FITz SEEKS TO RENEW
HIS FORTUNE ABROAD

New York, Nov. 17.-Bob Fitzsimmons
has finally arrived in Australia the
place he once called home. Bob sailed with
the idea of getting fight with the
much-abused Bill Squires, and maybe
with Tommy Burns. but Bobs friends
know. and he must know himself that
his fighting days are over. In bygOne
days there was no better but time and
other things have slowly but surely I'M
deTmined the old boys fighting facilities.
This Cornishman needs the money. AL
though in his day Bob cleaned up a big
pile. his bank roll dwindled away, just as
the bank rolls of other fighters melted
into nothing. When Bob departed a tear
glistened in his eyes as he made the
damaging admission that he was going
to Australia to fight because he knew
both Americans and BritOns would never
pay to see him again in the ring. If Bob
can ever reinstate himself with nature in
a degree sufficient to hop the ropes it
will be the eighth wonder Of the world.

ITALIAN WRESTLING STAR SAYS GOTCH
CAN BEAT ALL FOREIGN ARTISTS

Chicago, Nov. 17.-Giovanni Raicevich,
the Italian wrestler, now freely acknowl-
edges that he is not in it with Frank
Gotch, especially at the American game Of
catch-as-catch-can. The Italian says:
My defeat at the hands of Mr.. GOtch
compels me to make a statement to the
American people through the Post which
has treated me with the greatest consid-
Grafton and fairness since ] have been in
this country. Especially to Italian resi-
dents l would address my remarks. !

support when I needed it.
when ! decided to come to America
to challenge Mr.. GOtch and do what
Hackenschmidt and Pierris Turk had
failed to do, 1 had but a faint idea Of
the American style OF wrestling. l be-
lieved that very strong man with real
ability at the GraecO-Roman style of
wrestling which permits of holds only
above the belt. would be able TO defeat
the Americans, no matter how good they
were.
After the proof offered me IN last
nights match, I have changed my rpjn-

afraid to say that not one of EuTOpe's
champions viii be able to defeat Frank
GOtch in the catch-as-catch-5an style.

THE only conditions [ would impose

that man thoroughly acquainted with

1t is unfortunate for this really pleasant
Italian that the GraecO-ROman style OF
wrestling is not popular in this country.
To be frank about the matter it lacks

counts is likely TO follow in the footsteps

weighing 154 pounds.
Says my informant: He has remark
ably broad shoulders and long reach He

his last fight at Timaru he knocked a
fighter named McCabe cold and used the

it. He is not likely to be seen in the ring

from parental restraint. His people have
refused to let him enter into another
match until ne has reached his twentieth

HARVARD ON EDGE.

Cambridge, Mass. Nov. 1.-THE Har-

for Yale today on a slippery field. There
was scarcely any scrimmage work, but a
good deal of kicking and catching of
punts.
Both elevens will meet Saturday at the
stadium with a season of victories behind
them. As usual. Yale is the favOrite in
the betting at slight odds
Reports that Captain Fish is suffering
from serious injury that may keep him
out of the game, were denied by the Har-
ward football manager tonight. Captain
Fish, he said, is being given time to get
himself into shape to play Saturday and

This farmer had made a journey of

his host loaned him an umbrella
novelty at the time-opening it himself
so as to save his friend all possible

umbrella back. The weather was bright

Good Sheep Prospects
 in Northern Arizona

SllN WIltlS IlC Has pSCll tlHI''S- ing of his sheep. While away MT. Scott was jammed around in freight caboose and received painful injuries about the head, which has kept him here this week under the doctors care.
 The following item from the Kansas City Daily Drovers Tele
 gram is of interest to our readers:
 sidney Scott of HOlbrook, Ariz., well known sheep ranch man, who has had on this mar ket several shipments in the past month, brings the news of good sheep prospects in the tar off grazing mountain districts of the northern part of that terri tory. Our lamb crop was about 75 per cent" said MT. Scott. Each year lambing seems to be- pin q little earlier out there You see we run our sheep on the des- crts in winter, where the Wea ther is very mild, and lambing now starts as early as December T hen 1t continues along in January and into February. Then we move out ot the desert early in the spring and take our tOcks up into the mountains where they are kept all summer. About all of what we call the mutton sheep have been marketed. SO that we will not have very many sheep to market now till the fall run of lambs starts. so tar as the general supply of sheep IS con- cerned, I think it might be said that we have about the same number as we had year ago. And the range feed is sufficient to take gOGd care of everything until the rainy season sets Tn, which is in August, as q rule. Those rains furnish us with the fall pasture We do expect to see higher prices paid for lambs this fall than last. There is bound to be an advance. It may be a dollar per hundred Orit may be more, but the rise is coming. Sheep feeders had q very good finish this year. and there seems to be a very fine show for big corn crop. All this will have a bearing on the lamb prices, as the big corn crop will cause a strong demand for feeding lambs. Lambs were sold last fall at a very low price, ard that was ex- pected. owing to the losses that occurred to sheep feeders the w1n- ter previous. Now that condl- tions have changed, we expect our share of the rise" MT. Scott handles about 5000 sheep a year, and is known as a relia Dlt
