HOPE IS VIRTUALLY GONE
V
k ' CHICAGO, Oct 19
' Old Bob Fltzslmmons. the greatest boxer
I of til tlmp was on the verge of a knockout
. today In the hlggest fight of his career a
battle xx 1th death
The old ring hero, xvhom hork and up
percut failed to stop, xvas sloxvly taking tho
count from pneumonia, "only a question of
! hours," the doctors said.
At 1 o'clock this afternoon Fltzslmmonf
f was still conscious, but visibly weaker, and
i lire. Fltzslmmons stated ho xx-as "not e-
pected to li through the day "
' She had not left his side since he xvas
taken to the horpltal nnd Is on tho verge
t Of nervous oollaii-v
I All hope that Fltzslmmons might xveather
, the attack as ho had stalled through
! itorms of bloxxs by courage and cunning ln
, the past had been nbandoncd by every one
) exery one except the ancient gladiator
, himself
"I'll xvln out If they'll let mo' alone,"
panted Fltz weakly at Michael Reee Hos
' pltal early today. "1'vo got a, fighting

1 Fltz, who at one tlmo held three titles
heavyweight light heax-yxvclght and middle
weight champion contracted a cold sev
1 aril days ago xvhlle appearing In a vaude
, Tills act at a Southsldc theatre.
I Gamely he stuck nt his xvork until he col
li lapsed Wedn sday morning. Then his xvlfe,
Mrs. Tina Fltzslmmons, forced him to go to
j the hospital Sho has been nt his bedside
I constantly since then.
i
Fhxslelans at the hospital declareu toaay
that both of th,e rid man's lungs and his
heart are nffec-ted and that he has but a

Fltzslmmons xvas born In Cornwall, Eng

Australia xvhen a boy and built up his xvon
ierful Physique as a blacksmith. After xvln

tinent ho came to the United States In the
early 90s.
Irf this country he xvon the mlddlexx-etght

OUR GOLF COURSES
PUTTER
Mrs O. II. Munson. runner up In the
Bethellyn Cup. and a host of others will
play. It Is possible that Mrs. Clarence H.
nnderbeck. the national champion of 1916,
also will pluy.
On Thursday, Friday nnd Saturday of the
same week tho annual fall tournament of
the Country Club of Atlantic City will be
pl.iyed. It virtually ends the season for
men golfers In this vicinity and as the tour
nament Is earlier than In provlous year a
large entry list Is expected The course Is
In xery good condition nnd the early fall
weather Is Ideal. While the Atlantic City
cour-e Is ery windy, this element Is not
so much a hazard as It will be later In the
month.
Where Golf Is Played Year Round
Probably more players golf oxer the At
lantic City course the year round than any
where else ln the country At one time tho
club charged Jl a day for the privileges of
the course during the xveek and 2 for Pat.
tirdays and Sundays. Utit so great xvas
the demand for the prlx lieges that a flat
rate of ?2 Is now charged In spite of tho
fact that the course Is virtually In play
eight hours a day for 365 days In the year
II Is In splendid condition But It xvas ,
realiy not until Clarence II deist built tho
Senvlexv course that the Country Club
nwoke to the fact that It xvas necessary to
put back a lot of money on the course
In the last txvo years, under the green
committee management of I'.enry Me
Sweeny, tho cluh has greatly stiffened the
course by new traps. Some of the greens
haxo been greatly Improved and altogether
It Is n genuine pleasure to play over the
Northlleld links. Phlhidelphlans have al- (
xx ays been prominent among the entries nnd
most of the prizes haxe been brought homo
by the Quaker city golfers and there is
exery Indication that this xvlll be n fruitful
fall for them The tournament last fall xvas
won by J S Worthlngton, tho Hrltlsh golfer,
xx ho outclassed the field
TIIK skill of a golfer Is estimated largely
by tho control he exercises ox-er the Im
plements of h's game. This control Is an
absolute nccet slty If one expects to reach
a high ax-err ge of nchlex-ement, and yet
perhaps fexv after
all actually rcallie
its alue. Control
x-aries to a marked
degree ex-en with
the expert, and It Is
this variation that
has made the game
xvhat It Is the
most fascinating
game under the
sun If man xvere
a perfect machine,
and a golf course
xvere a billiard ta
ble, then xve might
have a fairly Inter
esting mathemati
cal problem, but
the human equa
tion the element
of uncertainty Is
always present ln
CHARLES EVANS
the good old game tit golf.
With so many clubs of such various use
and so small a ball to direct. I think that
tho marvel is that the degree of control Is
so great. It was Just the other day at
Ravlsloe that all the circumstances con
spired to bring about good play, and on
three holes In succession I had putts of
three feet, or les, for threes on holes meas
uring from 380 to 160 yards. The member
of another fou--ball match xx-ho had been
giving considerable attention to mine, said:
"I don't see hoxv you do that with so many
things to be taken Into consideration, such
as kind of lie, air, club, ball, right loft of
club blade at contact, management of slice
nnd pull spin, ex en your oxvn physical make
upeverything. In fact, that goes Into the
making of a good golf shot."
Hard Practice Necessary
Control must come from Intelligent prac
tice; It means hard xvork and years of ex
perience. T-icro Is an old proverb that
says, "Practice makes the master," and
that Is surely truo of goir. rxo piaycr can
Jump Into championship rank ln one or two
years, or even three years, and It Is at
least six, or seven years before he can
hope to xvln a truly big event If a com
paratively Inexperienced person does by
any chance win against the well-seasoned
player, there Is usually some very good ex
planation of the Improbable occurrence.
Practice counts, and tournament experience
counts.
Progress of Control
The progress of control Is written on the
pages of practice, and at the present day
there are some brilliant examples of con
trol. I suppose no golfer has ever lived
xvho thinks he has played a round ln
xvhich he has controlled ail his clubs, but
there Is the Travis xvlth his putter, the
Travers with his run-up Iron, the Outmet
xvlth his mldlron, and others who have
acquired big reputations because they really
are nble to control some particular club.
At the critical moment, nine times out of
ten, they can send their thought from club
to ball and land the little white sphere In
the spot selected. I think that each and
all of them have reached this degree of
skill by hard practice.
I know that any ability to control my
shots has come to me by that hard route.
You have control of a club when by long
use your directing thought travels through
your arm and hand to the club as If It
were a part of It, and from the club to the
ball as If It, too, were but a continuation
of the arm.

CHANGE OF JOCKEYS IN BIG RACE
ENABLES HOURLESS TO WIN FROM
OMAR KHAYYAM ON LAUREL TRACK
Butwell Makes a Mess of Things in Earlier Race
and Robinson Gets Mount, Winning
Greatest Contest of Year
By ROBERT
TH12 big match race between Hourless
nnd Omar Khayyam xvas decided nt
laurel, Md , yesterday afternoon about an
hour before the horses xx-ent to tho post.
Hourlcss xvon tho big event xvlth the $10,
000 purse, gold cup, bouquet of floxvers and
everything, but a boss named Masda
a pretty good nag at that got tangled up
In the affair during the second race and
proceeded to gum up things for the Khay
am camp. This Is hoxv it happened:
The Fads nnd Fancies purse xxas called
and a Hot It of two-year-olds sauntered past
tho grand stand In review before the r.ic'.
Masda xvas the favorite and Ilutxvell hud
the mount This samo Jockey xxas sched
uled to rldo IIourles, and Trainer Ram C.
Hlldreth xx-as on hand to watch his xvork.
When the barrier dropped, Masda got off to
ii poor start and finished almost last. Hll
dreth decided that Ilutwell mado a sjd
showing and erased his name ns pilot of
llourless. Hohlnson xvas substituted nnd It
proved to be a very xxlse moxe. It xvlll bo
remembered that Iiutwell dropped his whip
In the home stretch In the Realization
stakes and this Is said to hax-e lost the race
for the Belmont colt.
The sudden switch mystified the huge
croixil for a time, but It did not affect the
betting. llourless had Just as many fol.
Ioucrs ns before nnd n few tons of legnl
tender xvere placed on his chances. Omar,
too, had his loyal supporters and tho ma
chines clicked merrily until post time.
llourless, looking like n black marble
statue, seemed to be the least concerned of
nny one nt the track before the race started.
With his legs bandaged and hlu body
coxered by a xxhlto blanket, he sloxvly
xx-alked xvlth stately strides before tho
grandstand He recelx-ed no moro attention
than an opeia Btar. Txvo stable boys led
him by the halter, a rubber xx-alked beside
lilm and Sam Hlldreth trotted along ln the
rear The Uelmont colt did not take ii
xvorkout like Omar Khayyam. Tho Cana
