A 008 PRINCIPALS IN LAST NIGHT'S RING FENDED HIS CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE CLI OPPONENT THROUGHOUT THE TEN ROUNDS OF CONTEST, IN WHICH THE LY, MAINTAINING COLORED MAN ENERGETIC FIGHTING. FROM BALTIMORE DE- DECISIVE LEAD OVER HIS GAME B - JOLTY left few inches Fitzgerald' which traveled but a dissipated all Willie champlonship aspira- tions last night in his fight with Joe Gans in Mechanics’ Pavilion It was early in the tenth round when Gans landed the decisive blow, and it completely upset Fitzgerald's balance for an instant. Gans saw _the opening instantly and landed left and -right to the jaw with the precision and the power of a steam hammer, turning Fitz la completely around. Fitzgerald sank slowly to his knees and then lay prone on the mat while the faie- ful ten seconds were being tolled off Ly the timekeeper. Gans was the master of the situation at all times. All styles of going seemed to suit him. He was the polished box at all times, and when it came to Fiiz- gerald’s favorite style of slugging he stood up and exchanged blow for blow. He was the aggressor throughout. Fitzgerald tried Britt's crouch, but like Eddie Hanlon, he had not developed it to the point where he could deliver an effective blow. Gans had a good humored look on his face throughout the contest. When the fight was over he dressed quickly and was soon strolling down the street as unconcerned as though a chara- plonship battle was not a serious master to him. GANS A WONDER. He was the personification of a cham- plon throughout the. fight, being the ag- gressor at all times. He never allowed Fitzgerald to set in order to deliver a blow, but kept continually upsetting his balance, making his efforts futile. The contest was one-sided throughout, but Gans' cleverness and Fitzagerald's game- ness gave the spectators full measure. Contrary to expectations, Fitzgerald did not make as impressive a showing as when he fought Britt. At that any man would suffer in comparison with Gans. Many of the spectators thought Gans could have won in less time had he so desired. Gans was overweight and Manager Weedon refused at first to let Fitzgerald go on. It was finally decided to split the purse in half instead of dividing it 60 and 4 per cent, as original agreed. The total gate receipts were $7650. There was a little ridge of flesh above Gans' belt. which showed he was not down to his lowest point. He indulged himeelf with water on his way from San Rafael, which indicates he was not wor- ried on the question of weight. Jimmy Britt was surrounded by a crowd of ring followers after the contest and his opinion was frequently asked. To all inquiries Jimmy stated he thought he could beat Gans. “‘I know one thing,” he said, “Gans would not hit me as often as he hit Fitzgerald. If he will fight me at 133 pounds I'll meet him. My money is up and he can have a battle as soon he comes to terms. I think I can beat Gans and am ready to prove my assertion.” REFEREE GRANEY’'S VIEWS. When the fight was over Referee Eddie Grancy made the following statement: “It was a good, clean fight. Gans is a marvel and in my opinion is in a class by himself. A battle between him and — CHAMPION GANS SAYS HE MADE CAREFUL FIGHT OE GANS, the wvietor of last night's contest, made the following . statement after the battle: “There was never a time in the fight that I thought I | would lose. I looked upon Fitzgerald as a dangerous man and took no chances. He can hit hard with either hand, and I was there to prevent his glove landing on my jaw. The blow I landed on my opponent was a short left jolt, followed by a number of blows. He did not hurt me at any stage of the battle. I did not find him hard to hit, but I was on the lookout for wild swings. I am ready to fight any one in the world at my weight. I have proven my claim to the title of champion, and if Britt or any one else desires to take it from me, he will find me ready to give him a battle.” ! % L3 Jimmy Britt would be well worth seeing. Fitzgerald is a game boy, but was out- classed. When I walked over to his cor- ner after he had been counted out Willie looked at me and said: ‘It's not over, Mr. Graney? and 1 had to tell him again he had lost. Both men fought fairly and obeyed my instructions. During the con- test T would call upon them to break. At one time I called, ‘Joe, let go,’ and Gans said, ‘I'm not holding, Mr. Graney." I replied, ‘I wan’'t you both to break. Both men were told at the beginning of the contest that they would get a fair deal and I gave it to them. itzgerald should not be disheartened by his defeat. He met a marvelous boxer in (ans.” ‘When seen in his dressing-room after the battle Fitzgerald seemed much de- pressed. He sald he had done his best and tried hard to win. He said Jimmy Britt would have a good chance against Gans. He also expressed the highest opinion of Gans. He .thinks greatest fighter in the world. The last preliminary battle was over at 10:15 p. m., but the big men did not put in an appearnce until 10:40. Gans was first to appear. As he walked through the great crowd he was given a hearty cheer. He was attired In a buff-colored bath robe and looked in splendid condition, being fresh and vigorous. He was accompa- nied by his manager, Al Herford, Pro- fessor Burng, ‘‘Medals” Dukelow and Johnny English. Fitzgerald did not put in an appearnce until five rhinutes later. He was followed by his manager, George him the i Weeden, and his seconds, Alec Greggains, Harry Foley, Eddie Hanlon and Billy Otts. | Fitz was given an ovation. He had won many friends since his initial appearance and they filled the house. Billy Jordan troduced Fitz as the Brooklyn “crack- erjack” and Gans as the champion of the world. Gloves were donned and both men were called to the center of the ring for advice from Referee Gramey. Willie Britt on behalf of his brother challenged the winner. The announcer stated that $1000 had been deposited at Harry Corbett's to bind a match. Buddie King also challenged the winner. Eddie Hanlon was given & hearty greeting when presented, as was also Harry Foley, who fights in Los Angeles next month. Jimmy Britt was scen hurrying down the aisie and was forced to enter the ring and be introduced. He jumped through the ropes and after being presented to the spectators shook hands with Fitzgerald and his colored rival. Gans wore a su- | percilious smile as he took Britt's prof- | fered hand. Britt did not look at Gans when he shook his hand, and scemed glad the ceremony was over. - BATTLE BY ROUNDS. Description of the Contest as Seen by Expert Follower of the Game.

Each of the south- ern clubs leads by a neat margin. From | indicatiohs it appears they will retain the grip on first place for the time being at least. Any club that manages to slip in ahead of them will have to play ball at a rapid clip in order to turn the tri K. Morley's gathering has the larger lead and a much better percentage, considering the number of games it has played. The club has done well when away from ime. So far Reilly’s team of Pacific National League has played great ball, but most of the victories were secured on the home grounds and with the weak clubs of the Jeague. The team has only been awi from home a week and that was to this city, where they easily took Me( loskey's followers into camp. The progress of the team will be eagerly watched when it leaves the home stamp ing ground next week for the first real live trip on the road. Spokane is Reilly’s destination, and, as the Spokane team is a good third in the pennant race of the Pacific National League, some lively games are expected when the two clubs hook up. ¥ Reilly's team does anywhere near when away from home what they have been doing on the native fleld, it is about a 1 to 2 bet they will make a hard race for the flag if they do not land it. California talent seems to be making a hit in the Mormon City. At present there are four amateurs of this city playing on the Salt Lake team of the Utah League. All are making good with a vengeance. Jimmy Byrnes and Dick Eagan, both of whom were given a trial by Uncle Henry, are playing good ball for Salt Lake, and | Al Mauser and Christie, the old Califor- nia trainer, are also doing good work | S the baseball older the two teams representing Los An- season grows and are well liked by the fans of the Mormon City. Henry Lynch, the stocky little center fielder of Uncle's team, seems to have struck his gait at last and is now begin- ning to play the game in real earnest. For several weeks past Lynch has ap- pFar"d out’ of his eiement, but now that the weather is beginning to grow more torrid, his work has improved about 100 per cent and from now on he 1s due to hit them out as hard as any m=% 0n the team. Pete Lohman is now on the lookout for a good shortstop to take the place of Johnson, who is about to join the Roches- ter Club of the Eastern League. Jonnson | has not appeared at his best while out | here and Pete is very anxious to get a shortstop who will act something after the style of Buck Francks. The postponed game of Tuesday will be played off on the Oakland diamona this morning at 10 ¢’clock. In the afternoon the game will be called at 2:30 so as to accommodate the holiday crowd.

Milton Hayes heaped coals of fire on his own head when he announced that “Spider” Welch was the winner of his contest with Louis Long of Oakland. The crowd hooted him roundly. and when the fair haired Oakland boxer left the ring he was given a tremendous cheer. Three- | aster fourths of the people in the building thought TLong should have had the de- cision. It is true that Welch made a spléendid showing. but he was in distress at least three times during the contest. It was the best preliminary battle seen in the Pavilion in many months. Both lads fought every inch of the way and had the spectators in an excited frame of mind. Blood flowed freely and each boxer took punches that would have meant defeat to ordinary men. In the fifth round Long proceeded to hammer his man into insensibility and was doing, BOXER GANS KNOCKS OUT FITZGERALD IN TEN ROUNDS CHAMPION HAS HIS OPPONENT TIPTOEING FROM START TO FINISH OF THE CONTEST UNCLE’S TOSSERS PILE UP TALLIES AS THEY PLEASE Eighteen Runs Come Over the Plate and Seventeen Base Hits Are Registered Oakland Players Put Up Wretched Game in Field and Make Eight Errors Los Angeles Sacra o . 608/ Oakland §.

Score, San Franecisco 18, Oakland 6. There was hardly a good feature to the game. Not one of the players on either side seemed to care what happ: after the first few rounds were over, and the battle dragged itself along for two weary hours. The home team easily took the lead when it got info the running properly and there never was a bit of danger the Oaklanders heading them. To add to the misfortunes of the da Peter Lohman was shy a man. Johnso his shortstop, left for Rochester earli in the day, so Kruger had to be brought in from left field to play the short field position. How he succeeded is best told by the score. He had only a few chances and most of them he missed.
