Childish Contention.

Fights are being held in Philadelphia
pretty near every night If the mayor
and those who approached him yesterday
don't know that in every one Of them
each fighter tries 10 knock out his oppo-
nent, then they should hire nurses to
walk through the streets with them to
see that they do not get run over by
the street cars.
Their caliber and sincerity may be
judged when it IS remembered that they
allowed the promoters 70 spend between
500 and $l.e0J in preparation for the
event without intimating that they
should go SOW. as the fight night not
be held. Also, about a thousand follow
ers OF pugilism from New YORK. Balti-
more and other cities were allowed 70
spend their money for railroad fare and
undergo other expenses without the

Did Not Act Squarely.

There was ample opportunity TO give
fair notice that the fight could not be
held If the mayor had acted squarely
in the matter he would have been placed
merely IN the light of one who is op-
posed to boxing matches. and the pro-
motors would have had no kick coming.
Instead. he chose 10 wait until the
courts adjourned. ordered the fight stop
ped, and then went off TO the coIftry
where he could not be reached.
The action Of the Rev Charles l. Sea-
shOles Of the Third Baptist Church, who
represented the Ministerial Union. also
needs explanation. He had known Of
the fight as long as thu weakened
mayor. but instead Of starting a public
agitation and trying TO have the bout
stopped IN the regular way. he also
waited until the last moment. when he
could step into the limelight and assure
himself Of seeing his name IN all the
papers. The contention Of the reverend
gentleman was that the fight could be
prohibited because Fitzsimmons had de-
clared he would knock out O'Brien.
wherefore it would be a priZafight and
not a sparring argument. The mayor
who needed this specious plea stultifed

PHILADELPHIA, July 9.-That the

Of as underhand work as the men who
occasionally fake fights is the general
opinion among those who have studied
the situation resulting from the calling
off OF the -Fitzsimmons fight
last night
on all sides the sentiment expressed
by sporting men, and even by those
who are not in sympathy with them. Is
that the mayor of Philadelphia took his
stand at the last moment either for
supposed political effect or TO obtain
personal spite against the "EVenina
Telegraph" whose sporting editor WIS

be taken Of the case when it is remem-
bered that the fight has been widely
advertised for weeks and has been I'M
