SIX CLOSE-UPS g OF FIGHTANG FITZ iscences of a Twenty-Seven Years’ Intimacy Yith Great Fighter —The One Blst on His Ring Es- cutcheon in Australia Told by Himself, - CLOSE-UP NO. 3. By William H. Rocap. Bob Fitzsimmons was still a mere boy when he threw his hat into the Australian ring as a full-fledged pro- fessional, being scarcely eighteen years of age. He was, however, a man physically, with a heart as stout as his body was strong. He seemed to possess the mental balance of a matured man and all the recuperative powers and ambitions which come with youth. He possessed also a con- fidence in himself which spelled vic- tory. Height, reach and abnormal kbitting ability, his back and shoulder muscles having been developed in wonderful fashion by his work at the forge. He started out by beating his first opponent in three rounds. . In succession he flattened tw: e other men,, not one staying over eight rounds. Fitz always dropped them quick. He usually spent a round or two sizing his man up and then put- ting the finishing touch with a single jolt to the jaw. After winning thirteen profession fights in such a.decisive fashion’the statisticians and makers of record books began to sit up and take notlce. They saw in the lanky Cornishman a real champion. Matches came quickly but the purses were small. They had the betting fever in the Antipodes and the ailment appeared to be infectioms. Fifty pounds was considered a hiz big purse for any fighter, but if stood in with the book-makers he was generally handed a good-sized bag of coin. It was that lure that made Fitz commit the greatest mistake of his ring career, one which had made him often sigh and which prompted h®m to tell the writer that he wished he could live his life over. It was jus: to correct that one mistake that he vearned for another cance. In December, 1889, Fitz had beaten Dick Ellis in Sydney in a most deci- sive manner. Jim Hall had risen lke a meteor in the puglistic world. He ‘was the bookmakers' pet.” They we) ready to wager their all that he could beat the world. Fitz was the only ob- EXEMPTION CLAIMS FOR J. G.

They were not so sure that Hall was cap- able of beating the lanky Cornishman. A match, however, was made, and Fitz began to train as he had never trainad before. At first or at least when the match was made, Hall was the fav- orite. -His adherents said he possess- ed the class and no slugger could reach Jim Hall. The rank and file, however, plurged heavily on Fitz. Many recalled his cleancut conquests while working at the forge. They had wlso seen him finish off his opponents [n an artistic fashion. They believed Fitz could both outbox and. outpunch Hall and they back up their belief with sovereigns. Fitz money .flooded the bookmakers. It would never do for him to win. They would all be broke. What was to be done? No | sne seemed abie to divine. It was not antil almost the hour of the fight that the problem was solved. A short, pudgy bookmaker blurted out that Fitz -must not win. Il fix nim, he ejactu’ated. And he did. Be- | fore going into the ring Fitz was told that if he won he would not get a cent. If he lost they would go fifty- fifty on their winnings. In other words, he would be declared in on the clean-up. Fitz was in a quandary. His brain was.in a whirl. “I never suffered so much mental torture be- fore in my life,” said Fitz to the writ- er. “I had spent every cent I pos- sessed in training and paying my helpers and, figuratively, I was flat broke. The temptation was too much and 1 vielded. The incident and the sequel made a black page in my his- tory and how often have I yearned to £0 ‘back and blot it out” That was Fitzs constant plaint. On February 10, 1890, was the date. While his feet seemed loggy and with a cobwebbed brain he was even able to hit Hall al- most at will. He feared to put any steam in his blows. A huge placard of poverty stared him in the face no matter to which side of the ring he moved. He could stand the mental! distress no ,longer. In the fourth round he stepped in with a weak lead, his shoulder lowered. and Hall jolted { him on the jaw and he flopped to the floor of the ring and was counted out. His limp body was half dragged to his corner by his alert seconds and in a few’ minutes he resained conscious ness. Fitz was a good actor so far as ring artifice and cunning was consid- ered and his feigned knockout took. The bookies collected their money and poor Fitz after all his mental suf- ferings and blackening his reputation amount. Squeal, and we will drive Fitz did not want to be driven. He feared that his workmen - friends would discover his perfidy and that would break his He gathered together szouga money and set sail for America, lan ing in San Francisco in the early spring of the same year. Barring the contest with Hall he left an illustrious record behind him in Kangaroo ‘land. So enthusisstic were the real sportsmen of that clime over his achievement that he was sent | out to the world as an Australian. The public was made to forget that he was a born Cornishman. Up to a few years ago the blacksmith shop in Ti- mura. New Zealand, was still a land- mark with Lanky Bob’s name over the door. It was the pride of the village and it was a monument to his boyhood days.

The suggestion' which has been made to thé American league club owners to pool the players and receipts next season will be strongly oppbsed by the National league, according to a state- ment made by President John K. Ten- er_recently. “It is not in harmony with the spirit of baseball,” said President Tener. “T do not believe that the American league intends taking any such action. I am’ quite sure that the National league club owners would not even consider such a move. In the first place the satisfactory placing of the star players would be a cifficult prob- lem to decide, in fact it seems that it would be impossible to accomplish it in a way which would be satisfac- tory to all clubs.” i Other baseball men who talked about plan were surprised at such a rad- ical suggestion from a veteran club owner like Charles A. Comiskey, the owner of the world’s champion White Sox. For many years this general shifting of players has heen one fea- ture of the-game which the leagues have been trying to avoid. The sale or trade of star players from weak clubs to stronger ;clubs Has caused no end of trouble in baseball, and only a year ago the National league passed an amendment g forbiddiug the sale yexs_fromt ome club to another Millions of miles ground out under the Cars of the Test Car Fleets in widely different regions of our nation, have taught the last- ing strength of the Unit-Mold, Unbroken- Cure body of these matchless fabric tires. “America’s Tested Tires” alone give you the benefit of the lessons of the Goodrich Test Cars.

The same sort of objection was made in the American league when Tris Speaker went to Cleveland. Any move which at all savors of syn- dicate baseball is now frowned upon ! by both baseball club owners and| baseball public, - So it i impossible | that the major leagues will venture| anv such radical move. Syndicate baseball has heen success- fully wiped out of both leagues, the last instance of it being a few seasons ago when Charles W. Murphy of Chi- cago was also interested in the Phila- delphia club. The same cwnership of any {wo or more clubs has a tendency to make the public suspicious. The! Federal ieague. could not wain the con- | fidence of the public because it was known that the league placed its play- ers, around in different clubs. The very fact however, that Owner Comiskey even suggested such prop- osition indicates that the club owners are worrying about the coming season. The daraft is sure to hit the clubs, harder than it did last season and several of the clubs ar> in danger of | losing many of their younger players.
