Some weeks before the Bob Fftz-

Charlie Stencil, who then was one

topic of conversation in sporting cir

"Fitzsimmons will win" I told
Stencil. 1T won't be a nght--it will

than a punching bag FOR Fitz. That

You can't make money any

promptly placed a number of bets on
Fitz while in Frisco and got odds that
ranged between two and three to one.
A short time later I left San Fran
cisco with Stencil for New Orlea ms.
When we arrived there some OF the
club officials came to me and said:
Jim, we were thinking Of having

sey and F~1tzsinmons. How do o

The news h a / wagered some
money on the Australian to beat
Dempsey brought a laugh from the
Dem psey quarters. Those fellows
never had seen Titx in action and
they thought I was foozling in judg-
ment. The tendency was to under
estimate the powers OF the Australian.

the fight in June. 1890. with Upham.

Stanley G. Mortimer and Clarence
C. Pell, both representing the Tuxedo
Racouets Club, won in decisive fashion
in their semi-fnal round matches in
the national racquets championship
tournament in progress at the Racquets
and Tennis Club yesterday. Mortimer
will defend his title in the final match
at 1880 o'clock to-day, and as Pell has
also been playing in great fashion, a
hard contest is looked forward to.

their opponents succeeded in gaining
total of q points against them.
Mortimer eliminated Louis du Pont
Irving, of the New York Racquets and
Tennis Club, by a score Of 15-7, 10 b,

DEFEAT SEVEN OF

Hub Players Show Superior
Combination Work
Score 5 to 3
Bv FRED HAWTHORNE

The hockey team of the Boston
Arena. leaders of the Boston division OF
the Amateur Hockey League, defeated
the seven of the Crescent Athletic Club,
tho New York leaders, in fast and
rough game at the Brooklyn Ice raj
ace last night by score oil goals
to 3. 49,,
The visiting team showed greatly SUI
perior combination in the hrSt nan
passing the puck accurately and break
ing up the Crescent defence completely
in the rushes down the ice. The hrst
period ended with the score 3 to ! IN
favor of Boston, Small, the Arena
coverpoint, being the most briliant
PLAYER on the ice. Roach made the
only goal for Crescent in this period,
taking the puck through alone.
The players INDUCED in rough tactics
in the second period. and after Small
had shown his strength on two or three
occasions by strenuous checking, the
passages at arms between the oppos-
ing teams grew in ferceness. Small
was singled out for vengeance by the
Crescent players, and for the rest OF
the evening that young man spent a
very busy time in warding off attacks.
Half dozen times he was sent sprawl
ing on the ice, and was well satisfied
when the final whistle blew.
The result of the game shows that
the Crescent seven will have hard work
in winning the championship from the
Boston men unless the team play UNI
dergoes decided improvement.
