	BALTIMORE, Nov. 18.--A big crowd filled the Front Street Theatre to-night to see a fight between "Young" Griffo and "Joe" Ganz, a local boxer. The men gave a sparring exhibition lasting ten rounds, at the end of which Griffo announced that he had agreed not to put Ganz out, as a condition precedent to the bout. The crowd hooted and yelled "fake."		BALTIMORE, Nov. 18.--A big crowd filled the Front Street Theatre to-night to see a fight between "Young" Griffo and "Joe" Ganz, a local boxer.

+It has been many a day since old Front Street Theatre has been so packed as it was last night. The occasion was the sparring tournament of the Eureka Club, and the many horsemen who are here to attend the Pimlico races helped to pack the house from top to bottom, while the stage around the ring was crowded.
 James Conroy, business manager for young Griffo, is in town. Mr. Conroy says that Griffo was obliged to deal gently with Joe Gans in their bout before the Eureka Athletic Club of Baltimore Monday night, else Gans would not have sparred.
-"We tried our best to get a man who would stand up and give Griffo a good, stiff set-to, but there wasn't a man in the city who would do it, and we did the best we could, and let Gans go on with him. Griffo could have pleased the crowd by punishing Gans, but he promised faithfully not to slug, and he kept his promise." ''(Washington Post, November 20, 1895)''
