Probably the most notnblo prl/o fight of the
decade will bo Hint between Jack Dcmpsoy ,
the Nomarcll , nnu Hob Fltzsimmons , the big
Australian. The battle will corao oft before
the New Orleans Athletic club next Wed
nesday night , and is for a purse
of tl2WO ( , the most money over hung up
by any club in the world. As there Is so
much speculation over the light Just now , a
word or two nbout the two men will surely
bo found of Interest. If Kitrslmmons had
-trr. pounds of boot on Ills spindle shanks ho
would boa full Hedged heavyweight. From
the hips up ho Is a twelve-stono man nnd
eighty years ago tlio famous Kngllsh sportIng -
Ing authority. Cnptnln Barclay , said "that n
twelve-stone man Is big enough to light any
thing human. " Fltzslmmons lias height and
reach far in excess of the average twelve-
ntono mnn'H , and while Dempsey will weigh
within four , ,6unils of his nvortiupols. ho
will look llko a boy In front of n innn when
bo faces him In a ring.
Hem } fought twenty-two battles and
emerged the victor every time. His exploits
In tills country , however , have been but few.
Ho finished llllly McCarty in California In
nluo rounds , and wound up Arthur Upmnn
In Now Orleans in still shorter
tirno. Ho is n six-footer , a black-
inlth , with arms and legs like
these of a gorrilln , but twcnty-elcht , years of
ngo nnil undoubtedly a tough nut to crack.
As to .1 nek Dempsey , every setiool boy knows
that ho Is the puncoof pugilists. Ho Is * ov-
end inches bhoitcr than the Australian and
not nearly so long la reach , and fully four
ycnrs his senior. Ills record Includes fifty-
thrco battles , nil of them victories save one ,
Unit with La Hlancho QUO year ngo last
. August. This light Dempsey undoubtedly
Jest by the veriest elinncu blow ever deliv
ered. Asusunl the sports have already de
cided the battle , but iho trouble Is they nro
not unanimous In their dcc.sions. One set of
them are as sure as they nro nllvo
that Jack will never bo in it , while another
Is just as positive that the Nonpareil will
lick his man to a dead certainty. As the
country bumpkin remarked : "Its well every
feller don't ' think nllke , for if they did , I'd
never got Mnry Ann for n wife. "
If all sports thought alllco there would bo
no maUihrs and no lights. 1 have received a
number of letters from local sports Inquiring
whether I think it would bo safe
to lay u little money on Dempsoy. To those
It Is announced that Tin : Jim : is no tipster , it
never advises a man to bet a dollar on any-
illing. It rncrelv states its Ideas , giving rea-
( ons for the faith within it , leaving the re-
. Ui tlmo. Though It Is freely admitted
tnat Fltzslmmons is a rattling peed man , I
can't see why his admirers think that
ho is going to Frnvo n picnic with Dempsoy.
_ _ u ho Australian's ' actions show that ho re
gards Jack as the most dangerous antagonist
lie over had. There is ono thine that can bo
depended on , nnd that is it will be a light ton
linish. When the men once enter the ring
there will bo no leaving it until one is the
victor and the other victim.
Tomorrow Evening' * ilattlc.
The llnlsh hattlo between Jimmy Lindsay
oIJtMs clty , nnil Harry Gilraoro of Toronto ,
Canada , comes oft before the Magic City
athletic club , South Omaha , tomorrow night ,
tlio gong to souud at 11:30 : sharp.
It will bo a great fight un-
dlsputably , as both men have established
reputations that compare favorable with any
men la their class. The purse hung up is
NSOO , $ ! )00 to the winner mid ? 100 to the loser.
Gilmore was scon at his quarters ycstedny
nnd Is certainly in prlmn form. He is as hard
as nails , with a skin that glows llko a boy's ,
and muselcs that work like machinery be
neath his satiny cuticle. He claims
to be In bettor form than ho lias been nblo to
reach in years. Lindsay , too , is In superb
fettle and will po into the contest bigger and
stronger , nnd with a better knowledge o [
ring tactics , than ever before and can not
% fall in giving a good account of himself.
There will bo delegations of the fancy hero
from Chicago nnd St. Louis to sco the battle ,
whllo ninny of the surrounding towns will
send their quote of representatives.
A ClmiiKolu Siioiitlni ; Union.
The American Shooting association , an or
ganization that was never intended to in
struct or enhance the skill of the shooter ,
but simply to ndvnnco the interests of the
manufacturer of tire arms , munitions and
targets , has virtually collapsed , and the
American gunner need not view the event in
the light ol a calamity cither. The disband-
ng of this organi/atlon means a Inpso buck
to the old rules , under which It isn't ' such an
easy matter to kill way up in the nineties ,
either artiilclal or llvo birds. The Hurling-
ham rules , under which the gun must bo held
below the elbow until the bird Is actually on
the wing , are thq rules that call into requisi
tion all the uorvo and dexterity of tlio
shooter , and should govern all big moniud
matches.
The American rules allow the shooter to
hold the gun in any position , nnd this cm a
simple privilege has been the cause of the in
numerable big scores piled up nil over the
country by shooter.- ! who would only make a
fair showing under the HurHnghuni. If a
man is allowed to stand at tlio score with his
pun to his shoulder ho is enabled to cover
his bird the moment it leaves the trap , and
consequently the chances for a "kill" arc
twofold butter than under the old rules.
