Fitzsimmon's Efforts
 To Come Back'

Attempts of ex-champions to come back are always pathetic, but many ventures of the late Bob Fitzsim- mons were more than usually so. The lank 'Corntshman just simply would mt give up hope, and it took lot of hard knocks to convince him that he was through. After his second defeat by Jeffries, in 1902, Fftz fought few second raters, and then retired. In the summer of 1904 he relieved the tedium of inaction by boxing a six round, no-decision bout with Jack O'Bien in Philadelphia. and the fol- lowing year, just twe1ve years ago today. Dec. 20. 1905, he fought Phil adelphia Jack over the long route in San Francisco. By the time a dozen rounds had been fought Fitz was all in, and when the bell rang for the thirteenth he was unable to get up from his chair, and the referee count ed him out where he sat, Officially he was declared knocked out" That satisfied Bob for time, but in 1907 he was knocked out by Jack Johnson and two years later he went to Aus tralia and was knocked out by Bill Lang.

.STRANGLER VICTOR
 IN ROUGH SESSION

New York, Dec. 20.-Ed (''Strangler'') Lewis, the Lexington Ky.) grappler, whose head lock hold has been the cause of so much comment, adverse and otherwise, added another victim to his list with this hold last night in the international wrestling tourna- ment at the Lexington theatre, when he threw Tommy Draak of Holland, in 13 minutes Il seconds. The match was the toughest in the tournament.
 This was due to Draak, who has been a strenuous objector to theause of Lewis's dangerous hold, because of the injuries which may result from it. and came as a climax to an agita- ton which for a time threatened the disbarment of Lewis from further matches in the tournament This move was hinted at in an ultimatu1n given by the majority of the wrestlers in the tournament, to the effect that they would nefuse to compete against the Southerner because of. his hand lock, and the management announced last night that Lewis had agreed to dispense with this hold in future matches.
 oLdIllnS l1t uldlCA DIddhJ ated because Lewis had refused to comply with his request that the head lock be barred, rushed at the Southerner. and before Lewis was aware of his opponents intention both
 wrestlers were grappling in the wings of the stage, Draak carrying Lewis
 before him in an attack which upset spectators on the stage, chairs, and the scenery.
 Referee George Bothner pried the combatants apart and hostilities were resumed again on the mat. The wres- tiers did not stay there long, how ever, for Draak again rushed reck- lessly and almost forced Lewis over the footlights into the audience. The Hollander continued this style up to the time he was thrown, alternating his mode of attack with a number of hooks, jabs, and swings which are not listed in the wrestling code. Once Draak rushed infuriated at Lewis, and, missing his objective, plunged headlong into the footlights, breaking several of them. <"
 When Lewis thought his rival had caused enough trouble he applied his first head lock. This was about eight minutes after the men started, and Draak successfully wriggled free of the hold.
 | The Hollander was rather groggy, however, and as he came 1unging back Lewis quickly slipped on another head lock, which also was broken. This left Draak staggering and the South
 erner found it easy to apply his third and most effective lock.

CATCHES FOUR OFFERS

The otter bagged by Dwight J Burnham of Hartford several days ago, Is by no means the first otter caught in this state in recent years. Perry J. Wheeler of 'Torrington wrests the laurels from MT. Burnham with a record of four otters bagged withon less than a month. The four weighed from sixteen and half to eighteen pounds each. The belts are in prime condition and are valued at between $25 and $40 apiece. Previous to this season, MT. Wheeler bagged three ot- ters in this vicinity.
 In the opinion of MT. Wheeler, an otter is more foxy than fox. This foxiness is supplemented by phenom- enal strength, which necessitates the use of special toothed traps. The trap must be carefully set in mud or wa ter and the trapper must be careful not to leave any 'smelT'. as the otter is keen-scented and full of suspicion. Two of the four otters secured by MT. Wheeler during the past month were bagged on the same day.
 Several days before he caught these two otters, MT, Wheeler had spent two hours and ten minutes in setting three traps.
 MT. Wheeler is a born trapper and hunter. At one time he had as many as 125 traps set out, covering parts of Litchfield, Goshen, New Hartford and Torrington. A few years ago he secured $226 worth of furs in twenty days One of his biggest single hauls in one day was four foxes and eight SkunkS,

MAY HOLD JUNIOR
 MEET IN NEW YORK

New York, Dec. 20-It is probable after all that the national junior in door track and field championship meet of the Amateur Athletic Union will be held in New York. Chicago and St Louis have both been advised by the A. A U. authorities that they could have the games for the asking, but neither has evinced any desire for the meet. and the same state of af- fairs holds true at Boston and Phila- delphia.
 Under the circumstances" said a man prominent in A. A. U. circles yesterday, New York will probably have the junior games unless it is de- cided to cancel them altogether which does not appear to be likely. When the meet will be held is still a ques- ton, because President Charles A. Dean has not as yet appointed the new championship committee. and it Is not likely that anything will be done in advance of such action.
 Tt has been suggested, and I be- lieve the suggestion a good one, that the junior meet be held either the night or the afternoon before the na- ional senior games, which probably will take place in the 22d Regiment Armory on the third Saturday of March If the junior games were com Joined with the senior meet in this way, it might be possible to arouse more interest in them and at the same time attract a larger entry" The junior games were held in Buffalo on Jan 1 last, and the meet is usually held early in the season

Harlem Court
 Upholds Fight
 Clubs In Test

New York. Dec. 20.-The club mem bership plan yesterday gained a not able victory in the Harlem court when Magistrate Joseph E. Corrigan dis missed charges against r men charged with violating section 1710 of the penal law, which makes it g. misdemeanor to hold boxing matches where an ad mission fee is charged. The defend ants were promoters of and partici- pants in boxing contests held recently at the New. Polo A. A.. Park avenue and 129th stret, and the Postman A. e., at 18th street and Madison ave- nue.
 Two boxers who appeared in the ring of the Postman A. c. were held for Special Sessions, but Magistrate Corrigan declared it was questionable if the boxers could be held responsi- ble for the. acts of a third person in inducing them to become members of club. The boxers, two negroes, who were held in $50 bail each, were not apprehended.
 By far the most significant utter ance of the magistrate was that in his opinion the law was unconstitu- tional and that if" test of it were made it would be declared void. He added that a legitimate club may hire any one it chooses to entertain its members, and that the evidence did not prove that the boxers engaged in a prize fight or a sparring match.
 In dismissing the complaints against all except the two boxers, the magis- trate said there was no evidence to show that any one but the two boxers participated in the contests.
 The case of the Grupp A. c. will the Washington\ Heights court today. Fourteen members of the club have been subpoenaed to appear and tes- tify. The Grupp. A. c. has turned over it's books to the police in order to prove that it is a membership or ganization and not a proprietary club.
 The officials of the club point to ruling by the attorney general of the state in support of their contention that a private club cannot be inter- fered with in providing bouts for the entertainment of It's members. This decision was rendered during the life of the F'raw1ey law, and was to the effect that the Boxing Commission could not interfere with 8 Masonic lodge or a private club in the enter tainment of its members with boxing bouts.
 Both the Polo A. A. and the Grupp A. c. will hold bouts for the enter tainment of their members tomorrow night

S1O,OOO HENDRICK
 OFFER WITHDRAWN

Indianapolis, Dec. 2o-The offer to release Jack Hendricks, manager Of the Indianapolis American Association baseball club, for $10,000 was with drawn yesterday by J. c. McGill, president of the club, in telegram received from him by Hendricks. Me- gotiations have been under way for some time for Hendricks release, he having been offered the management of the St. Louis Nationals if he could get away from his contract here. Mo- Gill first demanded $15,ooo. Branch Hickey of the St. Louis club, offered $5,000. McGiN then asked $1O,000, where the matter stood.
 The option given to local syndi- cate for the purchase of the Indian apolis club from McGill and the other present owners will be withdrawn at o'clock this evening, McGill wired. McGill, who is now in Los Angeles, Cal, says he expects to return to Indianapolis soon to start building 8 team for next year if he does not sell.

 Any man, any time and any place, will suit me-" said Jess.
 '"How about Fulton?" he was asked.
 "Oh, Fulton. Yes, he's all right. fine fellow, has a splendid press agent, very energetic fellow"
 Jess expressed mild surprise that Fulton was claiming the championship, but allowed that he would just as lieve slap Fulton around for the Red Cross as any one else he could think of.
