BOXING.

A FIGHT FOE, “FITZ.” TO STAY FOUR FOUNDS WITH McCOY. PHILADELPHIA, March 25. Philadelphia sports are getting together a suitable purse for Bob' Fitzsimmons if he undertakes to stop with “Kid” McCoy for four rounds, or retire to his trade. This will be Fitzsimmons’s first appearance in the ring since he was defeated in Australia by Lang. CHAMPION AD WO. LG AST. HOW HE INDULGES IN UNFAIR TACTICS; . NEW YORK, March 25. Critics state that Ad Wolgast’s recent fights bestowed little credit on him. He showed no footwork, and his hitting pow y er was that of a second-rater. “When he slips down," says one authority, “he carefully sees that his gloves are smothered with , resin before he ; rises, and then li.e rasps his glove across his opponent’s, face until it is blistered and bleeding. ■' “If he is not favoured by the referee :he uses his elbows. He has only the slenderest hold on the championship.”'
