SPORTING MISCELLANY.

Is defective. He acknowledges that he
drinks, and says he always expects to,
In training or out OF training. but he
understands himself better than does any
one else, and never exceeds his limit
With all this comes q bitter TRADE upon
any one who has dared to print the &C.
tual facts regarding his recent public ex-
hi5itions OF excuses. The statements
made In The Evening World were
printed in justice to the Seaside Athletic
Club. It's patrons and such persons as
looked with favor upon McAu.iffe's
chances against Critic In their ten-round
bout at Coney Island next Monday night
ton was Of the highest order ana that he
was training faithfully.
The lightweight Is still confident OF
be.ting Critic. and holds up the fact that
he has more at stake than has the AUS
the best argument OF which he is capa-
BILE. Critic realizes that, with his oppo-
nent's skill and speed and q handlcap OF
over ten pounds IN weight, ne mas ereat
bouts should also be OF great interest,
and the odvance sale of tickets Indicates
large attendance.
Billy Plimmer. the bantam champion,
and Johnny Murphy, the famous Z. ather-
tie for $2,50O side last night. James
Conroy, on behalf Of Murphy has posted
$50, while Martin Bowling has put up
the same amount for Piinmer. The prin-
cpals ana their hackers meet at Johnny
Eckhardt's, SS Center street, on Monday
afternoon at o'clock, where articles OF
agreement will be signed and the bal
ance Of the stake money win be de
posted with the stakeholder, who Is to
be selected at the same time. a..
The men have agreed to light at JIG
Conry is willing to let his man night for
tho stake alone In the event Of no club
offering purse fol- the nght out unaer
no circumstances will he agree 10 u
fight or none at all. tnmmer's hacker
issued a challenge a short time ago Of
fering to back Plimmer against any man
In the world under liz pounds.
Plimmer arrived from England last
night and was more then pleased when
he heard his hacker had arranged the
match for him. He was somewhat put
out in not being able to get on hght
next best thing the. pugiiistic market
could afford.
An offer is alleged to have been made
by the National sporting cub, or Lon
p. Slavin and Peter Jackson or James
J. Corbett, for the championship OF the
world. The Club takes the liberty or
naming the stakeholder and would prob
badly not be averse to selecting ref
cree. The National Sporting Grub will
hardly get Corbett: but. according 70
statements made BY jackson t,,s o, hls
should be finding money for him.
Now that the Governors OF, Iowa,
South Dakota and Nebraska have put
themselves on record as refusing 70
permit prize-hghtins within the limits
OF their Jurisdiction, the Sioux City
Athletic Club seems TO have no possible
chance of making good the offer OF
