PUGILIsTIo POINTS.

ing out his "fistic tourney" accord
ing to schedule he will Immediate
ly take prestige as the pugilistic
manager par excellence. The TACT
that Jimmy Fleming Carroll is
with Maher and that he will Sec
ond him against Fitzsimmons
makes a great many think a good
deal better of the Irishman's
chances than they did. That he
can easily whip as good man as
Fitz, most people believe. Why
not whip Fitz then? There's the
trouble. Judges of the fighters
don't take much stock in a man
who is known to have quit three
times in his career, with Jackson,
Goddard and FitZsimmOns. He
may disappoint them at that and
for the credit of the land that bore
him and because of the faith still
placed in him by thousands of 10y
al sons of the could sod," it is to
be hoped that he will "screw his
courage to the sticking point"
Unless the Texas darkey, alright
Eyes," is a fistic phenomenon he
will not last long after "the Goril-
la" sizes him up. Walcott is such
a determined fighter, is so strong,
so clever and so hard a hitter that
an ordinary fighter has no show
whatever against him. That being
the case, Stuart should have the
Leeds and Everhardt fight after
Walcott and Upright Eyes" finish.
They are almost sure to go twenty
rounds, while the negroes will
hardly occupy the ring for more
than half an hour.
By the way, il Dan Stuart is wise
he will bar out women from his
boxing shows. Women have no
business at ringside.
Dixon and Marshall will put up
a grand battle. Jere, it is true, has
never shown his true Australian
form in this country, but it Is ex-
planned that until recently he has
never been "just right" since his
return from the Antipodes. Tom
O'Rourke has a good deal OF re-
spect for his fistic ability, and as
he Is training in congenial eli
mate he ought to be able to put up
"the fight Of his life" against Dixon.
There is a strong belief that
Johnny Murphy has q very good
chance of doing Jimmy Barry.
The friends Of the authenticated
boy say that Johnny is a good deal
stronger than he was and even
cleverer. They admit that Barry
is a wonder, but they think that he
has never tackled such stiff game
as Murphy. At any rate they are
willing to cover Barry money at
s to 10.
