This announcement from Smith practically leaves Juarez | without a boxing attraction for next | Saturday, the date originally set for the heavyweight championship battle between Jack Johnson and Jess Wil- lard. Numerous cablegrams and letters have passed between Curley and | Buckley, in efforts to clinch the bout between Smith and Flynn.

Pat emigrated to America at a tender age and was ahout cighteen when he took to the profession in which so many Hiber- nidns have excelled. Sweeney's first important bouts were with Billy Gardiner, with whom he fought two draws in 1897. By knocking out Bob Armstrong In the second round, de- feating Billy Gardiner and boxing a d with Kid Lavigne, then light- weight champion, the young Trish- man broke into the limelight in 1898, Marty MeCiie, now a member of the New York legislature, and Kid Broad, | the Cornish lightweight, were among his victims in 1899.
