EITZ WANTS A SNAP.

Cleveland, January 17.-Champion
Fitzsimmons and his manager, Mar
tin Julian, left town to-day. F1tz-
simmons said that unless Sharkey got
down to business and showed some IN
clination that he wanted to meet the
champion, he might suddenly find that
he was too late.
The statement was made also that
kid" Mccoy might get the fight in
stead of the sailor. The statement is
to the effect that Sharkey has had
about all the time that he can ask for
If he means business, and that though
he has been given the preference SO
far, Jeffries or Mccoy is liable to cover
Fitzsimmons' deposit and demand a
fight, which, it is announced, would be
given either of them.
The Fitzsimmons party say that they
will not haggle over the scene or the
fight. They are sur that a place with
as big a purse and guarantee as the
fight is worth can be easily secured
and the idea that there is only one
place in the world where a big tight
can be pulled off is ridiculous. Neither
Fitz nor Julian think that his defeat
by Sharkey indicates kid" McCoys
inferiority of the sailor.
The Kid fought under adverse cir
cumstances," said Fitz, land he was
licked before the fight when he allowed
himself to be buncoed into agreeing to
q. construction of the rules that was
different from what was provided for
in the articles of agreement"
Julian said: ''Fitzsimmons is as
good a fighter now as he was three
or four years ago, and he reached his
best then. Though he is thirty-six
years old he has not thought of re-
firing before any fighter who is in the
ring to-day. Of course, there will in
time come along some man who is too
good, and Fitz will say: Young fell
low, I'm getting old; l resign in your
favor But the man is not in sight

THE MATCH OFF.

oscar Gardner was matched to fight
with Lenny, at the Millville, Pa., Opera
House, next Monday, and had prepared
for the event. Yesterday he was some
what ~astonished to receive the follow
ing telegram
"Millville, Pa, January II.
Oscar Gardner, Wheeling:
"Lenny sick. Will Tommy Hogan
do? BILLY C~ORCORAN.'
Gardner telegraphed back that he
would accept Hogan at fea%therweight
weight, which is 115 to 122 pounds. but
while others who profess a wish to
fight at something like 1872 or 1873, and
Gardner has quit giving weight to peo-
pie, as has been repeatedly stated in
the Register. 1t is just a little strange
that here lately such men as Lennv
have been getting sick about the time
they have a match on with Gardner.
while others who profess a wish to
fight him want to work away up in the
lightweight class. Gardner has had a
lumber of these experiences, and is
satisfied to put a stop to it. He claims
the forfeit of $50 in the Lenny funk,
and will have nothing to do with folks
over 122 pounds. If Hogan come down
10 that limit by Monday it will be all
right; otherwise not.
Yesterday Gardner issued a chal-
lenge to the winner of the Pluto-Dixon
go, at the Lenox Athletic Club, last
night. AS Pluto was knocked out.
Dixon will have to meet the enquiry.
Yesterday Gardner took charge of
the Duffy saloon. on Market street.
and he will make it a strictly first
class place of resort, spending about
two thousand dollars in fixing it up.
William Feinler and Charlie Och will

THE MINOR COURTS.
An Alleged Case of Spite Work
Against a Second-Hand ClOthier.
Other Cases Of Interest From the
Several Squires Offices.

Two suits brought against NJ. Nor
ris, who keeps a secondhand clothing
store on Market street, north of
Twelfth, by Abe Cohn and Joe kolizn-
sky, who keep secondhand stores fur
Their up the street, were dismissed by
Justice Fitzpatrick yesterday. The
suits were to recover alleged stolen
goods found in Morris store. Mr..
Morris stated last night, when seen by
a Register reporter, that for some rea-
or other secondhand store keepers
are endeayoring to drive him
away from the city. They have been
bringing false suits against him for the
past six months. If this is their de-
termination it will do no good, for Mr..
Morris emphatically stated that he will
not be bullied into leaving town. Mr..
Morris also said that the men who are
bringing these suits against him are
backed up by prominent and rich
men in the city. They made a mis-
take yesterday, for before Justice FitZ-
patrick they swore that the cloths were
stolen from them or last Tuesday
morning. Mr.. Morris proved by his
books and witnesses that he bought
the clothes on the night before. the
compliments claim the goods were
stolen.

New York, January 17.-Once more
George Dixon proved his c~leverness
and hard hitting ability tonight at
the Lenox Athletic Club, where he
met and defeated Young Pluto, of
South Africa, in the tenth round of
what was to have been a twenty round
bout.
The knockout came in the shape of
a left swing in the stomach which
crushed the wind out of the latest ar
rival among the short haired frater-
nifty in this country. Pluto was her.
aided as a world beater by his friends,
but although he is very clever in de-
Nfensive work and undoubtedly game,
he was never dangerous. Dixon soon
battered down the Africans guard and
early in the fight demonstrated that
he was Pluto's master. AS the rounds
passed Pluto's strength was fast ebbing
while Dixon showed no signs of dis
rtress, but on the contrary seemed to
gain renewed energy and forced his
opponent all over the ring. He rained
lefts and rights on head and body, re-
ceiving only an occasional:folow in re-
turn.
In the ninth round he should have
knocked his man out, as the oppor-
tunity presented itself for a right
swing to the Jaw. Dixon did not try
to take advantage of this chance, as
he plainly saw that Pluto could not go
much further, and he was right in so
judging. Although Dixon cannot hit
as hard as formerly, his wonderful
cleverness still stands to him, and it
looks 0 as if he will be able to hold
his own against all-comers for a long
time to come.

in the best possible shape. They are
to meet at catch weights for a guaran-
