BOB FITzSIMMONS
MAY MEET FERGUSON
The Big Chelsea ICeman Has
Been After Robert for
Some Time.

Since Sandy Ferguson whipped Joe
Walcott he has been hot after a match
with Bob FitZsimmons. The latter has
issued a challenge open to any heavy
weight in the world, and once named
Sandy as an especial target for his def.
AT the time Alec Mclean, Sandy's
manager, answered the challenge, but
there was nothing coming from Lanky
Bob but silence. Since then Mclean
has left no stone unturned to get Fitz
into a match, and now it looks as
though he has succeeded. When Rob-
ert went to Boston Mclean hung about
the royal Robert, and got him to agree
to a match. No articles of any kind
were signed, Mclean being happy to
get Fitzsimmons to even agree to meet
the Chelsea iceman, and in doing so
the former allowed the light heavy
weight champion to name almost all
of the terms.
AS things now stand, Bob will meet
Sandy probably in May. Fitz is will
ing to meet him in Philadelphia, Chi
cago or st. Louis A Philadelphia club
has offered a purse Of $4,000 for the
pair for q siX-round bout, and FitZ is
perfectly willing to go there. If the
club fails to live up to its agreement,
then Fitzsimmons is perfectly willing
that the club Offering the best induce
ment in either of the two other cities
named can have the event.
In speaking of Ferguson, F'Itzsim-
mons gives him every credit for being
a big, strong fighter, and feels that he
is worthy of his own consideration.
Ferguson feels that he can outpoint
the Cornishman, and if he succeeds in
doing this, Jeffries will have to consid-
er him. This is looking a long way
ahead, but Ferguson feels that it is in
him to whip Bob, and is willing to take
the chance, and his manager has mon
ey to bet on the outcome.
Sandy was billed to fight Gus Rubin
in Chicago last night, but the latter
asked a postponement for at least one
week, without giving any reasons, and
Ferguson had to comply with the re-
quest.

laid up with badly injured knee, and
may not be able to get back In the
game for some time.
Shannon is down in Houston, Tex,
where the st. Louis team is doing it's
spring training, and in a practice game
the other day, he wrenched his left
knee and had to be carried from the
field. The sprain is said to be a very
bad one, and doubts are expressed as
to the former Saints ability to get
back into the game until the season is
we'll advanced.
Until the accident, which resulted in
the injury, Spike" was showing up in
excellent shape, and gave promise Of
being one Of the stars Of the aggrega-
ton from the worlds fair city this
year. The loss of his services, even
for a part Of the season, would be a
distinct handicap to the st. Louis
team.

for the Butte team in the Pacific Ma
tional league this season.
Lefty" was with the st. Paul teara
for short time, but his best work
was with Minneapolis last season. He
played with the Millers until one day,
in a game against st. Paul at Lexing-
ton park, he threw his arm out, and
was compelled to retire from the game
for the rest Of the season. He was
given his unconditional release by Min
neapolis, and Manager Wilmot, of the
Butte team, picked him up. -
Wilmot was manager Of the Millers
at the time Lefty was there, and
knows what he is doing in signing him.
The injured arm is once more sound,
and his many friends in st. Paul are
predicting a great season for the clever
young southpaW.

WHEELMEN OBJECT TO
DOLLAR CYCLE TAGS
Mass Meeting at Federation Hall Mon
day Night to Oppose Increase.

The bicycle riders of st. Paul are
still carrying on their fight against the
increase in the price of cycle tags
from so cents to 81, as has been pro-
posed by the side path commission,
and another mass meeting of the
wheelmen to protest against the 81
tags will be held at Federation hall to-
morrow evening.
The Wheelmen are almost a unit in
their opposition to the higher price for
tags, and every pressure will be
brought to bear upon the commission
to keep the price down to so cents, for
which the tags have been sold in the
past.
The side path commission contend
that the higher price is necessary if
the paths are to be kept in good con-
ditiOn, as enough money to carry on
the work properly cannot be secured
from the sale of tags at the present
price. Last year the sale Of tags Gre
ated a fund of $4,000, which was in
sufficient to cover the expenses of
keeping the paths in good condition.
The wheelmen contend that 81 is too
much to pay, and the members of the
side path commission have been invit-
ed to attend the mass meeting of
wheelmen at Federation hall tomor-
row night to hear arguments advanced
why the price should not be increased.
