The evidence in support of the

continues to come in Another San
Francisco sporting writer comes for
ward with the startling statement
that just as the critical moment ar
rived in the eighth round. when Fitz-
sommons had his man going, he vol
unfairly lowered his guard and said:
Hit me now" Then he held up his
jaw, goes on the writer, and Jeffries
clouted him in the wind. Down went
Fitzsimmons and stayed until after 10
had been counted. Then he rose, and
in stentorian tones that could be
heard in all the crowd, said:
THE best man wins l have
fought my last fight"
This is the evidence that seems to
lend the most conviction to the accu-
sation that the fight was a prear-
ranged affair, in short a fake"

these ATTITUDES and he discusses these
subjects with an intelligence of one
many years his senior.
There is no intention in this sketch
to create the impression that Theodore
Roosevelt, Jr., is a weakling or a
mothers apron-string boy" On the
contrary, he is manly in the highest
degree, of a positive, but not combative
nature and lover of all that pertains
to out-of-door life, such as cunning,
fishing, riding, skating, boxing, wrest-
ling, and all kinds of field sports. 1t
must be remembered that being near
sighted from babyhood, he has been
somewhat handicapped by being oblig-
ed to Wear eye glasses. This has de-
prived him from taking a conspicuous
part in football games or striving for
place on the first team. In other
games and sports in. which his eye
glasses do not interfere, he has shown
himself true sportsman.
There is a well developed streak of
humanity in his nature, and it is said
of him that he never took advantage
of disabled opponent, or lame an
imal or bird, during his hunting ex-
petitions.
With his brothers and sisters he is
a great favorite, and, notwithstanding
his youth, they have already COM
menced to look upon him as their big
brother" to whom they can
appeal for consolation and adj
vice, when 'beset with child
ish trials and tribulations. The
President and Mrs. Roosevelt, while
showing no favoritism in their devotion
to their children, naturally take great
pride in the growth and development
of Theodore, Jr., hence their intense
anxiety about his present condition.
