FITz MAY FIGHT GARDNER.
Bout to Come Or at Fort Erie in Oc-
tober,

Jack Herman. matchmaker of the Inter-
national A. c. of Fort Erie. who Is in Chi
cago, says that before the present month
has expired he will have arranged a
twenty-round contest between Bob Fltz-
simmons and George Gardner also that
the mill will take place at Fort Erie prob
ably the latter part of October. Herman
yesterday had long talk with Andy
Craig, Gardeners manager. who authorized
him to go ahead and arrange the mill.
Craig, few weeks ago, posted $1,000 In
New York city as forfeit, but to date the
money has not been covered.
Gardner says he will fight Fitz at 1G5
pounds. This Is a weight which many Of
the Cornishman's friends believe he cannot
make, unless he amputates leg or an arm.
When Lanky Bob returned from the Pa
cific coast recently he weighed himself, und
the scales registered 200 pounds. This is
more than the ex-champion ever weighed
In his career. FftZ, however. says that he
can reduce to 165 pounds, and to 1873 If
necessary. Herman Is prepared to give a
purse of $4,000 for the encounter.
