FRIDAY EVENING,
FITZSIMMONS IS I
CRITICALLY ILL
In Dying Condition; Former
Heavyweight Champion
Has •Pneumonia
"BOB" FITZSIMMONS
Chicago, Oct. 19.—Robert Fltz- j
slmmons, former world's champion j
heavyweight boxer and regarded as j
one of the greatest fighters who ever j
lived, was reported to be dying In j
Michael Reese Hospital of pneu- j
monia yesterday.
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.
Drehr at one time was amateur

ball eleven took the boys from the
Woodward school into camp last eve
ning at Fifteenth and Herr streets,

6 score. This Is Forney's second win,
they having defeated Lincoln last
week, 18-0.
HUSKING CORN
NEW FEATURE AT
INDIAN SCHOOL
Carlisle, Pa.. 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.

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.
