Another Accuses
Britt of Trying
To Fake a Fight
Fitzgerald Tells Sad Story
of Native Sons
Wiles.

NEW YORK. July 2-willie Fitz-
gerald. OF Brooklyn, is the latest fighter
to denounce Jimmy Britt. "the native
son. a faker.
Last night at Tom O'Rourke's club.
! Willie was an interested spectator, and
when the conversation switched TO
Western battles. Fitzgerald came out
with his story.
I was not bit surprised to see this
Nelson-Britt fight called off," said
Willie.
Wanted Nelson to Quit7
The chances are that Britt wanted
Nelson to lay down TO him, and finding
no chance, called the thing off. You
know I went West about seven months
ago TO get a fight with him. l was
robbed there the first time. and thought
I'd 90 back and knock him out. so that
there could be no chance of a robbery
again. They sent me tickets from Den
Yer. and with my wife made the trip.
Il was no sooner off the train at
Frisco than was made an offer Greg
ory Mitchell came to me and said:
" Willie. have proposition to make
TO you, where you can grab a bunch of
AAAoArE- ANoW THIS uEnL WITH Britt Is
not on yet. you know, even though Cof-
froth did send you tickets. Britt has
asked me to see you regarding some
thing, and I have it here.
Proposition to Fitzgerald.
" He wants you to agree to lay down
in the second round. You Will get 50
per cent of the money and one-haIf of
what he makes in the betting. II YOU
sign this agreement the fight is on,
otherwise you might just as well turn
around and start home.
He wanted me 10 say l broke my
hand in the first round and then go
down twice. the third for keeps.
Say" piped Willie, as he famed
himself With his hat If you can get
Conroth TO sign me with Britt. I'll go
cut there, fight him for nothing and
show the fa1er up as he is. I'll knock
him out, too. and all want is my ex-
,Penses.

WASHINGTON ADDS
TWO MORE GAMES
TO LOST COLUMN
Four Runs in Last In
ming Wins Smuggling
Match for YankS.

NEW YORK, July Another batting
fest marked the first game Of the double
header between New York and Wash
ington at American League Park yes
terday
The Yankees took both contests by
persistent plugging. They won the open
ing struggle by the skin OF their teeth
after the game looked TO be lost. The
second match was in doubt from start
to finish. The large crowd Of bargain
day rooters" seemed to enjoy the pro-
ceedings-
The initial game was long drawn out
and tiresome. requiring nearly three
hours 10 decide it. Costly errors were
made on Doth sides. The. hilltop men
awaited themselves Of the misplays OF
their rivals and by jabbing the ball 10
al angles OF the lot managed to win.
Manager Griffin utilized three pitchers,
but Washington hit them all freely.
Falkenberg and Smith were on the slab
for the Senators" and they were not
spared.

SAN FRANCISCO. July 2.-Big Jim
Jehries. who Is to referee the Squires-
Burns fight, paid an official visit 10
Squires' training quarters yesterday 10
instruct the Australian in regard TO the
rules under which the contest is to
be fought. So that there should be no
misunderstanding about the matter, the
retired champion went over the So
called straight Queensberry rules"
point by point.
You see" said Jeeries, you fellows
have signed to protect yourselves at all
times. and 1 want to impress upon you
what that means. Whenever I think
you are hanging together without fight
ing. I'll call Break" and you must
break when l tell you.
Protect Yourself in Break.
Now, that's where you have to pro-
tect yourself. When you drop your
hands at the order to break. the other
fellow is entitled TO crack you il he can.
AMI you are justified ne beatirE him TO
i; IL you aIe quick enough"
Suui-As said he understood it all thor
Oughly. Further, that he knew that the
rules forbade him holding on and hit
ting at the same time. but allowed him
10 slug to MS hearts content as long
as lie wasn't holding and could WiLld
a free fist.
Squires Understands.
Squires told JEFF that he did not see
how there could be any disagreement
between Burns and himself in respect
10 fighting rules. but there was an
ether matter he wished 10 draw the
referees attention to.
He had been warned that Burns ring
regalia included a rubber waist belt
which renders him immune. so far as
the effects Of body blows are concerned.
He asked Jeffries If he would look into
the matter, so that there would be no
wrangle over" Burns pneumatic girdle
at the eleventh hour.
No Pneumatic Belts, Etc.
Jeffries said he would visit Burns to-
day and inform him that he must con-
fine his attire to the things usually
worn by pugilists in action.
Jeffries and Sauires were on good
/ terms from the start. Jeff playfuuy ex-
amined Squires hands and arm mus
Giles. and commented on the size OF the
Australians fst.
You have a pretty good fist yourself"
said SQuires with a grin.
There was plenty of Squires money Of
