AFTER KID BROAD.

!HS WoLueIs In the ring OF late, yet there
is one ma mayer who believes that he
has the superior pf the Clevelander and
is ready to back his statement. That
manager is Jack Dougherty and under
his wing he has Frank Patterson, the
Brooklyn feather-weight. So we'll does
D0ugherty think of his mans chances
with Broad that he has posted a forfeit
of 500 to bind a match at 1872 pounds,
weigh In at 3 O'Clock on the afternoon of
the battle. Patterson has already two
decisions over Broad, and has yet to suf-
fer defeat. Mary McCue also believes
that he can beat Broad, anu is anxious
to arrange, a ma Itch with him, but in Tie
event of the Clevelandite not accepting
the def he will take on Patterson.
Sharkey said that he never had any
intention of giving Mccoy another night,
feet was not made by him.
II have all along stated" salt he, that
I wild fight Fitzsimnons, winner lake
all. Fitzsimmons has agreed to this, and
] ann ready to do business at any time.
Let him name a time and I will meet
him. The fight a take place five weeks
after we sign articles.
II never said hat I would fight Nc
Coy. I defeated him once, and I don't
think there is n necessity for anoth-
would the public think of me fighting
Mccoy again? Choynski defeated MIN,
and the latter was knocked out by Wal
colt; so there you are.
ut makes no difference to me what
anybody else says, l ann out to fight
either Fitzsimmons or Jeffries, and If I
cant fight them I won't fight at all. In
regard to Fitzsimmons' side wager. that
ds. against the law. If he wants a side
bet, that a be talked over later"
Billy Brady intends that the visitors to
the Paris exposition shall not get away
without being afforded an opportunity
to learn something of American sport
ing affairs, especially that which per-
tains to the fistic end of the game. Speak
ing o his proposed carnival in Paris
he said the other day: Everything has
been settled and the tournament is now
"a surety. Plans for the building have
been sent me and workmen are now at
work on the building. Jeffries will sure-
ly box in one of the contests, and while
his opponent has not been selected he
will be the best man available in the
heavyweight class. No telling, perhaps
tSharkey might receive an offer to box
Jeffries. I leave New York in May for
a vacation and will not return until Sep
ten1ber Is. til nothing happens, I will
reach Paris July l, i'm time for the glove
