Fitzsimmons to Stay with the Middieweights
In q speech last night in New Orleans Bob
Fitzsimmons made the following remarks: II
suppose you all know by this time that have
wen the fight of my life. can honestly say
that it the one ambition OF my life to de-
feat James Hall; and why? Simply because 1
could have the chance to show the American
public that l told the truth when / told them
that laid down to Hall in Australia. 1t was
a very bad mistake. I'll admit, but when you
take into consideration that l was only an
amateur and knew nothing of reputation or its
meaning L think YOU will forgive me.
II assure you that have wiped out the stain
on my reputation tonight and went out of my
class simply to show the American public that
told The truth. Now. suppose you will be-
heve me. Tonight is the last time nlv friends
fighting out of my class. for / positively made
up my mind that / should never fight again
unless 1t was at the middleweight limit"
To-day, IS you all know, am an American
citizen, and as such shall ever be ready to de-
fend America against the world at the middle
weight limit
