fit1SinmonS'5 Correct
Age Nearer fifty.Ines
By OTTO FLoTo.

There seems 10 be quite a mistake
in Fitzsimmons age even among the
records. In the record books 1t Is
stated he was born in 1862, which
would bring him around the 4S-year
mark. and this is the age that Fitz
himself has given out for years. But
little incident occurred which ] am
about TO recall which will bring him
TO about SO years.
Immediately after the battle with
Jack Dempsey I was his manager and
took him TO New York. Our opening
engagement was at Miners Bowery
theater and while in his dressing
room one afternoon just before the
matinee a rugged looking fellow came
I'm and shook him by the hand. Bob
seemed quite surprised for a moment
and then stammered. my brother
Charlie" Yes, that is who 1t was, his
brother Charlie. The latter had re-
NAMED In England when Fitz went
to Australia and had not seen his then
famous brother for years. They Cos
siped for a time and then Charlie
said: Il say, Bob. you're well to the
thirty-four year mark now. amt your
Bob redeemed up and looked about
saying, no he was only 81. But
Charlie insisted that he was 33 and
that Bob was the older. This was
in March, 1891. which would make
him SO the coming spring.
Therefore If Bob is SO how in the
world could he hope 10 win over q
youngster like Lang?

WfLkESBARRE. Penn. Jan. L.
Manager Clymer of the wilkesbarre
Club OF the New York state league will
not test the right to sell and buy base
ball players under the 18th amend

the suit OF Manager Mcclellan of the

reductions OF three per cent to FIVE per

Big recessions also were made in the

markets. or chief benefit to the house
wife was the declines in butter, which
dropped from 81 cents a pound whole
sale to 81 cents and in eggs which re-
ceced to SO cents a dozen, as contrast
ed to "a cents last week. The Elgln
butter market recorded big slump.
Butter men who had been bidding as
high as IS cents registered bids of 80
cents on received offerings. The deals
practically decided the price. Three
reasons were given in Elgin as the
cause of the decrease: Agitation
against the high price OF food stuffs:
a break in the corner on butter, held
by a butter company of Aurora and
the decline In the demand since the
holidays.

CAUSE OF DUEL|NG
Geneva Parsons Stirred High Circles
In Europe, According to Tcsti-

For the love OF Miss Geneva Parsons,
the Count OF lorraine and D'Annunzio,
the famous Italian poet, fought a duel
in sunny Italy. according to the cor
respondence introduced before Judge c.
w. Morse by C. C Parsons, promi-
nent attorney. in support of his counter
claim for a divorce from his wife, Mrs.
Jennie B. Parsons. In which he charges
her with cruelty. Besides this, serial
story appeared In an Italian paper pub
lished In Rome, shortly after the duel,
while Mrs. Parsons and her daughter
were still there. In which the principal
characters were supposed to be Miss
Parsons and the Count OF lorraine 1t
caused so much gossip that Mrs. Par
sons decided that she would have to
leave Italy, and she went to London.
but her daughter had to give up her
studies OF dramatic art, drawing. Ital-
ian versatation, and the Siennese Ian
guage. Another letter told of the story
which appeared. and Mrs. Parsons
wrote that she believed that D'Annun-
zio had written il on account of his
jealousy.
While Parsons WAS receiving these
long letters, which disturbed his mind
and which he investigated and founo
TO be stories of vivid imagination, he
was also harrassed with cablegTams
asking for money. During the three
months that Mrs. Parsons swas abroad
she spent $500 and kept wiring for
more money about twice a week.
Mrs. Parsons was on the witness
stand under ross-examination when
the court took a recess at noon. The
Parsons were divorced about Is years
ago and married the second time in
Colorado Springs In 1901. While they
uvara IN fhafr bopoyrnoOn there. Mr.
Parsons declared that she told HIM
that they had better agree to disagree.
Mrs. Parsons has spent several sum-
mers abroad and has gone out in So
ciety in Salt Lake since they moved

ago.
