the Alleged Fake With Jim

37-BOB ~FITZSIMMONS,

-ITZSIMMONS was now In the firm
grasp OF the fighting bug. AS he
had gained nothing from his ANA
teur fights but a cup or two. a pair
OF boxing gloves n some valuable
experience. he decided TO turn pro-
fessional. In 1851 Bon fought his first
The old London prize ring rules. his
opponent being Arthur Cooper. The
battle was held at 11maru and Fitz-
simmons won by a knockout In three
rounds. He had two more fights in
Timaru under the same rules. with
Jack Murphy and Jim Crawford, both
of whom lie knocked out in three
rounds each. The stake In each OF
these battles was Ave pounds or less.
Fitssimmons was still In the appren-
tice stag OF blacksmithing and his
wages were very small. The fights he
could get In New Zealand were few
and far between and the stakes were
Insignificant. so Boo decided to go up
TO Australia. His ultimate object was
TO make enough money In the ring to
enable him 10 set up a blacksmithing
shop for himself But IT cost money TO
take passage to sydney and Bob didn't
have any. So Bob slipped aboard n
sailing vessel bound for sydney and hid
himself. Two days after the ship left
port hunger and thirst forced IL
from his hiding place and he was dis
covered. He was taken to the captain
and told his ~story-how he wanted to
