ing between Jim and Mrs. Jim. They held on

but surely returning to his old-time form,
writes that he will be in the East after the
big fight has been decided ready to meet
any one his weight If Van Heest fails to
catch on he intends to go to England.
If Maher insists meeting Fitz again he
has an excuse that he had demonstrated his
superiority over Maher in such short order
that the Irishman must get new reputa-
ton before he would again talk fight to him.
1t would be an interesting row all around.
Charlie Mitchels claims to a right to con-
| test for the championship are not CONSIDERED
| serious. Mitchell and Fitz have never met
| but it is hardly among the probabilities that
the Englishman would make any better show
ing with Lanky Bob than did Maher.

was in America few years, is anxious to re-
turn and fight Tommy Ryan or Green.
