= CHICAGO, Oct 2S.-Jen Thorne, OF
England, was knocked out by Bob t1tz-
simmons in one minute of fighting, at
Tattersall'sa tonight. Thorne, who was
evidently very much afraid of Fftzslm-
mons, did not land a single blow, ana
only made one light attempt to lead with
his left, that blow falling short by sew
eral inches. The blow delivered by F1tz-
simmons was a short left jolt, which did
not pass through six inches Of space be-
fore landing on ThOrnes jaw. After
Thorne was counted out FitZsimmons
picked him up bodily and carried him to
his corner, placing him on a chair, which
Sam Fitzpatrick who had been confident
of Thornes victory, had placed hurriedly
on the platform.
Thorne, after being carried to his cor
ner, was surrounded by group of
him to- He was drenched repeatedly
with cold water. FttZsmmons in the
meantime stood by doing what he could
for the unconscious man. Thorne was
held in his chair by Fitzpatrick and Joe
Sullivan, and, although able to breathe
was as dead to the world as when he
was Knocked out. He was in his corner
twelve minutes, when he was carried to
his room by his seconds. unable to walk,
although he had regained some measure
of consciousness. While he was being
carried through the ropes he rolled his
Iead and said weakly to Sam Fitzpat-
rick:
1T was a chance blow"
His jaw was swollen and red.
Fitzsimmons fought with his old-time
activity and was as active and shifty as
ever. He appeared many pounds over
weight, but he was active on his feet
and with his hands. His movements were
extremely rapid and his blows came 80
fast that Thorne never had chance to
eyade more than one.
BEATEN BEFORE HE BEGAN.
Thorne was beaten at the start He
had no confidence when he put up his
simmons made him more apprehensive
than before. His face, as the men met
in the center of the ring, was white and
drawn, and at every feint by Fitzsim-
mons with either hand he would duck In
q scared way, as If the end had already
come. Once he ducked when Fitzstm-
mons got away from him with no inten-
ton of striking at him. He was utterly
outclassed in lighting ability, and his
own lack of confidence lost him every
chance he might have had of staying out
the limit.
The bout was to be for six rounds ard
1t was generally believed that Thorne
would, on account of his previous show
Ing against Craig and Mccormick, be able
to hold out for at least three rounds
Sam Fitzpatrick. his hacker. expressed
himself before the men entered the ring
as being confident that Thorne would win,
saying If he Gid not believe so he never
would have brought him to Chicago to
light fItzstmmGns. After the fight was
over he held TO the opinion that the blow
which knocked out his protege YVES q
piece Of luck On the part of FitZsimm5ns,
but those who have seen Fitzsimmons
fight before knew better. It was the
same lightning jab that won Fitzsimm0ns
the championship at Carson City, tna
same quick blow that laid Peter Maker
on his back in two minutes at Langtry,
Tex. It was the blow that Fjtzs;mmuus
has always used, ard generally with de-
cfsive effect when it reached the point
where it touched Thorne tonight.
