Young Fitz Wins on Foul
From Reeves in the Tenth

Young Bob F-tzsimmons won another
fight last night. but not the way his
father used to win battles. Young Bob
was declared victor over Jack Reeves
OF California on foul in the tenth
round at the Pioneer S. G. Old Bob was
accustomed to hit his man once in the
early rounds and then all went home.
Jack Reeves. game two handed
fighter. was handicapped in all respects
except heart. Fitz weighed $50 pounds
to 40 by the Coast man, and Fitz aso
had a great advantage in reach. Despite
this difference physically. the smaller
man carried the fight to Fitz from the
first round to the last. He did prac-
tically all the leading and he landed
the most effective blows.
Had the bout lasted twelve rounds
Reeves would probably have received
the decision on points. Unfortunately
for him he struck number of low
blows. not Intentionally, but because OF
arm weariness, and had been warned
twice by the referee. Therefore when
qualified him.
Young Bob showed nothing TO indicate
that he ever will achieve fame in the
roped square. lie still pushes with his
left and his right might as well be tied
behind his back. There Is an entire abb
sence OF aggressiveness In his makeup.
In another heavyweight bout Tom
Maxted stopped Joe Johnson OF Harlem
In 2 minutes and 20 seconds OF the first
round. Johnson was on the carpet five
times before the referee stopped the
slaughter.

Kilbane Demands $4,000
To Fight Criqui in France
French Champion Says He
Will Come Here for Bout.

PARIS, April IS (Associated Press) -
1t was considered improbable in boxing
circles to-day that the proposed twenty
round bout between Johnny Kilbane and
Eugene Criqui. French bantamweight
hampton. would take place in France
The offer for a purse of 500, 900
frances has failed to arouse much en-
thusiasm in either camp. Kalbanc's
manager Is holding out for 100000,
which is equivalent to nearly .700.0
francs, while Criquis desire to meet the
champion is not equal to his paying his
own training expenses and running the
risk of receiving no money.
Kilbane left to-day for trip through
the battlefields and left affairs entirely
In the hands OF his manager. He ap-
pears anxious to fight the French cham
pion. but the conditions exacted appear
to make 1t impossible to stage the battle
in Europe.
Criqui told the Associated Press to-
day he would fight X a~H for a very
small financial remr u N. but he

Hoffman was high scorer with three

play was hard fought throughout and

The Harvard twelve had a stronger
attack than defense and by their aggres-

in the first half. but in the second period

TENDLER CLAIMS
LEONARD'S TITLE
Quaker Boxer Loses Hope of
Getting a Match With Light
weight Champion.
BY CHARLES F. MATHIsoN.

Lew Tender adds to the gayety of
nations to-day by laying claim to
the lightweight championship. Tendle1
makes the claim because Leonard has
refused to accept one of the numerous
challenges aimed at him by the Quaker.
Tender is wasting time and also giving
the public a chance to laugh at him
No boxing title has been acquired by
forfeit since the Queensberry rules were
substituted for the London code. In the
days OF the London rules a champion
defended his title every six months or
else forfeited TO bona fide challenger.
But since the Queensberry rules came
into force champions have defended their
titles when and where they pleased. and
not once has a title changed hands ex-
cept as the result of battle in the ring.
Mr.. Tender is deserving of title bout,
but unless he wins Leonard's title by a
bout in the roped square he never will
be the champion of the class.
