Jim Wakely, the New York sport
| ing man, has abandoned the idea OF
leasing the Coney Island Athletic Club,
and it is reported that Bally Brady Will
take the place.
Clever use of the head lets short
| reach fellow get in his work if he IS
! good coming in with the feet and reach
| ing out. Most big fellows are stir
| when they lead and don't get in all
their reach. Fitzsimmons has a body
| he can stretch and knows how to do it.
The winner of the 25-round bout be-
tween Jack" Bonner and Dick
O'Brien, which will be decided at the
Nutmeg State A. c., of Hartford, on
next Thursday night, will be given the
| chance to fight Frank Craig, the Cot
| fee Cooler at the National Sporting
club, of London.
Tommy White was talking of the big
fighters once and remarked that If a
! man didn't fight often he went back.
He laid his long stay in the ring to his
practice Of constantly engaging with
somebody or other. If his argument
stands good with the little fellows, why
not for the big?
Paddy Sullivan, manager of Oscar
| Gardner, had a talk yesterday with
DR.. Ordway, the American representa-
tive Of the National Sporting club OF
London, for the purpose of arranging
''go" between Palmer and Gardner at
116 pounds. Crdway has notified the
club to this effect.
Charley McKeever and Jack Moffatt
are matched to meet at Chicago next
Monday in siX-round contest. Other
bouts to be pulled off the same night
are: George Kerwin VS. Young Ma
honey, Steve Flanagan VS.. Harry Har-
ris, Eddie Sentry VS.. Jack Lewis and
two others between Chicago boxers.
Jeffries is a master of the left hand
hook, which he learned from Corbett,
while sparring with him at Carson
previous to the battle there, and, in ad-
dition, the Los Angeles man is we'll up
in the fine points Of hit, stop and get
away. The one spot on his record is
the fact that he failed 10 stop Bob Arm
strong.
Oscar Gardner is quoted as saying
that lin Danny Rowan Patsey Haley
, will find one of the toughest proposi-
tons he ever ran up against" Gard
ner has boxed with both men, and this
coming from the king of the fea.y.sr-
weights will undoubtedly boom Re-
vans stock. Rowan is in great condi-
ton, strong and very confident that he
| will win.
Jeffries is the only mEn who tech
nically defeated Sharkey, and Fitzsim-
mons is rated as champion of the world
in class by, himself, the public con-
ceding him that Frisco fight with
| Sharkey. l don't think Fitzsimmons
and Sharkey will come together in
spite of all the talk until possibly next
winter. Sharkey is after easy game
for a while like that Philadelphia go
with Chamberlain for six rounds.
When George Dixon was asked who
! is the best feather-Weight in this coun-
try, barring himself, he answered: Il
| IlIluh Usual UnCI Is Ii1G HAL. We
met him in q 25-round bout and know
what he can do. Some day he may
succeed me as champion, for he is i'm
proving steadily and is a powerful hit
ter. Ben Jordan, the English cham
pion, who got a decision over me, is
also a splendid feather-we but I
think I can beat him if we ever meet
again"
Il see old John L. Sullivan is blowing
around about what a good man Shark
ey is and how he is the best man in the
world to-day" remarked Fitz to a New
York reporter. 1T is something else
! that is talking and not the old cham
piOn, | am sure. Why, he said a few
weeks ago that l was cur, but I never
said anything about the way he acted
when we were to go four rounds at
Ambrose Park. Sullivan said to Jul
ian, L hear Fitz is going to drop me,
| but Julian told him that l would make
it a nice go, no matter what he did.
! Sullivan acted as though he was afraid
and never brought any fighting toys
along, and the police would not even
| let us shake hands" ~
