Ieffries Wants to Meet Everybody
Sporting News.

The entertainment given under the
auspices of the Rubin Central Athletic
club last night was not an unqualified
success.
Ed. Young of Toledo, and George
Church, of Cleveland, were ON the card
the star feature Of the program. When
the men sized up the crowd they were
satisfied that there was not enough
money in sight to make good what
they believed their services We're
worth. They demanded that the hat
be passed around for silver Offering.
In this way SIZE was raised. This
was turned over to the pugs. Future
developments proved that they were
getting too much for the exhibition
they put up. The crowd believed that
! 1t was not worth more than 30 cents.
For six rounds they patted one an
other in an affectionate manner. Some
one In the crowd shouted, Get a
couple of Holsters and turn them loose
in the ring and we will see some fast
work"
This made Church fighting mad for
n moment. He nwanted trouble and
he declared himself as follows: II
can lick any 115, pound man in the
world. Bring Jack Palmer around and
will trim his sails" No one be-
lieved that he really meant what he
was saying and they let 1t go at that
Palmer was not present and Church
was saved. Everybody was pleased
off.
The other contests which were all
friendly, follow: Ed. Gray and Ed
Winkleman, four rounds, 120 pounds;
Joe Currens and Hugh Dorrence, -four
rounds, 100 pounds; Chas. Phillips
and P. Bremen, four rounds, 12C
pounds; Frank Lyles. and Jack De
trick, four rounds at 1913 pounds.
WILL REORGANIZE.
A meeting of the Park Indians has
heen called for next week. The mem
mers of last years team propose tc

WILL FIGHT THEM ALL.
Billy Brady, manager of Jim JEFF
fries, feels so confident. that there l:
not heavyweight in the business
that can beat his big protege, that he
is ready now to arrange matches witt
all of them; namely: Sharkey, Mc
Coy. Rubin and Fitzsimmons.
Brady was very enthusiastic wher
he made this statement, and said:
~ cannot see where one OF these big
fellows has chance of ever whipping
Jeffries, and think Jeffrles will make
such short work Of Jim Corbet'
thar BE will furnish the public Will
one of the greatest surprises.
Immediately after TINT fight is over
I will agree to let JeffrIes fight kid
Mccoy the following night, Sharkey
three weeks after the Sailor fights
Mccoy, and Ruhlin three weeks after
that fight. In regards to Fltzsimmons
will let Jeffrles fight him in August
but we must get 65 per cent of the
gross receipts, which he compelled
us to give him when Jeffries is the
master Of all the heavyweights. and
j expect to see him beat Corbett IL
less than 10 rounds, | wouldn't care
to take the punching that Corbett will
get from Jeffries. JEFF Is sore on Cor
