Fitzsimmons, who is here to fill a j vaudeville engagement, was taken ill I on Wednesday, but went on with his I act Wednesday night. He was taken ! suddenly ill while punching the bag ! in the morning, and his wife, Mrs. j Tina Fitzsimmons. had him removed | to the hospital at once. Mrs. Fitzsimmons stated that "Bob" was very low and that his condition is critical. "He won't give up. though," slio said, "and told me that he was 'go ing to live another fifty years,' as lie 'would not give up this good old world just vet' and leave me all alone." Fitzsimmons' children, Robert, Jr., Martin and Rosalie, who are in Glen ellyn; N. J., have been notified to come to Chicago at once. Native of Knglnml Fitzsimmons was born at Helsten. Cornwall, England, June 4. 1862, but had to go to New Zealand to win recognition as a boxer, where he won the amateur championship of the country in 1880 at Jem Mace's tour nament by defeating four men. That made him famous among the Aus tralians and the next year he added to his fame by defeating five men in one night, including the great Maori, Herbert Slade. and three other fa mous New Zealand fighters. He vir tually cleaned up in New Zealand j that year and continued to reign > supreme until he was defeated by ! Jim Hall in four rounds during 1890. | The next year he invaded this coun try and knocked out Jack Dempsey, ' one of the greatest fighters who ever I stepped into the ring. This battle was fought at New Orleans in 1891. and lasted thirteen rounds. This started Fitzsimmons and he disposed of so many of his opponents in jig tiir that ring critics began to recog riize him as a dangerous coming l heavyweight. In 1892 his most important fight was with Peter Maher, who he knocked cold in twelve rounds at New Orleans and he also lulled Joe Godfrey to sleep with a punch in this city later in that year. The next yeai Fitz knocked out Jim Hall, Dan Cr >edon and Frank Keller, besides drawing with Joe Clioynski. Three Important Bouts He did little in 1895, but the next year his three important bouts were with Peter Maher and Tom Sharkey. He stopped Peter in one round in the famous Langtry, Texas, bout, where Maher claimed he was half blinded by dust and sand, and later boxed a three-round draw with Peter in New York. He lost on a foul to Tom Sharkey in eight rounds later, but redeemed himself to the whole world pugilisticry by knocking out Jim Corbett in the fourteenth round in the famous Carson City melee on March 17, 1897. This gave him the championship, but he did not retain it very long for Jim Jefferles put him away in eleven rounds at Coney Island, June 9. 1899. Fitz never regained the title after that, although he knocked out Ed Dunkhorst. Gus Ruhlin and Tom Sharkev the next year. He tried it again with Jefferies in 1902, but was put to sleep in eight rounds at San Francisco. July 25. After that Fitz was easv to beat, for Jack O'Brien, Jack Johnson and Bill Lang knocked him out. although he won a few minor' bouts between these defeats. His Largest Purse The largest purse Fltz ever fought for was when he defeated Jim Hall at New Orleans, March 8, 1893. The purse amounted to $40,000, but Bob only received a portion of it, the rest being split various ways among pro moters and other sure-thing men. Fitzsimmons was a great favorite with the masses for he always tried when in the ring, never had an ex cuse for a defeat and scorned some of the methods certain pugilists em ployed to keep in the limelight. With Ills angular build, small shaven head, befreekled body and face, he pre sented a queer appearance in the ring. But lie could punch. He pack ed a terrific blow In each hand and his famous right-hand hook which rarely traveled six inches in reach, lng its mark was famous during the heyday of his career. Fitzsimmons' greatest handicap was his light weight. Had he been as heavy as Jefferies he would have probably licked Jim ' during their first fight. But Fitz was many pounds lighter than Jefferies and sheer weight and strength beat him down in that fa mous battle. Against men of his own weight he knew no superior. REVOLVER EXPERT DEAD By Associated I'rcss Denver, Colo., Oct. 19.—Frank J. Drehr, who held many records as revolver marksman, died at his home here last night, aged 42.

Oct. 19.—The Carlisle Indian football squad put in a day in advance of football practice husk ing: corn at the upper Indian farm, under the direction of Head Farmer Harris, who put his gridiron charges through a full course of fundamen tals In food production. The supper table was not, however, a Hooverized institution yesterday. Wet grounds and a slippery ball gave ♦he Redskins a chance at playing Copyright. 1117. Th Trlbun# Association (Nrr 1 Tork Tribunal Lieutenant George Melville Taylor, of the Canadian overseas contingent, who is a nephew of President Ed Barrow of the International League, Is another who reports a big European advance in baseball. "The Canadians an,d Americans," he says, "are playing the game at every chance, and the crowds that watch these games are increasing each week. It is taken for granted that after this war is overr European sport lovers, especially among the English, will want a game with plenty of snap and dash, just what baseball offers. They didn't care much for the game at first, but they are beginning to pick up its finer points now, and the general attitude is shifting. Over there they believe that it is now only a matter of time after the war when we'll have a real world series between winning Amer ican and European teams." A THROWBACK TO MONDAY After the last world series game we were talking with Eddie Collins about that famous chase with Zim. "It's a funny thing," remarked Eddie, "but, as it happens, I played my first professional game with Heinie about ten years ago, in a little New York town. We were both just starting out about that time. I thought about this later, and whilo 1 was glad enough to win. I was sorry to isee that Fate made Heinie the goat of the series." "How did you feel," we asked Collins, "when you saw the way was open to the plate?" "I felt," he remarked, "that just about that moment I could beat a rifle ball the rest <tf the way. When you are running fifty feet for a championship and $30,000 the chances are you arc going to do all the running your legs will let you do. If I could have sprinted as fast as I felt like sprinting at that min.ute, I don't believe a greyhound could have caught me. I can say this for Zim, I never ran faster in my life before, I yet 1 don't think I gained an inch the entire route." )l K-ADAPTED ' Once upon a midnight dreary, As I pondered, lone and weary, In despond. As I sat there like a craven. Quoth the well-known, ancient raven, "Buy a bond." So I murmurred, far from runny, "Where can 1 dig up the money To respond?" "Go and borrow, eteal or beg It," Quoth the raven; "only peg it For ii bond." "Vou are mistaken," writes a morose bystander. "The Giants have ! won three world series since 1905. They won on.e from the Athletics and they won two for the Red Sox and the White Sox." "To help settle a dispute," writes a jovial Brooklyn rooter, "did the Giants make any better showing against the White Sox than the Dodgers last year against the Red Sox?" The Giants won two games while the Dodgers won only on. But we can say offhand, without exhuming any records that the Dodgers were never guilty of any such exhibition as the Giants offered twice in Chicago and on.ce in Kew York. Out of the six i games the Giants played three well. The other two were below the aver age of any world scries play, on New York's side, we have been since 1912. "Benny Leonard Arrested in Car," runs a headline, "for Falling to Blow | His Horn." This, among boxers, is undoubtedly another world's record. It I has never happened before, as far as we can recall the diaphonous statistics. ARE WE RIGHT?

Add leading goat-getters Any college or university that attempts to I claim a football championship this fall. No one likes to lose in any game. But there will frequently be more honor in losing this autumn than in. winning. The big score is the number of men sent by each 1916 eleven to the front.

WICKERSHAM ' RECORD BROKEN BY GUN STUDENTS Increased Attendance at At lantic City School This Season; Some Winners BY PETER P. CARNEY (Editor National Sports Syndicate) As the days go by, the Trapshoot lng School on the Million-Dollar Pier (Atlantic City) adds to its popu larity. During the six months that the school was open in 1916, 4,870 per sons tried their skill in firing at the Inanimate clays over the broad At lantic, and 236.475 targets wore thrown. These figures were sur passed in the five months the school has been open this season. In this period 5,315 persons have fired at 287,225 targets. These figures are another indica tion of the interest manifested in the sport and tho desire of nearly every one to learn to shoot. There were j so many beginners applying for ln | struction that It was necessary to ln | stall unother trap. On this trap all instruction is given. Those who are proficient In breaking the clays use the trap that has always been In use. Exhibition Shoots The Topperwlns gave exhibitions daily at the school for six weeks, and these exhibitions caused many per sons to become interested in the "sport alluring." Then, to add to the gaiety of the thing, Benjamin C. Kuser, a Trenton, N. J., sportsman, offered a cut glass cigar holder with silver cover to the shooter making the best score at 100 targets during the remainder of the season. W. N. Boylston, of Boston. Mass., twice broke 9 7 in 100, and is the leader for the trophy at this writing. The week ending September 8 was the greatest week in the two sea sons' history of the school. Three hundred persons shot over the traps at 16.525 targets. One hundred and eight of these shooters were on hand on Labor Day and fired at 5,200 tar gets. Winners of higli-score spoons for men during August and September were: B. C. Kuser, Trenton, N. J. (2): S. M. Goldsmith, Atlantic City, N. J.; Richard Elkins, Atlantic City. N.
