REACH THE CITY TO-DAY.
Cincinnati PugiIisf Ready to Fight
Andy Walsh Next Thursday-Snn-
tora and Kelley Rematched.

Mike Schreck will reach this city to-day,
according TO kilograms received at the West
End Club last evening. the dispatch asSur-
ing the match with Andy Walsh for next
lhursday night Walsh Is already in the
city. and the bout will be arranged at tif-
teen rounds and for los pounds.
The length Of the 60 caused considerable
discussion. and unless Schreck is anxious
Tor longer route. il will be settled for
the fifteen-rOund distance. II is thought that
the men will fight faster in the shorter
period. and this decided President Haush-
ton 10 match the pugilists for the lesser
route.
Walsh has a victory over Joe walcott 10
his credit and has also knocked out ''Mys-
terious' Billy Smith. He is not the Walsh
who was once scheduled to fight the win
ner of the Schreck-Kelly go. That scrap
per being a Canadian product, who has
since passed into oblivion. far as this
CITY Is concerned. II will be recalled the
clubs physician examined this Harry
walsh and decided he had better not fight.
As preliminaries Nick Santora and Coon
ey Kelley will be sent over a ten-round
route Kelley may be favored by the long
g gi,r nsht. but it seems that Sanford holds
pounds. Both are now in the CITY.

Dispatches have been received from both
Young Corbett and Abe Atteli asking for
fights here. Harry Poliak. manager Of
Young Corbett. is willing to take on any
good man for an eight OF uen round go.
He states that he wants no more men
keefe-that he prefers some really good
man OF national repute.

enough 10 take chances on such ma tch
he might get therefrom. But whether Cor
bett is willing to take on such bout re-
mains to be seen.
Ed Smith. sporting editor of the Chicago
Chronicle. and manager of Hugh McPad-
den. has written asking for match for his
man. He suggests Tommy Feltz ar 1875
Pollak suggested Brooklyn Tommy Sulli-
van as a man Young Corbett would like to
meet over a short route.
From the assortment of bouts offered. it
appears that the club might be able TO Sc
lect a really good fight for the immediate
future.
Con Coshlsn: who rejoices in the we'll
worn name Of the Irish Giant" is out
with def to all heavy weights through his
manager. Sam Fitzpatrick If Coghlan goes
the way OF most of his predecessors he will
prove easy prey for some of the middle
glass fighters in the ring. Many wonders

vision lately. and but few of them have
made good
Coghlan is feet 81 inches tall and weighs
2sS pounds. Fitzpatrick is authority for the
statement that he is unusually fast for his
size. He has fought but seven times. ac-
cording to the same authority. and has won
each battle. As some of these fights We're
contested in Ireland they may or may not
count for much.
Fitzpatrick is modest in one respect-he
admits that his man is no match for Jeffries
This is an unusual position for a manager
to take. Most representatives of new
heavyweight wonders preface their remarks
by showing lust how rig dub the cham
pion really is. II CoShlan really makes
good he will be a welcome addition to a
class where high-class men are few and
far between.
