-““T WAS DRUGGEDr BY ROBERT FITZSIMMONS. Rodert Fitzsimmons, champton heavy-| 66 weight pugilist of the world until last June, when James Jeffries knocked him out and won the title at the Coney Is- land Athletic Club, amazed the sport- ing world to-day by deliberately stating that he was beaten by the criminal use of drugs. The news was stunning, Nothing which has happened in fisticuffs in years has had so startling an effect. Men who lost or won thousands on that sur- prising fight left thelr business to tack about the stupendous charge of the ex- champion. Some paid “I told you #0" end some “I can't believe it." But all remem- dered a fact which they who saw the fight saw and commented on, and which every newspaper reporting it printed In biack and white—he fact that Robert Fitasimmons was not putting up his usual Nght; he did not seem to be him- eek. WHAT CORBETT SAID. In the thick of the fight—the newapa- pers recorded It—Corbett, watching the battle with the clear eyes of one who knows the came sald: “If Fitasimmons had made such @ fight as this against me | would still be champton of the world, Something seems to be wrong with him.” And Corbett had his money on Pits+ simmons. Fitzsimmons refuses to point the finger of accusation against any man What he charges i» this, that the water which he drank had been dragged with} other powerful opiate became benumbed.

My upper lip was a trifle puffed, but aside from that I was unhurt. But my mind was almost a blank, and continued 80 for nearly {wo mor This condi. tion gradually wore away, and little by, litde 2 regained my former strength of mind. “Finally when the affairs of the night of the fight began to become tangible I Mi a r 1 bottles.
