WRITTEN FOR THE SUNDAY REPUBLIC.
Tommy Ryan and Bob Fitzsimmons fur
nished topics of conversation last week by
their sudden changes Of attitude In regard
to their respective bouts, Ryan deciding
that he did not want to meet Jack O'Brien
at Louisville, May 8, while Fftzsimmons
practically called off negotiations for his
bout with Jeffries by refusing to fight in
the only localities where the contest could
be conducted.
That FitzsImmons is afraid of Jeffries
there can be little question, judging from
his recent attitude, and however we'll
grounded this fear may be, he has acted in
a most unsportsmaniike manner by putting
clubs all over the country to the expense of
bidding for a fight which he probably never
intended to enter. His proposition TO fight
six heavy weights in England may be mere
talk or may be earnest, as F1tz knows that
the class of men In tne British heavy
weight division is but mediocre.
When Jack O'Brien was on the other side
he not only won the midole-weight cham
pionship, but he met and defeated heavy
weights as fast as they were sent against
him, and this at a time when his reputation
as a fighter was not of the highest in this
country. Ftzsimmons PROBABLY figures that
he can repeat O'Brien's performance with
the greatest ease. and ne certainly counts
on easily besting every man they could send
against him. or he Wouio not make the
proposition.
Ryan seems to have backed out Of his
fight with O'Brien by stating that he had
a previous contract with Doctor Ordway
who represents the National Sporting Club
of England. His sudden change of attitude
left the club in rather q bad position. how

realized that he had a hard opponent IN
O'Brien, and this may have affected his at
titude.
F~itzsimmons has escaped with Compare
lively light criticism, in spite of his COM
plete backdown from the fight arrange
ments. but this is because sporting writer's
and the public are so used to his incon-
~sistency that they place but little depend
cused of possessing any too much sports
manship. and his constant pickering about
trivial details has made him ar unpleas-
ant character for any club to have dealings
with.
Fftzsimmons was constantly complaining
of the hard deals he received while in the
ring, but If ever a fighter deserved to suffer
these same hardships. through his gross in

Mr.. Haywood has identified one or the

that he never heard of his brother and

CHAMPION JEFFRIEs IS FIRM.
Holder Of heavyweight Title Does
Not Care About London
Clubs Plans.

SAN FRANCISCO April 1.-THE news
that the officials of the National Sporting
club Of London have opened negotiations
with Kid Mccoy, with a view to inducing
the latter to take Jim Jeffries place
against Bob Fitzsimmons, has increased
the champions popularity in no small de-
gree.
The local sports do not believe that
JeffrieS has been properly treated in the
British club members as an attempt to
belittle the big fellow.
Since the controversy started FitZsim-
mons friends in this city have fallen
off one by one. At an early stage of the
wrangle it beams evident that the ex-
Australian was trying to dodge the issue,
and later developments have shown this
to be the case.
While this is naturally a Jeffries town,
Fitz did not lack admirers here, and
would have found plenty of backing had
he resolved to fight in California.
AS the case stands now public conf
dence in him has been shaken to such an
extent that few gamblers could be found
who would care to plunge on his chances
should he finally conclude to take on the
champion.
Jeffries was interviewed in Los Angeles
yesterday and made the following state
ment:
what the National Sporting club may
decide to do or not to do is a matter
of perfect Indifference to me- I said from
simply because there wouldn't be enough
money in it. and that goes. The fact
that the match scheduled there between
Rubin and Sharkey has fallen trough

OF ROWDY BALL PLAYER

Prominent Lovers of the National
Game Are Interested.

BALTIMORE, Md, April 16.-The Rev.
J. D. BOland, priest of st. Vincent Cath
Ole church and a director and stakeholder
in the Baltimore Baseball club, is push
ing a petition to Gov. Smith for the re-
lease from Jail of Michael J. Donlin, the
ball player now serving six months SEN
tence for striking Mrs. Minnie Fields, an
actress.
Donlin was intoxicated at the time the
assault was committed. about a month
ago. He struck the actress on the street
just after she had left the theater.
A number of well known men of this
city, lovers Of the national game, are in
terested in the movement for Donlin S
release. The plea will be made in the
petition that the player has suffered suf-
ficient punishment. He has lost lucrative
position with the Baltimore club and his
earning powers as a professional baseball
player; he has also lost much time and
is liable to a fine of $3.50 imposed by the
judge who sentenced him.
1t is to be pointed out to the governor
that similar assaults occur in every city
without such severe punishment as that
melted out to Donlin, who was somewhat
the victim of circumstances as well as

CLARKE AND LOTUS CLASH.
Captain of the Senator's May Sever
His Connection With the
American Team.

ANNAPOLIS, Nd. April 16-Manager
Tom LOTUS of the Washington American
league club and William J. Clarke cap
tain of the team, have had a disagree
ment which may result in the latters
severing his connection with the Sena-
tors.
Clarke, who jumped from the Boston
National league team to Washington last
year. started in early this spring, as
usual to coach the Princeton team.
Leaving there on April 5, he obtained the
consent of LOTUS and entered into an
agreement with Prof DashieIl of the
Naval Academy to come here and coach
the cadets for a short time.
Clarke on last Monday unexpectedly re-
ceiN ID a telegram telling him to report
at Washington on April 3, and the next
day it was followed by another, which
said: Don't fail to report tomorrow"
Clarke wired back. Am obliged to
stay here until Monday, April IA. VIII
report that day.
In reply to this, he says he was told
that if he did not report at once he
could consider his engagement off with
the Washington club.
Clarke says that although he gets $1G0
a week from the middies, he was willing
to give that up as soon as he could hon
Orably do SO and report at Washington
but he considers LOTUS action hasty
and unwarrante6, hence is no longer
bound to the Washington club
