nc some good sport. and tunigh,'s fslic
carnival at Sutton's Broadway is the
climax. OF course that Dunn Rowan af-
faif is not TO be laid at the door Of the
club as the outcome was not known to
the managers. All the clubs other fights
have been good.
Uncle Dick Sutton knows just what
the people want in the way OF sport and
crooked fight never took place at his
opera house that he knew it. He j. square
and he deals only with square people
have put on the best pupists that
tliit country ever saw" said "Cnclc" Dick
ut ! believe t0nieht's entertainment
bca them all. one. had the mighty
John J.. Sullivan here and also Peter
Mahcr. when the Irish champion was in
his prime.
In JeIi and lin the sports will see
the two greatest fighters of all time. and
they will see a red hot bout. for the big
ones have no love for one another"
One Of ,onghl's best prelminarics will
be the five round bout between kid" Lob
man and Kid 1hompson. These are
the two best matched lad, that have been
put on III a long time and they are sure
to furnish = good article OF sport.
They fought hard at the Dunn Rowan
contest the other night. and before the
bout was over the crowd was on IL, feet
shouting wildly. Il is said that side
bet was posted this morning and that one
Of the agreements was that Iohman should
stop his man within four rounds
There is no doub, as TO i.o'iman', being
tine clcvercr man Of the two, but he lacks
lhompson's strength and aggrcssivcncss
aud hc hasn't got the punch to finish his
man. But the boy, viii go in for blood
aud il will be a warm preliminary.
They tell a good one on JEFF Shortly
after he and fiz had signed to make a
tour Of the states they decided to meet at
private gymnasium in San Francisco
aud spar in order 70 know how to act on
The stage.
But the two giants never had any par
ticular love Tor each other. and besides
lcll was sore over the reports that the
fight had been q fake anl tha, he could
never have whipped Fit on the square.
80 when the Two men stripped Tor
action in the Frisco gym the champ"
had il stamped in his mind to give Ruby

what he could do and to prove that he
was the freclled ones master.
Icilries went right after Bob and sent
in hooks, jabs and uppcrcutS that dazed
the Kangaroo Tor minute But Bob soon
pot wise TO Jim's game and kept the 2Io
pounds OF bone aud muscle at distance
for the next two rounds. Now, Bob was
in far the best conniton at this time as
his former conqucror had lost his wind
since The championship battle, and knowing
this. he let Jim wear himself ou trying
TO reach him with his giant paw
In the fourth and concluding round
Bob got even good and plenty. He punched
Jim III the bread basket aud the giants
braath came fast aud hard. Bob stnt
the left to the wind and Jeff was about
ready to collapse. Bob jabbed right 20
the nose and the blood came so fast that
the champion couldn't breathe Then the
Cornishman dug in. for he had i'm where
he wanted him. The timekcepcrs were so
interested that they forgot to call time.
and for five minutes he OF the sorrel top
landed swings and jabs that almost put
Jcfffies in the land Of Nod
After the bout Jeiires told Fitz that he
had planned to whip him, but that he had
received more than he bargained for and
lie begged Bob never to dig in" again.
ritz laughed, but said he liked the sport
and was ready for bout in earnest at
any old time.
