A large contingent of local sporting men
VIII go over TO Baltimore tomorrow night
to see the twnt five round contest bet ween
Joe Cans of Baltimore and George Siddons:
the Eureka Athletic Club Of lliat city
These lads should be put up a clever
mill. Cans method of fighting is well
known in this section, he having boxed in
good. goo shifty lad with his hands and has a
good head on his shoulders. In Siddons he
will meet ring general who will draw out
every thing there is in the Baltimore col
The kid" IS a much older hand at the
game of hit and getaway than Cans and
the latter Will not have time to stop ana
play marbles during those Twenty-Five
rounds. When looked at on all sides 1t is
hard to see how the cOlored lad can expect
anything better than draw, and he stands
a great chance of banking up against the
KIDS right handful OF ''fives" and go-
ing off into dreamland before he is through
So nan1 good men who could give
Cans ''cards and Spades" and good
beating thrown in, have hammered at
Georgie's head in unsuccessful attempts
to send him to sleep, that there Will be
a surprised lot OF sports II the representa-
tive OF the Sunny South" should happen
TO get in at the right time and place and
give Mr.. Siddons his quietus.
In addition to the main mill MI. Her
ford has kindly supplied Il preliminary of
ten rounds that should be well worth
seeing. Jack" Ward. the promising
youngster who finished ''Sol" English
off in the seventh round of the game at
the Front Street Ih"ater, the night OF
the Griffo- Cans bout. will be asked to go
up against an unknown" from Phlla-
| delphia.
Special rates have been made with the
railroads to carry passengers over to the
fight. Tie contests will commence sat
$50 sharp, thus giving the Washington
people ample time 10 get back to the
depot in time to return home the night
of the fight.
The Lavig ne walcott mill which Is
billed to be pulled off at the Empire
Athletic Club on next Monday night is
the principal topic of conversation among
the Sporting public. The general impress
sion appears to he that the colored man
will have an easy victory. That's all the
better as it gives the Layigne people
chance TO get down heavy" at good odds.
Take a quiet tip and have little wager
down on the KID"
Nothing has as yet been heard from
BILLY" Nally In reply 10. the challenge
that Jim" Janey issued to him last
week. If BILLY" wants to scrap, why not
