In answer to a question. Sullivan has
never knocked out Charley Mitchell. They
fought ia 1889 at ApiemOnt, France, 80

California Club in May, 1891, and the result
Was ''no contest"
1t is said that an enierprising sport who

The following sweeping challenge from
Feathrr-weiZht Billy Murphy WIS received
June 80 at the Police Gazette office:

and the championship, four or SIX weeks

Murphy will fight any man in the world at
l18 pounds. found $3.50 and the feather

Unless Sit William can do much better
than when he fought johnny Murphy at
The Pacific Club he would act wise part To
leave Dixon alone.
Sullivan, says the New York World. was
chatting with some friends after the Dixon
ana Johnson fight, and IN answer to Ques-
tion he said that the English lad deserved
great praise for the pluck he displayed. He
didn't think Dixon as clever man as lie
was cracked up TO be. John said Joe Me-
Aullffe should experience little difficulty in
whipping Joe Goddard. He bases his 0pin-
ion on the latteI's fight with Jack Ashton
in Australia. Sullivan talked interestingly
with Jim Dreyfus and his other friends
until Phil Casey came il.
Hello, Phil" John exclaimed, extending
his right hand.
How are you, John?" said Casey, ana
they shook hands. After very few words
the trainer pnt his hands on the big 'an's
shoulder; john, are you ready to come
with me? he asked.
In minute, Phil, old man." was the
reply.
Together they left the place after saying
'gOOd-by," and together they will remain
until the big fs;ic event in New Orleans is
decided. Sullivan was a guest al Casey's
house last night. Charley Johnston is still
bis friend aud backer. Their little tiff has
all been amieably settled.
WELL" said Frank Moran after Sullivan
left, ''all John has 10 DO now is 10 train,
and he viii train, too, with a man like
Casey behind him. He'll work like beaver
from now ont and all the honorS viii be his
