Dutchy," has been here fo- the past four
days and has devoted his time TO the pre-
liminaries. He has three prominent fight
ers under his management, and hopes to
make engagements for all of them. They
are Tom Sharkey, Alex Greggains and Joe
McAuliffe.
Most of his energies up to now have
been directed toward bringing the Mis-
sion Boy and James J. Jeffries OF this city
together. The latter declares his willing
ness to meet Joe, but claims that he is to
be matched TO go against Choynski This
IS doubted, however, in view OF the report
that Choynski is to meet Joe Goddard the
latter part of next month 1t is not con-
sidered likely that ChoynskI will make
any other engagements pending the out
come OF his contest with his old-ti foe
To-day it was learned that Steiner
would fight McAuliffe, and their go" will
be one OF the three big events. Sharkey
will be pitted against Peter Jackson, if
the match can be arranged, and Alex
Greggains will be sent against Theodore
