There was so much fuss made by the pu-
lice authorities at the Grffu-ians bout

joe Bateman has announced that bt
will retire from the ring. Mr.. Herfort
of the Baltimore Eureka Club. was in tow
looking to bill him for fight with Jacl
Ward. but the local man refused to go OF
with him.
ward is a pretty shifty man. and a fieh
between these lads would prove goot
drawing attraction. Despite the fact
that Bateman won "lay down" figh
from johnny Glynn, the Georgetown lad
demonstrated that he has not entirely for
gotten the game of the padded fives."
There is good story being told G
"Y1ung" Griffo, the Australian. Whe
he boxed George Dixon, at the Manhatta
Athletic Club, he told several of tn
friends that he was q hot member" wit
the swells at the club, and that ere Ion
his social standing would completely throw
in the shade that of any other pug I'm tn
country. Corbett and Mike Leonard, th
Beau Brummel" Of the ring would not
In 1t.
After he had made his speech at III
conclusion of the bout and had o:fere
to fight Dixon five more rounds or figl
him all night, as far as the fighting or TN
thing was concerned. and had been roundl
aDplauded by the swell membersof the clu'
I he thought he was the 'high mucly-muck
Of the whole shooting matt oh and procecde
tn saunter down to the hilliard-room fo
little game.
He and one of his pugllistic friends Ia
been engaged in rolling The hafs aroun
, for several minutes when the steward Z
the club happened along. He sized up NJ
J Griffo and then without further parle
quietly told him that bis room was bette
than his country. "Wel." seid TIE Aus
