FOR CHAMPIONSHIP HONORS.;
Some Western Boxers to Meet the Clever New-York Boxers.
The lovers of good boxing and wrestling will be given a rare treat at Madison Square Garden on March 19 and 21. On these two evenings the Amateur Athletic Union will hold its annual boxing and wrestling championships, and from present indications it will be the most successful entertainment of its kind ever given in America.
Notwithstanding the fact that the entries do no close till Wednesday, March 14, a great entry list has been received up to date. The Michigan Athletic Associations of Detroit has entered Michael J. Reilly, its clever 125 and 135 pound man, and his many Detroit admirers expect that he will make a grand showing. From Baltimore comes.......

New York, March 19. - (Special.) - The annual boxing and wrestling championship tournament of the Amateur Athletic Union opened here at Madison Square Garden to-night. The classes in both branches of the sport filled very well and kept 3,000 spectators highly entertained for several hours. Detroit was creditably represented in the wrestling by M. J. Reilly, M.A.A. He made short work of the only opponent he met during the evening, and is looked a warm favorite for the finals. The winners of preliminary bouts in the respective classes were:
....
125 pound class - Five men weighed in. In the first bout M. J. Reilly, Michigan A. C., Detroit, threw R. S. Baird, St. George's A. C., New York, in 37 seconds. Reilly went in to win without any cermony and after a few seconds caught his opponent in a half Nelson. The New Yorker struggled hard to get clear and in doing so landed on his back in a flying fall. Reilly seized the opportunity and pinned his man to the mat until he got the decision. Reilly's cleverness was loudly applauded.
One hundred and thirty-five pound class - M. J. Reilly forfeited to Charles A. Kall, Lexington A. C. The western man did not care to jeopardise his chances in the other class and wisely decided to reserve himself for the final bout in the higher class, which he looks to winning on Wednesday night. His most dangerous opponents are thought to be Walsh, of Boston, and McGrew, of Pittsburg.

DEATH OF A WRESTLER by George W. Stark
Michael J. Reilly died of a heart attack Monday morning up in the north Michigan country that he loved to be with his dogs and guns, and that, I suppose, to the younger generation of sports fans wouldn't mean much but to the Old Timers it means pretty near everything, for Mike Reilly, as we knew him, was more than a great athlete. He was a fine Irish gentleman with a great heart. And a true sportsman, which is the finest thing, I guess, that can be said about a man.
He was a wrestler, Mike was, back in the days when there was dignity to that sport. He'd come out of Canada back a long time ago (they tell me Mike was 72) and we kids on the East Side first knew him when he was a sort of boy of all work for J. G. Patterson, who had the hardware store on Jefferson near Mt. Elliott.
Mike has his own peculiar niche in that glamorous East Side picture, when the Irish lads out there, the growing sons of the immigrants who had been infiltrated into the Detroit population in the middle of the last century, were learning to be athletes. Downtown Detroit had its old Detroit Athletic Club, it's true, but on the east side was the Michigan Athletic Association, later to be called the Michigan Athletic Club. Later the Detroit University School took over the building and grounds at Elmwood avenue and between Larned and Congress streets. The big field still stands and in the building, the Recreation Commission has established headquarters.
Out Jefferson avenue near the Patterson hardware store was Scullen's Field and close to Leib street was Frost's and from these rolling meadows many a big leaguer was to emerge. Mick Murphy and Keene Fitzpatrick, the famous trainers, came into the picture. Mike later went to Yale and Penn, Keene to Michigan and Princeton. While here they turned out the world's fastest runners: John Owen, Harry Jewett, Barney Wefers. And once they produced the best soccer foot ball team in the world, besides training some of the greatest amateur base ball outfits that wore the colors of the old DAC.
But Mike went in for wrestling, of all things. And Mike and Keene trained their expert eyes on that lithe young body and decided that Mike would do. He took all comers in the 135-pound class, won the championship of America. He stepped out of his own class to beat the heavier boys. He was still a champion when he retired.
In his later years he made the North Country his home and there hunted and fished with his pals and had a good time with his dogs.
Winters he lived here at the Whittier, spent his leisure moments fanning with old friends. As a boy I looked on Mike as a Greek god. Through the years I came to know him as a fine Irish gentleman with a great heart and a gentle Irish humor. But just the same, I never thought of him as anything less than godlike, in the manner of the athletes of antiquity.

Legend -
Michael & Alice (McHugh) Reilly
Lived and had their children in Maidstone (Essex Co.) Ontario, Canada. Michael deserted Alice when the children were quite young and went to Devil's Lake, North Dakota and bought land. Alice and the older children moved to Detroit where Annie Flannery (married to Mike Flannery) bought a saloon on Atwater street for her to manage with her children John and Bridget. Her son Michael was raised by some Maidstone neighbors (Morin) and Alice A. was raised by Elizabeth (Lizzie) Quinlan as her own. Annie (Quinlan) O'Connell was like a siser to Mimi (Alice A. Reilly). Mimi was only 12 years old when her mother died and Liz Quinlan was like a mother to her.

Death:
In the register 1850 of L'Assomption Church in Sandwich is the record of the death of John Reilly. Partial transcription is as follows:

Present Michel Riley, his son, Patrick Maguire and Patrick Riley who could not sign. Signed Patrick Maguire and Micheal Reilly.

I believe that the date of this record was incorrectly transcribed. It is between the baptism of Elisabeth Chardron on 30 Sep 1850 and the burial of Mary D. Cavanagh on 4 Oct 1850. I believe that he died on 30 Sep 1850 and was buried on 2 Oct 1850.
John Reilly wrote is last will and testament on 4 Sep 1850, so he was alive in 1849.
