 Kid Garter, who is matched to nght Ice Walcott again, tells good sCoFy on himself. And, by the Way' "o0 Walcott was the villain in the piay.
 Not long ago Carber was ln San Francisco almost broke and on uns lookout for a fight in which to make , some money and get back east There was only one chance in sight, and Cnat was a bout with the Black Demon.
 Carter was so far down and out D. naocially that he was fearful he would lose the chance of the match, ana III his eageGness to get the light ne niane all kinds of propositions to the ciuo owners, finally winding up by ofTerlng to fight the negro for nothing.
 A western booknlaker who had ia" ken liking to Garter pointed out to } Hhe Kid that he could not make any money lighting for nothing, and inter eeted himself in the Brooklyn boy ana helped him to arrange the affair in business-like nannAr.
 Notwithstanding the intercession of his new friend. Garter was still afraid that be would not get the chance to go ',+a the ring with Walcott, and offered rht winner take all Walcott, T he found that Carter was so
 lly in earnest, got a little afraid of
 Kid, and the only way he would ii se the match was that the winner s,.suld take 75 and the loser 25 per
 Tt of the purse
 This suited Carter, and he set to
 !rk to train during the little time intervening before he was to enter the ing.
 On the night of the contest all the money that Carter had was $1.75
 Half an hour later Garter had knocked Walcott out, and his end of the purse was $2,20o.
 The Kid was overjoyed. for he had never had so much money in his life, and he was almost thrown into fit when, a few minutes later, he was made a presenS of $1 ,O0o additional by his bookmal2er friend, who had won several thousand dollars on his vic tory.
 It came so easy for Fitz, that bur- lesque with Con Coughlin, chat he is looking tos more of 1t.
 Bob has matched himself with Joe Grim for six rounds before the South ern Athletic club of Philadelphia The affair is to be held next Wednesday evening.
 This Grim person is the Arlte La tharn of the prize ring. He is a clown. And as such furnishes forth much amusement to those who pay for the fun.
 As a fighter. he has nothing, save lack of the ordinary mortals nerve centers. His sense of feeling has reached about the same degree of de= velopn1ent as has that of the jelly fish.
 Grim has made the boast, and with evident truth for he never has been, that he cannot be knocked out
 He may feel a jolt in the jaw, but it takes the sensation so long to travel to his brain that he never knows it until after the fifteen minutes of six round fighting are past
 In action, his methods are all his own. Just as "a man thinks he has him .clodhes-pimne on the ropes and ready for che iron, he turns a cart wheel and lands, right side up with care, somewhere else. He will whirl like skirt dancer until the other fel- low is dizzy trying to find his address.
 Then he will cut loose a gyrating Wh1rligag of wallop, with a war whoop.
 That's the Mccoy corl1screw," yeIrs Grim.
 A hip-fIap and:
 "zing! Here comes a Jeferies upper cut"
 Lock out for me now! I'm accom- ] ing! Heres where land a FHzsim- mons beay-whopper.
 He never corks up his flow of cona-' ment Could he hit as hard and of ten as he threatens, the mighty Jeffries would he JaTz'ed from his perch
 But with all Chis pdnwheeIs, Fitz will fetch him to earth The radius of Fltzs arm talreg in the whole square OI 0he ring and 'fhe whirling Grim will come within it.
 Joe Walcott, the welberweight cham spaon of the world who 6s rnatched to clash with Kid Garter in Boston on tuesday night next for twelve rounds. .las come out with am offer to take on Jack eTWin) Sullivan, the weIter- 5 wegtht champion of New England, s Wadcott will agree to stop htm inside or fifteen rounds or forfeit the eneire purse Sullivan and Wahcott fought nerce draw in Boston not Long ago.
