 Savannah, March 2o.-Before the Savannah A. c. last night Jack Grace of New York defeated Tom Corcoran of Savannah in six rounds.
 Louisville, Ky, March 20.-Frank Erne of Buffalo and George McFadden of New York have signed articles to fight before the Southern Athletic club of this city on April 14 for the light weight championship of the world.
 Kansas City, March 2O.-Tommy Ryan yesterday accepted proposition 10 box Johnny German of New York before the National Sporting club of London for $5,O00 d side, coronation week. The National Sporting; club tried to arrange match between Ryan and Jack O'Brien. but the men failed to agree on terms.
 Baltimore, March 20.-Joe Cans will have Kid Mcfarland as his opponent in twenty-round argument before the Eureka Athletic club in this city March ?. George McFadden had been talked of first, but as McFadden insisted upon an even division of the purse and a draw if both men were on their feet at the end of the fight. Manager Her ford. for Cans. let McFadden go and substituted Mcfarland.
 Oakland, March 20.-Billy Delaney, manager of Jim Jeffries. said yester- day: We have given Fitzsimmons until this evening to answer us. Jef- fries himself sent personal wire to Fitzsinmons, asking what his inten- tions were, but as yet he has received no answer. If Fitz is afraid of referees out here we are willing that he bring another reputable eastern man out with him. As agreed upon. the club making the highest bid was to get the fight, but if Fitz is not satisfied we Will accept any reasonable offer from any club"
 Philadelphia" Jack O'Brien's match With Tommy Ryan has been called off The two were to have boxed at Louis Vile on Derby night. but Ryan has sent the club word that he will not be on hand. as he has signed to box George Gardiner of Lowell in London next June. O'Brien will not remain idle, however. as he has clinched six round bout with Joe Walcott. This contest will take place at Philadelphia next Tuesday night. A project is also on to have O'Brien and Jack Root come together at Louisville on the same date that was scheduled for the Quaker City boxers tilt with Ryan. The weight mentioned is 160 pounds. Root was supposed to have been matched with Marvin Hart but it ap- pears that such an encounter has been abandoned, at least for the time being.
 A return match between Terry Me- Govern and Dave Sullivan is being dis cussed. and if nothing goes amiss in all likelihood the pair will have it out again within a few months. Yester- day Sullivan posted $1,0O0 as a forfeit To meet his late conquerer and friends Of Terry say the latter will cover the money provided Young Corbett. with whom McGovern is already matched, does not object. Tom Sharkey, who has Sullivan under his wing. says if a match is to be made the weight will have to be 12S pounds instead of 126, which was the scale when the pair clashed at Louisville. Sharkey thinks that reducing as low as 126 pounds weakened his man, and that with two more pounds his chances against Terry would be much better. A date for the Corbett-McGovern battle will be named on April 15. and Sullivan will have to wait until then for McGovern to cover his money,
 Kid Mccoy is in Paris, where he ap. pears to be enjoying himself by telling Frenchmen that he is the greatest fighter in the world. So smoothly has Mccoy talked that Count Castellane is said to have expressed a willingness to back him against Jeffries or Fitzsim mons for $20.O00. If the count will take the trouble to study pugilistio form and also consult few American experts at. the game, he may deem il advisable to keep his money in his in side pocket. It is doubtful if McCoy could be dragged into a ring witt either Jeffries or Fitz by a team ot horses
 The plan to have Charley White ref cree the "coronation''% bouts at the Ma tional Sporting club of London in June has excited much comment If White goes over he will afford Englishmen 2 novel spectacle. English referees art in the habit of sitting outside tho ropes, where they have very little tt say. At the National Sporting cluI Referee Augle always wears evenins dress. If White climbs through tn, ropes. his bald head glistening under the electric lights, and pulls off his coai as he usually does in this country. roy alty may be shocked. Then. again. il White rushes between two pugilists il a clinch and tears them apart, as i. the custom here. there may be q gen eral gasping for breath.
 Philadelphia. March 20.-Philadel phia Jack O'Brien knocked out Et Denfass of this city last night in tn, fifth round. The bout. which wa scheduled to go six rounds. was all il O'Brien's favor. Tn the third round h fioored Denfass. who took the limit O the count. From that time oh Denfas slowly weakened
