INDIAN TO MEET QUAKER
Promise Of Lively Entertainment
for Patrons of the Eureka.
Walked of For the
Future.

Jack Hanly. of Philadelphia, and Indian
Frank Wongo, of'the United States, are to
come together o-nigat in the arena of the
Eureka Club.
While neither of the young men are
bright particular stars, both are credited
with carrying around considerable ability
in the scrapping sort.
Hanly claims TO have bested that pestif-
erous individual, but hig h class b'exer,
Australian Griffo If he did so meritori-
ously, this, in itself, should stamp him
as a good one.
wongo, the Indian, has been milling
around various parts of the cou ntry for
the past four or five years. He has won
some fair victories, though none OF them
have been of startling kind.
For the meeting Tonight Hanly, who
has much confidence in himself, is TO
weigh in at the lightweight limit while
wongo can go as far as 40 pounds
Before Hanly and wongo tackle each
other there is To be curtain raiser or
two. In one of these Tody Banks and Alex.
Brown are To be the chief figures, while
in the other Sailer Jim Brown and Pat
Raedy may appear
The other day a paragraph appeared in
these columns To the effect that Pat Racdy
notified the Eureka Club officials that he
would undertake the contract Ia stop Hite
Peckham in ten rounds, but that Peckl.ar.,
upon being informed of Pats proposition,
had shown no disposition to accept IL. II
now turns out that Peckbam was averse
to such a meeting because 1t would have
been put on as preliminary affair, and he
regards himself as being better than fill-in
card. In fact, if usually relia BILE persons
can be depended on in this matter, Peckbam
is not at all disinclined to give Pat go,
not only To a limit, but to a finish, for,
say, $500 or $500 a side, provided Pat
will come tO $50 pounds and Hite viii
agree to scale under 143. 8
George Godfrey, having failed tn inform
the Eureka officials regarding his intcn-
tions as to a meeting here with Billy Woods,
negotiations were opened yesterday with
Bob Armstrong, Parson Davies colored
ex-protege. Bob is inches over six feet and
weighs in the neighborhoud of 200. Woods,
if the meeting is arranged, will weigh about
thirty pounds less. The Eureka has not had
a bout between heavy weights, and there is
a general desire among the clubs patrons
to see one.
John Glynn arrived in the city yesterday
from Wilmington. He said tp Times
reporter that he was here strictly for
business, and that business was to make
a match with Joe Baten1an. Glynn says
il he meets Joe he will want a side bet for a
reasonable amount, besides a purse. As
Bateman has friends here who want to see
him against the Wilmington boy again, AID
who are willing to furnish a bet for him,
it is more than likely that a match will be
consummated, perhaps before the day is
over.
Billy Mcmillan has made arrangements
with the race track people by which he
is to be released from work until after
he has settled his proposed controversy
with Paddy German. He will begin train
ing as soon as German has put his sigma
ture to the articles of agreement. Paddy
is looked for in Washington to-day
The efforts of the Olympic Club at New
Orleans to once more get back into the
boxing line cannot fail to attract every fol-
lower of this sport, not only in this coun-
Try, DuU III EDglduu anu AustIAIid. Ill Tue
ring of this club the greatest battles Of the
day were decided. Here it was that Jack
Dempsey, believed for years to be the
greatest pugilist of his class the world
had ever produced, fell an easy victim to
Bob FitZsinimons.
Here, too, 1t was that the now champion
of all the boxers set his star high in the
pugilistic firmament by outpointing the
once clever champion, Jake Kilrain, and
here, too, it was that later on Corbett
wrested the championship from the great
est fighter the world ever saw, the mighty
Sullivan. The history of the Olympic
ring is replete with incidents that will
live for many a, year in the mind of the
pugilistic world, and every movement made
to bring it again into freedom and promi-
nence will be full of interest.
Bob Minor aud Sam Ragor, one-armed
men, have been matched to box ten rounds
for a purse before Cincinnati club.
