PHILADELPHIA. Pa. July S.-Not
In years has so much interest been
manifested in a fight in the east as IL
shown in the contest to be pulled of
here tonight between Bob" Fitzsim-
mons and philadelphia Jack" O'Brien.
This will be the most important fight
in the history of O'Brien's ring career.
The Quaker fighter. since his first trip
to England several years ago, has made
rapid strides toward the top Of the
pugilistic ladder. and many good judges
of pugilism today believe him, next to
Jeffries to be the greatest fighter In
tire world. In Fitzsimmons he will
meet the best man ne has ever faced In
the ring and he will have to do even
better work than he did against kid"
Carter and Marvin Hart II ne gets a
decision over the veteran.
Both men appear to be in the pink Of
condition. O'Brien says he win win on
points. Fitxsimmons, on the other
hand, says the contest will not go the
six rounds. meaning that he will win
by a knockout. The advance sale Of
seats has been the largest in the his
tory Of boxing In Philadelphia, which is
an indication that there will be rec
ord breaking attendance. The fight will
be pulled of under the glare of electric
lights at the Philadelphia baseball park.

MUCH MONEY
WAS UP
Phil Dryer Stepped in and Called
OFF a Foolish
OArn

Had 1t not been for the interference
of p. J. Dwyer. who believes he acted
for the best interests Of the American
turf. Stuyve. belonging to F. r. Liant
ernman, and Sheriff Bell, owned by
Morris I. Hayman, would have been
matched for the most sensational race
ever known in this country.
John w. Gates offered to bet $4,000
that Sheriff Bell would defeat Stuyve,
and Joseph Yaeger. the latest aspirant
for honors as a turf plunger. promptly
accepted. promising to wager 10000
and as much more as Mr.. Gates and his
friends cared to place in jeopardy.
His proposal to make a match race
for great stakes came as a result OF
the sixth race at Gravesend last Satur-
day. Sheriff Bell. carrying 116 pounds
was the favorite at odds Of 2 to 1, and
he carried large sums belonging to the
Gates contingent. stuyve. carrying lis
pounds. was the well-played third
choice in the contest. As good as s to
was quoted by the bookmakers
against the chances of Stuyve.
Although he IL a good loser, Mr..
Gates found much fault with the way
the favorite was handled. He made
loud expression OF the opinion that the
race was not logical, and that in q
match race over the same distance-a
mile and Observation-Disclosures as they
were Saturday, the result would be re-
versed. Mr.. Gates has been accused
of wanting to bet a million dollars on
various things. He announced last
Saturday that he would bet $50, 900 that
Sheriff Bell could defeat Stuyve.
Yaeger heard the Gates challenge
and he called the Chicago millionaire
to one side and said to him: "Mr.
Gates, I will take that bet OF yours.
But what Is the use of 'piking? Why
not make the race for 800, 900 and have
Il interesting?"
The owners OF the two horses were
willing to have the match 20 through,
and suggestions were made to the
management Of the Gravesend track.
p. J. Dwyer. the principal stakeholder
OF the company owning the track. i'm
mediately vetoed the plan. He referred
to Sheriff Bell and Stuyve as second
rate horses Mt the best, and added that
match races between selling platers ID
bad for the turf and that nsational
wagers. such as Mr.. Gates and Mr..
Yaeger proposed making, were worse.
