to demonstrate to American ring-foil0w-
ers just where he stands in the pugilistic
ranks. On the. 2Sth of this month he will
try conclusions with Tim Callahan OF
Philadelphia before the Twentieth Cen
fury Athletic club of San Francisco.
Next to McGovern, the Quaker city lad
is the best of his class that could have
been selected to try out the champion
from the antipodes Quick as a cat on
his feet, possessing an excellent defense.
and good left hand, Callahan represents
the highest type of a scientific boxer.
Also during the past year he has devel-
oped wicked knockout punch with
either hand. In his last battle with Oscar
Gardner, the Philadelphia outgeneraled
and outfougfht the veteran Omaha Kid
from start to finish finally sending him
to the canvas for the count out with a
neat clean jolt on the point of the Jaw,
which left no room for further argument.
The newly arrived Australian is about
tWent~~ mine years OF age and stands five
feet SIX inches high. Hegarty comes to
these shores, as many of his countrymen
have done in the past with the reputa-
ton or a world-beater. Allowing that
ne may be in the eyes of the anti9odcans.
it does not follow that he viii class A
according to American standards He
has been fighting for many moons, and
nine years ago was held down to a draw

The Nutmeg Athletic club, Of Hartford.
Conn, has offered $4,000 purse for a
Dave Sullivan on July 4. The former is
willing to accept. He hates Sullivan as
he hates poison, and would make almost
any sacrifice to get the latter into a ring
with him. But Sullivan is wise in his
generation. This is not the first chance
that has been offered him to fight Nc
Govern.
He has been matched. with Terry in the
East, West and South, offered good in
duCements on all sides to exchange buff
fets with the champion Yet he always
found q loophole Of escape at the last
moment and 81 d serenely out Of dangers

that he is no match for McGOvern.
Kid Carter the Brooklyn mlddleweight,
matched to fight Jack Root before the
Twentieth Century club, of San Franc s.
co, on June g. passed through Chicago
last Wednesday night. He was accom-
panied by his diminutiVe manager, Char
ley Bangs, who has a world OF faith in
his champion, and firmly believes that
Garter can whip any man within TWEEN
ty pounds of his weight.
AS predicted in these columns a week
ago, Wrestler Jenkins had an easy time
throwing Prize Fighter Tom Sharkey
when they met for hugging match on
the mat at Cleveland last Tuesday night
great strength and rOugh-house
tactics proved of no avail against Jen-
kin's fine science. He handled the sailor
with ease, tossed him this way and that
tied him into knots, and bumped the tars
to demonstrate the fact that he had bet
ter stick to his own trade and leave
wrestling alone for the future.
The report that Mysterious Billy Smith
has determined to retire from the ring
proves to be incorrect. The Boston lad,
who once reigned as king of the welter-
weights, asserts that he is as god as
ever he was, and is ready to make mat
ters lively for any. one in his class.
Dame rumor has 1t that boxing will
soon take place at Fort Erie, several
Buffalo sports having made up their
minds to operate on Canadian soil. This
is an old story which lacks confirmation
The Canucks may stand for sparring at
Toronto, and have done so for the past
two years. But when it comes to ques-
ton of fighting. on the boarder, the sub
jects of King Edward VII are apt 20
arise in their might and squash the in
