808 FITZSIMMONS DIES AFTER HARD FIGHT WITH DEATH-SCHOLASTIC GAMES-SPORTS
RECORD TOTAL
IN TECH VICTORY
Burv Altoona Early in Game;
Reserves Lose to Enhaut
High School
Breaking all previous scholastic
records, the Tech High School foot
ball aggregation snowed under the
Altoona High School eleven Saturday
afternoon on the Island, 117 to 0.
Tech scored 119 points In all Its
games last season. The Saturday
"track meet" netted within two of
as many.
Altoona had not played the grid-
Iron game for nine ye"hrs, and chances
are they will not want to play for
nine years more. At least not with
Tech. Possibly a world's record for
scoring came In the first quarter
when the Maroon ran up 52 points.
The first two quarters were of 15
minutes duration. The last two were
cut to eight minutes to shorten the
Slaughter. It was Altoona's fourth
game of the season. It had a previous
record of winning from Vount Union,
4 9 to 0. Tiod State College High,
0 to 0. Last Saturday they lost at
Clearfield, 21 to 0.
CJreon at Game
They were green at the game and
offered no resistance to the Maroon.
On one kick off one of the Altoona
players fumbled the ball and allowed
It to roll across the goal line. None
of his teammates offered to pick it up.
Bell came down the field and fell on
the pigskin for an easy touchdown.
Everybody took a hand In the scoring
and practically all the second team
players were given a chance. It was
the softest game ever played in this
city, and it will be some years before
another similar score is rolled up.
Quarterback Elder was in bad shape
as a result of making several hard
tackles. He was carried from the
field.
In the preliminary game the Tech
reserves lost out in the final quarter
to the Enhaut team. The two elevens
battled back and forth for three
quarters without a score. At the close
of the third quarter the bail was
nine and a half yards from the Tech
goal line. At the beglnnjng of the
tinal period, Miller, the visiting half
hack plunged through the Tech line
for the only score of the game. The

Football Morsels For
Gridiron Enthusiasts
"Eddie" Harris, captain of the
Tech team last fall, is holding down
an end position on the Lehigh fresh
man team.
The Ambulance team that played
in this <nty last Saturday was the
attraction at Norristown with the
Conshohocken eleven Saturday and
captured a 12-7 vlctoryf Beck and
Emanuel were both kept out of the
game, being primed for the two
games with the Marines led by "Ed
die" Mahan.
Houtz, Marcus, Rote and Phillips
are four local lads who are holding
down regular positions with the Get
tysburg eleven. They dropped a hard
fought 17-to-0 game at Swarthmore
Saturday.
"Peaches" Garman seems to have
landed a regular berth at State on
the freshman team. He Is working
at left guard.
Coach Leo Harris' Indians re
ceived a severe jolt at the hands of
the Navy, being trimmed 61 to 0.
Despite the fact that Altoona won
27 out of 29 basketball contests last
season, they seemed to lack in the
forward passing game. It was ex
pected that the Mountaineers would
try the aerial style of play.
"Bossy" Gougler is doing somrf
classv kicking for the Pitt team. The
former Central star is given credit
for playing on one of the best teams
in the country.
There is a difference between
"spirit" and rowdyism. While school
authorities da#ot approve of rowdy
tactics they should do all in their
power to keep the rowdy from the
game. Irresponsible spectators
caused trouble at the Steelton-Cen
tral contest Saturday.
"Hobey" Light, who made prac
tically every tackle for the Lebanon
team against Tech three years ago,
is continuing his good defensive
work as a halfback for the Univer
sity of Pennsylvania.
More exciting games are In store
for locals this week. Chief among
the games will be Steelton versus
Tech on the Island. Central will
journey to Baltimore to meet Balti
more City College. The Academy
teim will entertain Mlllersburg High
school. This will be a new team
on the Academy schedule. Central
played a 0-0 game .with Baltimore
on the island, while Tech won at
Steelton and tied on the Island.
During Dr. Eilen
berger's absence Dr.
Phillips will occupy his
offices from 6.30 to 8.30
p. m. Other hours in
cluding Sunday by ap
pointment.
' MONDAY EVENING,
DEATH CLAIMS
FIGHTING BOB;
ILL FIVE DAYS
Chicago, Oct. 22.—Robert Fitzsim
mons, former champion heavyweight
pugilist of the world, died at a hos
pital here early to-day after an Ill
ness of five days of pneumonia.
The former champion was taken
sick last Tuesday while appearing in
a vaudeville theater and his ailment
was diagnosed as ptomaine poisoning.
Later it was discovered Uiat he was
suffering from double pmnimonla and
physicians declared that he could not
live. His remarkable vitality sus
tained him until Saturday, when he
lapsed into unconsciousness, from
which he did not rally except at rare
intervals.
During the five days of his illness.
Fitzslmmona was the recipient of
many messages from men whom he
bad formerly met In the ring, includ
inb James J. Corbett, from whom he
won the championship, and James J.
Jeffries, who took the title from him.
Other pugilists and followers of the
sport sent telegrams to the fighter
and his wife, expressing hope of a
speedy recovery.
Fought I'qtll Finish
Fitzsimmons, until he sank into his
final stupor, fought for his life as
he had fought for victory in the ring.
Physicians declared life was pro
longed several days by the grim de
termination of the man.
Mrs. Fitzsimmons, who was with
her husband during his illness, suf
fered a nervous breakdown last
Thursday and for a time it was be
lieved her condition was dangerous,
tut she soon recovered and resumed
her vigil at his bedside.
"Bob was a great fighter and a
god husband," said Mrs. Fitzsimmons.
"He worked hard on the theatrical
circuit and I believe the exposure
between the acts and the drafts which
blew through the wings caused his
illness."
Starts In Auatrnltn
Fitzsimmons was always referred
to as an Australian because it was
there that he started his ring career,
but he was born in Helsten. Corn
wall, England, June 4, 1562. His
parents, however, soon moved back
to New Zealand. Fitzsimmons started
work in his father's blacksmith shop
and at eighteen gained fame for his
dexterity in swinging a heavy ham
mer and fashioning of horse shoes. It
was said he could shape two while
others- made one.
Before taking up boxing. Fitzsim
mons was a hammer thrower and
long distance runner. His speed and
endurance were so marvelous that he
was given to hunting kangaroos
afoot. The former champion's ring
career began as the winner of a
lightweight competition promoted by
Jem Mace, at Timaru, New Zealand,
in 1880. He defeated four men. knock
ing out three of them, and thus be
came the amateur champion of the'
country. The next year he defended
his honors, defeating five opponents
in one night.
Always Ready to Fight
Fitzsimmons continued at the forge
for the next six or seven years, but
was always ready to fight. After
lighting three battles with Jim Hall,
then regarded as the middleweight
champion of Australia, Fitssimmons
came to America in 1890. He was
one of the lightest men to win the
heavyweight championship. He rarely
weighed more than 165 pounds when
in condition and gave away as much
as fifty pounds to some opponents.
Fitzsimmons won the world's
heavyweight title on March 1". 1897,
when he defeated James J. Corbett in
the fourteenth round of their memo
rable battle at Carson City. Nev. Ho
stopped Corbett with his famous
nportlight

doesn't go through.
Here's an example: Red Fnber stole third with Buck Weaver en

into a hero by winning three games. The Great Zim attempted to out
sprint Collins, and became a goat because his fsiux pas carne at a vital mo
ment and because his batting average was .120.
THE SHIFTING TIDES
According to A 1 Munro Elias, the Demon and Spectacular Statistician.
59 ball players in the American League hit better through 1917 than a
year before, while no less than. 80 slumped away from their 1916 mark.
In the National League there were 63 who improved and 61 who fell
away.
The most interesting detail involves the two 1916 leaders. Speaker, in
the A. L.. after leading Cobb in 1916, lost 33 points. Speaker dropped from
.386 to .353.
Hal Chase took an even deeper tumble. Hal fell from .8 39 to .279, a
net loss of 60 points. Fortunately, Hal had his stock well margined, and
so can carry it over another year.
If any one believes that Chase is falling off in his play he can obtain
the truth by asking Matty. Matty doesn't think that Hal looks much bet
ter than a million dollars.

T. J. K.—The pitcher who lost more games than any other last season
in either major league was Eppa J. Rijfey. of the Phillies. Mr. Rixey was
supresscd no less than 22 times. His only close rival was Barnes, of the
Braves, with 21 defeats.
OVERHEARD ON THE FIRST TEE
"Well, I'll give you three strokes for a ball a hole."
"Three strokes? Nothing doing."
"Why not?"
"It's too even."
This looks to be Army year—not only in national life but in football.
OUphant alone could go through a schedule this season with the ranks of
so many rivals depleted by the war call.
THE PREMIER SLUGGER
Who Is the hardest hitter in baseball?"
This query was put to Clarence Rowland and other members of the
White Sox array at a recent date.
One or two said Bob Veach. One or two said Joe Jackson. One man
said Pipp. Another voted for Zach Wheat.
"How about Babe Ruth?"
SOME ONE REMARKED
This query broke up the session. For it was voted with unanimous con
sent that Ruth could outhit the ontiro flock when it came to long-distance
crashing.
Ruth is Sam Crawford's successor. Tho big pitcher can hit a ball
harder than any entry now recorded In either league. The Babe also man
aged to bat .328 in 51 games. And most of his hits were for extra bases.

played In every department of the
game and meeting a team which un
covered just the type of football
their own predecessors at Carlisle
used to serve to opponents in the
days of Qlenn Warner, the Indians on
Saturday were defeated by the Mid
shipmen. The final score was 61 to 0
i in favor of the Middie.
While the Indians were utterly
helpless and at no time dangerous.
1 the sailors revealed every variety of
football with the exception of field
goal kicking. They would undoubt
edly have been able to deliver this
kind of tally had It been necessary.
' In the game it would be hard to
pick any stars, as Doble seems to
have built a fairly well balanced
team. The Indians had literally noth
ing in the way of modern football,
and In the realm of individual play
showed only one star, this was Lassa,
who played an exceptional defensive
game at left tackle.

STEELTON HIGH
WINS FIRST GAME
Take Central Into Camp;
Rowdyism on Part of Spec
tators Mars Game
Steelton High School took the lead
in the local triangular football cham
pionship light by winning from Cen
tral High, 21 to 13, on Cottage Hill
field Saturday afternoon.
The game was one of the best ex
hibitons of clean sport that has been
witnessed in years. When these
teams meet usually there is a stiff
fight for honors. While the fighting
spirit was there on Saturday, it was
a tportsmailike scrap, both teams
playing clean football.
Steelton was penalized several
times for off-sido play, but never at
a time when the penalty resulted in
a serious loss for them. Overconfl
oence was still in evidence and gave
Central chances for scoring.
Spectutors Start Trouble
Two of the Central players who
cheered their teammates after good
plays were taken into custody but
later released. Local enthusiasts who
attended the game severely criticized
the actions of the Steelton police. The
trouble. It is said, was started by
Steelton spectators. It was said
that two of the principal Steelton
troublemakers were under the influ
ence of liquor. It was said that very
little effort was made on the part ot
those opposed to rowdyism to pre
\ent trouble.
Steelton Scores
Steelton scored a touchdown and
goal in the first quarter. Dayhoff
took the ball on the 30-yard line
after these gains and worked his way
through the Central team for a
touchdown. One of the players was
offsiue and it was not allowed, Steel
ton getting a five-yard penalty. Day
hoff went around end for seven yards.
A forward pass. Coleman to Herman,
netted fifteen more; P. Weuschinski
1 attered 'his way through for five
more, and then DayhofT took the ball
over for the first touchdown. He
kicked the goal. The crowds gave
him a big cheer as he came back to
line up for the kickoit.
In the second quarter another tally
was made by Steelton High. On the
fourth down Behman caught a for
ward pass from Coleman and gained
twenty-two yards. Krout, Dayhoff
and Behman made first down and
took the ball to Central's 3-yard line.
P. Weuschinski shot through a hole
for the touchdown and Dayhoft
kicked the goal. Until the finish of
the first half Central made a good
showing and played wonderful ball.
Another Touchdown
Steelton's last score was made in
the third quarter, after Fifelds had
punted. P. "Weuschinski fell on the
ball as it rolled outside the lines at
Steelton's 25-y>d line. P. Weuschin
ski made three yards; Dayhoff was
held and Coleman took the oval
around end for six more. Everyone
expected Dayhoff to call for a kick
formation and punt as the ball was
cn Steelton's 33-yard line. Instead,
the team lined up for a line play.
Dayhoft received the ball, found his
hole, smashed past the secondary de
fense of the Blue and Gray and out
ran the entire Central eleven, going
sixty yards for a touchdown.
Central Get* Butty
At this point Central's star hit Into
the game and showed come-back
form. Fields was a big star. Fields
went through center for three yards.
Wolfe found a big hole and reeled
off eighteen before he was stopped by
three Steelton men pulling on him.
Fields on three successive plays off
tackle and around end advanced the
ball fourteen yards. A cross play
resulted In a small loss. On the next
play Wolfe, who had found a weak
spot in the Blue and White line, shot
a smashing drive at the place. His
interference found the hole, took out
the opposing men and gave him al
most a clear field for a 36-yard run
to the goal line for a touchdown.
A minute later he kicked a pretty
goal.
More fiood Work
Early in the fourth quarter Cen
tral's good work brought another
score. On a forward pass play Page
leaped forward and caught the ball.
No one was near him to make the
tackle and he got a fast start on his
40-yard line. With the whole Steel
ton team chasing him. Page raced
down the field for a touchdown.
Wolfe missed the goal. The lineup
