the Fifth Round and Prevented IA Vic
tory.
Boston, Mass, June 1s.-Police in
reference prevented Bob Fitzsimmons
adding another to his list of victories
tonight and saved Joe Ghoynski from
being chrouicled as loser. The men
met IN the Boston Theatre. Fiye.ounce
gloves were Used, and had not the police
inteffered in the fifth round Choynski
would have been put TO sleep. AS IT
was, he was most numerically ham
mered and his face about the mouth and
nose badly cut up.
| Two minutes OF the first round were
wasted i'll sparring. Fltzsimmons finally
tried for the Wind, and received a
straight left iab in the face. He came
again, and was caught over the left eye
so hard that his head flew back. Keep
| ing after Choynskl, who fought on the
| defensive, he let 20 his right, sort OF
round arm chopping blow. IL caught
| Choynskl on the shoulder, doing no
damage.
In the second round, Fitzsimmons
went at his opponent with left leads for
the wind, snd that lUng-reaching round
arm swing for which he is famous.
Choynski, who appeared small beside the
Australian, did some very clever duck
ing, and every now and then sent in a
lett ja0 with telling effect; Chey had no
pcrceptible effect in stopping kitzsim-
mons. Before the second round was
finished FltZsimmcns had missed seven
right-handcd swings, and WAS jaboed in
the face as many times when lie went to
lead.
Directly time was called for the third
round Fitz went at his man. He missed
vicious right, aid then tried his left

ever, get his right in for the Knockout
