Patterson likes the way battles are
judged in the old country. He says
that the referee stays outside of the
ring. but at that he has good control
or the lighters. When man. is
knocked down the referee sends the
other man to his corner, and he is not
alioWed TO crowd his man until he is
falrly on his feet. The referee has
the authority to fine theamen, and as
lghters like money they mind him.
Now that Jack o,Brien, the clever
Ph1ladelphia middleweight, has re-
turned from his successful campaign
abroad, he will in all probability have
an opportunity to clinch a match with
Tommy Ryan for the niddleweigIt
championship of the world.
A couple OF weeks ago Ryan an
nounced his willingness to meet
O'Brien in a match for the title, and
| now the Philadelphia returns with
the announcement that he is anxious
| to meet Ryan.
If Ryan was sincere when he issued
his challenge, and there is every rea-
son to believe that he was, the match
| should be clinched in the near future,
| A battle between Ryan and O'Brien
| would be a rare treat for followers
! of pugilism, and would help clear the
/ horizon as to the real niddleweight
champion. O'Brien is confident thai
| he can defeat Ryan, and it will not
be his fault If the match is not ar
/ ranged. Should he be successful iI
a match with Ryan, O'Brien says thai
nothing would, please him better thar
to have a bout with Fitzsimmons.
Altho Ryan is looked upon as the
ddleweight champion, and has beer
Fitzsimmons claims that he is still the
] possessor Of the title. While 1t is true
that Fitzsimmons has never been de-
i feated at the iddleweight limit, he
| is considered to have long since passed
i that weight, and even his friends d.
4 not believe that he could get down tt
4 1853 pounds and fight in his usual gooe
4 form.
