COMING CHAMP
Veteran Says His Son viii Be
Ready for All Hopes in
Another Year.
By Frank G.. Menke.

FEW YORK, Jan. 29.-"The New
N York State Boxing Commits
- sion may bar me from re-en-
tering the ring in New York, but they
can't bar Bob Fitzsimmons, Jr., from
some day becoming the champion"
So spoke old Bob Fitzsimmons to-
day. Somewhat crushed by the re-
fusal of the court to lift the ban on
his efforts to re-enter the ring in
New York State, which the boxing
commission placed there, "Old Bob
finds some happiness to-day in the
fact that his 1S-year-old son gives
promise Of developing into the great
est fighting machine of the age.
THAT boy of mine is a wonder"
declared "Old Bob" Hes a natural
fighter. Why, right now he's so good
that he could whip me if I were in
my prime-and I guess that was some
little job, according to what the
newspapers used to say.
nyI1HY, only yesterday the boy
w landed one on my jaw and
put me out. OF course, it was only
in training bout, but 1t shows the
punch the kid has got.
Il didn't want my boy to be a fight
er, but he took to it like a duck does
TO water. Before l knew anything
about his ability he was knocking
the daylights out of some toughs and

wasn't at the scrap, but was told
about 1t the next day, and you can
imagine my surprise when l was told
1t was my own boy, then 16 years old.
that had knocked out an experienced
scrapper.
"IMELE, right then and there I
had talk with the boy. He
told me that he wanted to be a fight
er. l tried to talk him out of it at
first, but he was determined So
set about teaching him some of the
tricks 1 had picked up. He learned
EN- in no time and invented a lot Of
his own that are wonders
He's been begging me to turn him
loose on some of those white hopes
that are skinning the public with
their farcical exhibitions, but I want
the boy to bide his time. He's young
yet, and not fully developed An
other year will do the trick. I'll work
him up the ladder gradually and
when he finally blossoms out you'll
find what I tell you is right-that
he'll take rank as the greatest heavy
weight in the history OF the game"

sister! And she asked him about you,
and he told her, and she was going
downstairs with her mother to find
you when l met her. Listen! The old
lady said, Are you employed in the
workroom, and do you know anybody
by the name of Christy Collins? I saw
the paper In the girls hand and told
them everything. How I'd wrote the
slip, and you were sick, and they're
coming to talk to you. Mercy! Here
they are, now!"
A plain, elderly woman and q young
girl in a big leghorn hat, rosy with a
wreath, were entering the restroom.
In the girls cheeks were just the same
dashes of carmine there were in John
Wilcox's cheeks. her eyes were of the
same darkness, and she had his smile.
There is great deal more to this
story. but it must be told briefly. The
elderly woman and the girl took
Christy home with them to farm in

lived They had heard about her. It

not strange to them.
They kept her all summer. She grew

She was very disagreeable. because
she was tired and saw that she must
be stfll more fatigued before closing
time. Besides, that very night she
was due to dance until midnight at the
country club.
The appearance of the head milliner
caused a moments stiffness among
the girls. One and all admired and
envied her. All knew that once, long,
