NEW IOItA, EcO. I.--loOO l.
mons. the pugilist, has decided to start
for Nevada February -. Martin Julian
his brother-in-law and manager, was
to have started for the west today, but
illness in his family caused him to post
pone his trip until Friday. Although he
has not decided upon training quarters
for the big fighter, it is likely that a
watering place about three miles from
Carson City will be chosen as the spot
to get Fitzsimmons into shape to meet
Corbett. Julian says he thinks four
weeks of hard work will be sufficient 20
put his man in fine fettle, as he is now,
as Is always the case in fine form.
WAITING THE WORD.
CARSON, New, Feb. 1.-No word has
as yet been received from Dan Stuart or
his partner concerning the exact locality
where the glove contest will take place,
but both principals in the great glove
contests are expected here shortly to
go into training.

ing this, Mitchell will issue a challenge

his interest in Washington Music hail,

WILL TRY AGAIN.
LONDON, Feb. Eddy Connolly Of
st. John, N. B.. who fought a ten-round'
draw with Dick Burge at the Olympic
club at Birmingham, England on Thurs
day last. is anxious for another fight
with Burge, and has written letter to
the Associated Press saying that he is
ready to listen to any proposal on the
subject
1t is not thought that Burge will ac-
cept. On the other hand, it Is likely that

BUMPERS AT BUFFALO.
BUFFALO, N. Y, Feb. 2-The twenty
round go" between Hiram Goldstein
and Sammy Callahan at the Empire club
tonight drew an immense crowd, the
building being jammed to the doors.
The fight was a red-hot one throughout.
For the first ten rounds Callahan had
the best of it. He was much the more
lively of the two and escaped many
hard punches In the fourteenth and
fifteenth rounds Goldstein rushed the
fighting, and Callahan soon showed signs
of distress. In the nineteenth round CAL
lahan went to the floor with thud, the
result of a right jab in the face. He
stayed down for seven seconds, and i'm
mediately, on regaining his feet, was
sent down again. The gong saved, him
from count out. In the twentieth and
last round Goldstein made a chopping
block out of his man and at the end of
the round the decision was given to
Goldstein.
