The Chicago boxer. Burns, JeffOrds, and
Charley Bangs viii be in Carriers COR
ner Thursday night.
The promoters of the match express
themselves as confident that there will
be no interference upon the part of the
authorities. No word has been received
from the governor or from Madison in
regard to the matter, and none is ex-
pected. During the winter the Oshkosh
Athletic club brought off five exhibitions
and some of them were given by men of
national reputation.
Just before the first one was given the
governor wired the sheriff and the dis
trict attorney that he would hold those
officials responsible to the extent that
no law should be violated He made no
suggestions that they should attempt to
stop the contests; simply admonished
them that they would be responsible for
any violations Of the law governing
such exhibitions if any should occur.
District Attorney Jackson and Sheriff
Potter held consultation and decided
prevent sparring exhibitions, and tho
result of the conference was that the
best they could do was to be in attend
ance to see to it that the exhibitions
were conducted properly. This they did
and the entire schedule was brought off
without any untOWard incident or any
unpleasant occurrence.
This the officials will do at the match
Thursday night, and they claim that
Governor I.afollette will take no fur
Their action but win rest upon the in-
structions that he gave with reference
to the original contest. The greatest
interest is being taken in the match.
and there is every indication that Cen
fury rink in which it is to be held, will
be crowded.
Chicago, May 15.-Root win leave for
Oshkosh at O'Clock today. His trainer
accompany him. Betting in local sport
is becoming brisk, with Root still ruling
al favorite. Carter money is not want
ing, however, and the indications ara
that the BrOolxlynite will be heavily
backed to win from his clever oppo-
nent.
