roses ON condition that the sailor shall
waive the right to bind up his tender
maWleys in soft bandages, as provided
py the present articles. 1t was at JEFF
fr1e's suggestion that the fight was
made winner take ALL" and Sharkey
has been very busy telling the sporting
scribes all over the country that this
arrangement suited him to ct" and
also informing admiring rubbernecks
Just how he intended to lombard the
burly boilermaker with a broadside of
blows that will shift the championship
crown in Jig time. And now his sailor
ship wants a losers end! Looks as
though the eX-man-o'-warsmand doesn't
think quite so well of himself after all.
Says Kid Mccoy: "Fitzsimmons' ex-
cuses are ridiculous. He pretends to ig
more my challenge on the ground that I
had an opportunity to fight him before
he fought Jeffries, and, having over
looked that chance, I am not entitled to
any further considera ton l am not on
the eve of retiring, as he pretends to
be, and am confident that have few
good fights left in me yet. I question
his ability to scale 1853 pounds, and if he
can stand ready to make a match at
that weight"
Palmer and McGovern drew a sS2. 779
gate. The boys split up the $4,000
purse, and also cut up so per cent. of
the receipts above $4,000. Each boy.

Palmer, according to wire from New
York, sold his rights to his manager,
A. F. Bettison, for $4,000 The English
lads profits in round numbers amount
ed to $4,000. No wonder he told Dan
Creedon that he ''sot the money" even
if he was whipped.
In order to restore his lost prestige,
Peter Maher, the Galway Apollo, with
the corn beef and cabbage dialect must
gain a decisive victory over Joe Ken
needy. the California giant, who recent
ly bested Gus Rhulin. Peter and the
Californian meet at the Lenox club on
September 25. Peter is training faith
fully. SO he writes jennie Quinn of
Pittsburg, and feels confident he can
trim the westerner before the stipu-
lated end of the journey, 25 rounds, is
reached.
The pusilistic market is well stocked
with heavyweights and the champion
of the heavy division will have less of
snap to defend his honor during the
next four or five years.
McGovern says that when they shook
hands in the ring he said to Palmer:
We'll. Palmer, We'll shake hands now
for I'm going to lick you" Terry says
that Palmer replied: "Hif you do it
will be blooming marvellous" After he
was revived in his corner Palmer was
heard to say: "Wot was it 1T me?"
