RING GOSSIP
Revival of Fight Game in New
Orleans Is Welcomed by
Old Timers.
BY JAMES J. coRsETT.

The best news in the pusilistic world
for some time was the announcement
that fighting will be resumed in New
Orleans this winter For many years
the ring sport has been dead in the me-
tropolis of the far south. but under the
bouts, and. later. fifteen-round bouts,
will be permissible.
New Orleans at one time was one of
the greatest fighting centers in the
world When / was Just reaching the
zenith of my ring career. New Orleans
occupied a position in the padded mitt
sport second to none. 1t was the New
Orleans promoters that came to the
front with the largest purse offered for
my fight with John L. Sullivan for the
worlds heavyweight championship. 1t
was New Orleans that hung up the big
purse for the FitzsimmOns-Hall en-
counter and it was in New Orleans
that the longest fight ever held in this
country took place.
If I understand it right, the new club
is to be located right across the river
from New Orleans in a little town
town called Algiers How we'll I re-
member that spot, 1t was there that l
met with my manager for the final
conference before the fight with Sulli
van.
The new club ought to be a popular
one with the fighters and take it from
me if the authorities allow the scraps
to continue it will not be long before
New Orleans will be holding battles
equal in Importance to any pulled off
in America

Moran Will Remain.

Moran says he will remain in this
country for some time, and may send
over for his wife, who is at present in
England
Manager Harvey has arranged TO
have his man meet all the best boys
Of the east, and will be willing TO give
away weight to get the matches. To
show that he means business, he will
take on Joe Cans, Tommy Murphy,
Leach Cross and boys of that class, but
they will have to make 1873 pounds.
Moran weighs only 127 now.
A match was suggested to Mr.. Har-
vey between Moran and Packy McFar
land. and the little Briton's manager
said he would JUST as soon let his boy
meet Mcfarland at 1873 ringside as he
would meet Attell, as he feels certain
that Moran can hold his own with any
of the lightweights if they will make
ringside weight According to Moran,
the latest arrival from England, Jem
Driscoll, is quite well along in years,
being near the thirty mark, but he is
loud in his praise of Driscoll. Manager
Harvey says he intends TO remain east
for a time. but hopes TO get a match
with Attell before Jim CoffrOth's club
at San Francisco before the winter
ends.

than for some time. His defeat OF
Harry Lewis at Denver was a big sur
prise at the time, but showing later
indicated that he was boxing better
NIB l. baY.etv IN
Milwaukee. Moha has been boxing
only two years. but he is coming fast
and is as strong as a bull. His defeat
OF Jack DOugherty some time ago
shows that he has the goods to deliver.
Moha is fast and loves 20 mix with his
opponent. and his blows carry so much
steam that he is dangerous at all times.
He has had nineteen fights, ten of
which have been knockouts. II they
come together there will be lot Of
Milwaukee money on Moha. even if he
is going against champion.

Memories of Old Timers.


All the old school of fighters still talk
about New Orleans. Jack Dempsey,
now dead and gone, is still held by
many of the New Orleans fans dear to
memory. Jack appeared several times
Before clubs in the Louisiana city.
] never hear of or think of New Or
leans, but the picture of Bob Fitzsim-
mons comes to mind.
Back in the early 90s, Arthur Upham
was attracting a lot of attention in
New Orleans, and he was cleaning up
most of the good men in the middle
weight class. One day while at work
in one of the old athletic clubs in 'Fris-
co l received a telegram from New Or
leans asking me to recommend fight
er to go against Upham. I wired back
/ had a young Australian middleweight
who looked awful good when he got
his gloves and fighting toys on.
Just previous TO this time I had seen
for the first time Bob Fitzsimmons.
And what picture the Cornishman
was at that time, When he landed in
America he didn't have anything but a
reputation. and most of that was left
behind in Austria. He wore a pair of
trousers that came to his shoe tops
and his coat was the opposite to what
Bob wears these days. His headpiece
was the funniest thing in his makeup
He Wore cap about as big as fried
egg and it covered just about enough
of his head to bring out his freckIes
But II wasn't long before Bob proved
that there was nothing in looks

Wei. I shipped Bob to New Orleans
with all Of his Australian scenery on.
The roar that went up when Bob ar
rived could be heard as far as Frisco
The New Orleans promoters came pref
ty near calling the fight off when they
got a look a Fitz. But finally cit
was allowed to go on. and to this day
the old-time fight enthusiasts tell with
a great deal of pleasure what a sur
prise Fitz handed them. Upham went
down for the final count of ten in the
fifth round. and the fighting fraternity
forgot all about Bob'n makeup.
And il was in New Orleans that |
fought my siX-round battle with Jake
KilraiT Up until the end of the first
round of that fight I could hear the
fans express their sympathy for me.
But after the six rounds were over and
had won. I had made some of the
best friends ever had, and several of
the ones that saw me fight that night
risked their money later when I fought
sullivan for the championship of the
world.

Shenandoah, March 26.--People liv-
ing few miles north OF here, are
greatly mystified over the disappear
ance of George Law, a young man who
was recently married to Miss Grace
Jones, also resident of this CITY, Law
walked out of the house the second
day after the wedding, and has COM
pletely dropped out of sight. He is a
nephew of r. G. II. Porter, and had
rented Porter's farm for the coming
year. The newly welded couple were
apparently rs happy as could be, and
the two days of their honeymoon be-
fore the groom's disappearance, We're
passed at the Porter home.
About o'clock on the afternoon OF
Laws disappearance he stepped out
OF the house and went in the direc-
ton of the barn. That was the last
any member of the family has seen OF
him. Mrs. Law says that she and her
husband had been talking over their
plans for the year just before. and thai
that her husband was in the best oil
spirits and full of hope for the future.
Not a shadow or suspicion of trouble
was apparent. He took no money with
him and no clothing other than what
he was wearing, and not an incident
can be recalled to indicate that he
contemplated flight.
s,, i,,ty 10 MOI NJ
bers of the family did not realize the
seriousness of the situation. Ihey
made a search and inquiries of the
neighbors, the only clue obtained being
from a neighbor who said that he
thought he saw Law walking northwest
from the Porter farm. From inquiries
at the railway stations at Essex, lmo-
gene and Shenandoah it was found
that he did not board any train at
either place.
Mrs. Law hit upon the idea that pos
sibly her husband had gone on trip
to his old home in Harrison county
and suffering great distress of mind,
she made hurried trip there to make
an investigation. but the trip was
fruitless. Mr. Porter relates an Incl
dent occurring in the young mans life
and believes that Law has been foully
dealt with. He says that two years
ago, while making his home with the
Porters. the young man was assaulted
by an unknown person and that he was
horribly beaten. In that instance Law
had left the house and was not heard
from until evening, when he was found
wandering about in a dazed condition
and was never able to give an account
Of what happened.
