of the AII-American Team
Event Is TC-Day's Attraction.

Yesterday was an ideal day for the trap
shooters attending the Grand Central handl-
cap tournament of the Limited Gun Club,
and the incessant crack of runs and cries
of the referee. Dead" and occasionally,
Lost" were heard until after the sun
went down. There was another long list
Of entries in nearly all the events, and as
a result only eleven of the fourteen events
were shot. The other three had to be de-
clared off.
Fred Gilbert was again the high gun, and
his work at the traps was better than his
record for the first day, when he also
carried off the high average. Gilbert was
entered in all the events yesterday, and
out of the 165 targets he missed but two.
once in the sixth event and again in the
ninth event. Phellis and Rike also made
good scores for the day.
The big ~ive-Tripp. Budd. Marshall, Fan
ming and Heikes-who were members Of the
All-American team hat shot in England
last year, shot in the same squad yester-
day and they were nearly all in bad form.
Tanning was the only member Of the five
to dust many of the targets, while Heikes
was so badly out of form he was scarcely
inside the money in most of the events.
In the tenth event he dropped to a nine
score, one OF the smallest made during the
day.
Nearly all the shooters will remain for
the Grand Central handicap, which will be
shot to-day. 1t is the chief event of the
tournament. and it is predicted that the
stake money Will be larger than any event
ever given in this city. The event is
for twenty-five pigeons, SIS entrance, nc
additional charge for birds. The entries will
not close until the firing Of the first gun on
the second round. Nearly all the visiting
shooters have already entered for this
event, and a large number of local
shooters will face the traps. The big

shooters will then leave for Kansas City.
Among the Indianapolis men who will at
tend the Kansas City tournament are r. II.

"FITZ" is TOO EXACTING
WANTS MORT THAN THE Los An
GELEs CLUB Is WILLING TO
Billy Delaney of Opinion "Lanky
Bob" Does Not Care tn Fight
the Champion Jefries.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, March 20.-Manager
McCarry, of the Century Athletic Club, re-
ceived a telegram from Fitzsimmons short
ly before noon to-day, stating the condi-
tons under which he would accept the
clubs offer to pull of the proposed fight
with Jeffries in thisc city. The text of Fitz-
simmons's message has not been given out
but it is understood he asks for 20 per cent
of the gate receipts and a guarantee of
$4,000. This combines two of the clubs
original bids of a $4,000 cash purse or 10
per cent. of the gate receipts without a
guarantee, and raises by $500 and 8 per
cent. the third bid of 20 per cent. of the gate
receipts and $4,000 guarantee.
President McCarry, Of the Century Club.
stated this afternoon that he had received
Fitzsimmons's telegram and had replied in
behalf of the club. ''~Fitzsimmons is too
exacting." said McCarry. He combines
two of our propositions and wants both.
We still think our bid of a $4,000 cash
purse is the best to be had, and perhaps
FitZsimmOns will come to see 1t that way.
We have replied to his telegram, but L am
not ready TO state the conditions made
therein. An answer is expected tonight,
however. If it comes we will know just
where we stand"
OAKLAND, Cal. March 20.-When shown
the F1tzslmmOnS statement, tnat ne Woulu
fight in Los Angeles under certain cond1-
tons, Billy clancy, Jeffries'S manager,
said: Il do not believe Fitzsimmons intends
to fight. L will not believe that he intends
to fight until he is in California. / have
not heard from Jeffries regarding the dis
patch. but L know he will be delighted and
will grab at anything that means a meet
ing with Fftzsimmons. L don't know
whether the Los Angeles club will consent
to suggestions from Fitzsimmons or not,
but l do know that they are serious and
good sporting men and will do anything fair
and within reason on their part"
NEW YORK, March O.-The telegram
from the manager of the Century Athletic
Club to F1tzsimmons stated that the fight
er would have to accept definitely one of
the bids submitted, failing to do which
the club would cancel its offers. Fftzsim-
mons shortly afterward replied to the tele-
gram, adhering to the position he had orig
inally taken and saying that the club could
either acquiesce or call its bids off.
