Now that it's all over, and poor old Ruby Robert has gone down before a man who would not have been able to hold down the job of third assistant spar fing partner for Fitz .0 years ago, these rosy dreams of “coming back’ make pathetic reading. At the risk of making this a issue” of The Star, a word or two more of the grand old feiiow must be written. Bob Fitzsimmons was born in Elston, Cornwall, high hopes of country of bis England, June forge in Australia. He left Kangarooland 20 years ago, be discouraged over a defeat by Jim Hall, who, after The had fought his way steadily up the ladder, knocked bim cold in four rounds. FITZ A_ JEST When Fitz first landed in San Francisco, a gawky lad, whose ap pearance invited ridicule, he was regarded as a joke, but after he had disposed of some of the trial horses sent against him with apparent ease, the pugilistic spotlight located him After knocking out the Black Pearl tn four rounds, he beat Jack Dempsey to a feather duster for the middleweight title, in 12 rounds. Fitzsimmons’ meteoric has no parallel in pugilistic history. From an unknown he jumped to the front rank at a bound and remained there to the last, He took them ail on, big and little, beating them with out a rest, until he became middleweight and heavyweight champion of the world. Then he ran into defeated Jim Daly, Ed. Dunkhorta. four lasting 11 rounds. Fitz took saccumbed in elght rounds. he was ase ooo career Jim Jeffries and lost his crown, Rublin and Tom Sharkey, another chance at Jeffries then, but he quickly Gus and It was after the second fight with the big fellow that Fitz began “" 5 slipping, aud he continued to go back until he was put away, first by}, M*nager Stallings of the Yan- Jack O'Brien and then by Jack Johnson pa ah ple ly alia a (por k Joh the National league's new president, 0 0 6 nearly 20 years ago, when the big MR.
