He waits, poses, inspires his ad-Hj ad-Hj I ! ' m versary with temporary confidence, and then r j jm' flashes at a vulnerable point with the accuracy of j . j ' M n. well detailed javelin. Outside of your ancient B J il Red Robert, he is probably the most remarkable f fighter who ever became a performer in the B il realm of Pugville.

Sharkey has developed a ponderous accretion of fat within the past few months, and the old rider of the brine was about as fast in his latest engagement as a leaky tugboat. tug-boat. It seems rather funny that Jeffries should consider that the sailor's defeat by Monroe should add to any extent to the miner's unestablished reputation as a fighter. 3 i iX Abe Attell, one of the speediest of the small boys, will have some difficulty in making 118 pounds for his fight with Harry Forbes. He has taken on much weight of late, and is now in a position to take a high rank in that nondescript class, of which Young Corbett and Hanlon are the leading stellar lights. |
