OMAHA A NECCA FOR DEAD GAMES NOW tiana Now In the Ball Many Losser City—Yestorday's Games — Gossip of and Ring. ghts of ¥ Races and enok New Yonk, July 28 —Captain Williams, manager of the Olympic club of New Or- 1oans,says that ho is not eager to seouro somo one to fight Bob Fitzsimmons just for tho sako of tho ciub mukicg money, but to keep faith with the sporting public. Ho says Charles Noel, prosident of the club, decided 10 have threo champion fights on September 5, 6and 7, and be is oagor to keep nis word. Whilo the captain was talking on the sub- joct & cabl s dispatch was recoived, It read as follows : 2 “George Baird, better known as Squire Abingdon, who is backing Ted Pritchard, re- fuses to allow him to 2o to Americs to de- cido his contest with Jim Hall." This settied the Pritchard-Hall deal, and the captain then telegraphed the backer of Georgo Dixon offering purse of $7,500 for a fight between Dixon and Jack Skelly 1 its club on September 6, PRATT F TH PUGS, At the Hand Ball Court Tonight. The Miko Boden-Paddy Brennan contost comes off at Ki'gallow’s hand bail court this evoning promptly at 9:15, and a_ ratthug ex- hibition will doubtless bo the result. Boden, Jhe old trial hoss, bas beat such mon as Jack Burgess, Pete McCoy, Jack Laughlin, Bob Coffroy, John McVey. Biily tiabig, Lem Mo- iregor and dozens of othor hurd ones, and is capable of making a lively mili with any of the heavyweights, He is one of the few fighters who guurds with his loft and ex- tends his right. Brennan has an equally £ood record, aud there will bo lots of smoka when the two collide. Tho Gatherlng of the Clans, W. H. Givbson of Rock Islana, IIL, and the backer of Tommy Ryan in his contest with ack Wilks Saturday, together with a num- ber of friends, arrived here yesterday. Ho nad & long taik with his protege at Bandle's in the ufternoun, and while he cxprossed himself as well pleared with bis condition and prospects, his exhaustive expitiation on the Ilabulities of too much training, seconded, tosay tho least ambiguous. Ho had Kyan consult a physician as to the condition of his tonsils, and at once put him on u new diet for his stomach. The truth is, tiyan is not just what be ought to be. The’ severe curri- culum his traiver has put bim through and the recent torrid wonther combined 1n vro- ducing a feeling of languor that may militate against his work. He says, however, that he never felt botter in his life, Tuck Wilkes and his trainor, Jack Davis, got in from Sioux City last night, and aro quartered at South Oimaha. The St. Louis boy Is fino us silk, down to weight, but as strong us u youg dralt horse. He says, in all bis experience, ho never felt in such per- fect condition as hie does now, and that he expects to make tho battle of 'his life tomor- row night. There are great things in storo for Tuck 1f ho wins, for ho will bo elevated at once to ihe realm of stars, and can fill bis date book to the last paxe without turning a baud. If Ryan wins the probaoviiities are that he will figure in onc of the bir Septom- ber dates at New Orleans, with Australian Dickson, who whipped Danny Needham Tuesday night, as his opponent. Alwnys After the Winner. Artio Flint, tho one vime weli known St. Louls iight weight, is In the city, and while he he has left.no guarantee of good faith, ho adops this means of challenging the winner of the Ryan-Wilkes contest Saturaay night for the best purse any club will offer for the event. Artie bad probably better challenge the loser aud fight him immediately after o gots through witn bis Saturday night's job, The Money All Up. The backers of Ryan and Wilks met at Tue Bee oftico last evening and made their final deposit of the $2,000 stake with the sporting _editor. ‘I'nis, together with tho $1,500 purse, will be turned over to the roleree at the ringside Saturday night.
