Jack Sullivan Matched.
Arthur Ryan and Jack McKenns
went down to Norfolk last Frldaj
morning to interview a local boxer re
gardlng a bout with Jack Sullivan, ol
this city. The boys were successful ir
their mission and signed articles for a
contest on October 20th. The Nor
folk News has the following to say re
garding the contest:
"After an entire day of discussion,
interested parties and promoters ol
"Kid” West, of Omaha, and Jack
(Twin) Sullivan, of O’Neill, complet
ed arrangements and signed up articles
for a boxing contest between these
two fighters. Each side puts up <200
as a side bet, which is forfeited should
either of the fighters fail to appear at
the ringside at 0 o'clock Thursday
night, October 20, the date set for the
battle. The gate receipts are to be
divided 60 per cent for the winner and
40 for the loser.
“Sullivan, who is said to weigh over
170 pounds, will forfeit his <200 deposit
unless he can lower his weight to 162
pounds or less Kid West, who now
weighs about 148 pounds, will probably
weigh about 140 pounds when he en
ters the ring.
"A feature of the evening’s contest
will be the appearance of George Ford,
Patsey Magner or James Dougherty,
who are to be asked to referee the
bout. According to the articles
signed by Kid West, his supporters
and the promoters of Jack Sullivan
have agreed to make the fight twenty
rounds. The ten round proposition
was not favorable to young Denney
and other supporters of West, who be
lieve the fight fans would rather wit
ness a battle of longer duration.
“Arthur Ryan and Jack McKinney
are Sullivan promoters and declared
that at least seventy-five fight fans
from O’Neill alone will come to Nor
folk to see the bout.
"Young Denney has declared he
will train West and should the Omaha
fighters so desire he will go him a five
round tight for blood to give him first
class training. West commenced his
training immediately after the articles
were signed up Friday afternoon by
using the sledge hammer on the con
crete crossings on Norfolk avenue.
“The skating rink has been secured
for the place to pull the boxing con
test oiT.” _______

assisted by Mr. and Mrs. Willard.
The drawing-room was elaborately
decorated in greenery and white lilies.
The receiving alcove was a solid bank
of palms and ferns, while the window

tities of the lilies. The library decor
ations were of maiden-hair ferns with
salvia to give the color. Frappe was
served in an attractive bower of
greenery from a table ladened with
red roses
The diningroom surpassed in beauty
the other rooms of the home, for the
soft pink and white of the blossoms
were most inviting. A large basket
of pink roses formed the center piece
of the table, while from the chandelier
sprays of aspargus ferns intertwined
with the roses fell in festoons. Pink
kiilarney roses with asparagus ferns
decorated the bullet.
Harry N. Davis’ string orchestra
hidden behind a screen of ferns and
palms in the hall played selections
during the evening. Profusions of
asparagus, maiden-hair ferns and
palms were used everywhere about
the house. The decorations were by
Mackie; Rebboli catered.
The bride’s gift to her attendants
were topaz and pearl pendants, and
