Erasmus Swimmers
Win Over Boys

Erasmus Hall High School strength
ened its claim for the Brooklyn Bor-
ough dual swimming championship by
easily defeating Boys High School at
the Fourth Avenue baths, Brooklyn
Yesterday. The score was 35 TO 10
The victors displayed their superiority
by'winning all six first places.
Captain Lewis was the individual
star for Erasmus, capturing the dive
for. form and the 100-yard swim, and
aiding the Erasmus team to score
victory in the 16O-yard relay race. In
the diving competition, Lewis so far
outclassed his rivals that the judges
awarded him the full credit Of 80
points.
Bows High would have had the con-
ISOLATION Of winning one first place had
not Paul Chase, its distance swimmer,
mistaken the number OF laps covered
in the 22O-yard event Chase was lead
ing by three yards one turn from nome
with Ross, of Erasmus Hall, IN ms
wake. At this point Chase stopped
swimming. thinking he had covered the
required twelve laps. His teammates
yelled frantically for him TO continue
bu. by this time Ross was in the van.
Chase sprinted madly after the Eras-
mus Hall boy and rapidly made up
some of the lost ground, but ne was
beaten by Ross by touch. The fast
time of 1853 speaks we'll for the per-
Torrance of both boys.
Although Erasmus captured the relay
race, the opening event, IL was forced
TO swim its hardest 10 win BY four
yards.

Bob Fitzsimmons Made
Fortune; Left Nothing

Improvidence seems to be the rule
among boxers. most of whom will not
lay aside anything for rainy day.
When Bob Fitzsimmons died, recently,
he left nothing in money or property.
Yet he earned a fortune in the ring.
He settled a house and many thousands
of dollars on his second wife, Rose
Julian, and her children.
He received $4,000 from his two
battles with Maher, $4,000 from his
bout with Hall, about $4,000 from his
scrap with Corbett at Carson City,
$4,000 for whipping Dan Creedon, $751;
600 for two bouts with Tom Sharkey,
$4,000 for two battles with Jefries,
$4,000 for the contest with Gus Rub
lin and many thousands more for other
ring exhibitions.
In all it is estimated that Fitz made
$3.50, 900 in the ring, besides which he
received about $4,000 from moving
pictures Of his fights.
