LATEST OF THE PRIZE FIGHT.
Ell PAso, Tex, Feb. 15.-[Spe.
cial up to 9 o'clock this morning,
no communication had been estab-
lished with Makers training quar-
ters at Las Cruces, and in view Of
the favorable reports received last
night, a large number OF sports
who had intended to take the
morning train home, agreed to
wait until this evening. DR.. White
is of the opinion that II the i'm
provement in Makers sight is as
marked as the physician in attend
ance reported last night, he may
be able to go into the ring Mon
day.
While Fitzsimmons continues to
keep his own counsel, the impress.
sion is general that il Maher is still
unable to continue to come to time
when the status quo expires, the
Australian will take the forfeit and
proceed to pack up preparatory to
going east. Efforts were made at
noon to induce Fitzsimmons and
Julian to extend the status quo
until next Friday, upon a written
agreement that If Maher does not
get into the ring by that time the
| Australian can take the forfeit, and
to be paid his expenses In the In
tervening period. Fitzsimmons is
discouraged over the situation and
will probably agree to anything
that gives a prospect OF a fight
within a reasonable time.
Ell PAso, Tex, Feb. l5.-[Spe-
cial1 Peter Maher will not be In
condition to fight Monday. This
is the story from Las Cruces, where
he is under medical treatment.
The news sent thrill Of disgust
over the entire community, in
GLIDING the rangers and Mexican
soldiers on the other side. Hun
dreds OF strangers are here, but do
not care to remain until April and
vote for candidates for municipal
offices. Maher is not in condition,
hence Stuart is up stump.
