The new boxing club at Constable Hook.
n. j., win begin its career during the first
week in September, and It promises its
patrons some interesting events, 1t has
offered purse of $500 for a ten-round
go between Joe Chovnski and Jim Hall,
and SoIly Smith and Kid Mcfarland
have already been matched for n ten
round 60 for the same night.
George Dixon may go to England and
test the kind OF stuff Fred johnson is
made OF, bat he will hardly do sn for Il side
bet alone He will no doubt insist on a fat
purse peing provided. Boxing talent h'ids
itself high these days. An nens agenent that
Dixon cannot see from $1,000 to $4,000
In he passes with apparent contempt He
may be less expensive luxury one of
these days.
Philadelphia has a ninety five-po nd
boxer, Steve Flanagan, who is ready to
meet anybody in the country Of his weight.
A new colored boxer of promise came TO
the front at Boston the other day. He calls
himself Jack Cobb. He is a l5O-pounder,
and defeated Jack Fitzpatrick, OF that
city, easily before the Lafayette Club.
Pat Raedy and Sailor Jim Brown met
on Saturday night TO talk over a match.
They agreed TO box six rounds as a pre-
liminary to the Daly-Dooley go on August
20. When the matter of compensation
came up, President Neumeyer asked Raedy
whether the winner should take all the
money divide it." said Pat.
A Philadelphia paper in speaking of the
meeting between Stanton Abbott and
owen Ziegler, scheduled to take place at
Baltimore tonight, says that Zeigler is
the recognized lightweight champion of
America, and that Mike Bowden, who is
to box Abe Ulman, defeated Jim Hall in
three rounds. These are bits of Information
that even the wisest of the pugilistic fra
ternty have heretofore know nothing
Work on the big amphitheater in which
Fitzsimmons and Corbett are to meet in
Dallas will be started this week 1t will
cover eight acres of ground, which has been
cleared and swept. Four more acres that
are to be used for carriage and wagon
stands, and for lunch and refreshment
counters. have also been cleared.
Mike Small, the Englishman who is
matched to meet Johnny Connor, of Spring
field, ILL.,, will sail from Liverpool on the
steamer Teutonic, for New ork, tomorrow.
He will be accompanied by his trainer,
Bruw weDy Meadows. Small Is appropriately
named. He is a 105-pounder, and in the
best of his class in his country. He will
have to be good one to whip the SPRING
field lad.
The bout between Stanton Abbott and
Owen Zeigler at Baltimore tonight will
be an interesting event, though it will not,
as Is being claimed by the men themselves,
and the managers of the club under whose
auspices the meeting is to take place, settle
the matter of the lightweight champion
ship of America, much less the world. Ar
thur Valentine claims the championship
of England, Abbott's country, and every
child knows that Jack McAuliffe is the
lightweight champion of America. Zeigler
has never beaten McAuliffe, as 1t is being
claimed 1t is, in fact, quite reasona BILE to
believe that there are a half dozen OF more
133-pound men in this country who can
defeat either Abbott or Zeigler Both,
however, are rated as clever men, and they
should put up good exhibition. A delega-
ton OF couple of dozen of Washing ION
people will go over to see it. Abbott is to
be seconded by Jake Kilrain. Zeigler's
chief attendant will be Hugh Kennedy.
