 There is a letter at this office for Kid Lavine, or Lanime, boxer. If the Kid calls around he can ind it,
 When Jeffries agrees to certain guarantee, Fitzsimmons will sign aftl- cles. This is the latest information from the headquarters of the Cornish man at Bensonhurst. Robert possesses an eye to business and believes taal he has the big champion on the hip. F'itz knows that Jeffriess match with Sharkey will not draw ill California for the reason that the Sailor is dead card on the coast and has been one ever since Referee Wyatt Earp decided that Fitz had lost his fight with Shar- key on an alleged foul. This was such a barefaced piece of injustice that the Frisco sporting public never forgave Sharkey, though the latters manager, Danny Lynch, was the real culpflt. Fitzsimmons knows also that he is the real card and that Jeffries wants TO make match with him for this rea- son. Robert says that he and the boilermaker could draw perhaps SoO,- 900. whereas Jeff and Sharkey would be lucky to face house containing $20,OO0, if that. Accordingly, Fltz- simmons before he agrees to fight the champion again, will insist upon di- vision of the money that will insure him big slice win or lose. In order to carry his point, the Cornishman will inform the champion when he arrives that he can either give in or 'go fight Sharkey,' a proposition that Jeffries is not expected to balk over. "Jeffries is not much of q card in Frisco now be- cause he has been seen there to an ad- vantage in his recent fight with Rdb- lin, whom he whipped easily" said q Fitzsimmons supporter yesterday "Sharkey is looked upon there as q cinch for Jeff, so that their mill would not draw flies. Fitz has not been seen on the coast since he was robbed ;n the battle with Sharkey, and his ap pearance there in go with the cham pioD would attract an immense house at any old price. That is why Bob wants to get a big Whack at the money before he signs to fight. He feels that his name and reputation are worth something more than ordinary pugil- 1sts receive" In other words, E'itz will get what he wants or there will be no fight, and Jeffries is too anxious ta meet him for the looked-for gold to let bubbles interfere.
