Rob Roy Mackey, .the man of many
words" has at last signed another
agreement to throw Harvey Tyrreh
twice in an hour or lose the match.
Tyrren wanted about everything in sight
when 1t came to drawing up the arti-
cles, but Mackey was anxious 10 get the
match and agreed to nearly all the de-
mands. One clause in the articles stipu-
lates that II Tyrrell should throw
Mackey once in the course OF the hour,
that Mackey will then agree 70 throw
his opponent three times In the sixty
minutes. This is big contract, when IT
is remembered that Tyrreu is not SO
many pounds lighter than MacAey, and
has shown that he is a wrestler OF coz
siderable ability Mackey promptly
made good by putting up his forfeit with
H'he Times, and all that remains is for
Tyrrell to come to the front with lhe

Harry Mace has advanced PROPOSE
ton to take Danny Lewis, who stopped
Kid Lackey IN six rounds at the ROCK
Spring Club on New Year Day, TO Sa-
vannah, where the boxing game is run
ming quietly but smoothly. Lewis is
thinking over the proposition, but 1t
would hardly be wise for him to accept
until he has acquired more knowledge
OF the finer points of boxing. He Is
strong and willing enough and would
not meet topnotchers in the Southern
town. but his awkward methods mlgnt
get him into all sorts of trouble If he
went against a couple of men with q
good punch.
The Washington times., 1905-01-12

Kid Sullivan is to fight Joe Tipman in
weights.
Why this match was made is some
what of a mystery. Sullivan has beaten
Tipman and has nothing to gain in the
way of prestige by doing 1t again. while
II by any chance Tipman should win 1t
would jar the Washington boys reputa-
ton to have chalked against him a de-
feat by a man who has lost twice to
Tommy DAILY, and has been whipped by
Tommy Feltz and several other fairly
good men
Tipman claims that w1en he went
down before Sullivan in their former
battle he was out of condition. and he
has been bowling for a match ever since
He also claimed that he WIS required to
get down too low IN weight and that
the reducing weakened him. Now he
has match at catch weights, and If he
does not make good this time 1t would
be well for MIN TO keep his promise TO
stay out of the ring and try to make a
living at something else. Sullivan should
weigh about 1874 pounds. but can get
down to 132 without trouble. Tipman
has long since dropped the bluff of cali
ing himself a featherweight. and is not
even lightweight now. He is IN the
welter division, and viii probably reach
I3e pounds when he enters the ring
