port the bill to the House when il meets

that the schedule contained no concealed

Fitzsimmons to-day declared that in the
event of his losing the fight he will leave

do?" he said. Il cannot get any more
matches in the middle weight class. and If

THE SMALLER FIGHTS:
1t is expected that both of the smaller
fights will furnish much excitement. All
the men are in the finest condition. and all
Of them are confident of the result. The
betting is somewhat in favor of Billy Smith
as against Green, although there are SO
many friends of the latter here from San
Francisco that they have pushed his odds
up somewhat. Green will enter the ring
weighing 147 pounds and Smith will be ten
pounds heavier. The fight is at catch
weights, and the Eastern men who think
that in any event that Smith will have the
better of Green are confident that, with
his extra weight. he will have sure thing
of it. Hawkins and F'laherty are 10 fight
at l2s pounds, and both are at the weight.
Flaherty is somewhat under the weight,
and probably will fight at l27. Hawkins
will be 12s

rate at o'clock this evening, but no one

towards which it is tending will doubtless

The outlook for tomorrow is for a clear
day, with abundance of sun-just such a
day as is needed for the fight.
