FITZSIMM0NS STILL
IN GRAVE CONDITION
Former World's Ring Champion
Battling Against Severe
Attack of Pneumonia
CHICAGO, Oct. 20.
, Old nob Fltzslmmons. tho greatest boxer
of nil time, was on the verge of a knockout
today In the biggest fight of his career a
battle with death.
Tho old ring hero, whom bock', and up
pcrcut failed to stop, was slowly taking tho
count from pneumonia, "only a question of
hours," tho doctors said.
At 1 o'clock this morning Fltzslmmons
was still conscious, but visibly weaker, and
Mrs. Fltzslmmons stated ho was "not ex
pected to II to through the day "
She bad not left his side slnco ho wns
taken to the hot-pital and Is on tho verge
of nervous collapse.
All htpo that Fltzslmmons might weather
the attack, as ho had stalled through
storms of blows by courage and cunning In
tho past, had been abandoned by every one
every one except the ancient gladiator
himself.
Fltz, who at ono tlmo held three titles
heavyweight, light heavyweight and middle
weight champion contracted a cold sev
eral days ago while appearing In a vaude
rlllo act at a Southslde theatre .
Gamely he stuck at his work until hi col
lapsed Wednesday morning. , Then his wife,
Mrs. Tina Fltzslmmons, forced him to go to
the hospital. She has been at his bedside
constantly slnco then.
Physicians at (he hospital declared today
that both of the eld man's lungs and his
heart are affected and that he has but a
few hours to live. His children, Itobert, Jr.,
Martin nnd Ilosalie havo been summoned
from Dunellen, N. J.
Fltzslmmons was born In Cornwall, Eng
land, fifty-seven years ago. He went to
Australia, when a boy and built up his won
derful physique as a blacksmith. After win
ning the boxing championship of that con
tinent he came to the United States In the
early 90s.
In this country he won the middleweight
title from Jack Dempsey, the light heavy
weight title from Georgo Gardner and the
heavyweight belt from Jim Corbett. He lost
the latter championship when he was
knocked out by Jim Jeffries,

The industrial Basketball League held
a meeting a month or so ago, at which

put n un appearance, namely, Fairbanks
and Dobson.
Tho organization Is going along without
a leader, the president, "Caddy" Franklin,
being In tho service of Uncle Sam and
Harry Schrovcr has been directing affairs
He has appointed a secretary, who Is on
the Job, and has forwarded eighteen letters
to the city's largest establishments. Slnco
the initial meeting two of hist year's clubs
have sent word that they will again bo In
the field, and two' new applications have
been received. The outlook, therefoie, for
another successful campaign Is exceedingly
bright. A meeting has been called for next
Thursr.iy evening at S o'clock at the Hotel

By RODEIIT W. MAXWELL
FOmins FIELD, Pittsburgh, Oct. 20
The most Important football game In the
Hast was staged here today between the
I'nlversity of Pittsburgh nnd tho heavy
Syracuse eleven. It was billed ns a "major
league contest," und this startled the natives
somewhat because nothing that even re
sembled major league stuff has been put
on ut Forbes Field for many a day
Lest there l somo doubt, allow us to
stato that the Pittsburgh ball club played
on this field all year.
Because It piomlsed to be a regular bat
tle, a largo crowd turned out to bee tho
game. Tho stands were high, dry and
comfortable, but tho playing field was wet,
soggy nnd slippery. Tho enthusiastic rain
which fell all day esterday made ' the
gridiron nice and soft and provided a muddy
cushion so tho players could fall hap
hazard or something like that.
Syracuse, as was tho casp last car. was
full of confidence. Coach Buck O'Neill, who
succeeded Bill Hollenback, when Large
William resigned at the urgent request of
tho powers that be, stated under pressure
that his team should win, because he had
eleven good plaverw
Ho limited the number to eleven, ns his
substitutes wero of the bush league variety.
If the regulars wero lucky and stuck
through the combat, ho said, thcro would be
nothing to It
Warner, on tho other hand, had little to
say His closo association with tho In
dians did not render him loquacious, nnd
ho merely said that he hoped his team
would win, and lot It go at that.
Tho vlctorv over Ilutgera last week
boosted the hopes of Syracuse In today's
game This fc.it nlono stamped tho New
Yorkers as worthy foes. The muddy field
also helped tho husky stalwarts of O'Neill's
cloven, whllo It was expected to blow up
tho attack of Pittsburgh,
