opportunities, and probably has made
the most of them.
All Titles Gone.
Bob has said that he will never enter
a ring again, but the statement is super
fuous. Every shred Of his claim to any
kind Of title is gone. But when it is
recalled that he has been before the pub
lie as prominent boxer for twenty-five
years, it seems that the time has GER
tainly come for him to 60, and it is a
question if he did not fight one battle
too many. Whether Fitz knew when he
started training for this battle that he
could not get in condition is q ques-
tion, and many will resent any imputa-
tion that he willfully deceived the pub
lie.
He must have known that he was
going back, and the first few days of
roadwork surely told him that he was
not the man he once was. The chances
are, however, that he thought his re-
naming strength would carry him thru
this contest with an opponent whom he
possibly underestimate.
The date Of Fitz' birth is generally
given as June 4, 1862, and the place,
Helston, Cornwall, England. He made
his first appearance in 1880 at Tmura,
New Zealand, at Jem Mace's tourna-
ment. There he defeated four men, win
ming the amateur championship Of New
Zealand. The next year he entered a
tournament at the same place, and beat
five men in one night. He fought lot
more contests in Australia, winning all
of them in less than ten rounds. In
1890 he appeared in San Francisco and
defeated Billy Mccarthy in nine rounds.
The next year he knocked Jack Dempsey
out at New Orleans in thirteen rounds,
and the year following this won from
rounds. .
A Knockout Artist.
His bouts from that time on were a
succession Of knockouts, all recorded to
his credit until 1894, until he battled to
a draw with Joe Choynski at Boston in
five rounds. He became world g cham
pion on March II, 1897, by knocking out
James j. Corbett at Carson City in four
teen rounds. Jeffries gave him his first
defeat at Coney Island in 1899 and
duplicated the trick at San Francisco in
1892. The largest purse for which he
ever fought was $4,000, hung up for
the Hall battle in New Orleans.
O'Brien and Fitz boxed six rounds
at Philadelphia year and a half ago,
and it was claimed by many who saw
the bout that Robert had big shade
There were only six rounds and no de.
cision was given. It was probably this
bout that led so many to pick Fitz as
the winner of last week Is affair. This
only serves to illustrate o O'Brien s trick
of toying with an opponent the first
time he meets him, probably in order to
get some more matches, for Jack is
nothing if not thrifty. He has done this
with any number of boxers, and if the
plan was not made deliberately, it at
least looks that way. He must be ac
counted great boxer, and has right
| to dictate terms to almost anybody ex
cept Jeffries at the present time.

 Dear Sir: If prompt and determined work is done the two candidates for United States senator, MT. Bulkeley and MT. Fessenden, may even noY be defeated and a great moral victory won. But in order to accomplish this all pos sible influence should at once be brought to bear upon members of the legislature.
