against boxers during half of last win.
 ter, will open again. The. first bout
 will be at the Chicago Athletic asso-
 citation, and arrangements are all but
 completed for big show in one of the
 local halls. Sheriff Barrett has said
 that he believes Governor Yates means
 what he says about keeping the fight.
 CTS out of the ring, but politicians as sert that the governor has changed his l mind. States Attorney Charles s.. Deneen has a gubernatorial boom which is running in opposition to that of Governor Yates. Frank O. Lowden.. who is the son-in4law of the late George M. Pullman, also has boom. and as both these men are Chicago l men, Governor Yates's friends have asked him to withdraw his opposition 1 to the liberal government which Chi cago wants. ss.:ss.sa 4s
 Tom o'Rourkekis once more in man. agerial harness He has. assumed the 1 care of Marvin Hart,s the Louisville light heavyweight. Hart was a good I one before he broke his hand on George
 Gardner, the present champion of the class It was thought at the time that Hart's injury would put him on the
 shelf for all time as far as ring en- deavor was concerned. but now the 1 hand is properly nhended and Marvin is back in the business Marvin is as l good now as he ever was, said 1 O'Rourke yesterday, .'and I am conf
 dent that he can beat any of them. ] We are ready with challenge to 1 Munroe. And we will make it winner l take all.''
 Here is the latest from Al weinig: i';If that grand old man Of the prize l ring wants to prove to the public that
 he is not a grand old buffer, let him l accept my challenge before he meets l Jim Corbett in that framed-up match
 they are trying to spring on the public now. The Corbett- Fitzsinlmons match
 was all cooked and dried out in Frisco l and they pretend to be angry at each other to work up great deal of inter-
 est in the match, but the public do not care to see the two gentlemen of the prize ring do battle, and these fakes have to be exposed Both Corbett and | Fitzsimmons are so x old that their
 bones are brittle, and break even by hitting such fellows as Ruhlin in the stomach, as Fitz himself admitted If l Fitz. or Corbett wish to box. will l box either Fitz or Corbett and wager
 $50 to $500 that will stop either man
 in twenty rounds, winner to take all :" 1 That much heralded battle between
 Benny Yanger and Eddie Hanlon will be fought tonight in San Francisco.
 Both boys are in shape to do and dare. Yanger has been doing yeoman' S work l at the training stunt, so that he will be l able to solve the westerners style. I'll beat Hanlon this time as sure as l ever did any other fighter I ever met
 in the ring, said Yanger And it will be legitimate victory at that. The l fact that I am long shot in the bet l ting is an incentive for me to win. as
 am intent on risking some of my OWE
 money on the result My injured
 wrist. is well again. My hands are l stronger today than ever before and l at this very moment T am aching to
 land them on HanIon' $ jaw I'll be l patient, however, and leave that work for the twenty ninth, when I'll beat MT Hanlon, then challenge Young Cor bett for the championship, which I hope to proudly possess sofne day"
