Gossip About Half Dozen Lead
ing Fistic Artists.

The recent letter of Jimmie Carroll to
great deal of interest. 1t is addressed
to Capt. A. W. Cook, and in it Carroll
says he has broken up a well-laid con-
spiracy to secure FitZsimmOns' defeat
by foul means, if necessary, and attrib-
utes the attacks to those whose scheme
he has foiled. He charges "ParsOn"
Davies, of Chicago, with being the chief
conspiratOr. Carroll says, among other
things: "A man leaves San Francisco,
a man who had been travelling with
Parson Davies. and he tries all i'll his
power to be allowed to train FitZ. A
dispatch from Frisco posted me on that.
The articles were drawn up to satisfy
gentlemen who wanted to choose the
referee, and there comes out the name
of young gentleman who had Travelled
with the Parson. He was TO referee the
contest and what he said had to go.
Well, as soon as l saw the articles and
the movements of the party, | thought
it high time to break the combine. l
Jumped straight to ST. Paul, sent a dis
patch to Bob to come to st. Paul. Bob
and his wife and baby came. We shook
hands and went to show that night.
Bob and wife went back next morning.
And here | am, and L am at his side
whether with or without dollar coming
to me. l have at least broken up the
deal"
Parson Davies was interviewed at
BelOit, Wis, In regard to the matter,
and he said: Il couldn't for the life of
me make out what Carroll means. lam
guilty of no conspiracy to defeat Fitz-
simmons. excepting in preparing Hall
for the battle" Mr.. Davies further
said that he was prepared to meet any
specific charge, but had nothing more
to say on so blind stab. which was an
insult to the Minnesota association as
we'll as himself Hall laughed at the
report and said: ''lf there is some way
fixed for me to win this fight without
fighting, what have / been working so
like beaver for?'' There is certainly
much feeling between the interested
parties, which gives the sports pleasure,
for they think 1t means harder battle.

George Dixon, the bantam weight
! who is in training to fight A. u. Willis
this month, has some new ideas II
training which will probably be adopted
by other pugilists in this country. AL
! though always confident of winning,
! Dixon never goes into training with the
idea of doing up an opponent in two Oh
