 Arrested for Grand Larceny.
 Buffalo Feb 13.-Jack Herman, man ager of the International A. o. of Fort Erie, Ont, is disgusted with both Jeff fries and Corbett q have made up my mind to let the matter of clinching a match between them drop," said Herman. "Jeffries is only stalling, and I can't afford to be chasing around the country after him. l have been getting a lot of notoriety for nothing and don't see where all this is getting anything for me-"
 Manager Herman was asked what had become of the Young Corbett- Dave Sullivan match.
 Nothing doing with Young Cor bett," replied Herman. "He refuses to meet either Sullivan or Broad. He says that either of these boys is hard CT than McGovern, and he professes to be more eager to meet Terry than any one else. It is the same way with McGovern He contends that Broad or Sullivan is harder than Corbett and that he desires to wipe out the defeat he sustained at the hands of the Den verite before clashing with either Sul- hvan or Broad"

 Kid Mccoy has signed articles to | meet Marvin Hart of Louisville at Fort Erie on April 15. The two were matched before, but Mccoy declares that this time the fight will be held. The contest is to be for twenty rounds, for a purse of $5, GOO, of which the win ner is to receive 75 per cent and the loser the remainder It is understood that there will be side bet of $5,000, provided the, club permits the men to wager this sum. Hart is a clever fight CT and the Louisville sports believe he is the superior of any middleweight in the business. After making this match McCoy's manager issued a statement. the gist of which follows:
 q see that Corbett has declined Me- Coy's challenge. He states that there is nothing in the game for him but the title he lost to Fitzsimmons, the sec ond time he defended the same after holding it five ears. In comparing Corbett's record with McCOy's the rec or1s will speak for themselves Cor bett beat Sullivan in 1892 and has en- gagged in six battles in the past eleven years, winning two and losing four. Mccoy. on the other hand. has done more fighting and defeated more men in one years time than Corbett has done in his whole career. Now, if Corbett is in the business to fight lei him cover our forfeit and make 8 match which can be decided at Fort Erie If he is only blufing and does not care to fight, let him announce his retirement and not be seeking adver- tisement and notoriety. Let him b5 either a boxer or an actor. Mccoy now has matches on with three mer and expects to close for two more, al to be decided within the next ninety
