All unite in saying it would bo a good thing for sport. Tho membors of the California donothavoto cbaso around half the night in out-of-the-way places and make all arrange ments in secret in order to witness a sparring match. If there was such a club here admirers of boxing could see many good glovo contests without being mado to feel that they wero en gaged in a chicken. stealing expedition. Those gentlemen who are interested in tho "manly art " ought to tako tho mattor up. , . . . There is every indication that Jimmy Carroll, of Brooklyn, will fight La Blanche the Marine, to a finish at a California Club May 88, for a fl.SOO purse, tho winner to tako $1,200. Car roll expects to start for California within a woek. with Dick Toner, who goes with film as trainer and manager. La Blaficho is now in Lcadvillc with Charlie Oleason, of Boston.
