 THE pUGILIsTs.
FITZ WAITING
Ready For His Battle With Jack 0'Brien Attell and Abel in
 Three Round Battle.

From San Francisco comes the word that Fitzsimmons is not working as hard in preparation for his meeting with O'Brlen as he has for some of his other battles, but it is a sure bet that Ruby Robert will not be shy on the condition thing by reason of hold ing Jack too cheaply. The old fox has seldom made that mistake, and there is less chance for it now than ever be- fore. It is the surest thing in the world that he knows just what he needs to fit him., and if it is possible for him to come back to real form he will be there with the goods on the night of the fight
 After all this playing with the French poodles and the other freakish doings of the lanky one is something of stall, and as matter of fact he is doing plenty of work. December 21 is far enough away for both men to go along slowly at the present time and it is far enough away to possibly change many plans, including the hold. ing of the battle.

THE CYCLE GRIND.
Twelve Teams Now In Six Day Race
 at New York.

at New York.
 NEW YORK, Dec 6.-The most ex- citing sprint at the six day bicycle race in Madison Square Garden occurred when Tommy Hall took the planked track to relieve Matt Downey. Hall injected real ginger into the race and after getting half lap ahead laid low or his machine and sprinted. The au- dience, which had grown somnambu- lent, suddenly awoke and nearly raised the roof with its cheers. Try as he would, however, Hall could not main tain his lead. The crowd urged him on, but the other riders were now thoroughly awake, and they began to bunch up again.
 Opinion as to which will be the next team to drop out seems to be centered on the French one. Louis Trousselier complained of a weak back. and his ef- forts to keep up with the others are painfully apparent. especially at the intermittent bursts of speed. Some seemed to think that he will not last the rest of the day. His team mate. Docoup. also look tired and does not respond with very much alacrity when his time for relieving comes.
 The twelve teams are still running very evenly. with about S87 miles each to their credit

THREE ROUND BATTLE.

New York. Dec 6.-Abe Attell and Kid Abel fought three swift rounds before the Summit Athletic club last night. Both men made good show. ing and 1t was difficult to form an opinion as to the result had the fight been over longer period.
 Attell is the quicker and the shiftier of the two, but he needed all of his quickness and shiftiness with Abel. who showed that he has stiff punch and a mighty swing and is also a clever boxer. Abe, however, outpoint. ed him, and apparently had no diff culty in keeping out of his reach.
 The club, which is in Thirteenth street, was crowded. and an excellent program of seven bouts was arranged with Attell and Abel as the star fea ture

BOWLING. ALLEYS ARE BUSY
The Craze for Knocking Down the Pins is Growing Mowanks
 Beat Algonquins.

Has Waterbury gone bowling crazy? If not it is so close on the verge of it that there Is no fun in it. At the present time it seems as if everybody in town were trying to be experts in the fascinating pastlme. All during the day and far into the night the pins are being knocked down and each bowler Is trying to make high score. But the fever Is not confined to the men and boys for many of the young ladies of the city are becoming pro ficient in the art of making strikes and spares. Special balls are at hand for their use and they send them along the boards in a masterly man ner.
 A year or two ago there was hardly bowling alley to be found in Water bury with the exception of the one at the Y. NJ. c. A. and that at Forest park. But once the game got tl here 1t has grown in popularity until now it Is the game" The most popular alleys to-day are those of the Wooster on Bank street and the Arcade on South Main street, where big crowds are found day and night.

DOYLE SUES TOLEDO.

Jack Doyle. one of Holyoke's fam ous contributors to base ball history, is busy just now with a lawsuit ont in Toledo. He has brought an action against the Toledo club for $S19.67, which, he claims, is due him on sal ary contract. The New York Globe unfeelingly says: This piece of news has caused an unkind wag to remark that if Doyle played the same kind of ball for Toledo that he played for the Yankees" in two games at Detroit last year he should contribute instead of take away money from the Toledo strong box.

ball team, only weighs 135 pounds, but he is one of the most remarkable ath- letes that ever stepped on the grid iron. AS a football player he has a good head and runs bis team well. He Is also, like his teacher, Hudson, great drop kicker. What be lacks in weight he makes up in fieetness of foot and sureness of tackle.
 But it is as an all around athlete that Mount Pleasant Is conspicuous. He can rEn the 100 yards in 4-5 sec onds, and one of his most remarkable feats was to run a quarter of. mile in a relay race in fifty seconds and within q few minutes win a broad jump contest, clearing 23 feet inches. He has a record under fifty for the quarter mile
 Mount Peasants trainers and friends are very anxious to have him break the worlds record for the broad jump and are confident he can do 1t. He Is keeping steadily at practice in this style of exercise and within e year ex- poets to achieve the ambition of his life. which is to smash a worlds record.

Hillside, Conn.,, is in great glee over the victory of tile girls football team from Mrs. M. D. Mead's seminary, which defeated the second eleven of the Overlook aSelleck Military academy of Norwalk, Conn.,, Ill hotly contested game recently.
 The score was 12 to 0, and so keenly does the military academy feel the de- feat that the cadets have voted to take the colors and letters from their team for month as punishment for the hu- initiation which they have brought upon the institution.
 The girls wore the regulation padded trousers, cleated shoes, leather helmets and shin guards. Some of them were very pretty girls, but they didn't look 1t when they got into their armor. Miss Mary Rider was the captain, and she kicked goal after each touchdown The girls exhibited superior knowl- edge of the game, were quick, played together well and were strong in rush. ing. They tackled low and hard.
 One of the most enthusiastic specta- tors was the Rev. George Drew Egg bert of the Norwalk Congregational church Edward H. Gumbare, super fntendent of public schools, and mem- bers of his faculty were the officials of the game.
 George Slosson said recently that he had good reason to believe that an in- ternational billiard tournament for the new championship trophy representing tue worlds championship at eighteen inch balk line would be held in New York this winter, the leading players now in Paris and America being the competitors in the event.
 Slosson also has in view a tourna- ment for the leading shortstops, in which Professor Mclaughlin, Albert Cutler, Harry Klein of Philadelphia, Al Taylor of Chicago and one or two others may enter.
 Jake Schaefcr is preparing to meet all corners at the 1S-2 balk line game and will lose no time in getting him self in readiness to challenge the win ner of the Vigneaux-Hoppe match, which takes place early next month in Paris.
