Pat Raedy, the young man who is billed
to meet Billy Mcmillan In the early part
of next August, is one of the most gentle

With the practical death of the sport
in New York the possibility OF some good
fights being pulled off in the vicinity of
this city and Baltimore grows stronger.
The Eureka Club, of Virginia, has bid
for some fair class 'go's," and if they prove
to be at all successful the crackerjacks
will be put on.

command an attendance from out of town,
fights can hardly be made to pay in this
city, as the local sports have not been edu-
Gated up 10 the point of supporting the
scrappers.
The re-opening OF the Eureka Club when
they pulled off the WIlSon-McCann battle
