1T MUST BE NICE.

A recent issue of Punch, has the
following description of a society fad
introduced by Mrs. Nicholas Long
worth. and her sister, Miss Ethel
Roosevelt:
The Roller Skate Walk, introduced
by Mrs. Nicholas Longworth and Miss
Ethel Roosevelt (says the Washing
ton correspondent of the Evening
Standard) promises to outshine the
Gibson Walk in popularity. 1t is a
cross between the military tread of
the chorus girl In comic opera and
the glide of the premier toe dancer.
The ball of the foot is planted
first. the legs are kept straight, the
body erect on the hips, and as far as
possible the walker glides.
This looks a little complicated, but
is nothing TO some other modes of
progression we have lately heard of.
For instance. the Bangor Fit Is a
compromise between a motor car
spill and shooting the moon" After
giving one wild look, the filter glis-
sades as fast as possible to the near
est railway station and before know
ing where or who she is, is found,
say. at Oban.
The Aldershot Scoot Is a eombina-
ton of ducks and brakes" and an
earthquake. ll'or the first half sec
ond 1t is all plain sailing and then
gives way and you come
violently to mother earth. After a
month of repairs you begin again and
repeat the evolution, covering quite
a lot of ground--with debris. II

JUST THINK Of BOB F|Tz At At
RETURNING To KNUCKER BUSTING

Australia must be fond of
spectacles. The land of the kan
CARGO, where Tommy Burns drop
ped his crown a year ago Deem
Der "a, must indeed be hard put
for entertainment, when it be-
comes necessary for old Bob Fitz-
simmons to bend his creaking
knees and timber his complaining
joints to box for the amusement
of the public.
Just think of ruby Robert. aged
Al, the battered remnant of for
mer days, going on even with Bill
Lang. the Australian heavyweight.
Isn't it shame? Imagine the
shrek that would up IL old
freckles would suggest a return
to the ring in this country! Why,
some active member of the s. p.
C. G. would have the promoter
pinched for cruelty to Bob in his
second childhood.
Bob Fitzsimmons was born in
Elston, Cornwall, England, June
4, 1862. and did his first fighting
when he graduated from the
blacksmith's forge in Australia.
He whipped every middleweight
and heavyweight that would face
him in Australia, and came to
this country in 1891. After
knocking out the Black Pearl in
four rounds he beat Jack Demp-
sey TO feather duster for the
middleweight title, in 10 rounds.
Fitzsimmons' meteoric career
has no parallel in pugilistic his
tory. From an unknown hel
jumped to the front rank at all
bound and remained there to theI
last. He took them all in. big and
little, beating them without al
rest until he became middIewelghtl
and heavyweight champion OF the
world. Then he ran into Jim JEFF
fries and lost his crown. but he
quickly defeated Jim DAILY, Ed
Dunkhorts, Gus Rubin and Tom
6harkey, the four lasting II.
rotihds. Fitz took another chance
~ Jsffries then, and succumbed in
eight rounds.
1t was after the second fight
with the big fellow that Fitz be-
gan slipping, and he continued

MY FIGHT WITH TOMMY BURNS
THE MOST IMPORTANT TO ME
BY JACK JOHNSON.
Heavyweight Champion of the
World.

Naturally the fight which ]
consider the most important in
my career was with Tommy
Burns at Rushcutters bay, N. S.
W., Dec. "a, 1908, when | realized
my ambition and became the
worlds heavyweight champion.
l don't think anyone will con-
tradict me when ! say that ! out
fought, outboxed and outgen-
eraled Burns. He put up won
derfully game fight, but / being
so much more clever and strong
er, he did not have a chance to
win. And the same was true of
Stanley Ketchel, as game a boy
as ever climbed through the ropes.
L beat Burns in Ii rounds. i
had chased him half around the
world and took the short end of
the purse, 6,OOO-whereas he re-
ceiyed $4,000 at least-because
L wanted the title. L knew 1
could win and 1 won as 1 pleased.
II has DSSh SdIu L WdlL lOT lily
opponents, but the story of my
fight with Burns proves the con-
trary. I was the aggressor all the
way, and really won the fight in
the first round, when l landed
a right uppercut on Burns chin at
close range. Had / ever been
doubtful of the result, l was posi-
tive had Burns beaten after that
punch.
Throughout the fight Burns
rushed, gamely trying to land a
blow that would hurt. He threw
