(Spectal to The Evening World.) ETROIT, Mich., Jan. 13.—Willie Fitzgerald's one chance to snatch the D light-weight title from Joe Gans in the ninth round of their bout at the Armory last night went for naught, because the Baltimore boy | in the preceding eight periods had attended to his task in such a workman-! like manner that Fitzgerald had not sufficient strength left to go on and make a quick finish of it. Tim Hurst, the referee of the bout, gave the decision to Gans. fair really decided itself. A little lack of headwork on Fitzgerald's part at this stage of the game tided Gans to pull out of a bad place, jist as a little lack of judgment in| some earlier stages had allowed Gans to go on and pile up @ big lead that made it impossible for Fitz to win by anything other than a knockout when he did get going in the ninth and tenth Gans Had All His Speed. In addition to showing his speed and cleverness to a Detroit audience, Gans proved to a wider circle his ability to get down close to the light- weight limit. The bout was at 135 pounds at 6 o'clock, When they stepped on the scales each had sufficient margin on the weight to avoid trembling ths beam. This was the Hghtest weight that Gans had done in some time, and there was considerable doubt throughout the country of his ability to make it, The reduction may have affected him somewhat, for he seemed to tire rather quickly in the ninth when Fitz got to him. Up to this time he had not taken any great amount of punishment, his cleverness giving him the whip hand. Fitzgerald seemed to have no con- fidence in himself in these early rounds, and occasionally stopped fighting entirely. merely covering up to ward off Gans’s attempts for his jaw. Fitzgerald’s Mistake in Not Using His Right. Fitzgerald's error of judgment referred to above, was in trying to box Gans, when, from the fourth round, it was apparent that his one chance was to go in and mix it, using a right that was sadly neglected until near the closing round, His chances would have been mightily improved had he found employ- ment for this right early in the game. By rushing and using both hands The af- he had a chance to win that way. He had no possibie chance by trying to OX, The fourth round keyed the contest. In that period, near its start, Gans scored the first knockdown—a clean one that looked like the beginning of the end. Fitzgerald came right back at him and made a fight that might have been the winning kind, rushing and throwing his left into the stomach, This was the weak point of Gans’s anatomy, and it was the point that Harry Tuthill tried to get Fitzgerald to peg away at in the latter periods, when, with Gans stalling, Fitz was trying to whip over a knockout punch to the jaw. When Gans’s Work Was Effective. Gans's work in the eight rounds in which he won the decis.on was not especially showy, but was wondrously effective, The champion showed a willingness to box his man, and kept on top of him as much as possible, using jabs and hooks that did not travel far, but that cut and stung when they landed, gradually tiring Fitzgerald. Few of Gans’s blows travelled any distance, those that did being chiefly a straight right as he rushed his man or an uppercut swung in by way of variety. His use of the left at short range was the artistic feature, the mem- ber being hooked over when it seemed Yo be already blocked and beating Fitzgerald's efforts to stop {*, Fitz Had Gans Groggy in Ninth. Fitzgerald did his best in the ninth and had Gans groggy, but failed to follow up an advantage. The tenth was also his round, but the mischief had been done in the eight preceding rounds. ‘There were 4,000 persons at the ringside. Both boys weighed in under the scale, 135 pounds at 6 o'clock. , Willie Spracklin, of Windsor, beat Morris Rauch, of Chicago, in ten rounds, in one of the preliminaries. Rauch hurt his ankle in the fourth round and was slowed up by the accident. In the other bout Walter Parker, of Chicago, substituted for “Stockings” Kelly, was stopped in seven rounds by Harry Cobb, of this city. Parker made a good fight, but could not get by Cobb’s defense. He went down twice, and the second time seemed to be in no shape to continue MILE NEW AUTO RECORD) | T'WEN ain the record for a mile has, been ‘This ime old 999, with Oldfield sprang i over a straighta New (Spectal to The Evening World.)

Not since prize-fights were first pulled off in private in this vicinity have there been so many of them held in Greater New York as there were from Saturday night until midnight last night. No leas than seven battles have been decided in that time, indicating that the admirers of pugilism in this city are hungry for the game and will gladly give up #2 and take a chance at being lodged in jail to see two scrap- pers at it. ‘Two fights were scheduled to be brought off last night, but only one of them took place, that being be- tween Wille Reilly, of South Brook- lyn, and Ike Cohen, the English feather-weight, The “go" between Joe Wagner, of Brooklyn, and “IXid" Murphy, of this city, for the 106- pound championship of Greater New York, did not come off, it being post- poned until’a later date. An Unsatistactory Fight. The battle between Reilly and Co- hen, which was held in the Bronx, ended very unsatisfactorily, the sec- onds of Cohen jumping into the ring while the men were fighting the seventh round and refusing to permit thelr man to fight any longer.
