Cood Chance for the Humane Off

Work.
HAS BEEAS STILL TALKING.
Old Timers Declare Their Intention to
Meet 10 the Roped Arena 10 the
Near Future.

Those two old "has-heens," John l.
sullivan and Charley Mitchell, are still
TALKING light and ask a patient public to
listen 10 their gabfest II ever n match
has been rdiculed by the sporting public
and scored at by the wise ones this one
has Both OF the men have been out Of
the rln. so long that pugilistically speak
iae they are dead and buried and moth.
irg short Of a miracle will resurrect them.
4. the day Of miracles is long past these
two 1ll.tImors should bo contetn 10 rest
l p.aD. and tell " their wonderful deeds
IN Inc ring Years ago without striving to
make WuuKeys Of themselves by engaging
IN d so.c3lied boxing contest
The match was set for Sept ~, and
Tacoma picked out as the town IN
vi.gU no pun OF the farce II the author

Within jncu city they are deserving Ot

nra Is uu telling what tho outcome may

OF Nh. other faced q charge Of mal-
sgugnter after the light was over
I've. Co the most casual observer the
fact thj John l.. sullivan has subjected

ngc0us abuses must be- apparent Even
whom I'M his prime me- relied entirely upon
E.. brute strength to win his fights, as

Tor them II Is safe to say that against
inl hoyors of today John J.. sullivan
would have been a plaything, even whom
b. was 40 his bcst simply because he
could not hit the tighter OF today; ana
the idea of his rc-ent'r'us the ring at the
present time r. ridiculous.
sullivan is at present In Tacoma and
IS making q great talk to the effect that
lUrh.U IS afraid of him BE that as II
ngy. 10 is hard 10 understand how Char.
ey Mitchell ever cume TO enter into such
Oh agreement, as he Is one of tho best
rducatel men who over stopped into a
rng and at the Same time one OF tho
voalthIu,t According 70 conservative cs-
Inmates Mitchell must bc worth an of
TH0n aud has n well invested The only
films that could possibly have forced him
mtu the match was that the fact that

uI Doe now seos a chance to even up an
Nd score Mitchell has taken much better
can. of himself than his prospective op
60aut and thinks FOR that reason he will
.0w Dc able TO- beat he old conQucror
Therefore M.tchelrs sole object I'm enter
rp into such % contest would simply be
'or revenge while poor old John l.. V
'Woi into N for what money he can
make. us ho needs IL badly
