less has again eluded the officials OF
the Government and is off for Cuba
with a cargo of arms and ammunition.
The Dauntless left this port on Novem-

action of Col. John D. Hopkins, Of
Chicago, in posting with ill J. Davis,
the theatrical manager, forfeit of
81, 900 for a match between Dan Cree

Creedon for middleweight champion

BILE of mystery, inasmuch as Fiizsim-
mons is ssthe undisputed middeweight
champion although by his recent CON-
test with Corbeit he put himself also In
the heavyweight class, The consensus
OF opinion Is that any meeting between
Creedon and Mccoy will simply be tor
points, and that under no circumstances
can any championship issue be involy-
ed until one of the two men has met
and defeated Fitzsimmons for the mid
dleweight belt.
