F1rzs1MMoNs MISSED IT.

The clinehing of d match between Jehries and kuhlln for a hght at Gin ctnnati in February makes another meeting between the champion and tlthSlmmCuS remote possibility. There was d time When E'itZsimmoES by his apparent sincerity of purpose made JeureS look as if he dId nos Want to light. That was the time that i'itz, after whipping both Ruhlm and SIarkey inside Of two weeks, issued d challenge to Jeffries to meet him in New York on August 80. Ine cham picn, through his manager. declined, after he had challenged i'itzsimmons t"'o weeks before. Then the Cornish man announced his retirement from the ring. With the repeal of the box iHg law ill this state another battle between Jeffries and FitzsimmonS seemed out of the question because of thc lack of suitable battle ground, uu- II May or EIeiScllmann of Cincinnati anEounced that lie would grant a per init for q tWenty-round heavyweight championship encounter. If Fi+ZSun- 1pOIS really wanted a chance to regain his lost laurelS this seemed to be the opportunity. JeffrieS was willing to take Oll the COrniShman and said sc. i1JI. however. declared that he had retired. and lie would not huGg an inc' from he resolution. So .itttrieS h.iri rally tCOk on the next pest man in Gus Ruhlin. Fitzsimmons' atti- tude has surprised many of his most enthusiastic followers, who in spite of his defeat at the hands of JefiriCS have clung to the belief that he is still the greatest puEilist in tue world. Fitz,S story that he was 'dOped' in his mill 1n !, aS true by insiders, convinced many that there Was ground for it. This hclef was intensified by the remark able shoWin" hy FitZSimmons against Euhlin and Sharkey. Men who had seen the COrniShnan in all his battles since arriving in this country said at the time hat they never had found Fitz in such superb physical condition. For that reason the impression took rCot tEat in another fight with .JeffricS the lanky Australian would make d far better showing. The way Fitz t"Inmed Ruhlin, d man built on the .ICffricS plan and almost as clever as the hoilermakcr. increased the belief that another meeting between Fitz and
 '2H would not be a Walkoyer for the latter With FitZ out of it now, though. IL remains for Jetfries to dispose of t"J'1t Ill snort Gfuef or have his rep ulatlon as champion shattered. Fitz- summons knocked Ruhlin out in six rounds. JGffrics has already fought a tWenty-round draw with Ruhlin. Fitz tumlled Sharkey out in two rounds

BASEBALL NOTES.

It appears to be a question whether the American league can locate at Philadelphia after all. Johnson and his friends received a setback at the hands of l.le Philadelphia city council on "Wednesday when that body decided not to pass an ordinance leasing the plot of ground at TwentysiXth and Jefferson streets to the American organization for S1 900 Il year. The council heard a number of protests against leasing the property for base ball purposes and after a lengthy dis cusSion decided to defer action until the next meeting in two weeks. John son says that if he does not get this location he can have another just as suitable. He also declares that he has not selected the fourth city in the eastern end of the circuit.
 Following the removal of Harry 1uilinm from the pittSDurg baseball club comes the news that the energetic Barney DreyfusS has been dep0scG from the presidency of that organiza- ton. DreyfuSS is the largest inai- vidual stockholder in the club. but W. w. Kerr and r. l.. Auten hold 5O1 shares of the capital stock of 1.G00 and are therefore in control. Kerr and Auten intend to direct the policy of the club in the future. Last year PittsburG made S40,000 with Dreyfuss at the helm. He sold out his holdings ill the Louisville club and took with him to Pittsburg Players Clarke. Wagner, Leach, Philippe and others who made the Smoky City team tl:e most successful that has ever repre- scented that town in any professional league. DreyfusSs and pulliam handled the club so cleyerly tEat their removal is hj,s S;1Trlr.iSn IlrpyfIlcc will ra- tain his stock, but wifi have no say in the management. Pulliam is out of the club altogether. Kerr and Anten are solid business men, and it is said that they have decided to take a hand in the game of league politics that Dreyfuss has been playing with number of magnatcs.

en out few wrinkles and it is safe 10 say he did more than that. He is a big fellow and rolled about last night like q big salmon in shoal. If the ball came his way he would pass it, but when it came to a miX-up or dash after the ball, Mir Roberts was counted out. The crowd did not know how to take the big fellow. They wanted to howl for Higgins to come back into the game, but they did not dare to. They had read somewhere that Rob- erts is q mighty rush, of the Hipson stamp, if not more so. They had also read that one of his legs is weaker than 1t really used to be and that he is favoring it. So the crowd held it's peace. They did more than that; they applaUded Roberts every time he twisted his stick or pushed one skate before the other. Something about the man, however, did not fail to give the impression of immense power. and the chances are that when he and HipSon get to pulling together Lewiston will open up to him as it has to other play -

NEW CUP DEFENDER.
Casting of Lead Keel May Begin
 To-day.

Providence, l.. l., Dec 21.-William Butler Duncan. Jr, the manager of the new cup defender Which is 10 be built at Bristol, spent yesterday morning at the Herreshotfs' yards.Mr Duncan ar rived shortly after $ o'clock, had long talk with Nat HereshoF and looked over the preparations being made for the casting of the keel of the new boat. He examined the wooden mold as it lay banked up with tons of lOam about it's sides and ends, watched the operations on the bending tables ill the blacksmith. department, and then took q look at the sail depart ment, where the sails are being made.
 He was reticent when asked Ques- tions about the new boat He said that there was nothing to say, further than that a little work had been accom- pliShed. Asked when the keel would be cast, he made no definite reply, and when asked if on Saturday, he said: Probably He smiled when the Law son boat was referred to, but when asked about the Boston boat coming into the race with the Bristol boat, he said he knew absolutely nothing about it. ~" D|
 It is very likely that the casting of the lead keel will commence today, as everything seems to be ready Tor the running of the metal. The lead bars have been taken from the wharf to the shop. and the, pipes for convey ing the smoke and gases from the shop were rigged yesterday.
 It is the general impression that the entire quantity of lead that goes into the keel is to be melted, but such is not the fact. Fully q third of the pigs will be set in bulk. Then the remain der will be melted and poured over them.
 A report has been published that the planking of the lead keel would run up and down instead of lengthwise The mould. however, is like that used for the Columbia with the planking running lengthwise. the whole mould being shaped like q. skiff or an ordi- nary boat

PROBABLY ANOTHER FAKE

Many sporting men have been under the impression that all was not right with the JeffrieS-Corbett fight held at Coney Island last summer John l.. Sulliya4's partner. Brooklyn Jimmy Carroll, said the other night: There was an agreement between the men that Corbett should stay twenty rounds. Corbett wanted to show the public that he could box better than any other man fn the world. and with that reputation he could go on the road as an actor again. .Jeffries did not try to do thing until after twenty rounds had been fought. Then. it will be re membered, he forced the fight and there was nothing to it. He got to Corbett even though. the latter ran away as fast as he could. and when Jeff put his left to the jaw it was all off In my opinion Corbett could not last half q dozen rounds with the champion if the latter went out to win from the first tap of the gong FitZ- simmons took all the real fighting stamina out of Corbett at Carson '' Whether there is anything in this statement or not. it will be recalled that there was much betting on Cor hetrs ability to stay certain number of rounds.

 The game opened with q rush and it took Wodtke S:5S minutes to place the first ball for Hartford behind Hefer- nan. There was no more scoring in the first period.
 The second period was Meriden' s, the home players having everything their own way. Curtis caged three and Pierce two before the Fartfords had q chance to smell of the bail.
 In the last peBiou Cotter left the floor and Doherty went to center and Main came on and took bohertys x place at half back. This period saw some giltedged juggling by Nodtke Curtis and Pierce. but Mcridcn had the better of the game. and caged three more. while Wodtke and Schitfrr put the ball to sleep for Hartford.
