articles 10 box six rounds in Chicago the
latter part of next month.
Tommy West desires TO get on fight
with any man in the middleweight divi-
sion. West says he Will agree TO a battle
at catchweights.
In a letter 10 a friend Terry McGovern
writes that he is not averse TO meeting
both Benny Yeager. the "Tipton Slash
err" and Kid Broad in one ring, and on
the same night.
Al Herford, manager Of Joe Cans,
states that everything is clinched for
Cans battle with Terry McGovern. The
affair is 10 be held In Chicago on Dec. II.
Cans must stop McGovern In six rounds
or the decision will go against him.
The Nonpareil A. c. OF Louisville has
seen its way out OF the trouble which
was caused when Tim Callahan OF Phil
adelphia refused to meet Dave sullivan
by matching Mysterious Billy Smith
TO meet Billy Edwards of Australia. The
encounter Is for 20 rounds.
A. c. and W. A. Brady are having a de-
bate. Houseman asserts that Brady au-
thor.Zed aim TO make q match between
Jerfries and Corbett, but Brady says he
merely asked Houseman 10 arrange a
six-round bout, In which Jenfies should
be one of the contestants. At any rate,
Houseman drew up articles and inserted
an ant-fake clause. 1t looks as though
Brady remembered about the six-round
part OF IL too late
Tommy Ryan now that he is out with
Jeffries has changed his opinion about
Taffriag dafaafinrr Eifuaiffarn0pe RYAN
says: "lf FitZsimmons should ever meet
Jim Jeffries and fight him right. or fight
the way | think is right, ! would say the
red topped mans chances were the best 4"
Fitzsimmons does not have 10 go 10 Ryan
for advice about boxing. for he is as
well up in the game as Ryan.
Billy Madden on behalf of Gus Rubin
has found many objections 20 a clause in
the articles OF agreement signed by Jim
Jeff&es and submitted To him by Man
ager Brady. Madden, who Is now In
Mahanoy City, Pa. says that the clause
which dwells on how the men should
fight is not suitable TO him. The oojec.
tionable one. which he erased. reads:
The men snail be permitted TO fight
with one hand free, each protecting him
self on the hreakaMaY. but theY arc 10
break al the command OF the referee"
Madden made il read this way: THE
referee shall interpret the rules" Billy
also selected George siler in preference
with Siler as an appropriate Official.
Otherwise the articles are all right, Mad
den says. II is not thought that anything
will be done relative 20 the match until
Madden and Rubin arrive in New York.
Tom O'Rourke has issued a challenge
on behalf of Joe Waicott 20 meet Jim
Corbett. O'Rourke is of the opinion that
the colored pugilist can defeat the for
mer heavyweight champion. In a letter
O'Rourke says:
Seeing that all of the big fellows have
hid behind Jeffries with the exception OF
James j. Corbett who Is out OF work and
stu looking for fight. ! Will post 5000 on
behalf of Joe Walcott TO box Corbett
any number ~ rounds. from 20 up. that
the club Will allow. | hope that Mr.. Cor
bett will crafty Air. Walcott's desire"
Many sporting men think that Walcott
viii beat Corbett in the same manner
that he conquered Joe Choynski ar the
Broadway A. G. N~w York Corbctt
fought Peter Jackson, and the impress
sion prevails that he cannot avoid Wal
colt by bringing up the question of color
