weight bout.
Fitz May Come.
| is not certain that Bob Fitzsim-
mons IS not with the party on the
/ Mariana. 1t was stated by steamship
officials that Fitz was not booked to
take passage on the Wllhelmina from
here and from this it was inferred that
:. he was not coming this way. He was
included in the list of names mentioned
by Mcintosh when he sent the first
cable offering to put up an exhibition
|
received from that end that Bob is
not along.
Would Put Cornyn on Bob.
1t was suggested that Young Pat
Cornyn 90 up against the ex-champlon.
He is sound and can stand a good
wallop without fazing him. Further
more Pat can hand out some hard ones
and if Fitz thought he was in for
/ frolic he might get more than he count
ed on.
/ Dick Sullivan said yesterday that he

e two brothers might make a fourth hand

e Lang together Dick said he would

t. Jim Hoao Suggested.
Il In the event that Fitzsimmons is not
! in the party which Is due here next
Tuesday it was proposed last night that
! Pat Cornyn enter the prellmlnarles
with Jim Hoao, the native lad who put
it all over Tim Terrien in the Aloha
Parl, arena last Saturday night Hoao

Burns Poisoned.
The fact that Burns and Lang are
coming this way together is all due
to bit of hard luck for Tommy OF
indiscretion. Burns had booked to
n leave Australia a month before but
II was obliged to cancel his passage
While training for his fight with
IL Lang he was poisoned through eating
e cucumbers. and had a bout with
