The San Francisco call., 1896-08-09

maledictions at the perverseness and de-
lay manifested by pugilists in general in
arranging for boxing match.
Yesterday afternoon Joe McAuliffe and
Eddy Graney. the latter representing Joe
Choynski, signed articles for a contest OF
eight rounds, the conditions of which
were stated in Yesterdays CALL.
So the mission Giant" and "Chrysan-
themum" Choynski on the 28th inst. will
cheerfulIy punch the smiles off each
Others faces in the endeavor to convince
the sporting fraternity that only the brave
deserve the fair.
Shortly after o'clock, the hour ap-
pointed for the meeting, Barney Farley
appeared with mis- huge charge in tow.
Barney was again uneasy. Rumors had
reached his ears during the day that the
wicked National Club was endeavoring to
thwart his plans by matching Choynski
and Alex Greggains.
His anxiety, however, was speedily dis
PEELED by the arrival of Eddy Graney and
Chauncey Choynski. The party, consist
ing of McAuliffe, Farley, Graney, Chaun-
eey Choynski, Jimmy Carroll, Director
Houston, Billy Daily and young Nit
chell, adjourned to a private room.
Discussion of the articles was at once
begun. All were in perfect harmony as
regarded the conditions of the articles to
be signed, with the exception of the num-
ber of complimentary tickets.
This was discussed at some length.
Considerable trouble has heretofore been
had at all boxing contests with regard to
the number of these tickets issued, and all
complained that they had been imposed
upon in former exhibitions.
A list had been made out and was
handed in by DAILY for inspection. In
Guiding press, official and few others,
the number aggregated 125. This was
finally adopted as the proper number.
Then McAuliffe signed, followed by
Graney. Houston witnessed the sigma
lures. In full the articles of agreement
read as follows:
