N picking out Mike Shreck, of Chi- cago, for his next opponent. Fitz i) simmons has chosen a good man to test his broken hands on, Shreck {9 tough as a piece of boiler iron, He can take almost any kind of a beating, Of course, this Chicago man isn't any- thing like a match for Fitzsimmons in fgnting cleverness (few fighters are), it he can go fast enough to sult most be the light heavies, Fitz isn't looking for easy marke Bull, he ought to beat Shreck without much trouble. UR friends, the politicians, have O landed a hard solar plexus punch on James Coffroth of Ban Fran: elsco, Coffroth had White and Britt matched to fight in April before the Yosemite Club, the bigwest and best fighting club on the Pactitc Coast, But James dabbled in politics, to his own Indoing, Ho fell foul, so the story goes, A gentleman named McNab, a power An Frisco town, and found himself out- matched. Now an inferior club, the Hayes Val- Jey, has been given the May date, while the April da-e has ben Jaid away with the mothballs, On May 5, therefore, un- less the managers of the Hayes Valley Club get into some political sorap, White and Britt will settle their difter- ence of opinion, Britt te working hard now. White has been almost on edge for a weok, The battle will be hard fought, and the winner will make bold to claim the AUght-weight championship of the world, In White's case, if he returns to ing- Jand a winner over Britt, the Britons will acknowledge his right to the title. According to the ethics of the game Borose the way, Gans {ts no longer ahampion because he declines to defend the title at the weight Itmit. Britt inalsts that the mame rule @hould he enforced here, in which case he would come into the honors by de- fault, being undobtedly the best real Meht-wolght in the country, Fighting within the light-weight mit he has de- feated Erne, Corbett, Fitzgerald and Battling Nelson, the picked men of the IGGDR STANLEY, of England, will soon be seen In Philadelphia rings. He thas been imported by a Philadelphia sporting man, Stanley is & pretty fair fighter. ‘Three yeare ago 1 saw him fight Pedlar Palmer fi the Won- derland, London, Palmer took the de- lain, but any fair referee must have Given it to Stanley, He won all the way, Pedlar Paimer'a brother4n-law refer- @ed the bout, and Palmer couldn't jose, The Digger 1s @ tall, lanky scrapper, all fone and sinew. He has a hatchot face and legs as long as Spike Sullivan's, In tart, ho is something like Sullivan in ‘aPRearance, and fights in the same will- ing manner. MM‘ 4.will be a great sporting day, In the afternoon the Metropolitan Handicap wil be run at Bolmont Park, and at night Hackenschmidt and Jenkins wrestle at Madison Squaro Gar- @en for the American championship. The great Beldame will run in the handicap, this time in August Belmont's colors, Mr, Belmont and EB, R.

But there will be a great fleld, Byery eligible crack of last year is en- tered. 8 for the muscular wrestlers, A there does not seem to We a great betting difference between them, Hackenschmidt, at Graeco-Roman, can handle Jenkins like a fretful child. But the catch-as-catch-can rules lend some doubt as to the outcome of the bout. The Russian Lion says he knows @ ifttle more about the free-for-all style than people think, Jenkins dowan't believe it, and has managed to establish a trust among the catch-as- @atch-can arapplers, so that none of the bic fellows will help in the Rus- plan's schooling. I asked Hack a few days ago wha tho would do in case Jenkins's leg holds too much for him, “Ah,” gald Hack, “but I will not let him take them, You shall see, I shail ‘be too fast for him. “Yes, but if he does get an ankle twister?” hen, if he even breaks my leg, I shall wrestle him and with only one leg throw him down.

PHILADELPHIA, April 26,—Juck Johnson, colored heavy-weight, knooked out Jim Jeffords, of California, in four |rounds at the Knickerbocker Athletic Club last night. Johnson did not dis- play any of the championship timber he claimed to possess, but at that had | Jeffords at his mercy while the bout leeted. Tt was a left-hand hook and a hard jewing delivered with the force of a lenule kick that ended Jeffords's hopes, and it landed in the pit of the stom- leach, Up to the time of the quietus Johneon had succeeded in closing one of Jefford eyes and had hie nose and {ips badly cut, Johnson's showing «! that, however, 44 not arouse any great amount of enthusiasm, The vest bout of the evening was that betwoen ‘Misetssippi’ and Joe Jackson, ‘Sip had the best of it, but he knew he had been fighting, as Jack- son, despite the lacing he recelved, was always Lelie FELTMAN AND CARDIFF DRAW, (Bpecial to The Evening Wort.)
