Nick Burley has refused to meet Pat
Raedy under the conditions of the man
who has backed him since his advent IN
Washington, and the match between tn .se
two boxers is necessarily off.
There will be another fistic fellow 70

vasey, who has gained quite reputA.
ton in Philadelphia and other cities, at
1856 pounds, has been secured by The
management of the local people to go
against the Swampoodle boxer.
Raedy can easily get down to the weight
agreed upon, and in speaking upon he
subject, Mike Haley, his mana ger, said:
THE match will take place about the
first week fn January, because 1t requires
some time tn bring Raedy down to
weight at which he has never fought he
fore. Furthermore, at 155 pounds, Pat
Raedy will be better man than at 1853,

Last night Greenleaf told the officers
that he had teen at work for several
years in the West. He said he had saved
his money and every time the sum amounted
to $50 he converted II into double eagls.
In this way he managed tosave considerable
money. He said he went to the lodging
house for the night because it would cost
him Eothing except his own work. After
investigating the case the police could
find nothing against the man, and he was
accordingly released this morning. Green-

IN THE WORLD OF SPORTS
Creedon Confident He Will Win
From Mccoy Next Friday.
"KID" READY FOR THE FRAY
Anti-FoOtfall Bill to Be Reported to
the Virginia Ham,
bure's Owner Is Still Unknown.
Cycle Facing Not Profitable-New
York After ShOrtstop Mexican.

Dan Creedon has finished up his training
for the fight with Kid Mccoy on Friday
evening next at Long Island City, and with
party OF seconds, friends Ind hackers left
Chicago yesterday for New York. A dis
patch from the Windy City says he looks like
with confidence and heartiness that can
come cnly from the heart of a game man.
His half brother. Tom Tracy, Joe Choyn-
ski, Ben Murphy, Ben Falk, Col. John Hop
kins, Parson Davies and George Siler ure
with him and they share his confidence in
his ability to defeat young Nj. Mccoy.
Dan says lie knows the kid" Is q conner
and he admires his cleverness, but the ,iay
when a youthful Hoosicr, with So few real
good victories to his credit, can overthrow
him has not arrived. That is the way the
Australian looks at 1t and he has friends
Who are willing to wager money on his way
OF thinking.
Creedon has been training at Palos
Springs, Ind, just twenty miles from
Chicago Tom Tracy and Joe Choynssi
have been training him, and they have
put him through course Of running, jump
ing, rag-punchin" and sparring that has
done wonders for the burly fellow. Al
ways aglcw, his cheeks are more bloom.
ing than ever and his flesh is pink and
firm to the perfection point. From the
day he went to Palus Springs until he
left this morning he has not had an ache
OF a pain, and therefore his physical con-
dition is perfect.
Stories have come from New York Of
the great ph rsical Improvement shown by
Mccoy since his last appearance in the
ring in that city. when he defeated Dick
Moore. These stories have not worried
the Creedun contingent in the least.
They know that certain Improvement
in So young man is to be eXepcted, bu6
they do not Loncede that this will counter
balance the e. perience. gameness and per-
sistency OF their favorite.
To sum the whole thing up, Greedon's
adhe-cnts icok at the fight III this way:
Dan has been in the ring, and knows
too much for a STRIPPING like Mccoy TO
whip. Creedon Il tust now in his prime.
AZ a careful reading of his record VIII
show. There is only one adverse de
cision against him-that given to Boz
FitzsiInInons. Mccoy cannot hit hard
enough 10 stop Cree1on, and as his hands
are in bed shape, they are liable to 60 to
pieces. Creedon can hit as hard or harde-
than Mccoy. The latter d;slikes punish
ment an iusliinS work, as was proved in
his la st fight " ith Tommy Ryan at SYRIA
cuse. He will probably stand off and try
TO make an out battle OF IL, but he canno;
do that with sIch q fast man. Creedon
will not b. denied.
