The star.attraction will be a four-round bout botween Bob Fitzsimmons, the middle- weight champion of the world, and Jack Hickey, the middleweight champion of Ire- land. Hickey, like Fitzsimmons, has never boen beaten. He has taken part in more than fifty fights in Ireland and England and won them all. His most notable victory was over Peter Maher, whom he knocked out in two rounds. Hickey is a well built, stocky fellow and a very clever fighter. He is also & hard hitter and wei when in condition, 158 pounds. He is training earnostly for tho mill at Haverstraw. The Irishman is a modest chap and does not claim he can punch holes in the lanky Australian, but he does say that Fitz will know that he has been fight- 1ng hard before the four rounds arcover, ‘Another interesting event will be the four- round go between Mike Leonard of Brooklyn and Jim Burge, the iron man of Australia, They will fight at 183 pounds, and as both are sluggers a merry time is expected. Con Riordan, the California heavyweight who knocked'out Cou Coughlan, the Irish giant, at Madison Square garden on Tuesday nignt in sixty-five seconds, will try to put Val Flood of Australia to sleep in four rounds.
