 Before left the coast" said Billy Delaney, 'I was informed of the Shar- key-Munroe match It will. show just
 what kind of fellow Munroe Is. He may or may not surprise us in hIs showing with Sharkey. If he makes good with Tom and proves to the pub lie that he is worthy of a match with JeHr1es, he Wons have much trouble ill being accommodated. Jeffries is the champion, and he has always been pre- pared to defend his title against all corners. He has wiped out all of the ambitious aspirants, and if Munroe beats Sharkey We will go the limit with him. I will be at the ringside the night of the fight to see the result" Nor is the chance confined to Jack and Tom, according to Billy. If any other man," he continued, "should come along and show that he has even a pretty fair right for tilt for the championship he will be accommo- dated, but as matters stand now the only men that have any right to cross arms with Jeff are Msinroe and Shar- key. The winner of their bout will be signed at once by me if he cares to stack up against the boilermaker." De laney says positively that he will not match the champion against colored boxer. 1t had been reported that he intended to try and induce Jeffries. to take on Jack Johnson, but this report is away out of line, Delaney, says.

 One of the seconds said that the fight was of a whirlwind order Walsh had the better of it from the very start, | but Quigley showed great gameness and only received the count after he had been sent to the floor four times. l In the thirteenth round, after the two l boys had mixed it up at furious clip, | Walsh put terrific right to the sjaw4 2 and crossed with his left to the heart, l putting Quigley out.

 They think in San Francisco that Young Corhett will have an easy thing with Dave Sullivan. The champion certainly does outclass the little Irish man. Sullivan cannot hit He is 1 clever and game, but he lacks punish ing power. No fighter without the J punch can hope for success against I Corbett. Most wagers that wille bel laid will be on. the number of rounds that Sullivan will stay. This may prove stumbling block, for little : ave is likely to be there at the end of the twentieth round. Unless Cor bett catches him right on some vital spot the Irishman will keep coming. He showed that i'll his battle with Nc Govern at Louisville and he showed it in his battle with Dixon when his brother Spike" jumped into the ring and lost the verdict for him. Dave is very clever. in fact, even more so than the champion himself In Louisville he had McGovern staggering all over the ring in that sixth round and many people thought he was winning. But after that one single round Terry had matters his own way. Yet fora man who can't hit, Sullivan did pretty we'll in the 1sot1nd referred tp At fhat hp was up on his feet as Fftzsimmons the last second.
