BOXERS The of the Hall and Slavin Battle, Story OMAHA'S SUMMER RACE MEETINGS The Pedestrlaan Chase—Whisperings of the Whoel—Base Ball Melango—A Six-Mile Run and Miscel- lancous Sports. Tt looks as 1f Charlic Mitchell knew what he was about, after all, when he matched Jim Hall for a finish fight against Frank Slavin, It took Fitzsimmon’s victim not quite seven rounds to knock out his big countryman, and there you are. The battle was remarkable for but one thing, and that is the fact that Hall whipped his man with about the same ease he would sit down in some shady nook and sip an absinthe anni- sette. Slavin made no manner of a fight, but stumbled through the seven rounas like jomnambulist or a drunken man, and Hall took his own good time into punching him into the Jand of nod. It looks very much as if the lordly sports had been rounded and turned down in the true American fashion. While it has been konown all along by judges of the animal that Blavin is far from a first class man, it was oonsidered the very acme of fool- hardiness, when it was first talked about, to pit such a lightweight heavyweight as Hall against a ‘man of his formidable proportions and well known power, But Charlie Mitchell, and Jim Hall, too, have spent, altogether, several years in Ameri This is speaking unutterable things in their favor, They have trotted and bhobbed- pobbed with the flyest people on earth, and have not only had their eye-teeth cut, but had them plugged with gold by the absolutely-without-pain process, until, when it comes to arranging a neat job, we must count them one of us. See! Of course it wasu't hard to get a man of Blavin's character en regle, but as the lattor wus cousidered vastly tho superior man there had to be some cause for a fight. Trust foxy Mitch for that. All parties coucerned met ina public house on the Strand one afternoon, wine was plentiful and cheap, a controversy arose over the capabilities of certain men, until in an unguarded moment tho Visuvius-blooded Hall swipes Frank Patricus 1n the face with the back of Lis hand, It required the combined efforts of the whole party to keep the men apart. “Ican do you with a punch!” vehemently serted Slavin in hus impotent wrath, “‘You can't dowe ina lifetime,” retorted Hall, SWill you fight me?” criea Slavin, Yes, and lick you, too.” replied lali. And the next day’ Miteholl arranged the Bght. furnishing the backing for Jim him- self, but asserting that it could not be ex- cted of him to lay any more on the side. is man was persistent—he would make the woney good—aud he, Charlie, thought he bad at least a 1 to 6 chance. Then the sluggish English sporting writ- ters take up the cudgel and do the rest. Hall was hot-headed and impetuous and the fight would have but one result. He was clearly outclassed. Even middleweight Fitzsimmons done him without turning a hair. His vi tory over ‘Ted Pritchard was no’ criterion. ‘That was a fluke, but it had developed symp- toms of paresis in the gallus antepodian. Hence the odds were anywhere from 4 to § to1. At these rates on ihe day of the fight hundreds of pounds were staked, Who were e takers! Hall won in & jog. If Slavin bad given Jim a hard fight, what ) flood of gossip ancut the late Hall-Fitziw- mons fight would have ere this been launched upon the sporting world. 1t would have been absolute proof with many that this was a fuke pure and simple, and in my opinion there would be much justification in such a belief. But Slavin made no fight at all, It was a Christias present for Jim, and don’t you ever think that Fitz did not lick him on the level in their fight. But that memorable battle, however re- cent, is worthy of brief recall just now. Everything is excitement and expectancy in the Crescent’s colc 1 arena. Hall and his attendants have just entered the ring. Truly, they make a formidable party. Jim himself, tall and muscular, not unlike one of the olden Grecian gladiators ; Charlie Mitch- ell, the champion of England; Jack Mec- Auliffe, the matchless lightweight; John Kline, 'the king of trainers, and Squire Abingdon, the late sporty Craesus. Mitchell looked ve swell with his light striped trousers, cerulean outing shirt, black sash and buff gaiters. McAuliffe was stripped to his silk undershirt, with his trousers well rolled up on his ankles. The squire wore a thin silk undershirt, very low in the neck, gray trousers and twan leather slippers. Kline looked sober but rugged in his shirt sleeves, Hau appeared a_trifle concerned and nery- ously tapped the cork floor with the toes of his tighting shoc He swmiled when Iitz- simmons, wrapped in a gray bath-blanket, like a strutting Sioux chief, and waving the American flag, came glibly into the ring a moment later. The crowd checred uproar- ously. There wero no celebrites with Fitz, His brother Billy, who is more at home ‘n the corn field than' anywhero else; Frank Bosworth his trainer and Martin Julian, an inferior lot in _such_a situation, sure, consti- retinue. Fitz seemed like a boy at he bowed and halloed and scraped his feet at his friends in the press-pews and boxes, and threw kisses at acquaintances further back in the resarve chairs, All this scemed to amuso Mitchell inordinately, for e threw buack his handsome head ‘and laughed hear but Hall wasn't in an humor to participate in this levity, He looked sober and anxious, Therefereo mado his little talk, and the work of putting on the mits begun. Mitehell was slow at his task and suddenly ho was interrupted by Fitzsimmons who cried across the ring at tho top of s voi “Hey there, Charlie, don't you put a cbunk of lead in_those gloves, this is on the level, you know:" then he turned and began kidding his brother. “Clang” goes the gong and thoe rivals face eachother, The tableau is of fleeting dura- tion, for ina second Fitz scores lightly on Hall'r faco and follows thisup with a re- sounding smash in the stomach, He is ma mg affaivs decidedly warm, when Hall clinches, glving Robert a horrible smash in the pitof the bellows as he closes. After tho break Fitz lands againon Jim's rosy ribs, when the gong sends the men back. In the second Hall fights Fitz over Into his, Hall's, corner and i getting out of the pen Fitz escapes o ferocious upper cut by a hair's breadth. Had this blow landed there is no earthly doubt but what the fight would have ended right there. Back into the center of the ring again and Fitz went right after his man, and it made the iall contingent weaken 'perceptibly to see him bang and smash Jim on that " crimsor spot ov his left side. The third wasa good ane. Fitz fought like s mad man, but was wild and uncalculating and the consequence was that Hall's long left repeatedly sent his little florid nut bobbing back against his shoulders until it lw\&udhkfi @ cake walk for Jum, **He's licked at last,” yelled some enthu- siast from one of the boxes just before the round closed. This seemed to arouse all the latent fires in Bob's being, and the rally he made for the last half minute was a8 Vigorous a one as was ever secn in a ring And the truth of it is that Fitz had de- cidedly the best of 1it, too, and when the men retired to their corner it was Jim, and not Bob, who showed unmistakable ‘sighs of distress. Then the end came. It was like a thunder- bolt from an uuclouded summer sky. There was a few seconds flddhing and a clinch. ‘The embrace was brief. Fitz was all motion, Hall standiug firm, almost statuesque, with his magnificent guard well up. Fiiz made o balf felot at Jiuw's stomach, and then an- other, when, with the velocity of electricity his awful right came arouud and across, up over Iall's defense and against his jaw with the thud of a trip hammer on & lump of malleable iron. Hall's feet flew into the air, almost into Fitzsimmon's face, and he went back on to his he; nd shoulders and down on his back as if he had been dropped in at the skylight. That was the end. For ful hree minutes he lay dead to the world, and old ringsiders agreed with eac otner that it was as hard and clean a knock- out as could be found in the aunals of the game. and undertakes to figure out how tho was a fako will find himsclf lacking the endorsement of the fairminded followers of fistiana, not only here, but everywhere else where a regard for the truth p And it will be a presumptuous man, too, who positively asserts that the Hall-Slavin fight the other night was a fixed affair. While 1 admit there are abundant grounds for sus- picion I do not assert that this is the case. That Jim Hall is much more than a common man there is no room for mistake, and the best way to get at Fitzsimmon’s estimate of him is to recall the prompt action on Rob- ert’s part after his fight with Jim on tho 7th of last March in announcing that never n would he go out of his class, and when asked a day or two since if ho would meot Hall again o said tha, ho_would, it Hail would come down to 158, Ho suid that he would not give away a pound, This would naturally lead one to beliovoe that Fitz has conceived a very resectable iden of Jim's capabilities as a” fighter. Wo all know how accommodating the lanky Timarueite has been to the fighters over his weight, having fought and whipped both Peter Maher, the Irish gant, and Hall, both poundsand pounds above' him, That he intends fo confine him: to his own class means that the freckled kangaroo is to 80 & long time without a fight. I do not hesitate to pronounce Fitzsim- mons the pugilistic marvel of modern times, and yet he is no favorite of mine and 1 would delight to see him whipped. He ap- poars to be'so constructed as to admit of training either way—up or down. He met Jack Dempsey at 154 pounds and whipped him terribly in thirteen rounds. At less than 160 he makes Peter Maher, the big Celtie, quit in eleven, and at 167 knocks Jim Hall out with a punch, There is littld doubt but that itz could render a good account of himself with any fighter living, Sure it is, no middleweight is likely to go up against him for some time to come, that is, unless a similar monstrosity is develope SANDY GRISWOLD, The Roadster Races Next Week. About all the details for the Roadster club's meeting, which opens one week from next Wednesday, have baen arranged’ and® the management have been in a particularly buoyaut mood. ‘I'he ‘prospect for some“ex-" tracrdinary good sport and substantial financial success could not be rosier, and the club officers and members are congratulating themse}ves accordingly. The grounds ave in tip top shape, and could not present a love- lier or more inviting appearance.

The club is determined to eclipse all other racing meets ever held here, and in this laudable aim it is ardently hoped they will be successful. The business men are urged to turn out each day and ex- tend the encouragement their prosence alone will afford. The meeting is surcly a great advertisement for the city, and ‘thereforo somethiog that every upright citizen is in- terested in.

This is the thrill- ing story that comes from Maryland. Smiling Mickey Welch, once the lion of New York, is pitching for a_semi-profes- sional team way up somewhere in Maine. Spud Farrish has becn offered a “sit” on Southern league’s umpire staff, but he ys “nay, nay, Pauline, life is too sweet.” The Southern league has kicked Billy Pants Harrington back into Indianapolis and engaged Sandy McDermott to fill his place. Pitcher Stein keeps up his triumphal march. He has lost but & single game this season, and is by all odds the star pitcher of the league, Wild Bill Hassamaer, who used to play in Kansas City when Kausas City was called Westport, passes for a young biood down in Montgomery. Silver King claims that it was the extra five feet that knocked him out. Silver can get & job at his old home, St. Joe, if he wants it, anyway. Omaha has a couple of corking ball teams in the Nonpareils and Couventions, They are both a class too good for Lieutenant Wright's soldiers, Bob Gilks is on the sick list. The life and whirl of the great city of Mobile has proven 0o much for Kobert, and he pines for the quietude of Cincinnati.

Gaffney doesn't; he generally gives them what Paddy gave the drum, Thomas Gilbert Vickery has been given the run by Nashville, His fruitless endeavor to get outside of all the moonshive whisky in Tenuessee was the cause of it.
