Mill with Sullivan.
Special to The Washington Herald.
Baltimore. Nd, Oct 23.-AccOmpanied
by his manager. Johnny Mack, and the
well-known heavyweight, Sailor Burke,
Matty Baldwin. the Boston boxer, arrived
in town yesterday for his hfteen-round
battle before the members Of the Eureka
Athletic Club next Tuesday night at the
Germania Maennerchor Hall
Baldwin looked IN the pink of condition.
and viii wind up his training for the mill
here. Baldwin has been keeping himself
on edge for the mill up North. and de
clares he is in the best condition Of his
career. A look at the little Boston boxer
will substantiate his statement. Baldwin
says he is already down to the required
weight. which calls the men 10 weigh in
at lS0 pounds al o'clock the night Of the
mill.
In his training here Baldwin Will have
the valuable assistance of Sailor Burke,
who is one of the best-knOwn heavy
weights in America. Burke recently
fought Jack Johnson. the coIored heavy
weight champion, a hard battle, and is
the only man that ever was credited with
knocking out Joe Grim. the human punch
ing bag This is a trick that Bob Fitsim-
mons. Jack O'Brien. and other famous
big men failed to turn. II is more than
likely that Burke will appear in this city
in the near future with some good man.
Manager HeTford has several formidable
opponents in mind for him. If Burke is
matched with some big man. this will be
the first heavy match arranged here for a
long while

it is deemed necessary to enact in view
of the enormously increased traffic, espe-
cially on business streets. A stoppage Of
fifteen minutes only. within the space of
