Fitzsimmons Saved From Knockout
by Fluke Gong
BY JAMES j. CORBETT.
Copyright. 1917, by King Features Syndicate Incl

Fitz was saved. But he was saved
only BY ffuke. The round wasn't
over legally when the bell was hit. 1t
had at least thirty seconds-perhaps
fifty--to go Someone other than the
timekeeper hit that bell with a cane.
Whether that person did 1t accident
ally during the excitement that fol-
lowed Makers terrific punch, or
whether 1t was done Intentionally by
men who bet on F1tz. cannot say.
But the fact Is undisputable that the
bell was hit before the round was
over, and only through that fact was
Bob Fitzsimmons saved from being
Knockout victim at the hands of
Peter Maher.
With the bang OF the gong, Joe
Choynsko. who was one of Fitz's sec
onds, rushed into The ring and, with
other men from Fits corner. carried
the Australian back to his chair
There. by means of frantic s'apping
and by the use OF nearly > bucketfui

half minute before the next round
sta rted
F'ttz came out of his corner for the
second round in a seeming daze. But
his brain was sufficiently agile to die

get Fitz out into the open so that he
could send home another one OF his
terrific waliops. was foiisd. F1tx
clinched and kept up that program
until long into the fourth. BY that
time the Australian. aided by his
marvellous recuperative powers, had
recovered from his grosginess.
But FiZ fought cautiously. He
took no further chances with Makers
right hand. The Austria liam. knowing
that he had the longer reao h. used it

Whenever Peter would rush F'itz

times during Fits career when he
fought q tahhing battle. But he real

great Irish opponent.

Editors note: This is the ninth OF
series of articles by Jim Corbett
which deal with the career OF Bob
Fitzstmnons. Few men knew Fftz ss
Corbett knew him, and so these
stories reveal some incidents in the
life of Fftzsimmons that never before
have been printed. The next chapter
will appear tomorrow
Bob F'itzsin mons met Peter Maher
in the first of their three fights on
March 2. 1892. in New Orleans. And
what a sensational battle It was
That contest was the first In which
Fitz was pitted against n man much
heavier than himself. The Irish
cha NIPPON tipped the scales some
where in the neigh borhood of 1856
hounds Just what Fits weight was
for that contest FitZ alone knew. But
Bob weighed we'll over $50 pounds.
In the year that mad passed since
he whipped Dempsey he had been
adding weight to his frame and real
ly had outgrew the mfddleweight
ranks But Bob rarely would get on
the scales and never would make
public announcement of his weight.
Il wasn't necessary when he fought
Maher. because he was battling a
heavyweight and they didn't have to
make any limit.
huge crowd gathered for that
fight and it experienced n succession
or thrills IN the first round The
meeting between Maher and Fitz
brought together the two men who
ranked then as the hardest httters in
derful punch. but doubt whether II
was more terrific than that which
Maher could deal out And before the
first round was over both men had
exhibited their walloping powers
Soon after the bang Of the FIRST
gong F@it8 swung a siedge hammer
blow 70 the mouth Of Peter Maher
which split the Trishms MS lip In a
CHASTITY fashion So terrific was the
punch that II knocked Maher back

QUITS ROPEO ARENA
FOR SAWOUST RING
jess Willard. Carrying Over 500
Pounds, Decides 10 Abandon Fistic
Title to Men who Can Make
Fighting Weight.
BY ARTHUR sTRUwE.

New York. Nov. 19.--The prize ring
has no further lures for Jess Willard.
The champion OF the world Is about
to retire. And he will be the hrst
heavyweight champion who will Leave
the ring stlll wearing the highest toga
in pugilistic circles.
Jess loves the circus He went into
IT after he won the championship
from Jack Johnson. Then he was
only one Of the side shows. Now Jess
is a fuil-fedgcd circus-owner.
Lack of suitable opponents to test
his merits In the ring Ia also one OF
the reasons why the champion wants
to get out OF the game. Another
thing is his propensity for taking on
weight Jess. at the present time,
tips the beam well over the 800 mark.
It would require months of hard
training for him to reduce in a. match
for the pionship. Jess Is an
easy going citizen He doesn't love
hard work The strenuous hours in
training camp is not TO his liking.
He doesn't have to fight for the money
in it. Jess has made his pile. The
circus is adding to ii,
And in looking over the field OF
near champions there isn't one on
the list who would make a worthy
opponent for Willard The champion
wants $40, 900 for his end If he 10 to
appear in the ring again. No pro-
moter would give that figure for q
contest between willard and either
Fred Fulton, Carl Morris. Jim Cot-
fey Bill Brennan or Billy Niske, the
latter a light heavy.
Outside of Fred Fulton, there isn't
one of this quintet who could even
make willard extend himself.
And with willard out of the race.
there is to he a villa scramble to
crown another heavyweight title hold
err 1t will take months, maybe years
before another champion makes his
appearance.

NEW AMATEUR RULE
FOR GOLF UNLIKELY
Men Named for Offices of L. s. G. \
Against Any Changes Until After
War---Ouimct Fight May
BE Lost.

New York. Nov l9.--Possibilities Of
a change in the present amateur def
milton in the rules of the United States
Golf association appears more obscure
than ever, according to local golfers
who have had a chance to scan over the
names Of the men nominated for Of
fee and to be elected at the next
meeting of the national body in Phila
delphia during January. Although
some Of the present officials repeated
~ have made 1t known that they
would not be averse to new rule,
members OF the so-called old guard
have been openly against any changes
especially during the war.
When Howard W. Perrin lays aside
the gavel and ascends to the golf1ng
ranks once more, as seems certain he
will do at the next annual meeting
sinct Frederick S. Wheeler is nomi-
mated to succeed thu popular Phila
delphian. followers of Francis ouimet
will lose a. strong champion. Mr. Per-
rim has been in favor Of a change in
the constitution of the national asso-
citation which would allow the rein
statement of the young Boston golfer
and suggested that Mt the next meet
ing the delegates would have a chance
TO present new rule before him, but
business has forestailed this by call
ing Mr.. Perrin from the golf world
and for the first time i'm the history
of golf giving a president only one
term in office.
The old guard again will be in
strong command, and it is plain to
local followers of the oolitics of golf
that the West Is not going To he en-
couraged in it's insurgency Many
Western clubs have instructed THEN
delegates for fight for a more len
lent Interpretation OF the amateur
rule and also for a rule abolshinG
the stymie, both OF which were nassed
by the Western Golf association last
spring. However, these delegates may
find 1t hard shedding when the annual
meeting couvenes, hecs use most oi
the men now nominated are known &c
be against abolishing the stynie, as
we'll as against any amateur rule other
than the one in existence now.
