 News.

,,, "' "o iiHS lOuoWefS expected, Tommy Ryan and Hugo indulged in what was termed fake six-round bout at Rochester on Monday night.
 They fought for 70 per cent of the gross receipts and no decision was rendered. Although the bout was ad- vertised as a battle for the middle weight championship and gulllble sports paid $5 each to see It. Ryan and Kelly simply boxed six fast rounds. They did not hit any hard blows and took matters so easily that the, crowd, which was a large one, howled in derision. Ryan and Kelly will now, in all probability, make q match for real fight for the title to De pulled off in Nevada or California for big. purse. Ryan said yesterday that he would agree to fight Joe Cans at welterweight, but conservative Judges of boxing will regard this of fer as bluff, for the reason that Ryan cannot get below 151 pounds and be strong.
 Jack Johnson, the cOlored heavy- weight, who recently knocked out Peter Felix in Australia, has just polished off another heavy named Lang in eight rounds. Johnson has been after q match with Bill Squires lately and there is d report in cir culation that they will be matched for d $1O,OOO purse before Sguires de- cides to sail for this country.
