Jim Hall Would Like to Know Why.

BosroS. March 2?-In n recent letter "Parson" Da.
vics says: "FzsmMon claims that in San Francisco
he offered to box Jim Hall at catch weight for purse
of $4,000 and donats the money. should he (Fitzsn.
mons) win. to charity. II FitZslmmons made
such offer he must have whispered 1t to himself
neither Hall myself has ever heard Of such
Offer Now II Fitzsimmons was willing to fight Hall
catch weights for purse Of $4,000 then why will no
not night under tue same conditions. now that rurso
fully twice as large can be got ftzsimmons further
states thar he has offered to tight any one Suva
and Jackson. without meeting with any response, and
that Hall has declined every proposition made.
The Metropolitan Club OF New Orleans offered q
OF Sl2 600 the money to be deposited bank
necessary between IIal Pitzsimmo ns
at catch weights. nan Immediately accepted. Fitx.
simmons Mt tirst cined but nferward said he would
give an answer on Jan. II. on that date he signed TO

Fitzsiinmo said this morning that he Is ready to
fight all any time mt lJs pounds but Will require an
outside bet or $40 900 in EDITION to whatever purse is
offered. Fits contention Is that he has beaten Hall
twice already under circumstances that added nothing

that tho objections to organization came from
