FITz IN FINE FORM.
Knocked Out the Syracuse Giant in
the Second Round.

New York, May AT the Hercules
Athletic club last night, Bob Fitzsim-
mons proved that he is far from being
a dead one" In less than two rounds
he knocked out Ed Dunkhorst, the Syr-
acuse giant,a feat which other and big
ger men found impossible. Fitz showed
that his wonderful powers have not for
saken him and was as lively on his feet
as ever, but had little time in which to
display the fact. The bout was booked
to go % rounds. Fitz was cheered lust
lily when he entered the ring.
Dunkhorst was attended by Tommy
Ryan, Jack Jeffries and Dan Johnson.
The lanky fellow was looked after by
Ernest Roeber. Jeff Thorne and Dan
Hickey. DunkhOrst looked to weigh
fully 26O pounds and was very fat. Bob
looked fit and weighed about 10
pounds. When they shook hands it was
seen that Dunkhorst was the taller by
at least two inches.
AS the bell rang, Dunkhorst assumed
a crouching position. Fitzsimmons
walked around him for a brief second
and hooked a left that raised a lump
under Eds right eye. He landed an
other of the same kind a second later
and then drove his left hard to the wind
and ducked right swing for the head.
Dunkhorst landed a light left to the
face and F'itzsimmons closed the round
with left and right to the body.
| Dunkhorst opened the second round
with a left to the face and Bob hooked
his left to the jaw and ducked Eds re-
turn. Fitz took another jab on the
mouth, but only smiled and ripped right
| and left to the stomach. Two more lefts
| to the stomach, followed by a right,
made the giant wobble. Fitzsimmons
measured him coolly and then hooked
| his left flush to the mark and Dunk
/ horst went to the floor with a crash It
was fully a minute before his seconds
could raise him to his feet and mean
while F'itz was cheered wildly by the
/ crowd Time of round, two minutes,

coCHEMs' STRENGTH RECORD.
Former Wisconsin Athlete Puts Fig
ure Far From Previous Marx.

Boston. Mass, May III F. Cochems
of Wisconsin, who held the strength
record at Harvard at recent intercol-
legiate contest methods by making a
total of 1,761.4 points, broke this record
Saturday in the Hemenway gymnasium
by making a total of 1909 points. He
gained most in his legs, lifting $50 kilo-
grams.
Cochems came from the University of
Wisconsin and has made himself prom
inent at Harvard in athletics and de-
batting. He is a powerfully built fellow
and at present holds the shot record, al
though he is barred from intercollegiate
competition by the athletic committee.
The fact that c. A. Carver of Yale
last tuesday made a record of 1,754
points, breaking Yale's former record
and falling only a FEW points below
Cochen1s', probably led the latter to try
for a new mark Cochems has done
no real training for this test, but says
that with three weeks training he ought
to make 1000 points.

Mesmerist is not greatly feared by east
ern owners, and that horses are coming
west which are considered superior to the
son of Albert.
Among the owners who assured Starter
DWyer they would race their DERBY can

liam Oliver, with All Gold: Green B Nor
ris. with GOldone and Pupil, P j. DWyer,
with Hammock and WitherS, Lewis El-
more, with Sarmatian, and William Lake
land, with Ten Candles.
While it has been a sure thing ever since
the entries were announced that there
would be eastern horses in the American
Derby, it has been, until DWyer returned,
doubtful whether more than one or two
would start. Indications at the present
than even the officials of Washington
park expected.
Much as Lieutenant Gibson is now con-
sidered to have been a partially overwrit-
ten and overadvertised colt, fasteners be-
lieve Mesmerist is rated above his real
count that MesmeriSt has not been in the
east, and may be somewhat moderated by
the astute men of the New York tracks.
The hobby of the hOrsemen who nave
been around New York during the spring
work is Green B. Morris Pupil. Dwyer
says they all agree that Pupil is q great
colt, and predict easy victories for him In
many of his stakes. The fact that Nor
ris viii bring him west rather than hold
him in New York is not considered any
lack of confidence on the part OF his

be likely colt, and one that may show
great form by the time the America

NINE STARTERS CERTAIN.
Field For the Kentucky Derby Next

son to believe that the following horses
viii face the starter next Thursday in the
Kentucky Derby: Lieutenant Gibson, F.

izar, Flaunt, Highland Lad, Kentucky
Farmer and Orontas.
Direct word from the owners Of all of
these horses was that barring accidents
all would try for the stake. The track
is lightning fast and It Will take several
days Of hard rain to hurt it. Every horse
looked on as a probable starter is in the
prime OF condition, and on paper the
race should be a great one.
Lieutenant Gibson is still a hot favorite
and will in all likelihood go to the post
at odds-on. F. W. Brode and Thrive
probably will be about even second
choices, while F'launt, His Excellency
and the Scoggan pair-F'lorizar and High
land Lad-will be backed by a world of
local money.

have arranged this affair for the spe-
