Jack Everhardt, the New Orleans
lightweight who left this city last June
with Tom O'Rourke, Joe Walcott and
George Dixon for San Francisco. where
he defeated Spider Kelly, the California
lightweight, ina twenty round bout,
arrived in this city on Monday. Since
he has been away he has been to New
Orleans, Hot Springs, st; Louis, and
Chicago. Everhardt looked in good
shape and says he is ready to box
Lavigne, DAILY or Spike Sullivan before
the club offering the largest purse. In
speaking of his cattle with Kid Mozart
land in New Orleans, Everliardt told
many things yesterday, which kept the
boxers and their managers who go to the
Police Gazette, continually laughing.
This is the way Everhardt described It:
81 never saw such crowd at a fight as
there was at that one. Why. do you
know the building held fully $4,000
people and there were fully 5000 on the
outside who could not get inside. As
soon as they would reach the two doors
which led into the building each sport
would hand his money to the door
ten 1ers instead Of buying tickets. The
receipts OF the show were over 1900,
but Mcfarland and myself ONLY got
81, 2S7 apiece. The doorkeepers made a
big pile of money that night, and one Of
the men ! had on the door walked into
the hotel so loaded down with silver
dollars that his suspenders broke and his
trousers fell down, allowing silver dollars
to scatter all over the floor" Everhardt
said that his man admitted afterward
having made 1858. The door tenders at
the gallery door each made between $500
and $500, which they had taken in. aq
one of the club officials bought
slaughter house after the show. Ever
hardt acknowledged that he and Mozart
land had been badly swindled Gus of
money by the club officials.
Referring to his second meeting with
Yousouf, which takes place at the Met
ropoltan Opera House, New York, Sat-
urday night, Ernest Roeber says: II am
confident l can throw the big fellow. I
have thrown much bigger men than he
is, and am not in doubt as to the re-
suit. People should not make the mis-
take Of thinking that, because l didn't
go to close quarters with him at once,
that fear him. Any wrestler who gives
away forty pounds to an opponent would
be extremely foolish to clinch with him
at the call Of time. A scientific boxer
does not mix it with heavy opponent
until he has felt of him. 1t is the same
with the scientific wrestler. l simply
insist on wrestling Yousouf in my own
way, and if he then defeats me, shall
have no complaint to make. However,
think it would be good plan for him to
keep his temper even if he does not sue
coed in getting clutch on me in the
first jump: He'll get all the wrestling he
wants before the match is over"
