An attempt was made Sunday evening
at st. Louis, Mo. to bring off pugilistc
encounter on the river between Billy Ma
han of San Francisco and Brown Low
Sexton of that city. The pugilists left
Saturday for the battle ground, hoping
to avoid the police. When the boat
that was to take the sports to the ground
attempted to leave the dock twenty police
men went aboard and ordered the sports
back on shore, threatening them with ar
rest. This will put an end to fights in and
about st. Louis. The st. Louis sports
hoped on the recent decisions in the courts
there to be able to pull off a fight once in
a while.
