Nkw Yohk, July 80, 1893.-Wlllls
Kennedy, erstwhile known tin the "Now
Orleans terror," in bnuk in St. Louis.
He wits nt South Sldo tho other dny and
white theru ho had much to pity of
things pugilistic. "Yon Goddnrd licked
me," lie said, "but I had him running in
the first round and ho would have
stayed on tho ropes then had they not
pulled tho gong on mo. I am in hard
luck. I cannot got any offtheso would
lie tighten of my weight to meet mo
and I have to no after the big men llko
JackHon, Goddnrd ami Corbott. When
I offer to meet Godfrey, Choylnflhl and
men llko them they nek, 'Where Ih your
money?' and iih I huvo no money I am
left out. Thoro was a time when any of
tho profemilonnlH would meet a compara
tively unknown anil glvo him ttomo
money it ho stayed against them n
limited nunibef of rounds. Hut tho
prettont army of would-ho lighters are
not doing business in that way. They
want it side bet and they want It bad
when they want to got out of a fight
with n mint who Iiiih no money and who
stands a chance of licking them. I will
mcot Choylnski, Godfrey, Fltzslmmons
or any of them and all I auk la that It I
stny tho dlstanco I got n share of tho
gate money. If any ono of them can
lick mo 1 will take my medlcino and not
nuk a penny for my time." Kennedy
talks llko a man thut tnenns business.
Ho has certainly long bIiico proved IiIb
gamoncBB and if Choylnskl, Godfrey,
FltzBlmmonB, or any of tho boxers of
that class aro looking for a fight Ken
nedy stands ready to give any ono of
them tho best ho hus In tho shop.
From present indications tho Corbott
Mitchell fight will tnko place at Now
Orleans, tho munificent offers of tho
Coney Island and Chicago clubs to tho
contrary notwithstanding. Mitchell, It
is well known, does not favor Coney
Island, and Corbott is quoted as saying
to a Chicago fistic critic that ho doubts
if it would bo wiso tor him to hazard
tho chances of getting fair play at Roby.
Dick Rocho is in Chicago and is known
to bo close to Mitchell's cholco through
McAuliffo, and on Saturday ho inti
mated that Mitchell would never tight
at Coney Island. If that bo bo, tho mill
may yot take place at Now Orleans.
The Columbian club is not an absolute
fixture. It Ih built on sand, actually and
figuratively. Athletic clubs which owo
their lite either to a technicality in tho
law or a liberal construction of tho
statutes by thoso paid to be more strict
may bo a healthy corporation today and
tomorrow a memory. A great deal can
happen to tho Columbian club botween
now and December. Should it go by
tho board the famous pugB may turn to
New Orleans. It has been demonstra
ted that a fight can bo brought off there
and that absoluto fair play can bo
guaranteed. Mitchell knows this bb
well as anybody. And it might be
added so docs Corbett.
The match between Jimmy Carroll
and Jack McAuliffo will provo the
greatest lightweight battlo of modern
times and cause tho greatest interest to
be taken in tho event. When these
men mot beforo they fought forty-soven
rounds, at tho end ot which time tho
clever old man, Carroll, was knocked
out. Several porsqns who saw tho fight
say that the result of a fight between
the men would always be in question
until tho final blow is struck. It is a
question if tho good old man is not to
old, for it must be remembered that tho
night he entered tho ring to fight Billy
Myers ho looked old enough to bo taken
for tho Streator lad'a father. Curroll
was boxing while most of the lads who
aro about now wore learning tho trade,
und tho many hard battles ho has fought
will certainly havo their bad effect upon
him in any fight ho undertakes in
the future. McAuliffo is much younger,
though not any cleverer, and as far as
generalship goes, tho mon are nearly
equal, or, it they aro not I do not know
the difference. When Myer defeated
Jim it was thought tho letter's ring
career had ended, therefore, tho news
that he and the champion lightweight
were matched astonished overyono to a
great degree.
Jimmy Carroll la already doing light
preparatory work for his contest with
Jack McAuliffo, which will tako placo
in October next. On account of his
ago Carroll will require tho full timo
remaining in which togot into condition.
He has not yet decided upon his train
ing quarters, and for a while will re
main at Douglas Park, where his party
is comfortably located. Jimmy will
make the effort ot his lite to get into
perfect fettle, and believes that hi
has an excellent chance ot whippiug tho
ex-Willlamsburger. He says ho will
have no difficulty in getting to tho
weight required, and thinks ho has an
advantage over Jack on that point,
Lackio Thompson, tho 140 pound
champion ot Scotland: Jack Slavin,
Paddy Slavin's brother; Al O'Day,
amateur champion of Australia, and
Billy Dagllsh, TEoinpsons backer,
arrived in Now Vork on the Servia last
night. Slavin who acted as spokesman
for the party, said the, English people
MllDIi
would like to see Mitchell get "the
bleedin' ead knocked hoff 'lm, Boncher

It is amuBlng to read somo of tho
largo presa comments on matters per
taining to cycling and of which they
only express their lack of knowledge.
Their effect is to mako nervous riders
more nervous and misleads the public.
For instance, some great dally cuBUully
takes up tho hump back (racing) stylo
of riding imituted by so many ordinary
plug riders, and in a well worded man
ner "hits 'em on that hump," enumera
ting tho evils arising from that form of
riding, it being a great detircment to
tho system and so on ad-fina-tum.
Every lesser publication in the country
takes it as a duty (when short of copy)
to spread these theories which aro not
backed by experience. Everyone will
find for themselves their proper position
on tho wheel, whether low handles,
bigb saddle, or saddle far buck or
forward, despite all that may bo said or
done.
America' Champion llyfcer In Trouble,
Until tho arrivul of tho official state;
ment from tho N. O. U. of England to
tho L. A. W., relativo to the Zimmer
man case, tho racing men will bo quito
uneasy. Somo persons expect that tho
L. A. W. will bo compelled to suspend
Zimmerman when tho N. C. U. submit
their case, and if such action is taken it
will havo a big bearing on tho inter
national races. It is reported thut some
of tho charges to bo mado by tho N. O.
U. will bo that Zimmerman accept
money to complete at somo ot tho race
meetings abroad. Littlo credence, how
ever, is placed in this rumor, but it is
expected thut tho N. C. U. havo con
siderable evidence which, while it muy
provo only circumstantial, will be suffi
cient for tho L. A. W. to suspend tho
American champion.
Of Intereet to Wheelmen.
Tho racing men are particularly In
terested just now in tho L. A. Wt'a selec
tion of mon to represent tho Deniza
tion in tho international races,- It has
been asserted that tho records of tho
leading racers would bo taken into con
sideration, and as a result tho competi
tion has been very keon. George Smith
of tho Newark A. O. aspires to bo u
representative, and his record up to dato
surely entitles him to a great deal ot
consideration. Ho is ono of tho
youngest riders upon tho path, possesses
good speed and is recognized as ono ot
the fastest of quarter-mile cyclers. On
July 4, at the Hurrisburg meet, Smith
won tho quarter-milo open race, tho
half-mile handicap from scratch, and
tho one-mile open race, and finished
second in the three-mile open ovont,
being defeated tor first placo by Hoy
land Smith. He has won tho quarter
milo, two and three mile L. A. W. New
York state championships. At tho tourna
ment ot the Riverside wheelmen on July
8, Smith finished second to CM. Mur
phy in the hult-milo division champion
ship, Heconl llreakere.
Jealous ot tho record breaking which
prevailed at tho Bluo Ribbon meeting
at Dotroit lust week, tho wheelmen
decided tomako a few now records
in thoir spcculty and thoy certainly
carried out thoir intention. It was ut
tho annual international twonty-fivo
milo road ruco on Bollo isle and a crowd
ot 20.000 saw twenty-two men rido tho
distance faster than it has over been
ridden in a road race.
Chicago contributed a big batch ot
tho list, the atartera bailing from that
city being C. T. Knlsely, Emll Ulbrecht
V
and Fred Ncssel, scratch; G. K. Barrett,
2 minute; C. H. Peck, 2 minutes; H.
II. Wiley, 3K minutes; C. V. Docey,5
minutes; W. J. Miller, 5 minutes; C.
V. Anderson, G minutes; W. L. West, 0
minutes; C. A. Miller, 10 minutes. Tho
limit had been placed nt 15 minutes
with McDufllo, Vim Wagoner, Crooks,
Hcrrlck, Hurlburt, Llnneman nnd tho
Chicago riders mentioned on tho
scratch, and to Bay tho least tho handi
capping was very favorable to tho De
troit riders, as several of them had com
pleted their first lap beforo tho scratch
men started.
Tho first men went away at 3 o'clock,
nnd when the lust hud been given tho
word 183 had started, tho greatest field,
combining quantity nnd quality, in tho
history of road racing. It was seen on
tho start that the scratch men were too
heavily penalized, and after going about
it milo they began to loaf, never trying
to catch tho limit riders nnd not ono of
them getting u prize, although fifty
wore given. Tho tight for tho timo
prizo was between Frank Walker of
Indianapolis, nnd G. L. Gurry, tho Bos
ton man, nnd nt tho end of tho twentieth
mile Walker was seventeen seconds
ahead of Garry, but on tho Canadian
side of tho island Garry tumbled und
wnsoutotit, Walker winning first timo
prizo in 1:00:10 and making a big holo
in Ilulburt's record of 1:11:59 over tho
biiiiio course. James Clark, of Chelsea,
MasB., was tho record-time man, 1:00:18-2-5.
William Hyslnp, Toronto, third,
2:05:41. Bruco Wallace, Dotroit, from
14-nnnuto murk won first prizo und
Dftcey ninth, his timo being 1:08:11, nnd
his prizo a Parker gun. Wcstcott was
thirteenth, timo 1:02:44, und Peck thirty
sixth, 1:17:28. Although Walker's will
stand as tho record for the distance, it
will not bo ncccpted as a road record
owing to tho ruling against boulevard
and park records.
St. Loul CyclUtu Are Womted.
Tho St. Louis cyclists met their
Waterloo Saturday at tho hands of
Kansas City, at Sedalia Mo. It was
tho eight annual tournament ot tho
Missouri division of the Leoguo of

of 2:44 for ono milo broko tho record in
tho fourth event, covering a milo in 2:39.
Ho also broko tho record in tho seventh
ovpnt, making a milo in 2:29-4-5. Tho

Charles Kindervutter. of KanBaa City,
who mudo it in 14:52. F. A. Pagett, ot

Clinched the Fight.
The following cablo and telegram, re
ceived and sent ono day last week, ex

how utterly tho wise ones who prophecy
the suppression ot tho Columbian Ath
letic club at Roby aro at sea:

After receiving this cable O'Mulloy
sat down and uddrcseed tho following
ironic telegram to Judge Newton:
Chicago, 111., July 20. To Judge R.
V. B. Nowton. Mutchmuker Coney Is
land club, Coney Island, N. Y. On be
half ot tho Columbian club I tender
you the courtesies of our club for Cor-bett-Mitchell

At 10 o'clock last night Judgo New

sent tho following telegram to O'Mul
loy: New Yohk, July 20. Dominick C.
O'Mnlley, Chicago. Many thanks. Ro
servo mo best box for Corbott-Mitchcll
contest. R.V. B. Newton.
"Tho soreheads can go right on in
their yarns," Buid President O'Mulloy
yesterday, as ho waved tho cublegrum
from Mitchell over his head. "Wo havo
put up a forfeit ot 110,000 to insure tho
uninterrupted bringing off of tho Corbott-Mitchcll
contest and that docs not
tako placo till next December. In tho
meantimo wo will bring off ull tho
mutches wo now havo booked, nnd us
muny more of tho bettor sort us wo cun
book. If thoro is anybody who places
any reliance in tho bellowings of a fel
low who is trying to collect somo money
over our shoulders, ho cun win a wholo
lot of money if ho thinks that the
militia or any othor power on earth will
atop our conteajs. But tho public is by
this time convinced that tho Columbiun
is no haphazard venture. Tho mowings
ot tho soreheads does not bother mo ono
bit.
D
I TKO
a
The only Pure Cream of Tartar Powder. No Ammonia; Ko Alum,
Uaed in Millions of Homes 40 Years the Standa
Coming Route,
There is no fight on just now, half so
Interesting to my notion, as that bo
tween tho littlo saddlo colored Hollgon
inn, George Dixon, and Eddie Plorco.
It comes off just two weeks from Mon
day night, August 7, nt tho Coney Is
land's surfwiiBhed shore. Whllo there
is a vast deal of spallation going on
among tho oriental red hots, Dixon, us n
matter of course, is utmost a universal
favorite. Tho only grounds thoro is for
this, but thoy bo good ones, is tho long
list of easy victories over presumably
tho best men tho three continents could
produce, that Btunda to tho littlo Rem
brnndt champion's credit. In tho past
six yours Dixon has mado twenty-nlno
actual tights, returning tho winner in
each Instance biivo one, that with Cal
McCarthy at Boston in February, 1890,
which utter seventy rounds of lovely
milling terminated in u drnw, Why ho
didn't win hero has nover boon satisfac
torily explained. Tho only other rcul
try-out tho boy has hud wub with
Johnny Murphy beforo tho Gludstono
club at Providence in October of tho
sumo year, which Dixon won after forty
rounds. Ho came nearer losing this
tight than uny ho has over had, and
Murphy has always claimed that it wua
tho toughest kind ot tough luck thut
robbed him of victory.
Eddlo Picrco is ono of tho littlo ones
not to bo sneezed nt oven by champions,
und I look for him to mako Dixon ex
tend himself. Ho has but just emerged
from tho amateur realm, und Johnny
Griffin told mo in Chicugo u couplo ot
weeks ngo, thut Picrco is a high class
man, und thut if ho could meet Dlxou
at thrco pounds over the limit ot their
present agreement, bo would beat him
sure. Thoy fight ut 120 pounds, at
which notch Eddio has about already
arrived. Griffin, whose heart was
broken by u fiuko two weeks ngo, credi
ted to Solly Smith, hus always proven
to mo that ho knows what a good man
is, und I think, toduy ho is tho master
of Solly Smith by long odds, and tho
peer, if not tho superior, of Dixon. Ho
said that Picrco would fight as long as
ho could twitch a muscle, that ho was
extremely clover and as agilo as a
French dancing master on his props.
On such uuthority, ho must bo u worthy
antagonist for any of them. Still my
faith in tho Huligoninn is not yot bus
ceptiblo to any very deteriorating jar.
All four of tho principuls to tho con
tests at Roby on July 31 aro rapidly get
ting into form. Tho curtain-raiser to
the Smith-Corbett fight will undoubt
edly follow in tho line of all other
preliminaries put on at Roby, and will
bo a finish. Mayo and Baker are both
big men, and there will, in ull likeli
hood, be a decisive conclusion to tho
battlo inside of tho ten rounds to bo
fought. Young Corbott ia hard at
work at MorriB Campaign's pluco ut
Hammond, and is working under tho
supervision of Billy Deluney, Champion
Corbett's truiner and second. Tho
champion will tako occasional runs out
to Hammond from now on until tho dato
sot for tho contest, and a week from
Monduy night will step behind his
protege us principal second, with Do
laney and Professor Donaldson to assist
him. Paddy Smith, Corbctt'e prospec
tive opponent, 1b a brother ot Denver
Ed Smith, tho vanquisher ot Joe God
dard, and is at work ut Cedar Lake und
doing noby. Ho is ulreudy ncur tho
weight, und will havo littlo troublo got-

Peto Boyle is out in a challengo
directed to Tommy Whito In which ho
offers to find backing against tho west
ern champion of tho featherweight
division, for nny purt of 81,000. Ho
states that if Whito docs not caro to go

Smith Should Avoid Grltltn.
If Solly Smith's party is wIbo it will
keep him well away from Johnny Griffin
in tho future says tho Chicago Tribune.
Gumo and sturdy though smith is, his
victory over Griffin was moro a tluko
than La Blancho's defeat ot Juck Demp
soy, when a lucky "pivot" luid tho non
pareil unconscious on tho floor.
Ono can judgo to what soro straits
Smith was brought in his fight with
Griffin when ho resorted to a "pivot" in
tho third round, although It is expressly
barred under tho Columbian club rules.
It missed. Griffin less than an inch.
