THE PUGILlSTS.
LANKY ONE
 AMBITIOUS
ritzsimmons Will Take On Fighters In Three Classes - Terry hcGovern a Starter.

New York, June 6.-Bob Fitzsim- mons, claiming three championships, ts out with a challenge to fight any body for any old title. Furthermore, he wants to fight right here .n Madison Square Garden. and thinks he has doped out a scheme which will pave the way for the battle to be held here, laws to the contrary notwithstanding.
 Fitz is willing to meet any one in a fight at the garden and turn the re ceipts over to charity-that is after all expenses have been deducted. Looking for an easy mark, the old man picks Jim Corbett as being the man he would rather fight in what he promises will be positively his last ring encounter. Fitz's challenge was issued through Ithe sporting editor of The Morning Telegraph last night. Bob claims to hold the undispLted light heavyweight and middieweight titles. Then he says that as Jeffries has given up the claim to the heavyweight championship. the crown naturally falls back on his head and he Is willing to defend it.
 The frecn.-. ane, however, has one fight scheduled ahead of his proposed encounter. July he is carued to meet Mike Shreck in Salt Lake City. and he wants the last fight to come of as soon afterward as possible.

Only seven balls went outside the diamond and Bowler after the opening had everything his own way. The score:

Hamilton, Ont. June 6.-Terry Me Govern has forsaken, the prize ring and the footlights. and is now trying his hand as assistant starter at the race course of the Hamilton Jockey club.
 Terry had brought his brother Phil. who Is jockey, to Toronto, where he had hoped to secure for the lad some good mounts, and failing in that, he had sent the youngster home.
