Fitzsin1mOns Is Pnnched
 And /et17ies Criticised
By JEFF THOMPSON.

New York. July 2s.-Poor old Bob Fitz- simmons Does he really think that he can ever do any more damage with his fists. For some days stories have been en.anating from the west, where Fitz has been spending his time lately, relative to his form and his desire to get back into the scIapping game. It has begun to look as though Fitz annexed a live wire Pa cific coast press agent, and the gentle mans typewriter Is doing overtime. The best of it Is that many of the eastern sporting writers are falling for the stuff ard some of them have got out their ancient time-worn charts and are look ing ur Bob's steam on the last time out
 Bob has been doing the two-a day stunt for several years now, and theatrical work is not conducive to good wind and hard muscles. I saw Bob punch the bag not long ago in his vaudeville act, and when he got through his chest was heav- ing like a sick pup with the mango. It took all his wind to slip the cord and send the sphere into the gallery.
 Eight years ago, when he was in fight ing trim, I saw him punch the bag on an exhibition trip, and the difference of con- dition was very noticeable. With ter rife left hand, straight-away punch he snapped the cord and sent the bag sailing into the third gallery. where the gods sat dumfounded at such a demonstration of brawn.
 Jeff has had the temerity to challenge
 oO <l<~k.A the winner to take all the receipts. Fitz made this part of the gag look like busi- ness. Fitz also handed out a typewriter sheet the other day. which, when inter- preted extended the information that he
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-07-27

was the real and only sure-enough mid- dleweight pugilist on this grand old foot stool. Just how much Fitz meant of that challenge last week is not yet figured out.
 Labor Day is going to see some grand old sport in the boxing game, especially in the west. Tex Rickard Is doing all In his power to make the day success, pu- gilistically speaking. He has worked hard to make the Gans-Nelson fight a go in Ely, New.
 It was too bad that Abe Attell had to throw such a scare into Jeems Coffroth about that Kid Scaler fight for the west ern lightweight championship. When At tell and Owen Moran signed up for a scrap on July B, neither one of them was to fight in the meantime, but to spend the interim in preparation for the big show. The first thing Jeems knew Abe was ready to meet Kid Scaler for the lightweight championship. Coffroth acted at once and sent word to Attell that if he fought he could not meet Moran.
 The sports are now looking forward to the middle of August, when Phil Brock, of Cleveland, Ohio, will meet Packy Me- Farland for a 20-round go. Last week Brock put it all over Frank Carsey of Chicago, at Los Angeles and he showed up so strong that his friends began to save money right away in anticipation of the Mcfarland fight. Brock is a fast fighter and a game one, and if he holds on he will be heard from. The fight Hill be held before the JeffrieS club.
 Boston and Baltimore will clash when Harry Seroggs of Baltimore, will meet Billy Glover, the Boston terror They will fight next Friday night, and game battle is expected The fight will only go six rounds.

SMITH,

Is 1t any wonder that the sporting world of the United States is aggrievedf Is 1t any wonder that they feel angry at England and the British Olympic coni- mittee for rules so palpably unjustP However, despite all the setbacks the Americans and their friends were phllo- sophical They knew that in their own country they would be looked upon in the proper light and their physical proWess would be recognized by the American press even though the English press should attempt to belittle It.
 The American team, which was organ ized to go to Paris, will not be accom- panied by Commissioner Sullivan, whose presence in the United States Is impera- tive at this time upon private business. The two days sports at Paris will be held on July 31 and August l. The French committee called upon the Ameri- can committee over a week ago and for mally extended the invitation to com- pete. The invitation was accepted at once. At the time 1t was thought that both Barlow S. Weeks and Joseph Mc- Cabe would be able to accompany the team upon It's journey into France.
 There is no question that the fifth Olympiad now on Is a failure. Bungins management, bad weather and general bad conditions have played their part. The attendance from the first was poor, but it was not until the first week was over that steps were taken to remedy this The weather was very bad during the first days of the series. and rain fell almost every day, adding to the discom- forts which the athletes already felt
 England did not respond to the great international fete. The English. in fact. seemed to look upon 1t coidly Out of the whole mismanaged affair there Is only one whose name stands to the credit of the British isles. He is Lord Desbor- ough If all those in charge had been as fair as he, there would have been no cause for complaint. Tbe Americans are loud in his praise.
