FIrz PLAYS GOLF.
The Lanky Australian Explains the
Game to Admirers.

Few sporting celebrities can lay
claim to the same degree of versatility
as Bob F'itzsimmons.
His long suit is, of course. prize
fighting, but at different times the
Australian has shown more than ordi-
nary ability as a wrestler. pool player
and bowler and only recently tried his
hand at golf.
"Lanky Bob gives a weird descrip-
ton OF his first attempt at the ancient
game. 1t was while stopping at Roch
ester on his return from California
after his twenty-round go with George
Gardiner that Fitz ran across a Scotch
pI OCCASIONAL, says a Lowell exchange.
In due time round of the links was
suggested. and being curious to see
what the blooming game was like,
'Lenky Bob" gave a ready assent.
The course consisted of nine holes,
and Fitzsimmons' friend, with a
twinkle in his eye, kindly offered to
keep the latter's score.

years at the anvil. served him in good
swi pes on the tees were productive of

The Scot assured F'itz that he was
doing great stunts, and when the round
was concluded Fftz inquired eagerly as
to his score.
The pro" added up the figures en-
the card and then. with an awestruck
expression on his face, replied:
Mon. you're a wonder. You made
the round in thirtZ-two strokes. That

TO CUT OUT WIND SHIELD.
Lou Dillon Will Go on Her Merits the
Coming Season.

New York, Jan. 26.-Such an extend
ed controversy has resulted over the
performance of Lou Dillon to high
wheel sulky when she trotter to beat
the record made by Maud Sand the vari-
Gus wind shield records, that when Lou
Dillon 0:5S1a) starts out on her record
breaking compaign next season her per-
Torrance will be without the aid of the
pace-maker in front.
1t is generally admitted fact that
Lou Dillon is the fastest trotter the
world has ever produced, and she does
not require the aid of an advanced rum
ner or any artificial appliances to re-
duce the record of any trotter.
c. K. 6. Billings, owner of Lou Dill
Ion, was opposed to extending the
champion last year, owing to the fact
that she was only 5 years old and that
she had done more than any other
trotter. In most of Lou billions trials
the mare finished the Hast quarter, and
some times the half, out in front
Mr. Billings is opposed to any contro-
versy over the performances of his
horses. He knows that he possesses
the greatest trotter that ever looked
through a bride, and he expects even
greater feats from her next year than
she accomplished last summer.
Many think, however, that If Lou
Dillon was sent out with only one rum
ner, and that one on the outside and
not out in front, her critics would be
silenced. There are many of Lou Dill
Ions own admirers who would like 10
see her make her miles, or at least
some of them, without the runner in
front of the dirt shield.

sULKY WASN'T BALL-BEAR1Na
A Denial That Maud s. Had Improved
Vehicle.

New York. Jan. 26.-One of the rea-
sons urged by the sons of the late
Robert Bonner to the American Trot-
ting Register association why the rec
ord of 2:05. made by Lou Dillon at
Cleveland last September when she
trotted against the 18-year-old record of
2:0SA. made by Maud S. over the same
track should be rejected was that the
high wheel sulky drawn by Lou Dillon
was fitted with bal1-bearing hubs.
Thomas Waugh, Lou Dillon's groom,
is reported to have admitted that the
sulky drawn by Mr.. Billings mare did
have ball-bearing hubs. But" he
added Maud SIS sulky had the same
things"
This statement was brought to the
attention of John Gleason. who runs a
livery stable in Port Chester. but who
for twenty years previous to the death
of Robert Bonner was the superintend-
ent of Mr.. Bonner's farm and stables
at Tarrytown. Mr.. Gleason said:
This statement attributed to Waugh
regarding the Sulky drawn by Maud S.
is absolutely false. The sulkx was
fitted with an old-fashioned friction
axle and hubs. and there were no ball
bearings about it. This know of my
own knowledge, because l have taken
the sulky apart and put it together
many times, and 1 know just how it is
made. However, the sulky is still at
the Bonner farm, and anybody who
doubts my sta cement can examine it

DISGUISED OVER AVERAGES.
Unglaub, of Milwaukee Baseball Club
Says Hickey Ia Mistaken.

Milwaukee. Jan. 26.-Bob Unglaub of
the Milwaukee club, who played third
base last season and who has been
sold to the Boston or New York Amer
lean League club, is a very Disguised
player over the averages which were
recently gotten out by ex-Presideut
Hickey of the American Association.
Unglaub in speaking of the matter
said:
Who ever heard of man having 119
putouts and $50 assists in 1O8 games at
third base? That is what Mr.. Hickey
gave me. The 119 may be all right but
the 100 assists never. A wooden man
could have made that many assists in
10S games I would not have to move
two feet in any direction to get that
number. If it was 119 put outs and $50
assists it would be more like it. Now,
imagine Catcher Sullivan of the ST.
Paul team with 270 put outs and 272
assists in $50 games and with 119 and
100 respectively. Why, it is absurd. I
batted .304 on the season, as l kept
tab from the scores. There are score
of other players who have just as big
a kick coming as myself. The matter
should be corrected where it can be,
as it is an injustice to the players to
have such averages printed and copied"
