FITzsIMMoNs IN TRAINING.
The Tall Australian Doing Great Work in
His Daily Exercise.

The Tall Australian Doing Great Work in
His Daily Exercise.
BAY ST. LOUIS, MISS, Feb. 2O.-Robert Fitz-
simmons has reached 170 pounds, and he is
thoroughly fit to enter the ring tomorrow
and render unto Peter Maher as hard time
as any pugilist ever had.
To-days exercise of boxing was with Felix
vauquelin, ten rounds, and he didn't weary
the Australian one bit or even wind him for
a second. His exercise to-day was the hard
est he has yet put in. and he seemed to en-
joy it all the more on account of its severity.
Vauquelin. weighing 2l5 pounds, had his
hands far more than full trying to elude or
hit the antipodian.
Your correspondent, accompanied by Mr..
Charles Neal, President of the Olympic Club,
payed a visit to the bay to-day to ascertain
Fltzsimmons' real weight and form, and
this will be the first authentic news con-
cerning FitZsimmons' avoirdupois. Your
representative held the watch on the
Timarue man to-day and saw him go through
the most peculiar antics ever seen for fully
So minutes, and surprising at 1t may seem,
he wasn't in need Of a silver or even drop
or ale at the finish. His wonderful bag
punching is treat to witness, and more
than once the inflated ball was made to
leave its swivel lock and fly out into the
open air. FitZsimmons is the greatest ball
fighter that ever trained in these quarters,
not even excepting John L., who worked
near by when he was preparing tor Paddy
Ryan.
There is not much betting done vet, but
the people of New Orleans and the Bay are
enthusiastically of the opinion that Fitz-
simmons will whip Maher. Many OF them
forget however, that Maher is as yet an un-
tried quantity i'll this country and that
little bit of caution could't possibly hurt in
placing their money.

ACTS LIKE A COWARD.
That's What MT. Slosson Says About Cham
pion BilIiardist Jake Schaeffer.

That's What Mr. Slosson Says About Cham
pion BilIiardist Jake Schacffer.
NEW YORK, Feb. e0.-George Slosson made
a statement last night which was designed
to settle definitely and finally the much
talked of proposition for a three-night
match between Champion Schaeffer and
himself. 1t was suggested by an interview
telegrsphed from Chicago. Slosson again
declared that he Nnad never made any prop
osition for a three-night match to the cham
pion.
"The only way will play Schaeffer three
nights" Slosson said. "is that each nights
play shall count as a distinct and separate
game, the winner of two to take the money.
These games are to ne 500 points each, and
the man who gets 800 first each night is to be
declared winner of that particular game''
To make this as definite as possible con-
cerning the championship game Slosson
said he would play the winner of the Schaef-
fer-1ves game either in this city or in Chi
cago. He would allow the winner $3.50 ex-
penses to play here or accept the same
money to go to Chicago and play. Slosson
laughed Mt the suggestion of SIS for expenses
offered by Schaeffer to play him in Chicago.
That's the most niggardly offer l ever
heard Of" he exclaimed.
"1f Schaeffer should lose," Slosson added,
"I am willing to play him side match in
New York for 500 q side, but only on condi-
tions that get match with Ives for the
CidHplOnS0lp III Uuc meantime. Inls is the
sum and substance OF what am willing to
do, and / want it understood that these Of
fers do not remain open until the Schaeffer-
Ives match is decided. They must be acted
upon at once or l will withdraw them.
what is the matter with Schaeffer, any
how?' said Slosson in conclusion. "Why
don't he come out like a man about the
championship. He acts like coward who
Is afraid to try conclusions where his laurels
are endangered. He got g., 800 when he won
the Lenox Lyoeum match. He could make
as much again by defeating me. Why
doesn't he offer to play again If he is really
so confident that he has got cinch when
he meets me-"
A billiard enthusiast said last night it ap-
peared to him that Schaeffer was actually
afraid to play Slosson again. There is
general belief" said he, "that Slosson is the
steadier player, and that it was only by luck
that Schaefrer won the Lyceum match"
