ski will not take on any more matches at
road as comedian in Tine Razzler," a
play written especially for the Califor-
Man. "Choynski is a born comedian

show is booked for several months, fight
offers are now out of order"
A wire from New York says: The per-
sistent Australian, Billy Murphy, who is
fighting long enoug to be retired on a
pension, is still at it. In a message sent
Sioux City the other night, Murphy tel
egraphed: Put me on with McGovern
for six rounds, and if I don't stop him
I don't want a cent" The local fight pro-
a to exact protection from the COR

Terry McGovern has added 81, 500 more
to his long bank roll, this amount of
money being his share for the severe
punching he W. Elwood McCloskey in
their six-round bout at the Penn Art
Athletic club of Philadelphia. There was
over $4,000 in the house, n Terry got
half the receipts for fighting.
Louisville promoters of boxing are pre-
pairing to take advantage of the boom in
the sport, and the fact that they are shut
out of the east, and will try to get some
of the stars of the ring to meet in this
city. A number of important matches
are being discussed, and If it is found
possible to bring the men here next fall
some interesting battles within easy ac-
cess to Ohio valley lovers of the manly
art are promised. One of the matches
hat is thought most likely to go through
j. between Oscar Gardner and Terry Nc
Govern. The Omaha Kid is the best
drawing card that could be offered here,
and if matched against McGovern the
bout would doubtless Insure a sufficient
amount of money for them. If this
should be pulled off successfully an eff
fort will be made for a battle between
two ~top-notch heavy weights.
"a year ago 1 was employed about the
yards of a tannery in Clean. One day I
took in a boxing match uptown, and after
the battle I found out hat the winner
received about $3.50, while the loser made
nearly half that sum for an hours work.
l was getting about $3.50 a day and

self, You're a fool to be hanging around
here making hardly enough to exist.

spoke jim Fitzpatrick, after which he
was slammed all about the ring by that
third rater. Jeffords. And now it looks
as if Fitz might be compelled to return
to the tannery.-New York Telegraph.
Some of the eastern sporting men are
beginning to bet that Gus Rubin will
beat Bob Fitzsimmons when they meet
before the Rochester club, in the first
part of June. The men will box 25 rounds
and Ftzsimmons is a 2 to l favorite. The
fact that men like George Considine are
behind Rubin has given some strength
to the report that Rubin is a wonder
fully improved man since he began to
box with Corbett, which was when the
latter was training for his fight with
Jeffries.
Pittsburg Daily News: The most glar-
Ing kind of posters are being stuck up on
fences and billboards announcing that
Jim Corbett is the .'pugilistic marvel of
the age" When it is remembered that
he has been three times badly walloped

star.
st. Louis Globe-Democrat: George
Considine, Jim Corbett's was a
visitor at the track yesterday. Talking
of the recent heavy weight battle, he said
that Corbett had broken both his hands
during the struggle, and it was because
of this. he claims, Brady has offered to
give Corbett another chance at Jeffries
provided the fight took place wit two
weeks of the first battle. Brady, he
says, is afraid to risk another meeting
after Corbett's hands are in good shape.
During the fight, he said, Corbett was
never distressed and was always conf
dent. "At the end of the 10th round," ne
continued, II said: tJim, that was the
10th round, and & lot of money was won
on it. He answered: Yes, and he
couldn't whip me if we fought all night
AT the end of the goth he asked me what
round it~was, and I told him it was the
goth. Well said he, 7 will just jolly
him along for the next four rounds, and
in the last I will outslug him. This
knockout came when no one was ex-
pecting it, and if I can get another
match for Jim he will whip the big fell

had got into such fine shape for his bat
tie. Considine said he had worked harder
than he ever did in his life. Fol Shar-
