Left to local preference Sullivan Sul-livan would be elected to go before him, for while he would scarce be prepared pre-pared to leave the result to a matter of scientific points his trememlous reach and delivery would at least make it interesting for the Australian. Sullivan's friends have long expressed a desire to have him tested in age with Fitz-limmons Fitz-limmons should that pugilist come this wav and should he hold Hall to his "knittiug" they will feel more confident confi-dent than ever of his ability to hold up his end of a match with any man in his class. A match race was made yesterdav for $100 a side between Mitchell's Klde.r Lucas and McCoy iV. Kendnll's Blackbird. Black-bird. The race is to lie best two in three, mile heats, and is to be paced on the track of the Salt Lake Driving I'ark association on May 4th. 't here is an effort being made' to arrnngo several other attractions for the same date so as to make one good day's racing. Two rattling mills during the week have stimulated interest in sporting matters, and a number of matches are being agitated that will draw largely. The event was the meet between Captain Cap-tain Lange and George La Blanche, and if there was ever any doubt concerning con-cerning the prowess t! the captain it was removed at the cod of the sixth round and "wind up," Lange strikes an attitude as stubborn as the foundation founda-tion of a five story block, and while a misfortune in early life has rendered his right hand practically useless, he shows a capacity for doing terrible devestation among the haunts of pugilistic pugil-istic anatomy with his left. The spectators spec-tators got the full benefit of their money on this occasion, if they ever got it in their lives, and while admiration for the Marine was not impaired, it advanced ad-vanced several points in Lance's favor. The same may be said of Fid Lynott, who has thus far defeated nil comers with the "pillows," and it is yet a matter of thrilling speculation as to what he is capable of doing in a three-minute round were skin-tight gloves authorized by law. Lynott gives excellent promise of championship champion-ship degrees and An effort is making to get on a match between him and some celebrity in his class. He is well knit, sober and circumspect and with a good reach would be backed in any match with a large clientele from Zion and Fort Douglass. Colonel Kclley who has been his arch-patron up to this time feels more than encouraged with the progress his protege has made and should Lynott continue to improve will give him an opportunity to try his metal next fall. The meeting between Jim Hill, champion middle weight of Australia, and Kd Hennessey, who claims the same prestige of Colorado took a number num-ber of sports to Ogden last night, tho delegation being under the leadership of Colonel Ed Kelley. It was curiosity that took the crowd to Og'len and no't that they expected tj see anything like a match. They have seen Hall that's all. lie is a man of wonderfully elastic mould, quick as a cat and probably as well received as any man in the prize ring. Heunes-sey, Heunes-sey, of course, was not in it. He went before the antipodean, too, with the distinct understanding that he was not lo be dragged into it any further than !o afford the latter opportunity to con-rince con-rince the spectators that he knew what te was about when he launched the deti it Fitzsimmons. It is poing the rounds thnt. Tia. u - i |
