IN THE PRIZE RING

San Francisco, Nov. 2S.--Old Bob Fitz-
simmons is In bed suffering @'om severe
cold, and his wife fears that he will be
attacked by pneumonia as the medicine
does not seem teshave helped him. Mrs.
Fitzsimmons said yesterday. over the tele-
phone, that the doctors had forbidden
Fitzsimmons to receive any callers and
that he was really worse than Thursday,
as he coughed all night. Fitzsimmons sent
out a message that he was feeling pretty
miserable. Both his hands are bandaged,
as. one knuckle of the right is broken and
the left is much fnfamed..
Fitzsimmons attributes the bad cofidi-
ton OF his hands to the heavy blows he
hit Gardner. on the nose and mouth dur
ing the fourth round blows that knocked
Gardner down and gave him a wholesome
fear of F'itzsimmotls' punch.
It has leaked out that Fitzsimmons, had
a contract for 10 per cent Of the gross re-
ceipts, also a bonus, SO he actually re-
ceived $500. This will fit up a very
swellFcafe In Chicago, which Fitzsimmons
will FUN until the worlds fair in ST. Louis
when he will open a big saloon there.

MISCELLANEOUS SPORTS:

American rating rule, which'it thinks hits
the scow type of yacht most severely, and
doubts whether any new challenger. or
defender would closely resemble, Sham

siders that the conditions will now. be
more attractive to British challengers, and
asks whether cup conditions would not
permit of smaller vessel, seventy or
seVenty-five feet on the water line. The
permitting Of a. smaller vessel the paper
says, would facilitate cup contests. Small
er and less expensive boats would be built
and raced in home waters and the best one
chosen to challenge for the Americas cup,

WEST WILL MEET EAST
Good Opportunity to Compare Two
Sets Of Athletes at 0lympian
Games.

Another golden opportunity is open to
the colleges Of the west to meet the best
men IN the east, and the opportunity will
be during the sports at st. Louis next
year. On May 80. the western intercol-
iegiate Championships will be held, and
| two weeks later, on June IL. the national
| tnterc olelgiate championships will take
place in the Stadium.
For many years western college men
have not been considered in the same class
with eastern athletes, but during the past
summer the western. college men demon
strated to the satisfaction of the. entire
country that they We're very much in the
game by the raanner9in which they cap

horse owner, Is to tour the world in
an automobile. He will make, the trip
in specially constructed machine,
handled by a chauffeur who is Har-

The trip as contemplated will take
four months. and EN- brace Europe,
Asia and Africa and the island pos
sessions Of the United States. Mr..
Smathers has long contemplated the
trip he is about to undertake. After
an unparalleled season in the running
and trotting tracks of the east and
middle west and south, where Nc
Chesney was placed at the head of. his
class in the running world, and Major
Delmar in the trotting, he looked for
ward to a period Of rest and recrea-
ton. An automobile trip around the
world offered an innovation.

SPORTS.
A NEW SENSATION
Lou Dillon Trots a Quarter to
Wagon in New York IN
1854 Seconds.
Performance Was Carefully Timed
and the Figures Are Correct
Without Question.

The way in which the, impossible is not
only being achieved. but made to seem
ordinary. by the light harness horses Of
1908, is almost past belief. The climax
has, as usual, been furnished by Lou Dill
Ion. Her performance on the New York
speedway few days ago, when she
trotted a straishtaway quarter. pulling q
four-wheeled wagon and driven Shy Mr..
Billings. IN the super-ph enomenal time of
0:25A, has taken, 80 to speak, the breath
away even Of those of her admirers who
have grown accustomed to saying, and be-
lieving, that there Is mo limit to her
speed"
When one stops to, think that up to a
few years ago a quarter In 0:s0, accurately
timed. was considered a wonderful thing;
that tho horses which had ever trotted
one faster than that, In public, could be
counted on the fingers Of one hand. and
that when. a year ago, at Memphis. Sir
Albert paced the first quarter Of a half
mile dash in 0:2S1s. horsemen were aston
tshed, what this quarter Of Lovely Lou g"
in 0:25A really means begins to be appar-
ent. Reduced to cold figures, it means
the rate of 1:43 for mile: In other words,
q high rate of running horse speed. and
the fact that is that, before it was done,
II anyone had advanced the idea that even
Lou Dillon could do it, he would have been
considered brain cracked. The best quar-
ter she had ever previously trotted, to her
spider web twenty four pound sulky, with
Willard Sanders up, was but 0:2SA, yet on
this last occasion she drew wagon
weighing about forty-nine pounds with
four wheels, while Mr.. Billings. as he sat
behind her, must have weighed close to
ITO pounds, or twenty pounds more than
the trotting rules require. .sr III
It Is all these things, in their total,
which are SO staggering. But there is no
doubt about the time. The quarter was
carefully tagged and the watches In the
hands Of experienced horsemen. Even the
mossbacks and mugwumps of the trotting
world, who have been startled out of their
somnolence by the doings of 1903, and are
now busy trying to carp at and discredit
the record breakers Of this season. will
have no chance to bubble at 1t. Simply.
1t is a new criterion for the estimation Of
the trotting limit by which, as at a. bound,
almost half the distance which has been
separating the trotter from the runner has
been traversed. -
