FitZsim mons Talks of His
Fighting Plans.
is Training for CoughIin and
Several Others.
HE is AFTER CORBETT.
Thinks There Would Be No
Doubt of the Result.
Would Give Jack Munros
Quietus in Six Rounds.

New York, Sept. 17.-Spinning along
the Coney Island boulevard at some
thing like a twelve-mile gait this
morning, Bob Fitzsimmons was halted
with Hello from a correspondent.
Got time to tell me about your fight
plans?"he was asked.
Yes" replied the Ianky one. I'm
training for Coughlin. but I'm going in
for a lot of fighting. 1 am after Cor
bett. He's four-fiusher. He says he
wants a chance to get even for the
licking 1 gave him at Carson. He
won't have much to say when 1 get
through with him. AS for Jack Munroe,
I'll give him the whole purse any time
he stays six rounds with me- If 1 fail
to knock him out don't want cent.
I'd be ashamed to take the money.
II will fight Gardner any time at 1853
pounds, and L will put up any forfeit
they want that 1 will make the weight.
If he doesn't want that will meet him
at catch weights. 1 am the middle
weight champion of the world, and I
viii fight him for that if he wants to
fight. AS for this light heavy weight
joke, did ever ask any of the heavy
weights that / have fought to make a
weight for me? 1 won't ask Gardner
to, either. 1 will fight him at catch
weights if he won't make the middle
weight for me.
AS to Coughlin, when I sight him
will be good enough to settle his affairs.
They say he is a good man. / hope he
is. l don't want to waste any time
fighting dubs. This is a little warming
up for the fights that 1 have coming.
want to take another fall out of Rubin
before 1 stop fighting.
Its just as easy to hit these tall fell
lows as the short ones. If that Irish
giant is too tall for me will bring him
down to my height quickly enough.
That's what the old solar plexus punch
is good for
Having delivered himself of this Fitz-
simmons took a flying leap over the
fence and started for home at cross
country gait.

WHITNEY AFTER MARTIN.
Offers Clever American Boy $685. 900
to Ride for Him in United States.

New York, Sept, 17.-"SIxeets'' Martin
may return to America to ride next sea-
son. w. Q. Whitney, who will also quit
the English turf this year. has offered
the jockey SIS, 900 to be the first rider
for the stable in america. This would
bring his income UP to $4,000 a year, as
he could easily earn $4,000 with outside
mounts.
So far it is not certain that Martin
has accepted the offer, and having re-
gard to his assured position on the Eng
fish turf-a position pretty certain to
last for Iife-it seems extremely i'm
probable that he will do so. His average
of winning mounts during the present
season in England has been low, and
yet his income has been larger than
ever.
Martins success in England has fur
nished another illustration of the value
of European Endorsement In this
jockey, capable on occasions of riding a
the crest of the American wave of pop
ularity he Immediately began to forge
ahead, and, before the end of his first
season, stood in the front rank. Among
his successes may be counted the Derby,
on Ard Patrick; the Two Thousand
Guineas, on Rockland the Chester Cup,
the Royal Hunt Cup, the Glenwood and
Ascot stakes. the City and Suburban
Handicap and innumerable other races
of greater or lesser Importance.
But perhaps the greatest triumph of
his career was seen in the Eclipse Stakes
this season. when, on his old friend
Ard Patrick, he beat out the peerless
Sceptre by neck.

New England breeders meeting. the
most noteworthy case being Haw-
thorne's setback by Caspian in the 2:09

in the stretch. Caspian won, however,
while Maxine beat Hawthorne by a
couple of lengths. The judges fined
Driver Knapp $50 for not trying to win
the initial heat of the 2:S0 pace with
Claymore. Centric won the heat. but
the judges declared all bets off and aft
err that Claymore took the next two
and the race without difficulty. The
General was the choice in the 2:19 trot,
but was distanced in the first heat.
Alberto, who won the event, had to step
fast as the field was we'll punched from
start to finish. In the 2:20 trot, Jay
McGregor, after dropping the first

MRS. FRANK FOSTERS RECORD
Nineteen Firsts, Thirteen Seconds
and Ten Thirds Since Jan. 8.

New York, Sept. 17.-Mrs. Frank Fos-
ter, the 3-year-old Benstrom filly, holds
the honor of having won the greatest
number of races this year. With her
victory last week at Buffalo she has
passed the wire first 10 times since jan
uary 3, when she won her first race this
year. All her races were at six fur
longs and her special forte was the mud.
Last Tuesday she was asked to go a
mile and sixteenth, and few expected
her to go more than six or seven fur
longs. The track was just to her liking
that day and she galloped over the en-
tire distance, beating very good held.
She holds the record for the year of
having carried the lightest weight of the
year on her back. This occurred on
July 81 at Fort Erie. A little fellow
named Callahan, an apprentice, had the
mount, and he weighed in at Ga pounds.
The race was at a mile that day and
she finished second.
Beside winning 10 races she has been
second Ii times and third ten times.
Mrs. Frank Foster opened her cam
paign at New Orleans last winter and
was shipped to Bennings at the opening
of that track. After the Morris Park
meeting her owner took her to the Ca
madam tracks, where she has been cam
paigning ever since.

Racing at New York.

New York. Sept. 17.-Mud runners of
a pronounced type were in demand at
Gravesend, the heavy rain of the morn
ing having converted the track into a
slough. Only a small crowd was in at

outs. The Willow stakes, for 2-year-
olds, the stake event on the card, was
won by Marjoram. Marjoram jumped
away in front, and gradually increas-
ing her lead to the finish, won eased up

NEW PLAYER FOR HASKELL.
Wheelock, the Carlisle Indian, One OF
the Latest Arrivals.

Lawrence. Kas.. Sept. 1.-THE latest
addition to the Haskell football squad
is Wheelock, the Carlisle Indian who
made a record as tackle on the big In
dian team. Wheelock is working hard
every day. His coming gave the Has
kell stock a BOOM there is no over
supply of heavy material at Haskell
this fall. Wheelock weighs over 200
pounds and will probably be played
either at guard or tackle.
The Indians play their first game on
September 26 against the Colorado col
lege team at Colorado Springs. 1t is
hard to say how good the team will be
by that time. but it will not proba bly,
be a very hard game and the Indians
think that they can bag it without a
great deal of trouble. Their second
game will be against their old enemies,
the Kansas City Medics, at Kansas
City on October 3. This will probably
be a good game, and Coach Hernstein
will put forth every effort to have
bunch Of red men in condition to give
the doctors good struggle The game
is attracting a great deal of attention
in local football circles.
