Within forty-e1zht hours tho question of supremacy in_the three great divisions will ve decided. Each of tho six coutestants will Datio under oonditions favorablo to a prover snd fair adjudication of their contending claims, BPursos far in excess of any ever hung up are 1o be offered, Myer and MoAuliffe will meet on Monday night and the winner will take with bhim 20,000, U Tuesday George Dixon and Jack Skelly will meet and to the victor will come 817, n purse money and side wager. < Ou Wednesday night John L. Sullivan and Tames J. Corbett will engage in an encour 10 decide tho ownership of & purse of and sidostakes of §20,000; the largest sum of money “in tho clear” ever dependent on tho decision of a referee in & prize fight. "These three events will disposeof & the nggreeate to say nothing of the indo- pendent moneys which will bo placed on the resuit outsido, ‘The forecasts, preferences and opinions of the wise are therefore of some moment if not 6f absolute value for speculation. Six weeks ago a canvass by mail and in person was begun by the Chicago Inter Ocean. That paper has secured exvert opinion as to the probabla results of the three pusilistic contests at Now Orleans Septom- tember b, 6 and7, The following circular was sent to leading sports throughout the country : MY ER va MCAULIFT SULLIVAN vs. CORBETT, DIXON vs, SKELLY, Wil you fuvor us with nn expression of your prefer ‘s on the attached biank, returning sume per inclosed envelope, and greatly oblige, yours, ct suiaiie L0 shouTd win Tn the Dixon- Skelly contest in about, ......rounds, and the betting should be about 8. o 3... in favor of S ehould win i the Myer MeAuliffe contost'in ubout.... rounds, and the betting should bo about 8... 10 8... in favor of L Sould win I the Sulll- van-Corbett contost in about......rounas, and the beting should be#... to#,.. in favor of Here Aro the Expert Guesses, The replies received areinteresting, in that thev show the wide diversity of opinion as to the lightweight contest, while the battles be- tween the heavy and fentherweights carry with them a conviction that Sullivan and Dixox cannot lose, Answers haye been received from every prominent pugilist and fancier of pugilists in the country. The boxers to bo actively en- gaged have been canvassed nnd give either their own views or those of their backers and managcers in answer. Certain it is that second only to tho con- tests proper in point of interest will be the prognostications of thescors. They follow: Jack Barnitt—Sullivan, 10; MeAuhffe, 63 Dixon, 1. Duncan B.

Fitzsimmous says Sully will win, keeping in condition for all comers, Solly Smith of Los Angelos will challenge the winner of the Dixon and Skelly fight, Jack Smith of Chicaro, and Ed White of Lima, will meet at Marion, Iud., tonight. The fistic hangers issued by the difforent railroads are attractinz no little attention, George Dixon Is now at Biloxi, Miss., and has gone into serious trawing for his meeting with Skelly. Georo Strong of Donver was dofeated by Tony Easton of Loundon at the latter place last evening. Jonnny Van Hoest will not go to California, He expects to challenge the winner of the Dixon-Skelly fight. Ted Suilivau, the Chattanooga’s base bail manager, has placed a 8500 to $100 bet on his namesake to whip Corbet. Fred Johuson is back 1n England, but he expeets 1o return to wink at Liborty on Bedloe's island in the fall, A couple of hams called McCoy and Wal- ters will play with each other at South Omaba next Friday night. Of course it,is a fako. On the evening of tho 25th Jon Goddard will attempt to put out Billy Smith before the California Athletic club iu ten rounds, It is a big job. Lfforts have been made toarrange a match with Peter Maber, the Irish champion, and Jem Smith, but Tony Sage does not appear anxious to risk 32,000 on Manor, being afraid he would not train, The Pacific Athletic club will give a purse 00 for a contest between Joo Goddard Kilrain in October. The Aus- n has signified his willing- ness to fight Kilrain, There is quite a contingent of Amoricen boxers, backers and managers in London, ia- luding Charlos 1. Davies, Con Riordan, orge Strong of Denver, Colo., and Jim Campbell of Saa Francisco. Joe Choynski has been doing his bost to arrangea match with Jem Smith, who appears willing to fizht, but lLe refuses to fight in America, although the Coney Island ana the Olympic club would offer ten times larger purse for the boxers to fight for thun any club in London. Unless tho signs are at fault the Dobbs- McKenzie contest at the Caiifornia club on the 25th inst, will be a good battle. Theora los give the fight to McKenzie, but Dobbs just about claver enough and a sa ficiently hard-hitter to make boiting men hesitate about giving him long oads. Combination betting upon pugilistic events has ow become quite a fad. The New Or- leaus sports have booked Sullivan, McAulffo sad Dixon as sure victors in theit respective coutests with Corbett, Myer and Skelly, Corbett's colors aro being made in New York.

Fitzsimmons claims that | riteh- ard, Hall'and O’ Brien are afraid to meet bim or else they would nover have refused when tho Olympic club offered such a purse. Fitz. simmons suys he will fight the winner of the Pritchard and Hall fight for $,000 a side and @ purso of $15,000 iu the Olympic club, New Orleans, or arrange a match with both of them upon tho samo terms, 1o fight 10 Octo- ber or Novemver. Red-beaded Bob is as full of wind as ever, * The suffering American public are impatiently waiting for some good wan to happen along and knock his head of, Richard K. Fox, who is in London, in his last letter to the Police Gazette, writes: 1'ho three big battles to bo fought in the Olympic club in September are attracting consiverable interest, English sporting men are dividea on tho probable rosult of the Corbett and Sullivan fight, but McAuliffs is booked for the winner in his battle with Billy Myer, while Dixon's admirers think o will win. President Charles Noel of the Olympic Athlotic club of New Oricaus do- sorves great credit for the energy be has dis- played in securing the iroo fights. Years g0 Bogland was to the frout with pugiiism, but now America leads by milos, " Dowminick MeCaffrey's sneer that Jim Cor- bett has won all bis fights by “scratches, has ealled out this chaliengo trom “Pompa. dour Jem:” *It is funny that MecCaffrey did not scrateh out when he fougut little Juck Dompsoy. 1 notice McCaffrey savs ho is in better condition now than he'ever was bofore. Now, I will make this proposition to him bathor I win or lose the light with Sullivao, Ishall be ¢lad to go o the Man- hattan Atbletic club, where McCaffrey is boxing iustructor, and stop bim in four rounds iu the presence of Lis friends and pupils or I will give bim $1,000 1f ho will swand bofore me four rounds at the Madisou Squaro gardon, where 1 shall uppear on the eveniug of Septembor 12; or, if that is not satisfactory, I will give him 230 for every round he survives tiore. As McCaffroy bas ample time to prepare, this will effectually provo that my viclory over bim was not sorateh, as ho calls it." Juko IGilraio isa Sullivan man. To an in- mato friend who visited bim in Baltimore a fow days ago Juke gave his igeas about the fight. “I think Corbett is one ef the shifticst meo L ever saw,” said he, *'but he does not class with Johiu L.

The fact that ho did not offi- clute in any of ;the games played yesterday acted like a tonio on tho Reds, who are stiil smarting under the treatmont they réceived at his hands in Chicago. While tho boys were in_the Forest city President Muleahy of the Rochester club passed through en- route to Mount Clements and he aropped a few reminiscences by the wayside. One story was on the “‘boy soprano.” Mr. Mal- cahy is ono of those mortals who switched Horace Greoley’s advico. He was out in Sioux City aud camo’ east to grow up with tho country. Hurst At that time was an um- pire in the Western association. H “*He had mado a pretty rough doclsion,” said Mr. Mulcahy, “and every man in the team came running in' shouting ‘murder’, Frank Genios was with'me then acd play- ing orilliantly In the outfield. Hurst lookea angrily at the players, who were closing in ou bim from all sides. *Whose yer cantain?’ he growled. “Somebody avswered, Tim Brosnan.’ Tl talk to him then,’ declarod Hurst, ‘and the othor eight of yoz can consider yer- self dead !" “I wentout myself. and was ordered back after asking Mr. Hurst it I could please stay in the town and live over night.” The Rochoster muguato gave Captain Com- iskey several pomters on Eastern league fielders and he asserted that Quiet Joo Knight, who played in left for the Ieds in 1500 was slugging the ball as hard as any man in theleague. Knightis ono of Rochos- s favorites. Charles H. Cushman, who bogan the season as Milwaukee's manager, is umpiring in the eastern, The Octaber Benen show. The Omaha Kennel club is much elatoa over the prospects of their coming bonch show. Already they are in receipt of lotters from all points of this and tho surrouading states 1nquiring for premium lists ana other information. The one seutiment existing among dogey men Is that tho club bas at last made the move so long hoped for here. It wilt awaken a keen interost in the thorough- bred, aud be tho meavs, in the long run, of almost thoroughly extirpating tha mongrel. The show in question opens up on the 25th of October and will be continued through- out the week. It will bo governed by the rules of the American kennel club, which alono_guarantees a first- class exhibition. Tho officials of the local club are all working hard with the one aim, that of a big success in view, and the pros pectsare that they will even exceed their most confident hopes. Ono thing is certain, ana thatis that the citizons of Omaha in another six weeks will have an opportunity of viewlog and studying the various charac. teristics and ways of & groater varioty of fine dogs, including over fifty different breeds, than was ever affordod them bofors, Iu fact, tho object is to make tho bench us prominent and interesting as any that has evor beon beld fu the west—to at onco give Omaha a standing in kennel circles commen- surate with Cineinoatl, St. Louis and Chi- cago. which will bo a bonofit of incalculablo dimensions. What Gen Am nts To, Base ball history is rapialy made. One week ago today I took occasion to unload a little praise auo to Frank Genins, whoso work while “subbing” it at lome at sbort was of the pheomenul order. Tho second pter is not quite so lovely. On this trip anins bas boon dead on his feet, and in ad- dition to the boauteous bouquet of errors he has gathered 1, bits bave gilded by that George Smith would have smothered, and little flies have dropped safe that the' Ger- man would have reached. True, in that Cleveland pull-out Genins made one of the scorching hits that made tho rally lively, but Comiskey figures that 1f Smith had been in his position two defeats at least would navebeen reversed despite the juag- monts against tho Reds.—Ren Mulford, Mateh Team Shoot, Next Tuesday aftornoon on the grounds of the Bomis Park Gun club, across the river, a matoh shoot for tho birds, botween a team of five from the Bemis Park club aud a team fram the Ruymond club will take place.
