LOOKING FOR A FIGHT.
Seattle Aspirant for PugiIistic Hon
ors IL Visiting Tacoma.

Special Dispatch to the Post-Intelligencer
TACOMA, Dec. 25.-For several days past
the fancy" OF the sporting fraternity
have been looking forward TO a set-to to a
finish with much interest but It now de-
velops they are doomed to disappointment
at least for the time being. A few days
ago colored fighter known in the BUSH
ness as the Black Prince" reached here
from Seattle. The fact that the colored
man is fighter. and hard game at that
led to inquiry as 70 his errand here. result
ing In the information that the BLACK
Prince had come 10 Tacoma to put on the
skin gloves with a sailor named Agnew
who is known as a hurricane fighter and
clever man with the gloves. The story
went that Agnew was to try conclusions
with the visitor far. wager of $50, for
felt for which had already been deposited
by both parties.
Late last night 1t was learned that when
II came to placing the principal Of tho
wager Agnew hunked, but not because he
could not furnish the money. He is backed
by several local sports who would think
but little OF losing $3.50. II In so doing they
could see hot contest with decently fast
finish, and for this reason the impression
prevails there is a scheme behind the re-
fusal Of Aguew to meet his obligations In
this instance. II is limited that the play Is
TO get more money UP On the fight. and
that the two men may yet slug to a finish
There Is considerable talk to be heard
here regarding a probable go between this
BLACK Prince" and Jack Case, but as yet
nothing definite has been announced. 1t IS
understood that all arrangements had been
completed for the meet between the BLACK
Prince and Agnew at a certain resort be-
yond the city limits. and that II Case and
the colored man come together Il will be at

Preparation Is also being made for fin
