! was thinking or the purses given
today and what they fought for rs
years ago when John l.. Sullivan
fought Paddy Ryan. They fought for
$4,000 aside, although there was $780,
900 bet ON the outside. James keenan,
was Sullivan's backer and r. K. Fox
was Ryan's, and in those days we
thought that was big amount Of
money to fight for, but just look at the
gate receipts they command now-a-
days and the purses that are given.
Gate Receipts.
The biggest gate old San Francisco
saw was that Of Jeffries and Corbett
The next biggest money maker was
Nelson and Britt, $4,000. Young Cor
bett and Jimmy Britt, $4,000; Jeffries
and Fftzsimmons, $1,000; Jeffries and
Ruin, $4,000; Jeffries and poor Jack
Monroe, $4,000; young Corbett and
Terry McGovern, $4,000; Cans and
Nelson. $4,000; Cans and Herman,
$4,000; well. the biggest gate I think
will be Nelson and Cans, but Nelson
will never agree to meet Cans again,
unless the negro agrees to lease the
bulk Of his fighting strength outside
the ring.
CIow-Hinds Mill.
John P. Glow, the greatest 165 pound
man In his day, fought Harry Kinds
for the championship Of Colorado and
Wyoming, and the South, for a purse
Of 5000, but there was at least $4,000
bet on the outside. Glow had got in
some trouble in Denver; left there
going to Fort Worth, Texas. The
chief Of policies name was Brady and
being quite a sport had lost $4,000
backing Colorado pugilists against
Kinds whose home was Cheyenne,
Wyo. Some one told him Glow could
whip Kinds, so he sent for me and
said, Hayes can Glow whip Kinds? 2"
1 said, "Sure;" we'll now said the chief
If he can come back to Denver and
there will be nothing done to him; you
know where he is write to him." I
did, telling him what Brady had said
and he, answered right away saying,
Make the match and you train me
Is a God" He came, I trained him;
they fought at Rawlins, Wyo., on a.
Sunday afternoon. They fought six
teen ROUNDS Win TWO ounce gloves,
and Glow beat him.
After the Battle.
There was no way of telegraphing
so the news could not be sent ahead Of
the special train. We had the Chey-
enne sports. they were so sure that
Kinds would whip Glow that they had
a coach with four horses attached to
it and a band at the depot, at Chey-
enne, Kinds home, to meet him. But
when we got to Cheyenne they put
Glow in the coach with the band,
ahead, and marched up to the hotel;
they left Kinds off at a railroad cross
ing near the baggage car where Kinds
lay on a cot a very badly beaten up
man; going up to Kinds he put a
hundred dollar bill in his hand, say
ing, Harry 1 am sorry I beat you up
so bad, but had to do it, az I wanted
to see my father and mother. Chief
Brady won back what he lost and
kept his promise, and Glow lived in
Denver until we both came to Duluth,
| In 1886. and made this our home.

AMERICANS AGAINST BRITONS

AMERICANS AGAINST BRITONS.
O'Brien has been offered a match
with Gunner Mbir, the same to take
place in London in the autumn in con-
nection with Billy Nolans grand in
ternational passage at arms in which
American pugilists will be pitted
against Britons.
Up to date Nolan has been quite
tactful in making his arrangements
for the big tourney across the pond,
being fearful that if too much were
said about his plans some unkind per-
son might remark, mo wonder they
are avoiding Cans
The scheme, as far as can be learn
ed, is as follows: A rich Englishman
with sporting instincts is behind Nolan
and the Marquis of Queensberry con-
tests will be held at Olympia the Madi-
son Square Garden of London, in Aug
ust next. Nolan, who came across from
England to sign up men for the tour
ney, told such as he places himself in
touch with, that he wanted four cham
pionship events. After canvassing the
situation he decided upon the follow
ing programmed: Jimmy Walsh VS..
Digger Stanley Abe Attel VS.. Joe Bow
ker, Battling Nelson VS.. Johnny Sum-
mers, and Sam Langford VS.. Gunner
NOR,
After thinking matters over Nolan
decided he could improve upon the
heavyweight card and invited O'Brien
to take the place of Langford. O'Brien
rather likes the idea and will be among
the Nolan voyagers probably when the
American Queensberry specialists set
out for England in July

MEET WOULD GET SUPPORT

NEW YORK. July 13.-If a race
meeting is given at the Empire City
track during August and 1t appears
very probable at the present time that
James Butler and his associates will
go ahead with preparations for their
first session, many of tho horsemen
who had intended shipping to Sara
toga will change their plans and
remain here, taking part in the Yon-
kers races in preference to mourning the
expense of the longer journey with
only fair chance OF winning any
thing after they get there.
So many horses arc in training now
adays that only small proportion can
earn brackets. It takes q fairly smart
performer to get away with even a
selling race on the metropolitan cir
cult, but with the better runners en-
gagged at Saratoga, owners of moderate
strings would be enabled TO pick UP
purses at the less classy track. For
that reason, If for no other, the clash
would have good results.
Another Feature OF Yonkcrs Meeting.
There is another feature, however,
that will make the Yonkcrs meeting,
