 s.Jabber'' Carey, through his mana ger. Johnny Mack, has declared his willingness to take on Con Coughl1n, the Irish Giant. The Tammany club of Boston would make a bid for the fight. It would be good try out for the new candidate. as the "Jabber' is a, husky proposition so long as he doesn't get cold feet. Sam Fitzpatrick, the Irish mans handler has no objections to Carey, and 1t is probable the men will get together.
 Joe Walcott and Young Peter Jack son of Baltimore have been matched to box twenty rounds for the welter- weight championship of the world. The battle will be decided before the Pas time A. G., Portland, Ore, on June IS. The weight is 145 pounds. Jackson is considered Walcott's nearest rival i'll this division. His last mill was with Tom Reilly, the champion in this class of the west. Reilly proved to be an easy victim for Jackson, the latter knocking Jackson out in two rounds. Jackson and Walcott met about year ago at Philadelphia for six rounds, and the combat ended in draw.
 philadelphia Jack'' O'Brien has SUdIIlD& not probable that they will travel in harness any more. The partner is known to fame as "Klondike Bob" Nash. O'Brien and Nash were to have boxed a friendly exhibition in Potts. vile, Pa, Thursday night. Nash's ideas of friendly set-to" are peculiar. He knocked O'Brien out. The exhibi- tion was slated for four rounds, and was to have been tapping affair. When they put up their hands, Nash ''tapped'' his boss on the jaw with right swing that upended O'Brien and bumped him on the floor. This not only pained O'Brien but surprised him. When he righted himself he started to square accounts, and rough house was under way. Q'Brien was so mad that instead of working his usual clev- erness, he waded in to end matters with a single swipe. This put him in the error column. In a mix-up, Nash's mighty mauler fell on O'Brien's chops and OBriens light went out.
