ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

/. 1900-Bob Fitzsimmons knocked out Tom Sharkey in End round at Coney Island. In this battle Ruby Robert revenged himself upon the Sailor, to whom he had lost on foul in the 8th round at San Francisco in 1896. Bob believed that he had got the worst of it in that decision, and when he. got another chance at the Hibernian tar he lost no time in try ing to even up the score. Sharkey never had a chance, and in the sec- ond chapter he took the count. This bout practically marked the passing as heavyweight stars of both Fitz- simmons and Sharkey. Bob tackled Jim Jeffries again about a year after whipping Sharkey, and put up a great fight, but couldn't hit Jeff hard enough to put him out Since leaving the ring both Bob and Tom have run their crafts upon the financial rocks. It is understood that FiZ has prac- tically nothing left of his once big pile. Sharkey was recently declared a bankrupt in San Francisco, with big liabilities and almost no assets, but his financial condition is proba bly, not so bad as it listens. Tom was always an expert at freezing onto the coin, and there is no danger that he will ever have to sell shoelaces on a street corner in order to get his daily bread and beer.

Birthday of Gowdy,
 Hero of Braves In
 Series With Mack1ner

Hank Gowdy, who has been the mainstay of the backstop department of the Braves ever since he Joined the club for the second time in 1914, Is twenty-six years old today. Harry -as he prefers to be called-is a na- tive of Columbus, O., and started playing professional ball in the Buck eye State, although he is often re- ferred to as "the tall Texan" from the circumstance that he broke into fast company by way of Dallas. Hank was a. first baser with the Lancaster club of the Ohio league in 1908 and 1909, and it was to cover the ini- tial bag that he was lured to the Texas league by Dallas in 1910. He batted .312 and covered first so nice- ly that the Giants grabbed him in 1911, but in midseason swapped him to the Braves. In Boston he was used as catcher, but in 1913 he was sent to Buffalo for further experience. He swatted .317 for the Bisons and was recalled by the Braves in 1914, doing great work in helping Stallings outfit to the championship. He was the swat ting sensation of the worlds series, getting four two baggers, a triple and a home run in eleven trips to the plate. Never before nor since has Hank slug ged like that, the neighborhood of .240 being his accustomed altitude. Hank was bat boy for the Columbus club of the American Association in his youth.
