Had last Monday night's fight between Bob Fitzsimmons and Joe Choynski been al- lowed to go to a finish there is little doubt but what the lanky kangaroo would have scored another decisive victory. He had Joseph Bartlett going fast and evidently one more punch would have rendered the Israel- fte oblivious to his surroundings, but that punch was not forthcoming and handsome Bill Daly declared the contest a draw, his only alternative under the circumstances, as the bobbies stopped the fight at its most critical juncture, This contest means more than the ordinary follower of the game thinks. It not only indisputably puts Fitzsimmons in the from rank of the heavywelght pugilists of the day, but doubtless makes him the most eli- gible of all on the lists for an argument Wwith Champion Jim Corbett, leaving all pos- sibility of a meeting with Jackson out of consideration. It not only means this, but it means a prolonged retirement for Joe Choynski. At his very best the affable Californian was never anything but a light heavywelght, a sparse class when compared with_the army of feather, light and middle weights that have been oscillating backward and forward over this country for a half dozen years. It would have been better had Joe been able to have remained in the mid- dle class, but that was impossible, He Is of a structure that prevents his getting down to that notch, and not big enough to face the top sawyers in the big class. With Do equal chances it consequently looks like an extended vacation for Joseph. He might possibly be induced, now that the times are adamantine, to take on Denver Ed Smith or Peter Maher, but there is little doubt in my mind as to the outcome of a meeting with either of these men. He would -get licked. Of course he gave a good account of himself in his early fights with Corbett and ac- quitted himself more than creditably in both of his fights with big Joe Goddard, the hero of the back blocks. But in none of his con- tests has he displayed championship form, nd it must be long chance now or none if he hopes to achieve future glory or shekels within the magic circle, And there is still another thing that this Dattle means, and that is that Bob Fitzsim- mons has expunged his last chance for an- other_middleweight fight. In fact had he mot met and bested Choynski I do not be- Meye he could ever have gotten on another mill In the class of which he is the cham- plon, because it would be a physical impos- bility for him to ever get to welght. This as been made all the more evident by his rsistent refusal to meet Dan Creedon at Rx. Could Fitz reduce and be as trong as he was when he fought Jack mpsey, 1 would look upon Creedon as a sausage, but he cannot, and hereafter he must take on the big fellows or abandon the mits as a means of a livelihood. As I remarked last Sunday I looked for & draw Monday evening, and a draw It was, mot just exactly of the character, however, 1 had anticipated, for the fight was in- @ubitably on the level. While Fitzsimmons does not get unqualified credit for a victory, be conclusively demonsirated that he iy Choynski’s master as a fighter. ~ All re- rts of the fight give him far and away the t of it, and barring Corbett and Jackson, ‘cannot put my finger on the heavywelght who can whip him. Peter Maher or Ed Smith might turn the trick, but it s xceedingly doubtful, but such men as Jim Hall, Dan Creedon, Ted Pritchard and dozens of more who could be mentioned have no business inside the ropes with him at catch- weights. While I think that Jim Corbett would whip him sure, I believe It would take him longer than it would either Smith or Maher, that is providing that either of these men could conquer him at all. This opinion is procreated simply by the styles of fighting of the four men. Maher or Smith would wade into Robert to kill him as quick as possible, while Corbett would en- deavor to polish him off scientifically and artistically. If Smith or Maher whipped him they. could whip him quick, but if Corbett whipped him it could be after a much longer fight. I have always thought Fitzsimmons a pugilistic wonder. Ever since he has been in this country, it seems, he has been able to train either up or down and be equally active and powerful. ~ He fought Jack Dempsey 'way down at 154 pounds, and beat the life out of him fn thirteen rounds. Then he meets Peter Maher at 160 pounds and_scores another win in eleven rounds. In March, a year ago, he steps Into the ring with Jim Hall, tipping the scales a fraction under 170 pounds, and puts him to sleep with a punch, and it is reasonable to think that he is capable of making the best man in the world fight all he knows how. He is much better than the best judges ever thought he was, and Corbett or no other fighter wants to underestimate his abili- ties, for I tell you it won't do. There is nothing new relative to the com- ing contest between Tommy Ryan and Billy Smith. Al that is known is that both men have signified their acquiescence in the Twin City club's proposition, and that the fight, it it takes place at all, will take place early in August. The red hots are all anxious that there be no hitch. The superiority of the two men has always been a mooted question, and the friends on either side of the house are anxious to have the matter peremptorily settled, and I think it will be if they meet. If they do I will run a special Pullman from this city to the fight. C. W. Richardson, the one member of the odorous Duval Athletic club who was entitled to the slightest esteem of the north- ern newspaper men who went to Jackson- ville to see Corbett and Mitchell, is in Phil- adelphia, and in conversation with John B. McCormick the other day said: “I don’t think that the governor will be able to reverse Judge Call's decision before the supreme court of the state, and 1 don't think, if he fails to do so, that he can get the legislature to pass a bill for him which will prevent glove contests. The great ma- Jority of the people of Jacksonville are not in sympathy with the governor on this ques- tion, and I think their opposition will be more potent than his influence. In that event the Duval club will offer a purse of $35,000 (in fact it has already done so), for a contest between Jim Corbett and Peter Jack- son.” “But,” sald Mac, “you know that Jackson has declared most positively that he will not battle south of Mason and Dixon's line." “I am fully aware of that,” was the an- swer, “but where else can there be a con- test? Jackson's only reason for objecting to contest in the south is because he fears that his color will prevent him fair play. Now, we will guarantee him fair play, and assure him that the only antagonist that he will have to contend with will be Corbett. We will glve him as good a show as George Dixon had with Jack Skelly, They will assure him in the most positive manner, There are far more northern men Interested in Florida than there are in any other south- ern state, and Jackson need have no fear of not getting fair play. I think that when this is made plain to him that it will overcome his objection to contesting In the south. ‘“The great mass of the newspaper men who were in Florida to see the affair seemed to have no idea of the difficulties we had in pulling the affair off, and several of them did all they could to balk us. This made some of the managers of the club mad, and when it was proposed to make the press men buy thelr tickets, I objected, but I was outvoted. We stood to lose many thousand dollars had the contest been stopped, and as it was the reports of many of the correspondents threw cold water on the affalr and kept hundreds of people from Jacksonville, who would have been glad to have gone there and pald to see the affair. Hereafter I think things will bo pleasanter for all concerned. We will not undertake to have auy contest unless we are cocksure of our rights and ability to pull it off, and then there will be no friction with any right meaning representative of the pa- pers.” Now that both Griffo and Walter Edger- ton have flunked In_their proposed contests With George Dixon, there are some grounds for hope that Billy Plimmer and Dixon may be induced to indulge in a little tryst. While such a meeting would create considerable of a stir, the chances are two to one against it, although It may be brought about. The two are sparring vigorously through the newspapers, and the hot stuff that is em- anating from each may screw their courage up to the fighting point. On the face of things the little Englishman has all the best of it. His relterated proposition of 115 pounds at the ring side for all the receipts is more than fair and generous, and Dixon must accept or acknowledge that he is afraid of Billy on anything like even terms. Jimmy Lindsay desires me to inform P. W. O'Brien of North Platte that his proposition for a fight with the Black Pearl at Grand Island on the 2d or 3d of July s accepted, providing O'Brien remits to the sporting ed- itor of The'Bee or one of the city banks $100 as a guarantee of good faith and to insure his expenses, Lindsay already having de- posited a like sum. He doesn’t feel like tak- ing any more chances with strangers than is absolutely necessary, and his demand is in every way falr and just. The next contest of any importance in the east will be that at Boston next week be- tween Mike Harrls, the Bowery Boy, and Joe Walcott, the Barbadoes darkey. ' Harris whipped the colored dwarf once, but there aro many inclined to believe that he can’t do it again. SANDY GRISWOLD. BRIGGS' BLUE RIBBON MEETING. A Great Gathering of Fast Horses at Unlon Park. Secretary McNair fs-leaving nothing un- done in promoting the interests of the Blue Ribbon meeting at Union park track June 26 to 28, under Clinton H. Briggs' management. Next Tuesday is the opening day, and very many of the great stables of the country will be present to take part in the many class races that will be glven. Omaha and Coun- cil Bluffs will be afforded a class of harness racing such as they never have had an op- portunity to witness before, and all credit is due President Clinton H. Briggs for the nerve he has evinced in offering the rich purses that have induced owners of horses of national reputation to come here. The loca. | tion here is just right for being the great racing center of the west, and this will be the inaugural of events that will occur at proper intervals in the future, and it is hoped that the people of the twin cities and vicinity will manifest the fullest appreciation of the great treat that is being arranged for them. Union park Is beautifully situated and has been especially fitted up for the coming meeting. The track is in condition for fast time, the grand stands and all else have been fitted up in shape that all visitors may be made com. fortable. From this city electric cars land visitors right at the grand stand. The stables are fast filling up with horses from all parts of the country, all fit to cred itably represent themselves and owners when called out. The representatives from the Pleasanton farm, California, of which the vyeteran horseman Monroe Salisbury 18 pro- prietor, are now stabled at the track, all looking in fine form. Jib is looking well, and, if on his good behavior, will give an exbibition of speed worth going a long way to see. The 2-year-old, Directly (pacer), randson of the grgfn Dictator, needs only to Ko seen at motion fo Be admired. The re- doubtable Andy McDowell, who has plloted so many of the California bred flyers to victory, 1s trainer and driver of the lot. The half mile dash, pacing, free-for-all, will be one of the great events of the meet- ing and the one that wins it will go a clip such as has never been seen In these parts Don’'t miss it if you want to see a harness borse step to the one-balf (provided the track and day is right) in about 1:00, In it will be the great mare from Texas, Lena HII, who can make anybody's horses go that distance In 1:00 and beat her. Then there 18 W. W. P, the chesnut gelding, who won the free-for-all at Denver last weck, and is always a dungerous fellow in any race. I will be piloted by that skilled reinsman, Jobn Kelley, who marked the mighty l | Directum champlon of the world. Albert E will start in the same event with Papa Whitney up, and where the old gentleman enters a horse that he has prepared for a race you may be assured he has a chance for some of the money. The only Jib will come up for the word with them and as it is known he has the speed of any living horse it is no reflection to be beaten by such a one. Another event in which will appear several of the best 2-year-olds that have ever started are the pacers of that age, Carbonate, by Superior, 2:17%, owned by DeBois Brothers, Denver, Is said to be with- out a peer. Directly may be also seen at this time, with many others, whom the breeders of the whole mnorthwest cannot afford miss seeing, as shch another lot of 80 perfectly racing bred ones will not be seen here soon again. Don't miss being there and see a good fleld of 2-year-olds finish a mile all head and head in 2:20 or better. Wednesday, the 27th, the roan stalllon Alameto, by Eagle Bird, owned by President Clinton H. Briggs, will be exhibited in har- ness. The horse Is just out of the stud and {s not yet quite up to racing form, but Mr. Tilden will move him easy to'the three-quarter and ask him to go some from there home, and if you want to see the fastest quarter ever gone by a trotter over the Union park, and in a faultless way, do not fail to be on hand. Online, 2:11, at by Shadeland Onward, 2:18%, will make his first appearance for two vears at the Blue Ribbon meeting. To the Omaha and Council Bluffs people his old- time driver, Chandler, has him in charge. “Chan’’ says he llkes him, which means a good deal. Billy Paxton should have re- talned the Keystone Farm stable at Union Park until after the Blue Ribbon meeting, and what a showing Nebraska could have made with its Conqueror, Two Strike, Mary, Hurly Burly, Alameto, Kate Caffry, Online, Belle Acton, Fred K, Fieldmont, Winslow Wilkes, Prince T and Tom Miller. Al of these can beat :15 at thelr way of going by the asking. Horsemen are glad to wel- come “The Tall Sycamore” from Texas, Sol Coleman, as he is a genius and always a gen- tleman. ~ Iowans should turn out en masse to applaud their own “Sweet Litttle Alix,” 2:07%, when she comes for the *‘word” for one of the efforts of her life. C. A. Alex- ander, an old-time Unfon Park favorite, will be right up there at the finish with the in- vincibles, Wilber Wilkes and Senator A When Tom Miller's face is wreathed in smiles after an examination of the ‘home stretch, you may ure that the one that beats the little black, Fred K, will have a mark that will put him i a very fast class whenever they start again. The Oregon contingent under the manage- ment of John Tilden are keyed up for battles royal. They iare a good lot and John 1s never beaten 'till the wire is reached. The Seventh Ward ( Military band of Omaha, which has no superior in the west, will dis- course to the assembled thousands music which will enliven and entertain. Electric cars carry passengers from the Paxton hotel corner direct to the grand stand, cousuming only fifteen minutes to make the run. Colonel Harry: Soper of Wellington, Kan., will preside as starting judge in the stand. As such he is at the head of the class and being engaged at Lexington, Ky., Fleetwood, New York City and many of the grand it meeting evidences the assertion that at the hour advertised the horses will be coming for the ‘“word” and it will be an entertalnment spirited to the finish. No weariness or late dinners as accompaniments, In the management of the Blue Ribbon meeting President Briggs has called to his ald the efficlent Secretary W. P. McNalr of Wichila, Kan., and when the gates are opened the publio may be assured that the most minute detall has been considered and attended to. Both cities, Omaha and Coun- cil Bluffs, are much Interested in the suc- cess of this meeting, as its lmportance on future meetings is incalculable, The Greatest Kace of All. Whether Omaha s in the lead or not, lovers of our great national game cannot help but acknowledge that the pennant chase of the Western assoclation is one of the sharpest and prettlest and closest in the history of the sport. The elght entries are just now turiously into the second half, what a race they are makiog. would almost cover the eatire fl the fon of Quivey, who s ¢ dashing and, my, A blanket 14, with ming fast St. are under whip and spur. Rock Island, Joe, Jacksonville, Omaha and Lincoln nose and nose for first place, while Des Moines Is giving Peoria a whole lot of hustling to do to keep her place. Indeed, the race i< a great one, and to pick the win- ner at this stage of the game would be to achieve a great feat, truly. There are a good many hattles to be fought between this and the middle of September, and every team in the race vet has a chance for first’ honors. However, should the strug- gle continue as close and exciting on to the end the honor would be an idle one at best, as the winner could claim but precious lit- tle superiority over its plucky competitors. DAXON'S O] Prospects Flattering for Wheeling. M. O. Daxon, the enterprising Sixtcenth street bicycle man, has completed the most eleborate preparations for his first annual tournament to be held on the fair grounds nrext Saturday, June 80. The popularity of the management insures success and thero will doubtiess be several hundred byke assembled on the appointed day all ca to demonstrate their superiority over each other. There never has been such a lively interest In wheel affairs in Omaha as exists today and the probabilities are exceedingly good for a big crowd of spectators.

Smith, George Pullman, J. E. Cavenaugh, judges; Louis Richenberg, George Willlamson, B, P. Walker, ti keepers; Henry Beard, starter, and £d Cox, clerk of the course.

The local patrons of base ball have a cheerful surprise in store for them within the next ten days. Contrary to prevailing belief, the management has been striving industriously for the past month t strengthen the team, but the scarcity of any- thing like good material has made this im- possible up to date, but last night Manager Rourke recelved Information from an agent in the south that by the next ten days he would have secured the services of several players for Omaha that ould fill the bill to perfection. He added, however, that there might be some delay in getting the men, but that he would have them in good time.

A party of the Tourists will soon ride over the Red Oak Century course with the ostensible purpose of establishing a record. The course has not been gone over by an Omaha party since several years ago, when theé Omaha Wheel club hoys made it the scene of their annual club century. The trip was then made on ordinarie: The Guanymede Wheel club of Council Bluffs is agitating a race meet to be pulled off in July or September on the mile track at the Bluffs Driving park. The track is a dandy and can be placed in perfect condition in a very short time. The 'Medes will re- celve the hearty co-operation of the Omaha wheelmen if they decide to hold their tour- nament. Harry Diller, a half mile on the W and (succeeded In smashing the world's record by one-fifth of a second. Pete Berlo and A. B. Rich then pedaled a tandem around the oval, establishing a world's rec- ord for that class of machine, their time being 57 seconds flat. The quarter was ridden in 28% seconds. These records were for standing start. Tom Eck's protege, ‘*Yonnic Yonson," Is the king pin of class B riders this season. He has defeated Sanger and the other fast “B" men in several scratch races this sea- son. His exhibition mile on the Waltham track fn 2:03 1-5 was an eye-opener to the public who attend the bicycle meets, and demonstrated that the “little Swede” the speed and has at no time been under- estimaled as a cand'date for the laurel that Zimmie left behins Messrs.

O. Daxon steps forward and ‘announces that he will give a tourna ment at the fair grounds at the date above named. He has gotten up the prize list himeelf, and the meet will be run under his personal management and supervision, alded, of course, by several of the prominent locai cyelists. The Omaha boys will all be there, and speedy men from Lincoln, Grand Isiand, Fremont and Council Bluffs will be in at tendance. A grand lantern parade of the wheelmen will probably be held fn the even- ing. The step taken by Mr. Daxon s one in the right dircction, as just such events are necessary to revive the flagging interest in cycling. The grand stand should be filled to overflowing.
