The Famous Trainer Gives Views of
Coming Contest.

Mt. Vernon, n. Y, Dec. 20.-PrOf.
VIM. MuldoOn, the well known physl-
cal instructor, who has trained and
studied many prize fighters in his day
and who runs big sanitarium on the
outskirts of White Plains has given
his views on the chances. of Bob Fitz-
simmons giving Jack O'Brien knock
out blow in their coming fight in San
Francisco next wednesday night.
Professor MuldOOn declared that
Fftzsimmons is not too old to fight, be-
cause he is in perfect health and fine
physical condition, and picks F'itz for a
winner.
These are his views:
81 don't think that the age of Bob
Fitzsimmons will have any effect on
him in his fight with O'Brien- I saw
him just before he went TO san Fran
cisco, and he was then in perfect
health. I don't think speed will count
so much in this fight as the Wallop,
although YOU viii find that F'itzsim-
mons will be just as speedy as his OPP
ponent.
''Fitz is not so old as some persons
make out. He is only 4 2 years of age,
and when I saw him several months
ago he looked as though he was ready.
30 Brien is a wise, clever fellow. I
don't think, however. that he is a
match for FitzsimmOns who will prove
to be too big and strong for him. Be
sides his reach is so much longer. too.
Age should not count in a fighter.
Where it does affect a fighter it is
because the man does not take care
of himself F'itzsimmons' retention of
health and strength is wonderful and
it is all due, as I havS said before, to
his efforts to preserve his body by not
abusing himself in any way. He is a
real fighter and not a boxer.
Though wrinkles may come in his
face, his grand shoulders stand out
and remain as strong and firm as ever.
/ 7seT,
believe. that terrible wallop which in
past fights made his name a terror to
the ringsters."

MRS. NULL TEsTIFIEs.
Tries to Explain Her Meetings With
Clyde Kelley.

Kingman, Kan, Dec. 20.-FheNun pois-
oning case is drawing to close The de-
tense placed its last witness on the stand
Tuesday afternoon and rested. The de-
PENDANT, Mrs. Null, occupied the stand
the greater part of the day and made a
good witness. Her testimony was large
" along the line of trying to explain her
meetings with Clyde Kelley and the pass
ing of notes to him after he had been dis
charged by Harvey Null. Her excuse was
that her conferences and correspondence
with him were with reference to her di-
vorce proceedings, under the direction
ford.
She claimed that the greater part of
her II years of married life she had been
overworked. and in consequence her
health had been broken; that she had no
chance for social intercourse or enjoy
ment, or but very little. and that in con-
sequence her married life had become in
tolerable. For this reason she sought a
divorce. but afterwards dismissed the
proceedings, and she and her husband
We're living together at the time of his
death, which occurred shortly after the
divorce proceedings had been dismissed
1t is expected that the evidence will all
be in today. Arguments of counsel will

8IcCA0E1IIsH WINS CASE.
Assistant Attorney General Convicts
sJOiufist


Kansas City. Kan. Dec. 90. D.
Hampton, nephew of the late Governor
LeWelling of Kansas, was convicted yes
terday Of selling liquor at 7S1 Minnesota
avenue.
The Hampton conviction was the first
since Mr.. McCamish was appointed by
Gov HOch as assistant attorney general
to clean out the liquor houses in Wyan-
dQtte county. In his first two joint trials
Mr.. McCamish met defeat. And in the
Hampton case the jury stayed out so
long many people looked for a failure to
agree.
Mr.. MECHANISM built a strong case in
the Hampton trial and there were two
counts against the defendant In one he
was charged with maintaining COM
mon suisance at .731 Minnesota avenue.
He was not convicted on that count. He
was found guilty, though, of making a
sale of liquor at that number. The law
provides punishment in his case of
Imprisonment in the county jail from
thirty to ninety days and a fine of 500
to $500.
Hampton fled motion for a new trial
and he was released on bond. The mo-
ton win be argued January g. and, if
Judge Holt overrules the motion. he will
sentence Hampton. in which case an ap-
peal to the supreme court will probably
be taken.

dances, but could not do everything
by himself.
II do not desire to reveal the names
OF those whom I find freuuentfng

FINE Lor oF YOUNGSTERS.
Twenty-seven Tsvo-year-OIds Are i'll
the $3.50 List.

TNventy-seven -year-OIds Are in
the 2:30 List.
Lexington, Ky.s Dec 2O.-Statistics
compiled by an authority here shows
that baby trOtters were unusually plen-
tiful during the season of 1905 Twenty
seven 2-year-olds entered the 2:30 list
just three times as many such young
sters as got a position IN the charmed
circle in 1904.
The record for 1905 held by the Ken
lucky Futurity winner, Lightsome,
2:1412, tops by a half second the fastest
mile made by d 22year-old in 1904, that
of Bon Voyage, BIS, also a Kentucky
Futur{ty winner. Senator J. W. Bailey s
great horse ProdIgal which the Texas
statesman secured at the closing out
sale of the late Marcus Daily is the
champion sire of extreme speed 2-year-
oldS in 1905, he putting no less than six
performers in the list. Next comes
Baronmore with five representatives
among which is Ed Custer that holds
the record for the year for colts. Silent
Brook put four in the list, and John A.
McKerron has two youngsters to take
a record of 2:30 or better. The latter,
with his mark of 2:0515, is the fastest
trotting stallion to have a record 2-year-
old in 1905, though his mark is a sec
ond and a quarter slower than that held
by Directly, which pacing stallion sent
out Daffodil, one Of the star trotting 2
year-old FLIES of the year.
In 1905 seven youngsters beat 2:20,
while in 1904 only two accomplished this
feat. In 1903 Grace Bond trotted the
fastest mile made by a 2-year-old, she
going in 2:1414, but the season previous
Katherine A marked 2:14 on the slate,
which still stands as worlds record
for a 2-year-old FLY, this mark being
made by jamie 7 in 1897. The worlds
s.-year-old record is held by Arion
(2:1O9z), scored by that son of Elec-
tioneer in 1891. Endow, by Cecilian,
holds the best record ever made by
2-year-old gelding, 2:142z.
