CHAMPIONSHIP FIGHT AND
THE MEN WHO BATTLED

rs brawny Bob Fitzsimmons cham
pion in the boxing world, or has
q Jeffries burst out with another great
win and retained the belt? This is
the question the sporting public of Ho-
noluIu would like Mr.. Marconi to an

If dreams come true there is now. a
new heavyweight champion of the
world. In what little betting done on
the es-Fitzsimmons fight UP to
the time the last mail left the man with
the s'hunch'' and the man who saw
Fitzsimmons win in his dreams had
been much in evidence.
Sporting men acknowledge they do
not know how Fitzsimmons, taking in
to consideration the disparity in the
size of the boxers and the difference
in their ages, could hope to defeat jeff
ries Still, there was something in the
air which made the men interested in
boxing look for the unexpected to hap
per when the rival heavy weights met
in the ring. es
Jeffries was an overwhelming favor
tie in the betting, which showed the
confidence his hackers had in his abil-
ity TO defend his title to the champion
ship.
Jeffries would surely outweigh his OPP
ponent fifty pounds. This. coupled with
his remarkable Quickness for a big man
and a pull of nearly fifteen years in
age, was W hat the champions hackers
counted on to bring them back their
money and something in addition con-
trioated by the admirers of Fftzsim-
mons.
The latter had trained under ideal
conditions and insisted he had not been
in snch trim for a fight in many years.
His age rests lightly on his broad
shoulders. In TINS particular it seemed
impossible to 5rdSe him with any other
athlete prominently before the public
in any line OF sport.
NJ W W Naughton the well known
sporting writer says: III the boxing
indulged in by Bob FJtzsimmons this
afternoon afforded any inkling Of the

:, That is the size of the ring we are

FilzsiIlzao1s considers a twenty-four-

striving against the man an inch or two
taller and probably sixty pounds heaV-

gloves afforded substantial proof, how
ever, that he regarded the regulation

have championship fights. He sat in

This will be circus day in Montgomery. The Elks Burlesque Circus Is coming to town. The grand, gorgeous, gigantic and glittering parade will pass through the streets at Il o'clock this morning and those who have smiles to smile or laughs to laugh are urged to get standing room on the sidewalks down town early in the game.
 The skyscraping giraffe. the ferocious lion and the other untamed animals" guaranteed to cause thrills as they pass through the streets in gilded cages this morning. A unique band of music will lead the parade. The director of the cir GUS says that this band will discourse real music and he ought to know.
 As this is the greatest circus on earth it claims the right to depart from cus- tom, and there will not be perform ance Immediately after the big pa rade.". The first performance will take place at the Montgomery Theatre at $50 o'clock tonight and the members of the local lodge of Elks declare with genuine earnestness in their voices that now is the time to buy tickets" They say that a few choice seats have been left and they will be on sale at the box ofnce of the theatre in E.

 It is going to be rather difficult to make the Schley matter a political question, if Anybody has that purpose in view. Schley Is a Democrat, and his leading counsel Mir Rayner, is a Democrat But some of his strongest supporters are Republicans. One of his most steadfast friends and supporters is The Baltimore Republican, a Republican paper. Another friend is The Chicago Record Herald, also strong ly Republican, whose editor, Mir Kohl saat, stood close to President Mckinley and Senator Hanna. The Record-Herald expresses the hope that President Roose- velts vigor will relcnt before he attempts to reprimand every person in the repub- lie who has dared to express an opinion one way or the other on the controversy and winds mp an editorial by saving: Now. let Congress ignore all other rela- tions in regard to the matter, vote Schley sword like Dewey's, and may the foul tiend fly away with the man or the officer who seeks to make personal capital by keeping the country stirred up over q dead issue The paper regards the ques- ton of command at Santiago as inevi- tably settled.

What Might Be Said of Sampson.

Des MOines Deauef.
 A strong bill of indictment might be made against Sampson. His tardy and ineffective cruise. resulting only in the destruction of the Matanzas mule. was at slower pace than Schley's voyage from Key West to Santiago. And it was positive fault that he took away the fast cruiser New York without jus tifying cause at a critical time in the Santiago blockade. In fact. there has never been a General or Admiral whose entiFe conduct was free from all censure, or at least in which critical experts could not sind flaws. Nelson's first ren"wn came of disobeying the order of supe- rior officer.

Democratic boomers should be chopped off short in their efforts to boom men like Schley and Miles for d Presidential can ddacy in 1904. Dewey suffered at the hands of this same class of mistaken en- thusiasts and the lesson taught in his case should be needed by the principals in this latest movement. Regardless of whether Schley has suffered an injus- tice or Miles has been rebuked with a bitterness beyond his deserts the move ment by their misguided friends is a most foolish one. The Presidency of the United States Is not consolation prize.

inaamed you have rumbling sound

and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
