ATHLETIC CLUBS COMBINE.

Philadelphia, March 9.-Since boxing has

show For instance, n certain newcomer
to this city demands rs high a 81 3 for from
four TO six rounds, when his abilities are
worth scarcely half as an attraction to a
club. This is but a single case, and il is
very moderate one at that.
For protection, the four leading clubs OF
this city, the Tuxedo. Art, Nonpareil, and
Calc,ionian, have combined and will fix
scale of prices for the talent. These organ
izations are the strongest In this city, aud
unless theboXers come to terms a deadly war
is likely TO be the result. The rates will be
liberal and Will be scaled according TO the
ability of the talent.
