Ring Boxing Prospects From Fort Erie To San Francisco
The article reports tentative boxing arrangements for a twenty round bout between Tommy Ryan and Jack Root, with possible sanctioning by the International Athletic Club of Fort Erie or the San Francisco Athletic Club. A $5000 purse is offered. It also notes Kid McCoy and Tom Sharkey seeking fights with Jack Munroe or Jeffries, with Sharkey claiming $1000 to $5000 to win. McCoy offers $5000 to face Munroe, McCoy hints Jeffries may accept. Munroe aims to rise to challenge big names, including Jeffries, if he shapes up. Corbett’s chance against Jeffries appears dim, while a Jeffries–Fitzsimmons tour may continue. Corbett has trained months, hoping for a match Jeffries promised, though Jeffries may repudiate it if not.
