1t will be a strange thing IL the barroom
brawl between Corbett and F1tzsimmons
does not put new adversely in the path of
Dan Stewart and the Florida Athletic Club
and make the bringing off of the
battle between the pu2ilists at Dallas a very
uncertain thing. Before the disgraceful
performance at Philadelphia Corbett and
Fitzsimmons detested each other. They
would have made bitter and merciess
fight. Now their hatred is intensified a
hundred fold. A ring meeting between them
would mean desperate and almost murder.
GUS conflict. This promise will no doubt be
attractive to that class of ring followers
who want bTuising and blood, bat those who
want 10 see an honest test OF true science
and physical superiority will not relish the
outlook.
smattershave been shaped only vicious
and brutal smuggling match, regardless of
consequences, can be looked for That this
prospect Will furnish new and telling am
munition for those who are opposing the
fight in Texas can be plainly seen, and that
II may put an end to the match altogether
is not outside of reason If Is should, per-
haps the person who would be best pleased
would be the individual who is now called
the champion prize II ghter. In fact,
among men experienced in ring matters
there is what seems to be a well-founded
suspicion that the performance at Phila-
delphia was brought on by Corbett and his
hirelings for the purpose of throwing obsta
cles In the way OF the proposed meeting at
Dallas.
Martie McCue, who recently lost a match
to Turkey Point George Smith, at Bal
timore, was beaten at Providence on
Tuesday night by Joe Mulon, of Boston.
The Eureka Athletic Club Will make an
effort to get a match for the sturdy col
ored boxer of Boston, George Godfrey.
Billy Mcmillan and Hite Peckham are
making arrangements to give a boxing
exhibition in this city. They will be as
sisted by a number of boxers from Balti-
more and other towns.
An English sporting paper says Peter
Jackson will return to America to see
Corbett and FitZsimmons fight, and that
he will challenge the winner. If Cor
bett wins Peter will be several years
older than he is now If he gets on a match
with the champion. According to Jim's
programme, he fights once in three years. |
He does bad acting and a vast amount of |
windy talking between times. Nothing |
moro.
Billy Madden, at one time manager OF |
John L. Sullivan, and more recently of |
Peter Maher, is always q man interest
ing to listen to ON matters pugilistic.
Speaking of Jack McAuliffe, Madden |
claims that the famous light weight, who
is about done for as fighter, hiss squan-
dered during his ring career as much money |
as Sullivan did, and this, according to
some, is not far from million dollars

port, Conn. The authorities would not |

the bag in one of the theatres there for 500

''One evening while / was hammering
the bag on the stage, McAuliffe came in
with a party OF friends and took box.
He recognized ME, and after i finished
my turn we shook hands and talked a
bit.
''McAuliffe and another man had Just
pulled off q good thing ON the races, and,
between them, they had nearly 500 900
to divide. Jack had his share with him
that night, mewhere between $40 900
and $50 900.
''McAuliffe sized me up and said: Cad,
Billy, I'm sorry to see you working so
hard for a hundred q week; tough luck,

said:
oh, don't know; think it's pretty
good luck. You'll see the day yet when
you will be glad to earn q hundred
