The Pacific Club is trying to arrange a
match for Dan CreedOn, the Australian
weiter- weight pugiist If Young Mitchell
cannot be Induced TO put up props with the
Anlpodean an offer will be made Reddy
Gallagher OF Denver, who made such good
showing against Mitchell in the old Occi-
dental CLUB, to journey TO the coast and try
conclusions with Cretdon. The latter can
night either as er-weight or middle
weight, and would have no serious obec-
ton to meeting with Greggains. AS
Creed0n is a s0lidly built fellow, it is very
doubtful II he could get down to Welter-
weight figures in this country
Flood, the vegetarian pugilist who recently
arrived from Australia, IS training for his
match with johnson of MarysVille at Sau-
salto
When Flood first settled down to a course
OF exercise that fighters generally follow,
bis trainer insisted that he should adopt an
American custom and chew meat to build
up hard and robust constitution.
When the first steak was placed before
the vegetable mastcator Flood looked very
snspciousy at the beef and then remarked
to his trainer that it had very pleasant
odor and looked decidedly tempting.
When he partook of the first mouthful he
spat II out immediately, and remarked that
| only dogs would eat such stuff.
Floods trainer. however, insisted that the
nghter must eat meat, or otherwise he could
not hight TO any advantage In this country.
he vegetarian is gradually getting accus-
toned TO chewing meat, and the effect of
the eood Old beei upon Floods fighting pro-
pensites Is SAID to be wonderful.
The more blood that enters his sfomach
the more anxious he becomes TO whip some
| body, and If he continues TO enlarge his
| appetite Tor pOrternOuse steak, johnson
| will have 10 be veTltable bulldog IN feroc-
| ily 10 stand up before the clever Australian.
Ii Is said that Peter Jackson Is sure to
make great hit as Uncle Tom A few
| evenings ago jackson BECAME very inter-
| esied in the rehearsal of the play and when
concluding his little part OF the piece, he
| added. "and may the best man win"
