Robert F1tzsimnons, the Grand Old
Man. Who Will Make One
More Fight

The strangely, assorted pair are due
to fight tonight here, and one of the
biggest CROWDS that has attended a
night in this city in years is promised
by the advance ssale of seats for the s
round bout SIS IA
Knowing that Fitzsimmons has
been unable to show any form for
three years, most followers of the ring
believe they are merely paying a com
pliment to the one time great fighter
when they unbelt and pay a big price
Tor the show. 1t is a foregone con-
cluSonS, say those who know F'itz we'll,
that he can not get back into fighting
condition and any showing that he
makes tonight is expected to be more
or less of a gratuitous nature on the
part Of johnson.
The big negro is as strong and
healthy as ever. At best he is a for
midabls fighting machine and but for
a white mans" verdict he would
have earned a decision over Marvin
Hart, who was then champion of the
world, when they met at Frisco All
stories of that contest agree that the
colored scrapper chewed up his white
opponent and that the verdict was a
gift of the referee. Had johnson
been awarded the title it would have
forced Burns and all the others of his
nk-Schreck and that sort-to come
to johnson for chance at the title.
Johnson, IL he puts Fitz away, is
supposed to be offered q chance at the
champion, Burns. Whether he will
get it or not depends entirely on how
badly Burns in need Of either a
winners or losers end of big purse.

than Oklahoma City has on second

it would be the easiest thing in the

Here is what Jack Holland, the
manager of the wichita team which
was defeated four straight games by
the champions, has to say of the
series: at have no excuse to offer sx-
cept that we were outplayed. Topeka
always could play ball against us and
they certainly did it this series. We
never had a chance at any game ex-
cept the first one which we would
have won had not Speer been so wild
at critical times. We were fairly and
sQuarely defeated and that is all that
I have to say. We have had a slump
end it has been the worst one of the
season. We have slumped particu-
larly in our batting. Milan, Becker,
Bayless, Hetling and myself have been
hitting good all season until we struck
Topeka. We haven't hit a lick here.

Whether he was wrong or right in his
