FITZ ON WARPATH.
Anxious to Have Truth Brought Out
About Big Fight.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 27.-Fitzsim-
mons is determined to settle the ques-
,tion of whether Friday nights fight was
n fake He retained the services of
Reuben II. Lloyd, one OF the foremost
San Francisco lawyers, and was eager
to bring II libel suit for 100000 against
the newspapers which charged him with
taking the fight.
Lloyd told him, however, he never
could get any satisfaction in this way.
and advised him TO appeal to Mayor
Schmitz, who is the only man in au-
thority accepting the fake theory, to
settle the matter by taking testimony in
the regular judicial way and then de-
Gliding the question himself.
Fitzsimmons was drafting a letter to
the mayor today, and Jeffries will send
one at the same time, making the same
appeal. If the mayor accepts, Fitzsim-
mons is positive that he will be acQut-
ted, as no one can be found to give any
real facts in regard to a prearranged
plan between the fighters, while all the
facts in regard to the betting are against
the cry.
If the mayor refuses this. Fitz can de-
clare that that official is afraid to make
an investigation, as he knows this
charge is flimsy.

Will Fence With Local Cracks.

The fencing exhibition to be given to-
night at Masonic Temple by Prof.
Genoroso Pavese, of Baltimore. present
holder Of the Richard x. Fox diamond

cidedly interesting.
The professor will be prepared to meet
all comers in either the French or 1tal-
ian schools of fencing. and he hopes 20
demonstrate the superiority OF the latter
style. He is especially desirious OF
meeting Prof. Darieulat. a well-known
local fencing master. and will fence
him either for money or glory.
He will bring with him some of his
crack pupils. who will give exhibitions
of their work. The visitors will include
Messrs Delloschy. Tyler. Conradt. and
Cinquegraner, and Or. o. C. Stewart.
Another OF his pupils, Mrs. \. S.
Watson. acknowledged to be one Of the
best fencers In the South, will also ap
pear and give exhibitions of her skill
with foils and saber. Mrs. Watson has
challenged five young ladies of Anlapo-
lis to meet her with the foils.
Pref. Pavese has planned big fenc-
i;g tournament to be held at Baltimore
next fall. He will extend invitations to
all the big clubs of the country to make
entry. and expects the affair 10 last
about three days.

DIED ON THIRD BASE.
Young Lawyer Succumbs While Play

WHITE PLAINS, n. Y, July 81
Hiram Haviland. young lawyer of
Patterson. dropped dead today at Ka-
tonah. during baseball game, in which
the contesting teams were the Patterson
Stars. of which Mr. Haviland was cap

captain by Thaddeus Green.
At the end of the seventh inning the
Katonahs led by a score of to s..
Haviland, with one man on base, hit the
ball for three bases. When he got to
third base he dropped limp and lifeless.
No one noticed his fall, as the crowd
supposed he had dropped from exhaus-
lion.
William Jones almost Immediately
afterward made a hit. which the third
baseman attempted to field. He had not
paid any attention to Haviland. who. he
supposed was lying on the base in order
to regain his breath and strength. The
ball WIS thrown home by the fielder,
who expected that Haviland would try
and reach the home plate.
Hayiland failed TO move. The third
baseman. Alfred Collins, found he was
dead. The game then ceased. Several
doctors in attendance at the game pro-
nounced the cause of death heart
disease.
Mr.. Hsviland was graduate of Co

account of the attack on a caravan at
the foot of the Hjebel Moumen. which

The caravan. which was composed of
eight persons, had encamped for the
night Everyone was sound asleep, when
they were suddenly attacked by a band
of fifteen robbers. One man only es-
capped. The other seven were massacred
This happened at almost the Identical
spot where, n month ago. five other
travellers were murdered. 1t is feared

LAWYERS DOWN CLERKS.
Win Out in Eleven-Inning Contest by
One Run.

After eleven stubbornly contested in
nings the Lawyers defeated the Clerks
in the game of baseball played Saturday
on the Georgetown University field. In
only three innings did each team score.
The Lawyers opened up in the first
by sending one man across the plate.
They did not score again, however, un-
til the eighth, when Mr.. Bishop of the
receiving end OF the Clerks battery was
seriously disabled.
During that inning the disciples of
Blackstone scored four times and Sc
cured lead which the Clerks were never
able to overcome.
The Clerks did not score until the
third. when a punching of hits sent
three of the pencil pusher3 across the
home plate In the fourth and fifth in
nings the Clerks again scored. After
that they were unable to tally again.
and this. with the disadvantage of the
injury TO Mr.. Bishop. resulted in their
defeat by score of 6 TO j.
Attorneys Alexander H. Bell and a.
E. Shoemaker umpired the game. The
lineup OF the teams and the score by
innings is as follows:

rough house and bad scare at the end
of today's game. which marked the loss
of the first series OF the year by the
Champions Clarke was hit several times
In the face and the shower of bricks
and clubs slightly injured a number of
other players.
The riot platoon from the police head
quarters got the visitors off the field
after thirty minutes hard work. in which
many heads were clubbed and three ar
rests were made. The assault was the
result of an exceptionally dirty article
OF ball put up by the Champions in their
games here.
To be beaten two games in 4 row was
an unappreciated novelty to the Pirates
and when the third defeat and the loss
of the series became inevitable today
the leaders employed their roughest
tactics.
In fielding out. Clarke at third Hart
man was compelled to jump over the
runner, touching him as he did so to
avoid the spikes. This, following what
appeared to be deliberate attempt TO
injure Arthur Nichols. set the crowd
wild, and thereafter every move of the
visitors was hooted and jeered.
Clarke himself started the flame by
coming back at the bleacherites in no
pink tea language. At the conclusion of
the game 1000 sun-seat fans waited for
the Champions. AS they approached
their bus a young man rushed up to
Clarke and struck him twice squarely in
the face.
Immediately stones. bricks and clubs
flew in reckless profusion through the
air. The Pirates made no attempt at
retaliation. which probably averted
more serious incident. The police finally
beat the crowd back and the visitors
were permitted to drive rapidly for their
hotels.
