The taiked-of bout between Joe Bateman
and Johnny Glynn has apparently fallen
! through. Within the past two days the
moneyed man of the Baltimore party has
twice called at this office to cover any for
felt the GlynD people might wish to post,
but none of the Glynnites came to the
surface. Ratemau seems anxious for an
! other shy at his former antagonist.
The Walker and Sailor Brown match,
which was agreed to by the principals at
the bout Of Tuesday evening has gone by
the board. The Eureka Club folks could
see nothing in 1t. Brown now wants a go
with Billy AcMillau. 1t is not likely no W.
| ever, that the latter will engage in another
set-to for some time, as he says he breads
training. Mick Dunn, the Australian, who
LIS out Of job just now, may be brought
on to give Brown trial. He wants TO come
to Washington.
Jack DAILY will probably be matched to
box Jack Everhart before the Eureka
Club. William E. Harding was tele-
graphed yesterday regarding the matter.
Daily Is game and clever boxer, but he
has seldom, II ever, ran against a harder
citizen than he will meet II this match Is
made. Everhart has been boxing five or
six years. He is q Southern hoy, and
brought himself prominently before the
athletic world about three years ago by
fighting the hard-hittiDg and clever Andy
Bowen. when it was thought in the South
that the latter was about the next thing
to being iDvincible.
Everhart had engaged In a number of
bouts before be met Bowen, and had shown
himself to be fairly good pugiiist, but
1t was with Bowen thath he proved just what
sort OF stuff he was made Of Aody de-
feated him, but Jack gave him one OF the
longest and hardest fights he ever had in
his life. Everhat's last engagement was
with Kid IAyigne, the latter part of last
May before the Seaside Athletic Club
Australian Griffo was billed to meet La
vigue, but got into trouble, for which he
Is still In jail, and could not fill his agree
nient.
Eyerhart, having shortly before this
arrived iuthe East he offered to take G Griffo's
place. No one believed he would be in il
with the great Michigander, but there
everybody made mistake, Everhart was
not In good condition, but he stayed with
the Kid for twenty clipping rounds, and
the referee. Tim Hurst, decided against
him on the parrowest kind of a naryin.
The day after the fight Lavigne said that
Everhart was the toughest man he ever
went against in his life. 80 Daily can
figure on having an exceedingly interesting
evening OF 1t when he faces Jack inside the
ropes.
Tidings from Peter Maher in England
are about due. When they come they will
be full of fight Peter crossed the
briny with the avowed intention of fixing
things so that after he has doue away with
Steve O'Donnelrs greatness in the coming
encounter at Dallas, he can return to
London and bring back to America with
him the scalp Of fPeter Jackson. John Quinn,
OF Pittsburg, is with Peter, and viii post
IS, 900 for a side bet for his man IL the
National Sporting or any other London
club will give good sized purse for the
PLEASURE and profit Of getting the two
Peters together. As Jackson 10 popular |
with the English sportsmeu because of the |
handy way he disposed of Frank P Slavin |
and Jem Smith, there will hardly be trouble |
in getting an offer Of a purse, and it is |
quite likely that a match between Jackson |
and Naher will be made. There is plenty Of |
money in England to cover Quinn's side bet |
Peter Felix, the giant Australian boxer, |
is shortly to come to this country. Felix |
q negro, and ia rated q good pugilist in |
his own land. He is six feet four inches tall
and weighs 200 pounds. Joe Goddard, tae
windmill fighter, who came here TO lick l.
Corbett, and who made short work of |
Peter Aaher, failed to get decision over
Felix in q ten-round go. Now that Peter
Jackson is on the wane, it may be that
Peter Felix has been provided to take bis
place,
Again the loQuacious boxing English
man, Charley Mitchell, is to the 'front.' A
z Philadelphia friend is said 10 have received
\ letter from him in which he announced
that he will come to this country to see
The Fitzsimmons and Corbett entertain
ment, and that he will challenge the
Charley is probably Joking. Cor
bett will hardly pay any attention to him
Il he defeats Fitzsimmons. Bob might take
Charley on Just as matter of amusement,
but not seriously; not as If he wac going
10 have . fight.
