Prize Ring Notes.
A Pittsburg paper Is authority for the
statement that Sailor Sharkey is an Irish
man, and his parents are still living on
the Emerald Isle. After his fight with
Maher the sailor will sail for Ireland to
visit his parents
Tommy White has inaugurated school
of boxing of his own. One Of his favorite
blows is delivered with the elbow. There
are certain passages in the Marquis OF
Queensberry rules which prohibit this
blow l
Bob Douglass. the clover st. Louis well
terweight, has placed himself under the
management of Jack Wilkes and is out for
big game. Wilkes has convinced Douglass
that he can make more money out of one
| victory in regularly organized athletic
club than he could by winning dozen
| cellar or hayloft scraps in ST. Louis. Bob
has accepted his advice and will endeavor
to get on q match with Tommy Tracey or
some other welterweight before one of the
New York athletic clubs. Douglass boxed
with Tracey while he was living in st.
Louis with Dan Creedon some years ago
and Is confident he can hold his own with
Tommy
Fitzsimmons is practically the heavy
weight champion of the world, as it Is
doubtful if Peter jackson, the champion
| of England and Australia, will ever fight
| again. Corbett, through his recent defeat,
| has to prove that he is now even second in
his class, as Goddard, Sharkey and Peter
| Maher have some claims to that title which
| cannot be overlooked. Goddard, just at
| present, Is something OF an unknown guam
tity. At one time, just after his defeat of
| Peter Maher, he was In the front rank, but
he sustained physical setback just before
his go with Smith, from which those who
| knew him thought he would never recover.
He now claims that he has completely re-
/ covered and that he was never in better
condition In his life. His recent easy vic
tory over Denver Smith seems to bear out
this claim, but we can tell little of his
condition until he meets some good man in
this country.
In the lightweight class Kid Lavigne,
I the successor of foxy Jack McAuliffe, Is
the champion, with Eddie Connolly and
Kid Mcfarland good seconds. Conolly's
style Is much like Lavigne's, and II the
two meet there should be battle royal.
Mcfarland is more of boxer than fight
or. II he could put enough steam into his
blows, no doubt he could whip any man In
his class excepting perhaps Young Critic.
The fcatherweights have champion in
George Dixon. The fact that he has SO
often gone out OF his class, meeting men
as much as 10 pounds heavier than him
self, and received none the worst Of It, sim
ply shows how much Of champion he is.
White, Hawkins, Earne and Flaherty are
not featherweigbts, but close to the light
weight class. Solly Smith, however, is q
featherweight, but he has been beaten by
Dixon. Pedlar Palmer Is said to be one Of
the cleverest men In tho ring, his work
with the head and legs being particularly
clever; but, like many boxers, his blows
lack force At six rounds he could no
doubt gain the decision over any one up to
l22 pounds.
John L. Sullivan will not be the only
American pugilist to visit Europe next
summer. Tom Sharkey, tho sailor lad,
intends making q tour of England and
Ireland with the money he wins by knock
ing out Peter Mahcr. The sailor Is anxious
, that he will win the worlds championship
II ever thrown into 20 foot ring with the
auburn haired Kangaroo. With Corbctt
begging for just one moro chance and John
l.. Sullivan pressing his challenge and
Sharkey anxious for go, it looks M
though Fitzslmmons will have no diff
Guilty about making some sort of n match
when bc again elects to enter the ring.
