FitZSimmOns and Gardner Are
Likely to Meet.
Early Match Between the Two
Seems Assured.
ABOUT 20 ROUND BOUT
At the Fort Erie Club for a
Purse of $500
Both Men Claim to Be in Pink
of Condition.

New York, July ga fight between
George Gardiner. light heavyweight
champion Of the world, and Robert Fitz-
simmons is now practically assured.
Gardiner, through his manager, Andy
Craig, has posted 81 900 forfeit to bind
the match. Fitzsimmons has said in
San Francisco that he will accept Gard
iner's challenge, and the battle will
probably be pulled off at the Interna-
tional Athletic club at Fort Erie on
Labor day.
Craig said:
Gardner is ready to fight at any
time Fitzsimmons has been sidestep-
ping him right along, but 1 think this
will bring the Cornishman to terms.
Gardner will fight for twenty rounds or
twenty-five, and will box before the club
offering the best Inducements.
Jack Hermann, manager of the Fort
Erie club, has offered a $4,000 purse
for the CO. and. has assured me that il
the match goes there he will post a for
felt as soon as the terms are arranged.
I see FitzSimmons says there must
be side bet. Well. We'll accommodate
him on that, all right. I'll back my
man TO the limit
It's up to Fitzsimmons now. My
money is up, and money talks. If he
means business. let him come forward. .
Fftzsimmons. when seen by a COR
respondent at James J. JeffrieS' training
quarters at Hardin Springs, Cal, said:
L will meet Gardiner just as soon
after the Jeffries-Corbett fight as I can.
l would like to have the fight take place
the same week, but. of course, it can't
come off in San Francisco. 1 will go
east after the fight, August IA, and draw
up articles to fight Gardiner. I will in
sist upon a side bet.
I have received more good out of my
work with Jeffries than 1 ever could
/ have had with crops of fifty sparring
partners. / believe I have done equally
| as well as JeffrieS. and he is feeling in
/ superb shape at present
of course, I think Jeffries will win.
can't figure how Corbett can possibly
| become a champion.
Il would like to step into the ring with
/ Gardiner this minute. They say I am
too old All their talk is nonsense. Each
year 1 grow older I grow wiser, and L
know more about the fine points of the
game than I ever knew. This Cali
fornia air is great. 1t makes you big
and strong and puts different kind of
! life in you. 1 feel 100 per cent better
now than before I came here.
We'll, about my fight with Gardiner.
AS 1 said, I'll meet Gardiner. 1 hear
/ that the Fort Erie Athletic club is will
ing to offer a purse of $4,000 for fight

swallowed a pin. The roy is 5 or years

swallow or two he stopped and with a.
frightened look informed his mother that
he had swallowed the pin. She looked in
his mouth and could not see the pin and

stuck to his throat. In the hope of caus-
ing him to vomit 1T up she ran her finger
down his throat. The boy gagged, the
pin was loosened. but went down instead
of rising. DR.. Jim Reid was called, but

Jeffries Hurts Himself

San Francisco, Cal, July 25.-One of
Champion Jeffries favorite games is
handball, but he will keep out of the
courts at Hardin Springs for a few days
at least. When playing a lively game
with Jack Scan1on Jeff had to extend
himself to connect with a low ball, slip
ped and fell on his right knee, skinning
it badly This would have dampened
the ardor of most men, but jeff kept on
playing, and in rush to take the ball
off the wall he slipped and fell a second
time and skinned the other knee. Then
he called the game off and went to his
training quarters for repairs.
