Young Corbett and Kid Sullivan Will Meet To. Night--John [. Booming His Man.

Baltimore, March 31.-The interest being manifested in the battle between Young Corbett of Denver and Kid Sul- livan of Washington, scheduled for to- night before the Eureka Athletic and Social club at the Fourth Regiment armOry, is evidenced by the number of challenges that have been received from all the prominent featherweights and boys near that weight throughout the country. The secretary of the club has been fairly delused with letters containing requests for a bout with the winner of the set-to tonight.
 The names of the challengers include some mighty prominent boys. Eddie Hanlon, the clever Pacific Coast boy, who gave Sullivan such royal battle in this city last season, is hot foot after the winner of the contest, and to make his claims all the more forcible he has determined to come over and present them in person at the ring side. Harry Lewis,' the clever Philadelphian, with whom "Sully" went six rounds recently in Philadelphia, has also asked for a bout, and he will also probably be at the ring side to hand out his spiel.
 Aurelia Herrera, the clever Mexican, is on hand with. a red-hot manifesto showing why he should get bout with the winner Others that think they should be selected and have said so through the mails are Tim Callahan of Philadelphia, Tommy Daly, the local boxer; Kid Herman of Chicago, Benny Yanger, Young Erne. whom Corbett will meet Monday night If he wins over Sullivan; Charley Weary of, Mil waukee and Maurice Thompson of Butte, Mont Thompson fought for the first time in the east last week in Phil adelphia and his performance stamped him as coming good One

BIG FELLOW TALKING.

John l.. Sullivan is still after Cham pion Jim Jeffries. In letter Sullivan prOpounds the following questions: 1. Does Jeffries intend to fight again? ?. Does he expect to select his c0mpeti- tors? 3. Will he box me ten rounds? 4. If he says that am too old, is Jim. Mccormick too young? 5. Why does he refuse to meet all corners? G. Is his health all. gone so he can't fight? :. Will he box me ten rounds for $2,- 800 side? 8. Why doesn't he meet all corners, as I did when I was cham pion?
 To this Sullivan adds:
 e'R -Jeffries wants to live ,on notAYi- ety, and by this alone, why. he better box President Roosevelt and then go back to the boiler shop, for hate to see man who lays claim to the cham- piOnship refuse to meet all corners. I'll bet him $1,OC0 that he can't put Jim Mccormick away in six rounds. and you know I used to offer S1,OOO to any man that would stand up before me for four rounds"
 Sullivan inclOses Jim McCormicKs record, which shows the Texan to have taken part in twenty-four fights of which he won twenty, lost two on fouls and fought two -draws. He claims to have beaten Jack Johnson twice, knocking out the black giant in seven rounds each time.
