For some years British foreign in

the reason that vast sums were alb

had been passing through a period Of

Another good but misguided woman

are lies and ought not to be tolerated.

would have hanged on the highest hill.

sports. This was an opportunity that
young Bob determined not to let 20 by.

Mace was a wonderful treat for the
boy. The lanky y%oungster a read all
about the wonderful English fighter, had
pored over his history and battles until
he knew them by heart. and now that
he had a chance TO actually see his hero
face To face n really talk with him
the boy was in the seventh heaven of
delight.

while Fitzsimmons was really a middle
weight at this time he wanted to enter
the heavyweight class, and so told Mace.
Because of his long. thin legs the boy
did not show 20 advantage when dressed
In citizen clothing. Mace strongly adj

weight division. but the boy persisted.

When Fitzsimmons stripped and Mace
saw the boys wonderful muscular de-

Of the lanky youth. Fltzsimmons told
Mace how he mad been practising box

his ileas. Mace commented favorably
on them and advised the overJoyed
y~oungster TO continue to, develop the
scientific side of the game. Young Fita
entered the ring that night and knocked
out four men, among them being one
OF Mace's ringers. He won the tourna-
ment and the amateur heavyweight
championship OF New Zealand.
The winning OF the Mace tournament
made Fitzsimmons quite n celebrity In
sporting circles in and around Timaru.

forced 10 turn most OF his attention to
reading about ring fights and methods
and working out for himself new blows

forced to recover several times and his
