erably refreshed and looked determined:
Jeffries was aggressive, and. leading on
with the left scored smarty on the
nose, drawing blood. He landed again
on the champions mouth and received
a stiff counter over the heart in return
They exchanged hard lefts on the jaw
Fitz kept backing his man toward the
ropes and twice scored with the lett
and right on the jaw. Fftz again FOL
lowed his man, when Jeffries suddenly
stepped in and smashed Fitz hard on
the ear. and with the left and rlght on
the body The men were now hghtlng
very fast and both scoring effectively
Ar the close of the round both landed
good and hard. Jeffries was smiling
when he went to his corner. Fitz looked
a trif1e worried. His nose was bleeding.
There was not a mark on the Calltor-
nian.
AS soon as the men struck fighting at
titudes FitZ sent a right swing to the
law. Jeffries stepped back and the
blow went wild in the air. Fitz rushed
the Californian to his corner and scored
on Jims body. Jeffries then took the
aggressive and scored hard with the
left on the jaw, making the champion S
head rock Sharp infighting followed,
during which Fitz tried to send right
on the jaw, but missed, and Jeffries put
his right hard over the heart. Jeffries
sent his right across to the jaw, but
the blow went wide of the mark. The
fighting during this round was very
spirited. and frequently the enthusiasm
of the spectators went to a high pitch.
AS the gong sounded Jeffries was rush
ing F'itZ around the ring trying to score
with the right and left on the body,
but Fits sidestepping was too clever
and the Californian failed to score.
Fitz came out of his corner on run
and sent his right hard to the eye,
making a deep cash from which blood
flowed. He followed this with a left
on the jaw and clinched. Fitz was now
the aggressor and rushed Jeffries to the
ropes twice, scoring hard with the left
on the jaw on each occasion.
Fitz again rushed and swung his left
hard for the jaw. Jeffries cleverly
lodged this blow, countering hard
twice on the jaw with the left. Once
Jeffries. in lodging a right swing, left
a bad opening and his admirers
groaned Fitz tried to take advantage
of the Californian's position for the
moment, but Jeffries just managed to
steady himself in time to avoid
vicious right swing. When they
Strengthened up again Fitz again
rushed his man, swinging both hands
hard for the jaw, and in his anxiety to
score tripped and fell. AS he was fall
ing Jeffries hit him hard smash with

corner in the northwest side Of the
ring and back, standing heavily on the
boards and testing their firmness.
Walking back to his corner he stood
up and eyed Fitz critically for a few
moments, then sat down and gargled
his throat with a cooling liquid.
Siler, the referee, who quickly fol-
lowed the principals, was also cheered.
Fitzsimmons' seconds were Martin

tendants were BILLY" Delaney, Tom

Fitzsimmons, while 'Al'' Smith offici-

was the clubs timekeeper. Rem"
Mulford of Cincinnati had been Sc
lected as the clubs timing representa-
tive but he declined to serve at the
last moment.
After Fred" Burns, the announcer,
had introduced the men, they peeled off
all unnecessary clothes. Jeffries wore
a breechclout, held in position with a
cord. "F'itz's" wearing apparel con-
sisted of white trunks, held in place by
belt made of small American flags.
On the left side Of the belt was a ro-
settle made of similar material by Mrs.
Fitzsimmons.
Fitzsimmons looked at the rosette ad-
miringly as he took off his bath robe,
waiting for the signal &c begin hostili-
ties.
Jeffries again tested the floor of the
ring after having his gloves fixed, took
another cooling gargle and stood wait
ing. He looked perfectly fit, his muscles
standing out prominently all over his
bc-dY EitZ also looked fit and lunches
of muscles were rolling all over him.
The men shook hands. the bell sounded
and the battle for the heavy weight
championship was on.

EIGHTH Round.

Jefries was tardy in coming up and the
referee had to wave his hand to him to
come to the center. Both men rushed mat
tiers without doing damage Other than
clinching until FitZsimmons senc his left
to the ribs and Jeffries hooked two lefts
but was caught, Fitzsimmons countering
lightly on the chest. FftZsimmons put a
straight left on Jeffries' eye, Jeff came

staggering the champion to the ropes.
Nothing of any moment occurred during
the remainder Of the round, and as Fttz-
simmons walked to his corner he smiled
at his seconds. This was Jeffries' round.
The San Francisco call., 1899-06-10

Jeffries reminded one of McCoy's
style of fighting, crouching and keep
ing himself well together, but some of
his swings were very awkward. AL
though FitZsimmonS was bleeding from
the nose in the third round, he stood
we'll up to his man. When F'itz did
land it was always we'll within his dis
tance and one could see that those blows
all told. Never before had F'itz fought
with forty pounds against him, but he
did not seem TO realize that he was
fighting a giant. Jeffries was doing his
best work with his left but Fitz was a
real two-handed fighter
In the fifth round Fitz. little too
hasty, rushed in and slipped and was
fought to one knee, but was UP like a
dash and worked with both hands. In
Fftz' broad square shoulders was tre-
mendous hitting powers. Jeffries had
bad cut on the left eye, but when he
came up for the sixth round ii did not
seem to bother him. His towering
form assumed a panther-like crouch,
but FitZ stood up to him so well that
he appeared to get tired and then
adopted the old ring tactics of the
heavier man by trying to hang on to
his lighter opponent. But the rules
under which they fought minimized
this advantage, which under old time
ring rules would have been allowed.
At the close of the sixth round if
looked as if F'itz had merely to wait his
chance to land a knockout blow. Fitz'
pose was that of a true fighter and ath-
lete, head well back, shoulders straight
and both arms we'll guarding the face
and body
The men were in striking contrast TO
each other. Up to this time the lights
were badly managed, now one and now
the other being at a disadvantage
Fitz was up for the eighth round and
was first to lead. He landed a left and
right. The deep-chested old fighter
looked as hard as nails. When he got

Fitzsimmons looked very determined
when he came up for this round, with
twice without doing damage. Fftzsim-

Jeffries' face and repeated it three times.
Coming to the center of the ring, Fitz-
