Although the fight between JeTrfes
and Fitzsimmons for the championship
has been called a fake. the battle win
go down in ring history as one of the
hardest ever fought. says the PhiIa-
delphia North American. The tall
about fake has now played out. the
merits of the battle itself having been
strong enough to satisfy the public
After all, it is the patrons of the game
who are to judge as to the sincerity
OF contest, and apparently they were
satisfied.
The one thing which the fight brought
out more clearly than anything else is
that Jeffries is not hard to hit. Cor
bett, Rubin and Fitzsimmons were All
clever enough to reach the Champion
with comparative ease. All of them
however, fell before the sledge hammer

Lawson that he has at last received
his medal from Australia, emblematic
of the one mile champion of that far

Australia the winter before last, and
while away succeeded in showing the
