeps as well as any many at
the quarters. Griffin will be at the Bay on
Thursday to spar Sicily on the Dixon
style, and will go AZ him hot and heavy
until the day before the contest.
When Griffin arrives Carroll intends to
nave corner Work daily with seconds,
time-keepers and bottle-holders. This will
be done to accustom Sicily To a ring con-
test and to start him in the manner and
style he shall conduct his battles. Carroll
Is up to ali of Dixon's tricks in the ring.
and will have Sicily thoroughly informed
as to how to meet them. Sicily is in
good spirits, and said today he had every
thing TO fight for calculated to inspire a
man to win.
No time since McAuliffe began training
has he appeared in better shape and spir-
its than at present. He is working well
and doing it in a manner that indicates
his firmness in trying to win the victory.
From now on he will do his heavy train
ing. He has shut down on ali ale and
beer, even at his meals. and will not touch
another drop of anything until after his
contest. He did twelve miles today,
punched the ball three hours. and spared
Nelson ten good. heavy rounds. He eats
with q tremendous appetite. which is
great thing in his favor. In fact, he eats
better now than he did ten days ago. He
sleeps well, and is as sound as a dollar.
Carroll says that McAulitfe will make a
great fight and may surprise the followers
of Billy Myer. Billy Reynolds keeps a
watchfui eye on Sicily, and has not lost
one iota of the great faith he has in him.
His money is up and to stay. If any one
backs out it will never be Reynolds or
Sicily.
