GREGGAIN's GRIEVANCE.
He Says FitzsimmOns Is Ignoring
His Proposition.

Boston, March 81. -Aleck Greggains
is very bitter against Bob FitZsimmons,
whom he charges with jumping away
from the proposition that the Austria
Ian had made in Chicago. He there
stated that he would fight GreggainS to
a finish if the latter would post for
felt. Greggains deposited 81, 900 Wednes-
day, but FitZSImmOnS goes back on
his first proposition by Offering TO
give Greggains $1,000 if he will
stand before him six rounds at the
Madison Square garden. FitZsimmons
is very safe in his offer, as he knows
that such contest would not be al
lowed in New York. Greggains, how
ever. is determined to force matters.
He considers it very small business for
worlds champion to take a limited
round fight, but he will accept his new
offer. Greggains is willing to fight
FitZsimmOns as many rounds as he
likes at some place where the contest
will be allowed to come off, or he
will fight HIM a preliminary at the
Coney Island club of from six to twenty
rounds, and his 81 900 deposit goes in
support Of the offer.

blows. The lobby became rapidly crowded,

apart. Colonel Warning led Colonel Saun-
derson away, Ssunderson showing evidence
of much excitement and anger. Mr.. Red
mond walked away from the scene amid
shouts of "They shall meet at Boynei" fol-
lowed by cheers and laughter.
Speaker Peel, hearing ct the encounter
between Mr.. Redmond and Colonel Saun-
deraon, ordered police inspector to the
scene, with instructions to arrest the man
who struck the first blow. The inspector
appeared toward the end of the quarrel
and, after having warned both members of
the nature of his instructions, waited to
see what happened.

has challenged Mr.. Redmond to duel on

tirely informal and consisted entirely of
questions as to the length of the program

to remain in Chicago to perform what was
expected of him. eff Co." he said, 'it
will be because deem 1t a public duty
which ought to discharge. At that time,
as you gentlemen are doubtless aware,
there will be many matters of public i'm
portanes to demand my presencs here"
The president said he would consider
the matter, and announce his decision In q

men then shook hands with him and re-
tired.
