FITz AND JOHN CAN'T MEET.
Brooklyn's Police Chief Says That There
Can be no Sparring Match.

New York, June 29.-Police Superin-
tendent McKelvey, of Brooklyn, said to-
day:
"Fitzsimmons and Sullivan cannot
meet in a sparring match or exhibition
at Ambrose Park or anywhere else in
Brooklyn ON July 9Th.
II have not been consulted in the mat
ter, but the authorities have decided up
on a course of action if an attempt is
made to give such an exhibition.
II understand that Ambrose Park
holds a theatrical license. Under this
license Fitzsimmons and Sullivan might
give an Illustrated lecture.
"They could show their Knockout
blows, swings, cross counters and upper
cuts, but they would not be permitted
to give an exhibition of sparring, either
scientific or otherwise, and they would
have to be mighty careful in presenting
their illustrated lecture.
"People who go to the exhibition with
the expectation of seeing a fight will be
disappointed. I do not know whether
the managers of the affair will go on max.
| ing arrangements, but if they do there
will be sufficient number of policemen
on duty to insure the preservation OF
law and order"
