THE BOXERS.

Jimmy Carrolls Opinion OF the
Fighters of the Present Day.
Jimmy Carroll, the clever lightweight
pugilist, who is now an instructor of
physical culture, has an excellent opinion
of Dan Creedon. In speaking of the eel
ebrities of the present day, Carroll said:
| l think Dan Creedon is the best middle
weight in the world, barring Fitzsimmons, of
course, and ne should be just the man to put
prominent New York sporting man, who,
| speaking of the Slavin and Maher fight, said
| that barring "a fuke" Slavin should whip
Maher. agree with him, as 1 cannot see
where Maher has any chance of winning.
| Many people thought that Peter had improved
| in the last year and that he would whip Fitz,
| but they now know better.
So far as the New Zealander is concerned
am positive he will not agree to q meeting
with Corbett while he has dollar In his
pocket. know that Fitzsimmons will never
bet dollar on himself against Corbett, but he
will catch some betting man who will back
! him under certain con ditions, which must be
favorable to Bob.
Jim Corbett is the only man, to my knowl-
edge, who ever backed himself to the extent
OF $4,000 in cold cash. Corbett is a great
general and hnaacier, and uses extremely
good judgment when making matches. He
certainly means business, and is only too
anxious to meet Fitzsimmons in the ring.
What do think OF Peter Jackson? Well. in
good condition, / think Jackson can whip
any heavyweight. cannot say how Peter IS
feeling now. You know that speedy life will
tell on the best of men, and l think Jackson
has enjoyed himself a little more
than was good for him since
friend of mine who is a resident of London,
Eng, not long ago, and he stated that Jackson
looked exceedingly well, and should be able to
nj himself for one or two more battles before
he retires permanently from the ring.
In case FitZsimmons. should leave for Eng
land with the idea of turning over the cham
pionship to Jackson rather than to fight Cor
bett, l am OF the opinion that Jackson would
advise Bob to hold on TO the title, as he might
need it for advertising purposes. If Slavin
challenge Fitzsimmons, and that would prove
battle royal
Carroll said that Jack McAuliffe would
take trip to the Pacific Coast. Nothing
would give him greater pleasure than TO
meet him (McAuliffe) once again in fn-
ish or q limited round contest.

sextuplet pacing machine. When the at
tacks on records were abandoned he came
north ana rode with poor success at first
against the professional cracks, but now is
riding as speedily as any of them. To
beat such men as Harry Terrill, Campbell,
distance scratch race man has got TO be
mighty speedy. His evolution from a
slow amateur to a crack professional in
considerably less than year is unprece-
denied and remarkable.
As for Boyden he never could win as an
amateur. Time and again he started and
as often was noted among those who 'alSo
ran." Then some one advised him to turn
professional, assuring him that on his
poor showing as an amateur he would be
given a good handicap, and if he won he
would get bright, shining Juveniles" for
his reward instead OF a medal, cheap Jew
elry or undesirable merchandise. The man
who told him all this was prophet,
surely, for Boyden, the first time he
started as professional; which was last
Saturday, was given $50 yards handicap in
the mile. He had to ride unpaced all the
way, but he did it, winning first his heat
and then the final, amid the delighted
yells of his much surprised clubmates.
And now he jingles those gold pieces
against one another as he strolls into the
clubhouse OF an evening, and the mem bers
look upon their only professional almost
with idolatry. 1t is rumored that Charley
Bates will be the next to flop over"
There will be a good many men joining
the professional ranks before long. The
success OF Dow and Boyden will encourage
them to do so. Several ought to be there
now. Take Griffiths, Tom Hall, Tsntau or
Yeoman, for instance, they are far too
speedy for the average amateur. The term
does not fit them.

Palmer Defeats Murphy.

As was somewhat generally ex-
pected, the 20-round glove contest
at the National Sporting Club be-
tween Pedlar Palmer, OF Poplar, and
John Murphy, Of America, ended in
the victory of the English youth.
The contest lasted the full 20
rounds, but it can be safely said that
Murphy did not have the best of a
single one OF them. Very early in
the affair it appeared any reasonable
odds on the English man. The
splendid head and feet woik Of
Palmer enabled him to avoid re
ceiving much punishment, and he
perplexed Murphy greatly. The
thirteenth round was certainly the
best of the whole battle. Murphy
thought that his only hope was to
go in and fight his opponent, and
these tactics he accordingly adopt
ed. The American nearly hello his
own for fully minute in more than
one heavy rally, but when his effort
died away he was very weak, and
then he was called upon to take
some warm punches from the Eng
lishman. Murphy took all that he
got without Ainching, but he had to
act the part Of receiver general till
the allotted number OF rounds had
been gone through, when Palmer,
who at the close hit with les effect,
received The verdict. The battle
from the outset was the case OF
science against pluck The betting
at the start OF the contest was 8 to A
on Palmer.
