iife of Fitssimmons that never before

Bob t'ltzsimmons was remarkable
Tor many things as ring performer,
out he possessed no asset more won
derful than his recuperative powers.
Time and again in his big fights he
was in such shape that it seemed i'm
possible for him to weather" two or
three minutes more of furious bat
Ting. Frequently he was down and
seemed on the verge OF being counted
out. But always he would get up, last
out the round somehow, and come
back In the next session iraculously
fresh and strong~--come back to score
an ultimate victory.
So II was on the day that he fought
me in Carson City with the heavy
weight championship OF the world at
stake. AS / have explained In the ar
ticle which preceded this, | sent Bob
down In the sixth round which came
as climax to the bombardment of
blows to the head and body of the
Cornishman which had started in the
fourth. He took the count of nine

spectators felt when the sixth round
was over that / was certain winner
that Bob could not freshen UP SUI
fciently during the one minute of rest
TO withstand the natural rush which
| would make for him with the open
ing of the seventh round.
But that so per cent was wrong
During the one minute of rest that
followed my bug round in that fight,
the seconds Of the Cornishman work
ed over him In u frantic way, They
sponged his face. violently rubbed his
legs and arms and Splashed water
over him and when Bob answered. the
seventh round bell he looked much
better and fresheT.
AS we went TO the center of the ring
Bob led with a left missed and pur-
poseiy fell into a clinch' AS we broke
away. ! shot right to Bob's face and
the blood started again. Bob made
wild left swing but 1 ducked and
sent left handler flush To his nose.
And the blood came again in volumes.
