CROOKEDNESs ALLEGED.


NEW YORK, Aug. N-The fight between
Tommy West and Joe Walcott, which was
the main attraction at the Twentieth Cen
fury Club in M-adison-square Garden, ended
in a most peculiar manner tonight. The
bout had gone eleven rounds. very much in
Walcott's favor. as he had punished West
very badly about the body and had him
in a very weakened condition. When the
bell rang for the twelfth round, TO the sur
prise of everybody, Walcott refused to go
on. claiming that he had injured his left
arm. Referee Charley White, suspecting
crookedness, insisted on Walcott continuing
but the negro refused to resume. This left
White no alternative other than TO declare
West the winner. There was quite a large
sum of money wagered with West the IA
vorite, and the referee was outspoken in
reference to Walcott's peculiar actions.
White said:
"Walcott was not injured; he quit de-
iberately and IL was my candid, confirmed
opinion that he was actuated i'm quitting
by some dishonest motive. / believe that
W2lcott was encouraged TO act as he did by
some person closely connected with him.
That he should act thus is no surprise TO
me. as he established a precedent for
similar work in San Francisco not so very
long ago. And | think il was a scheme TO
hurt the management of the Twentieth
Century Club, which has all along acted in
good faith
Manager Kennedy. on behalf of the club,
announced that Walcotts share of the
money would not be given TO him. but
would be donated TO some charitable insti-
tuition. There were many anxious INQUIRIES
as TO whether the bets made would be
called off. but Manager Kennedy. on be-
half of the club, said that as betting i'm
New York State was Illegal. he was sorry
that the club could take no cognizance of
wagers made. otherwise. all persons con-
nected with the Twentieth Century Club
would be glad TO call all bets off.

FITz QUITS THE RING
HE FAILS TO GET A MATCH WITH
JEFFRIES, THE CHAMPION,
And Announces He viii Go Out of Pu-
Gilism with the Horton Law
ON Friday Night.

NEW YORK, Aug. .27.-Robert Fitzsim-
mons tonight announced his retirement
from the puglisitc ring. He made an in
effectual attempt to-day TO get on a match
for the heavyweight championship with j.
Jeifries to take place before the Horton
law expires at midnight next Friday. and
tonight issued the following statement:
II am through with fighting. 1 will re-
tire from the ring and will not claim the
championship from J~effries. I am ready
and on edge TO meet him next Friday night
as his manager suggested ten days ago,
but as he claims he is in no condition to
fight on that night, / am through with him
and with the ring. HencefOrth there will
be one man less in the heavyweight di-
vision, for l will go out with the Horton
law
FitZsimmons with his manager, Percy
Williams. of Bergen Beach. met William
A. Brady, representing Jeffries, this after
noon. Last saturday Fftzsimmons deposited
81, 500 to bind a match between himself and
Jeffries for next Friday night and Brady
sent word that he would meet Fitzsim-
mons to arrange for a battle between
Jeffries and the e-x-heavyweight champion.
Fitzsimmons said he was ready and willing
TO meet Jeffries or Friday night before the
Twentieth Century I'll under any condi-
tions as TO the division of the purse or gate
receipts which would suit Brady. He said
he would be satisfied for the winner to take
all, or TO split the purse in half. or to give
On per cent. to the winner, or 65 per cent.
to the loser, or in fact any terms possible
so that he could meet the present cham
pion before the expiration of the Horton
law.
Brady in reply said that Jeffries was in
no condition as he had quit training several
days ago. He said il would be unfair for
Fitzsimmons to force a match with a man
physically unfit for such n contest. Fitz-
simmons replied that Jeffries had had
plenty of time to get into condition. and
said that although he had gone through
two very severe battles the last two weeks.
he was on edge now and ready to fight to
regain the championship.
Brady said 1t was impossible for a fight
TO take place between Jeffries and Fitz-
simmons on the date mentioned. but that
he would put up a forfeit at once to bind
a match between the two. the fight to take
place within three months from Sent. /.
and a side bet of $4,000. Fitzsimmons would
not listen TO this proposition, and said that
1t was only made for advertising pur-
poses.

CHICAGO, Aug. 2.-Sad Sam won the
third race at Hawthorne to-day from ST.
lurian and Dandy Jim in a sensational fin
ish, in which a blanket could have covered
all three, while Matin could do no better
than finish third in the first race. Sad Sam
was at the good price of S TO 1 and ran a
brilliant race. He set such a lively pace
that Silurian could never get TO him. al
though making a strong bid in the stretch.
Dandy Jim, second choice in the betting,
was a strong contender and was only beat
en- a nose. Summary:
Five and one-half furlongs: Dangerline,
2 to /. won; Hurry second, Matin third.

Baseball Notes.

Hartsel made a brilliant catch yesterday
in the fourth inning.
Mannassau gave several close decisions
yesterday in favor Of the Millers.
Kellum was in the game at all stages.
With just a hit at the proper time the
Hoosiers could ave won.
Harvey. who was so wild while in the
box for Minneapolis on the Millers' last
trip here, was very steady yesterday.
A victory yesterday would have come
into good play at this stage of the race.
Still, il was better 10 tie than to lose.
1t was lucky thai Hickey's errors did
not prove costly. Ii is to be hoped he Will
not juggle the ball again as he did in the
early innings of yesterdays battle.
President Johnson Of the American
League has ordered First Baseman Dillon,
of Detroit. suspended and fined. and Sec
ond Baseman Ryan. of the same club, fined.
This is the second time recently that the
Detroit aggregation has been subjected 10
a penalty for playing the kind OF a game
which Mr. Johnson frowns upon.
The Cleveland Baseball Club has pur-
chased the release of Third Baseman Tam
sett and Outhelder Jones from the Rome.
n. ", club. Both will be seen I'm to-day's
two games. There has been a slight shake
up i'm the team. Charlie Frisbie being re-
leased and Catcher Spies being given 10

while Genins will go TO left. and Tamsett
will be seen at third.
