Fttz discovered that he was, as Mr.
Borglum remarks, built for battle. "
1t was but natural, then. that he de
vote his life to battle so long as his
battling powers endured. and that q
exactly what this man did.
Like General Grant, however, Fitz
did not know he was a great fighter al

THE fact that Fitz is sitting-Or

gin marble should not make
Michael Angelo turn over In his
tomb and throw fits. According to
Sculptor Gutzon Borglum. Fitz is a fit
subject for the sculptor's supremest
art. Mr.. Borglum proposes forthwith
to perpetuate Fitz as a type Of the On

that when this country shall have been
relegated to the mustiness Of ancient
days our successors Of the fiftieth cen

ties In which the Borglum marble shall
repose. to gaze In awe upon the ''clas-
sic" features and form Of Robert
Fitzsimmons, Pugilist, Late Nineteenth
and Early Twentieth Century"
Well, why not?
Phidias carved some figures not half
so pretty as Fitz. Michael Angeles

glum, 1t win be remembered, created
some angels for the Church of st. John
the Divine, but destroyed them with
his hammer when some of the church
people denied that female angels exist.

Another thing. Fitz always fought

thing that prize lighting was knocked

managers were crooked and fighters
put up fake exhibitions. When FitZ
