Louis announces it's intention of talk
ing hand in politics.
In the city there are many hundreds of
young men. and not few older ones who
never vote. and for the most part they belong to

intention Of the league to induce these men to
register and vote. The committee will CO.
operate with the Epworth league other like as
SOciatlonS. The cardinal principle of an En-
deavorer will be that he will not vote for a cor
rupt man. no matter what ticket he is on. It
is also their intention to participate in the
primaries.

night.

They fought at middle weights at 154
pounds. Both men are australians by
birth. but Fitzsimmons is now an American
citizen by adoption.
This was the star event Of the carnival
and was match that had attracted more
interest than most of the pugilistic matters
of recent date. FitzsimmonS has been so
prominently before the public for some
years that any match in which he was
participant was bound to create interest
throughout the entire country. An
additional feature in the Importance of the
match was the bearing it has to prospec-
tive meeting between FltZslmTnons ana
Corbett. FitZsimmons has been most per-
severing in his efforts to secure match
with the champion heavy weight, and from
time to time has been put off with the re-
minder that he was not IN his class.
COrbett first named ChoynsKi as the man
"Lanky Bob' had TO whip before be could
talk of match Ftzsimmons made and
won the match and then he was told by the
champion that he would have to go with
Creedon to place himself in position
to talk fight. Comparatively little was
known of Creedon by the general public,
although the visitors from St. Louis were
enthusiastic in their praises of the man.
Despite that fact, however, Fitzsimmons
remained prohibitive favorite, the pool
room odds being hunted at from 10 10 to
to 3, while as good as . to could be had
against Creedon.
When the men entered the ring for the
great contest, Fitzsimmons looked indeed
formidable He was finely drawn and
but for traces OF prickley heat, his skin
was as white as a baby's. His enormous
shoulders and chest when compared with
his narrow waist and hips. was
particularly marked. His long, 1.-the arms
and legs were covered with sinuous mus
cles that gave every indication OF terrible
force and speed. His every movement in
the ring was like that of a panther watch
ing his prey and ready to spring upon 1T.
CreedOn, as he appeared, presented a
stocKier look and all the lines of his SYM
metrical body indicated strength and ex-
cellent condition. Fitzsimmons had some
thing TO the good in height and reach, but
as he stood with his legs further apart
than Creedon. it was not so marked as it
night have been.

body. CreedA was then knocked out by
a heavy left on hhe jaw.
There was thA widest demonstrations
ever seen in thu ring. Referee Duffy
awarded the fight to Fitzsimmons, who
was loudly cheered.
Referee Duffy announced Fitzsimmons's
challenge to Champion Vorbett. The ap-
plause which followed was immense.
The work Of FitzsimmoAs in tne second
round was the most marvellous ever seen
in this section of the country The right
handlers which Creedon received on the
mead in IL. order, amazed the spectators
and dszed the recipient. and they were
nothing from an artistic ppgilistic
point OF view compared with the three
heavy lefts dealt in the l, 2, order on
Creedon's nose, which fioored the latest
aspirant for middle weight honors apd
caused Creedon to fall, the easieSF prey of
all Robert Fitzsimmons's adversaries.
The main fighting of the battle was done
in the centre of the ring, the river sand OIL
which was ploughed up more by the foot
work of the two men in the actual hight
ing time, which was four minutes and
forty seconds, than IL was ever be-
fore, even in all night battles. Creedon
was carried to his corner gasping hard for
breath, and showing traces OF blood trlnk-
ling from his nose. He was comparatively
unhurt during the first round and went 10
his corner smiling happily and chatting
with his attendants. The inference Is
that he was beaten in one minute
and forty seconds, the time Of the second
.sund. His seconds and his hackers were
,.artled beyond measure, and even those
who desired Fitzsimmons's defeat, and
there were many, were overawed and full
of wonderment at the tall mans marvellous
fstic skill.
After the fight was over there were
groups and knots of spectators seemingly
spell bound in different parts Of the MAN.
