BOXING NOTES.

tation, Peter Muldoon, at Seattle next
Monday night.
Knockout Brown made great hit with
the Philadelphia fans by volunteering his
services for the firemens fund benefit In
the Quaker City and going through with
his agreement 1t appears that most of
the good Philadelphia artists hung out
for slice of the receipts.
Bangor News: Johnny Stewart is
working every day with but the one OBJ
ject in view: to show his many Bangor
friends and admirers that he is the
champion of Maine at his weight and
the great strides he has made in the
game since his last appearance in
Bangor ring.
1t is some time since New England
fans have had the pleasure of seeing
Lawrence Tommy Sullivan in action.
When he meets Joe Thomas at Manches
ter, N H., next week there will be a good
show for the sports of that city and
those from other cities who are wise
enough to take the rip.
Philadelphia Jack O'Brien has offered
Battling Nelson $4,000, with a privilege
of 40 per cent. of the receipts, to box
some opponent yet to be selected at his
new club. The offer includes boost of
Bats end to $4,000 if Bat wins by the
K o. route. Bat has practically ac-
copied.
Happy Davis, the newsboy champion,
continued his winning streak by out
pointing Mike Malone in a fast Ground
bout at the Douglass A. c., Philadelphia,
Tuesday night. Malone had the best of
the fighting in the first and second
rounds. The third round was even, but
in the fourth. fifth and sixth rounds it
was all Happy. In the last round Happy
had Mike doing Marathon.
Word comes from Kalloch's camp
that he will be in perfect condition.
Saturday night. that he will weigh in
at slightly under 14S pounds and that
anyone who gets into the ring with
him is in for first class beating-be
1t worlds champion even. Kalloch
is going to take no chances as to con-
dition and as he meets Tommy Bergin
in Augusta, Wednesday, Jan. is, will
naturally be feeling pretty fit when the
bell rings Saturday.
Bangor fight fans are looking forward
Put on in Maine for some time Saturday
night at the Gaiety, when Johnny Stew
art meets that hard-hitting fighter Obey
Kailoch. and Kid Fleming, the speed boy
from Old Town, runs up against some
real class in Kid Sanborn of Newport.
All four of these fighters have thrown
down the gauntlet in reality and each is
going to do some real fighting when he
steps into the ring, knowing full well
that he has got to extend himself to the
limit If he expects to be returned win
ner.
Abe Attel is up to his old tricks. At
Brooklyn Monday night he permitted
Joe Coster to outpoint him, and as
Frank Daniels used to say, He did it
so politely that the crowd was only
charmed" Abe pulled like platform
dentist at country fair. There was
good crowd present, and Abbey foxily
figured. as he always does. that there
is more money in two matches than in
one. How long will this looking glass
artist be permitted to con the dear old
public? He's champion beyond a
doubt. but it is given to few crowds to
see him let himself loose.
Mike (Twin) Sullivan. who met
Young Loughery in Buffalo, n. Y, last
week, is still in Buffalo, although he
has no Buffalo bout in sight. The
Twin asserts he has had offers to meet
both Willie Lewis in New York and
Jimmy Gardner in Boston, but has &C
cepted neither as yet. Later in the
spring" added Sullivan, Il expect to

Club. am negotiating for bout with
Harry Lewis in Paris a little later, or !
