NEW ORLEANS Sept. 24.-The Olym-
pic Club is ready for the great tourna-
ment which begins tonight with the
Plimmer-M Murphy fight.
Tomorrow Stanton Abbott and Jack
Everhardt meet at 1873 pounds, the
American lightweight limit. Abbott Is
English champion in his class. and Ever
hardt has stood up against excellent
men here. He defeated Abbott two
months ago. but the claim was set up
that the American had repeatedly fouled
the Englishman.
The great battle of the tournament
Is that of the middle weights, Fitzsim-
mons and Creedon. on the 18th
The lanky Australian has several pro-
nounced advantages over his more
stocky, sturdy countryman. For in
stance, his exact height Is feet II IA
inches-in fact, nearer feet II l2 inch
es than s feet II i-4-while Creedon
measures 8 feet s l-2 inches. a differ
ence of 3 inches in favor of Fitzsim-
mons. AS to reach, the Creedon men
concede slightly the best of IT to FitZ,
but he will not have much advantage.
In weight there will be little advan-
tage on either side. If any, 1t will be in
Creedon's favor. Creedon Is a wonder
on his feet and with his hands. He is
every bit as strong as, IL not stronger
than Fitzsimmons.
