(By ROBERT EDGREN.)

NEW YORK, July 14.-No man
ever gained greater fistic, fame with
a single blow than did Robert Fitz-
simmons at Carson twelve years ago.
1t was on that noted occasion that
a waiting world first heard of the
solar plexus The curious name of
Fitzsimmon's winning punch was on
every mans tongue in every civil
lied country on earth within few
hours. 1t took like an apt slang
phrase or the title song in the days
of annie Rooney" and Down
Went McGinty." In fact, to this
day. I'm not quite sure whether Bob
Fitzsimmons owed his instant and
enormous popularity to the fact that
he, a middleweight, had just knock
ed out the worlds heavyweight
champion, or to these two words,
solar plexus." That famous fight
at Carson will live in the memories
of those who sat at the ringside As
long as any of us are left alive. A
worlds championship was great
affair ten Or twelve years ago.
The fight was on. 1t is history
now that for six rounds Corbett cut
and jabbed Fitz as he pleased. The
trouble was that Fitzsimmons hat
his wife sitting near his corner. HI
turned toward her often to nod OF
wink encouragement, and every tim'
the freckled one shifted his eye
Corbett stepped in like a flash will
a sudden blow. In the sixth roun'
Fitz, distressed by the blood tina
trickled down his throat from hi
cut lips, slipped to his knees an
took the count of nine. He got u
staggering about until the bell rang
Corbett, triumphant, pranced to hi
corner and sat down to laugh an

NEW BLOW WON
FAME AT CARSON
IL
Solar Plexus, the Curious Name of the
Winning Punch of Fitzsimmons.

He danced about. In succeeding
rounds the gray shade turned gray
er. Soon it was the pallor OF physi-
cal exhaustion, for Fitzsimmons
fought harder every minute, He was
like a man of steel. No longer did
Corbett's jabs have any effect ex-
cept to make the blacksmith grin in
derision and fail away more fur
iously. Fitzsimmons missed many
good punch, yet he landed few,
and every one of these counted. One
that l remember clearly struck high
on Corbett's jaw on the right side
and nearly knocked him down. Aft
erward the whole side of his face
bulged out for few days from the
effect of that one blow.
Solar Plexus Blow.
In the fatal fourteenth round
Fitzsimmons tore in harder and
harder. Soon Corbett was content
to step away and jab lightly. This
was what Fitzsimmons had waited
for. He began working for an
opening for his now famous shift
and left hook for the solar pick
u.s." After time it came, right in
front of the moving picture ma,

OGDEN FIRE CHIEF SAYS
REPORT IS UNFAIR

That the recent report OF the Ma
tional Board of Fire Underwriters is
nothing more nor less than pretext
OF the fire insurance companies TO eX-
cuse the high rates Of insurance now
prevalent in ogden city, is the opin-
ion of T. J. Paine, chief of the ogden
fire department. In discussing the
matter yesterday Chief Paine declar
ed that the report is manifestly un-
fair. While the list of recommenda-
tons submitted in the report are per
tInent. and should be adopted in their
entirety If possible. yet they could,
with equal applicability be applied
10 every city In the United States
the size Of Ogden. If they were
adopted declared Chief Paine. there
would be no field for fire insurance
companies in Ogden
The claim that the Ogden business
district is open to hazardous confiag-
rations is exaggerated" declared
Chief Paine. The wide. streets, the
vacant spaces between blocks and the
fairly good building construction are
all contrary 10 the findings OF the re-
port. and while there is much room
for improvement. there is no reason
for such an alarming report, The re-
port is not based on statistical knowl'
edge, but is prepared after superb
cial Investigation OF the board.
The report Of 1908 made under the
direction OF the government, shows
that Ogden city holds an enviable rec
ord as compared with other cities Of
its size In the United States. Figured
on a basis of 25.00J population this
government report showed that the
confagration loss for that year is 5G
cents per capita. with only two other
cities of the same class having low.
er average and they covered an area
equal to about one-fourth Of that GOV
cred by the local fire department The
same report showed that Salt Lake.
with a population figured at 100000
sustained n loss of $6SS per capita
during that year while other cities
ran as high as S3S per capita in fire
losses"

who was a specialist in skin diseases,

every known remedy, with the same
results. I thought 1 would never get
better until a friend of mine told me to
try the Cuticura Remedies. So / triec,
them as the last resource, and am very
glad that I did, for after four or five

Jointly with the corn club. and all to

We have never heard bette,

happy in his words to the boy contest
ants. He got their hearts, as we'll as
treir ears and their interest, and they
Will not only make better farmers
themselves for hearing him. but they

Mr. Parker beamed with pride in his
native county-he was born III the
Sand Hills" of Wayne-over what
the boys of Wayne county have ac-
complished in this contest. Their av
erage yield per acre is So bushels.
whereas the highest average yield pc,

tened to superb and scholarly ad
dress by Mr.. r. d. w. Connor. whose
ability as a speaker, whose resource
fulness as a scholar, whose personal
ity as a man mark him as The highes
