Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1913-12-31

I've always been a home man in
every way. I've lived careful life,
and years don't count with me. MY
age is fifty-one, but time is a liar,
I'm only twenty-five right now, and
am willing to meet any man in the
world"
Fftz also said that Jeffries was
drugged at Reno and that other fight
ers had also been drugged, including
himself in his bout with Jeffries at
Coney Island, but he refused to admit
that Corbett was either drugged or
fouled in their contest at Carson City,
which, Of course, was quite natural.

Patsy Kline, who is talking about
claiming the featherweight champion
ship. and who meets Tommy Buck at
Philadelphia tomorrow afternoon,
called at the Evening Star Office this
morning to say that he was in good
condition for the contest. Kline de-
clared that he had a right to claim
the title, now that John~- Kilbane
was going into the lightweight class,
and he said he was sure he could beat
all the featherweights in the bust
ness.

IT'S just as we'll that the New York
State Boxing Commission refused to
allow Bob Fitzsimmons to enter the
arena, for such criticism as the fol-
lowing, only more SO. would surely
have been on tap:
]. P. NJ:
What is all this talk about Bob
| Fitzsimmons? Only q year ago he
was boxing IN three-round bout
with an old man representing the De-
troit Athletic Club. Bob was as
wobbly as could be, and was nothing
| like his old self. Why, he could not
kill a fly with his punch, and 1 can
not see how he could stand up in a
ring after getting hard wallop
After the third round Of the bout
mention, Bob was painting like a race
horse. If any doubt yet remains that
Bob can still fight. take Il look at
his last fight in the moving pictures
! and you will not want to send him
| into the ring. M. r.
Our advice to Fitz is to give up the
idea of fighting and work to have his
son step into his fathers shoes.

We have the name of the Americas
Cup defender now and next summer
we will have the winner, we hope.
The selection of Defiance was a
happy thought. Sir Thomas Upton
can have his Shamrock, but Defiance
is good enough for us.

What, if any, are the English pa
perS printed in France and Germany
which would have articles relating tc

winter. Also what papers in England
which would have accounts of races

KENNETH HALL.
The English newspapers, as whole
do not devote enough space to cycling
to speak about. In France, the only
English paper is THE Herald" which
covers the six-day meets. "L'Auto,
the French sporting paper, is prob
ably the best on cycling on the Other
side.
