ment company has just completed arrange
ments for a monster boxing tournament to
be held in Caledonia Park hail. Newark, on

between Bob Fitzsimmons, the middle
weight champion OF the world, and Jack

two rounds.

very clever fighter he is also a hard
hitter and weighs, when in condition, 158
pounds. He is training earnestly for the mill
at Haverstraw. The 1rishman is modest
chap and does not claim he can punch holes
in the lanky Australian, but he does say
that Fitz will know that he has been fight
ing hard before the four rounds are over.
Another interesting event will be the four
round go between Mike Leonard of Brooklyn
and Jim Burge, the iron man Of Australia.
They will fight at 1873 pounds, and as both
are sluggers merry time is expected. Con
Riordan, the California heavyweight who
knocked out Con Coughlan, the Irish giant,
at Madison Square garden on Tuesday night
In sixty-ive seconds, will try to put Val
Flood of Australia to sleep in four rounds.
Paddy German, the eX-welterwelght cham
pion, and Arthur Walker, the best welter-
weight lighter in Australia, will fight six
rounds.

tween Harry Levy and Jack Handler.

New York, Aug. 27-[Specal Telegram to
THE BEE. In talking about his victory over
George Dixon at Madison Square garden
Tuesday night, Billy Plimmer SAID:
II always told my friends that l could beat
Dixon, and / think l proved TO their salts
faction ON Tuesday night that l was not
mistaken, i have studied Dixon's fighting
movements ever since came to America,
and felt confident could avoid his famous
left hand blows by clever ducking and good
stops with the elbow. My success proved
that my theory was correct. Dixon has won
good many fights by soaring his men.
Il
vet met man was afraid OF. / may fight
Dixon to finish some day If purse Of SlO,-
900 Is offered. i went out of my class to
give Dixon "a chance, and il he wants to
fight mo to n finish he will have to come to
my terms. | need a rest just now, and
propose TO take IT,"
Plimmer Is in great demand now. The
Coney Island Athletic club wants to match
the little Englishman against Dixon Tor a

mer finish fight against Johnny Murphy of

thinks batter Of the Coney Island offer.
