JACK SULLIVAN TO FIGHT.
O'Neill Pugiist Will Meet Wick In
Omaha Jan. rs.

Omaha Jan. %.
Omaha, Jan. l.-Articles have been
signed and forfeit money posted for
boxing exhibition between Billy Uvick,
the South Omaha middleweight, and
Montana Jack Sullivan of Butte, Mont,
for Jan. %. 1t has not been decided
where the exhibition will be staged.
The Lyric Theatre or Washington hall
will be chosen. The only objection to
the Lyric theater is the limited seat
ing capacity.
Both the principals are of high-class
caliber, and the fstic fans probably
will get a treat when these two come
together. Uvick is well known in
Omaha, and is considered one of the
best middleweights in this section. He
recently returned from the east,
where he fought five battles, winning
four and being defeated in the fifth
when his left hand gave out.
About a year ago Jack Sullivan gave
Sailor Burke one of the worst beat
ings he ever had. Burke recently had
trouble whipping Uvick. Uvick will
have great chance to get the best of
the decision here, as he will be fight
ing among friends.
Montana Jack Sullivan is known all
| over the country, and is favorite on
both the Pacific and the Atlantic
coasts.
