series OF let's, put bis right On the
body and avoided any serious pun
ishment. Fitzsimmons kept pressing
forward all the time, however, but
was unable to find his opponent.
The tenth was in reality where
the fight ended. Jeffries rushed his
opponent and downed him with a
left swing. Fitzsimmons seemed
out and there was the widest ex-
element. Julian ran along the side
of the ring and sprinkled water on
his fallen idol At the end of seven
seconds Fitzsimmons staggered to
his feet only to 60 down again. He
was up again and Jetfries poised
himself for the finish. He shot his
left to the body ard tried for the
head with his right. He was calm
and collected but the time was too
short Again did the gong come to
the aid of the man who was then
going, staggering and dazed, to GER
tain defeat. There was a frantic
effort to revive the champion of the
champions, but he was clearly gone,
and his seconds could not restore
him.
The fate like gong changed again
ard the old fighter wabbled out to
meet the sturdy young Hercules who
awaited him. 1t was as courageous
and gritty as dash up to the firing
line in battle, but il was hopeless.
They were together. It was a
splendid moment and full Of all dra-
matte intensity that characterizes a
tragedy. Jsffries was as fresh as at
the start. There was a moment of
sparring and the giant arms of the
Californian shot through the air 1t
was left and right over. Fitzsim
mons, limp and unconscious, drop
ped to the floor. Jeffries stepped
back, for he knew the force he had
put behind his terrible blows. The
timers called off the seconds that
counted out an old ring here and
heraldsd another, but nobody heard
them. Tbs crowd was on its feet
bowling. There was a rush for the
ring, but scores of blue csats bar
red the way. Ten seconds are short
and when the tenth had GENE there
was new roar of excitement to
welcome the victor. Julian, Hickey,
Kennedy and Everhardt gathered
up the PROSTATE man. He was still
in trance. They carried him to
his corner and a little blood oozed
from his mouth as his head fell for
ward on his chest. The new hero
crossed the ring and shook hands
with his rival after which he was
surrounded by his friends who hus-
tied him from the ring and into q
dressing room.

JEFFRIES is THE CHAMPION.
Fitzsimmons Loses the Great
Fight at New York.
CALIFORNIAN ENDS THE CONTEST IN
THE ELEVENTH ROUND.


New York, June 9.-James j. JEFF
fries, another sturdy young giant,
has come out of the west to whip
champion pugilists. At the arena
of the Coney Island Athletic club
tonight he detected Robert Fitz'
simmons, worlds champion in two
classes-middleweight and heavy
weight-in eleven rounds of whirl'
wind fighting.
He came to the ring a rank out
slider, and left it the Acknowledged
master Of the man he defeated.
There was no trying delay in the
ring and the big gong sounded out
just as soon as the men had been
presented and gloved. When they
squared off Jeffries looked fifty
pounds to the good. The opening
round was tryout pure and simple,
and not single blow of an effective
nature WAS landed. First one wac
the pacemaksr and then the other
essayed the pressing. They were
almost equally active and the clever
work recompensed the crowd for
the lack of excitement. The second
round began in businesslike maR.
ner, with Jsffries trying his lefG.
Fitzsimmens then took a turn, but
was short. Just as the round closed
Jeffries downed Fitzsimmons With q
hard straight left on the jaw. The
champion came up slowly in a dazsd
sort of way and resled toward his
man. The crowd cheered Jeffries,
but the gong ended the round.
Fitzsimmons rallied in the rest
and was aggressive in the third.
Fltzsimmons was bleeding, but
fighting viciously. He made the
pace, but it was the Californian's
round. The fourth was fast, but
not decisive.
Fitzsimmens made his best show.
ing during the fourth. He began
with a punch that opened Jefries'
left eye and sent little torrent of
blood coursing down his cheek. He
forced Jeffries against the ropes, but
the Californian slipped away from
him.
He made Jeffries hug again, but
then the round ended and Jsffries
was back and fighting. Fitzsim-
mons was the aggressor in the sixth
and that, too, was his round. He
tried all of his tricks with left and
right, but was unable to place them.
he closed with strong uppercut,
but that, too, was blocked. The
seventh might be said to have been
Fitzsimmons' round, but he did no
particular damage with his punches.
The eighth saw the beginning of the
end, for Fitzsimmons never regained
his balance after that round. JEFF.
fries began the round with a
straight left On the face that again
brought the blood out Of his eppo
nent's mouth. The Cornishman
staggered against the ropes, but
came back for another faeer. There
was fear in Fitzsimmons' corner and
Julian yelled to Fitzsimmons to be
careful. Fitzsimmons planted one
of his lefts on Jefriss' jaw and stag
gered him against the ropes. Fitz
simmons looked like q beaten man.
The ninth was all Jeffries'. He
sent the Australians head back with

Frick Has Retired.

The startling information has been
given out at the offices Of the Carnegie
Steel company in Pittsburg that Henry
Clay Frick, prominent for a quarter Of
a century as coke and steel baron,
mas retired from the chairmanship Of
the board of managers and would here
after remain merely as an advisory
partner in the concern, occupying a
position similar to Mr.. Carnegie. At
the same time Henry NJ. Curry, for
years a director in the company, pre-
sented his resignation.
The development occurred at a meet
ing of the company's board of directors
held Monday.
George Lauder and A. NJ. Moreland
partners in the concern, were elected
to take the places made vacant by the
retirement of Messrs. Frick and Curry
Following is the statement given out
for publication by the company:
AT meeting of the Carnegie Steel
company. limited, Mr.. Frick informed
his partners of his desire to give up the
duties of chairman of the board of
managers, and asked to be relieved in
order to join Mr.. Carnegie, Mr.. Phipps
and Mr.. Singer as consulting partners
VI llS IOIlDdIy. MT. fTlCh s partners
assented to his request. A successor to
Mr.. Frick was not chosen, as it is in
tended to abolish the office of chair
man since Mr.. Frick leaves it.
Mr. Curry, who has been long con-
fined by Illness, sent his resignation as
member Of the board, which his part
ners were forced to accept, with great
reluctance.
Mr.. George Lauder and Mr.. A. NJ
Moreland were unanimously elected to
fill the vacancies"
Reading between the lines this sta .e-
ment is generally accepted to mean
that since Mr.. Carnegie has refused to
retire in order to permit Mr.. Frick'S
reorganization plan to go through, the
latter gentleman has decided to quit
the company management as hitherto
directed by himself in the capacity of
chairman of the board of directors.
The abolition of that position with
Mr.. Frick's official retirement, leaves
Charles NJ. Schwab, president of the
company. as chief executive head of
the concern.
