as made. provided the usual fight over

be settled without much delay.
If Jimmy can make the weight and

Boxing for Chicago.

There is a little consolation for Chi
cago sports. after their many bumps in
the recent past. in the fact that there
is a pretty fair chance that boxing will
be allowed in Chicago this winter.
Mayor Dunno has gone so far as to
make the welcome declaration that he
sees no harm in "sparring matches,
properly conducted" That sounds most
pIeasingly to the fistic promoters. and
their chief endeavor during the next
few weeks will be TO assure his honor
that such contests are positively the
only kind that will occur. II he will
only allow them TO run. Accompanied
with these assertions will be the vigor-
Gus working of several healthy politi-
cal pulls. always a potent factor in such
undertakings.
AS inter of fact, the six-round con-
tests that have been permitted in Chi
cago in the past are about as harmless
as any athletic exhibition that can be
mentioned. Not one in a dozen ter
inmate in a knockout, the main object
of the participants being TO win on
points. There is no reason why Mayor
Dunno should not stick to his views and
give the boys a chance 10 do a little
business this winter

announced that there was nothing fur

one OF the things of the season Just
closing which is TO be regretted is that
Sysonby and Artful did not meet. 1t
was hoped up TO the last that these two
great horses would fight II out and IL
looked for while that they would get
together. Messrs. Keene and Whitney
were willing. and their trainers were
ready. but at the last IL was found that
Sysonoy had fallen victim to an irritat-
ing skin disease which precluded the
greatest horse of many seasons from
again facing the starter this season.
and 1t was all off. Sysonby is now out

of the big handicaps for which he is
ehgible. late next spring. He has well
earned his oats for the winter.
