WHERE IS NOLAN?

nearly every city in Connecticut in search of Nolan, the prize fighter, whom the state papers refer to as the Bridgeport prize fighter. Nolan never lived here. He visited this city be- fore the fight at New Britain in which he killed his opponent. He asked Ike Williams to handle him but the latter declined owing to a press of other inn portant business. Nolan is still in hiding
 It is not unusual for Nolan to claim Bridgeport as his home. Many star pugilists have done the same thing. Among them being Ed McG1inchey, Pete Mccoy, Mike Gillespie, Tommy Ryan and Ike Williams, all leaders in their class. At different times it was the trysting place of John L. Sullivan, Jimmy Carroll, "F'iddler'' Neary, La Blanche, thel Marine, Jack Dempsey, and others. Frank Moran, SuI1ivan's packer, formerly kept 8 saloon in Wall street, which was the rendezvous for most of the big sports of the country.
