P. J. n announces that the combination here under his management. This causes the wounds that were made while the Burke and Dempsey combination were here to bleed afresh, and talent is divided over the prospect. Jac Hanley, Paddy Norton, Arthur Rothery, nd all of the loeal boxers are rendy jon the Sullivan combination in pr ing a rattling programme if t gi L hand in the entertainment. It is proposed to match Hanley against Le Blanche, and Norton rroll, which with McDonald matched nst the champion, would make an excellent programme that would draw well, Owing to local disturbances these men refuse to hay nything to do with the show, Fallon is allowed to manage it. What the outcome wiil be remaing to be determined. The com bination will appear here about January 15. Thev give an exhibition in hansas City on January 6. Considerable interest is being taken mn the coming mateh in Milweukee between Sullivan and Killen. The latter is one of the most promising pugilists in the coun try and anguine backers who are anxious to mateh him a contest for blood champion. Killen has been una- t o match out of Patsy € and has_ been shaking ¢ challenge under windy Dominick McCafirey's nose for a Jong “time but has not béen taken up. His admirers are of the opinion when he meets Sullivan in Milwauki there will be some fun. Sullivan course will want the best of the exhibi- tion and Killen cannot well afford to take the worst of it. The result will be, in all probability, that the men will get in earnest_and be stopped by the police. This will make necessary a fight to a finish which will give Killen'’s friends nee tosee of what kind of mat wade. he proposed match between Hanley and Dempsey may come off yet,” said local sport List night. tidtions are pending and if Parson Davies ean be pre- d upon to bring his man west of the Mississippi river he will find Hanley and all the moncy he wants to fight for ready.” Thereis a feeling among adepts in the manly art, and Hanley shares the seling, that Dempsey would be defested in a mateh with Hanley. Dempsey’s forte lies in his head work but he has no advantage over Hanley in this respeet. Hanley s as good a general as any of them. In every other respeet, in weight, endurance and ability to stahd punish: ment Hanley is Dempsey's superior and a mateh between them would be o close one, Coming—- Pointe in the local pug:- THE STAG ‘The Duties, RNUMEBLRARY, Salary and Habits of a eculiar Auimal, The dutics of supers in a play 15 to as- sume the unspeaking parts excepting striet pantomime.
