bers of the Excelsior Athletic club of this
city will conduct their annual spring box
ing tournament. The place where it Will
be held has not been engaged. A lotter
has been received from the secretary Of
the North Side Athletic club. of Pitts
burg, asking If members of the ENcelSiOrs
intended to enter the annual tournanrnt
of the National Amateur Union of Ath-
letiCs of the United States, which will be
held next month under the auspices Of
the Pittsburg clubs. The sentiment
among the members was against any of
their number going to Pittsburg, but the
matter was left entirely in the hands Of
Captain i. j. Durkin, of the club.
An effort is being made to bring together
in the iiStic arena James Judge, of Stone
avenue, and Jack Carroll, of Brooklyn.
Before Judge forsook the amateur ring TO
fight for money, he was the most for
midable youngster in the Excelsior Ath-
letic club. Carroll came here recently
from Brooklyn, looking for u match and
declares he can get responsible men in
that city to put up money on him. His
weight IL, on the average, ll pounds.
Judge Is somewhat lighter, but still pos
sesses the pluck to meet Carroll, providing
the money is forthcoming ana satsraC-
tory articles of agreement are drawn up.
At any rate Judge has grown heavier and
would not be much out of his class. If
Carroll agrees to train down u few pounds
and can get backing Judge will meet him
willingly.
