Through an inadvertant error the
impression seems 10 have been created
smong our patrons and friends that the
Sunday afternoon concerts viii be
maintained as a weekly event How
ever. owing to the amount Of prepara-
ton required for a successful perform
ance this would be laying too heavy a
burden on any one Institution. Our in
tention is 20 continue the concerts
throughout the season At intervals. as
frequently as the requisite programs are

In view Of the attendance at last

feels moro than justified in adopting
this policy. Duo notice viii be given OF

honeymoon in April of the same year when Jess Willard was returning from Havana after beating Jack Johnson for the worlds title. Fitz, bedecked in a tall hat and frock coat, with his bride greeted the new worlds champion at the station in Washington. Fitzs eyes fairly danced out of his head when he shook Willard by the hand and ejacu- lated, Well, I hope you gave him one for me-" Willard nodded assent.
 Despite all charges to the contrary, Fitz was a good man domestically. He was intensely fond of small children and animals and was never content unless he had either about him. While he was particularly fond of dogs, yet ne had a penchant for betting wild animals.
 One of his friends, Pat Kelly by name, was visitor at Fitzs Long Isl- and home. Fitz had pet lion. Soon after Kelly's arrival there and while sitting in a room of Fitz's house, Fitz and all the others excused themselves for moment and left Pat sitting alone. Pat had not heard of the pet lion. Directly a door opened and in walked the lion. Pat sat frozen to t0s, chair as the lion walked up to him and laid it's paw on his lap. Pat was 3 very good natured- fellow and fond of animals, but on this occasion he forgot all his manners toward dumb brutes.
 All he could do was to sit tight and yell tOh, Bob! Oh, Bob!' until Bob came and rescued him from his peril by grabbing the lion as though it were a kitten and carrying if away in his arms. Pat breathed a sigh of relief
 In addition to his attachments Fitz

A fall from the ring in the fifth round of the fifteen round bout be- tween K. O. Palitz of Hartford and Dave Powers of Maiden, Mass, brought the fight to an abrupt close. Palitz and Powers up to the time of the fall had been about evenly matched, neither one having much advantage. Palitz led the fighting most of the
 time and drew first blood with a left jab to the nose in the second round Powers did not exert himself much during the first few rounds and was just opening up on the Hartford lad when in the fighting he forced Pahtz to the ropes and in a clinch both fight CTS fell through the ropes to the hoor
 Palitz struck on his head and upon recovering was a bit daZed and weak A physician who was in the audience examined Pa1itz and it was deemed
 advisable to call the bout off.
 Powers weighed in at the Aetna

 about 142, or three pounds less than
 he had to make. Paltz did not weigh

CloSe-Up No. 6 By William H. Recap.


 Bob Fitzsimmons held the worlds heavyweight title two years, two months and twenty-three days, being beaten by James J. Jeffries on June g, 1899, at Coney Island in the elev- enth round. Injured and sore hands, the conqueror of Corbett. Had his hands been all right Jeffries would never had been champion. Even af- ter he was forced to take the count full strength he pleaded for another chance and travelled to the Pacific coast to get it. In the meanwhile Fitz had beaten Jim Thorn in one round; Jim Daily. who was Corbett's sparring partner, in one: Ed Dunk horst, in two; Gus Ruhlin in six, a feat which Jeffries failed to accom- plish up to that time in twenty rounds and sent Tom Sharkey to sleep in two rounds. Fitz believed his hands were right again and so did Jeffries when they met on July %. 1902. For seven rounds F1tz gave the 220- pound champion the mau1ing of his career. It was all that the late Billy Delaney could do to keep Jeffries in the ring. He was on the verge of quit ting several times. It was only by the utmost persuasion that he was kept inside the ropes and sent up for lower than ever. When in close Fitz undertook to jolt him on the jaw and the blow landed on Jeffries' head. An other. swing struck the elboW and in a twfnkling Fitz's hands were out of commission. It was then plain sail- ] ing for Jeffries and Fitz was beaten down by superior weight and strength. Jeffries admitted that up to the time | the battle turned in his favor he had received the worst beating of his ca reer.
 That finished Fitz as a worlds i heavyweight champion. He subse- quently fought nine other battles win ming two by knockouts, one by de- one was rated an exhibition and he was knocked out himself three times | In January, 1914. at the age of fifty one he discovered that nature could no longer be denied and he virtually retired from the ring. If any boxer | in the history of the sport gained his victories through skill generalship and courage that man was Bob Fftz- | simmons. Fitz by his dynamic punch ing, strategy and wonderful recupera- | tive powers discounted the element o1 | luck. He was a real champion and it is a great pity that he did not re- | tire undefeated
 He had a unique domestic life. H, | was married several times. His frs wife was Rose Julian, sister of Martin Julian, and one of the famous Juliar | sisters, worlds noted gymnasts Some years after her death he married Julis Clifford, who was well known to tn. | stage. The couple were later divorced and in 1915 he married Miss Temo Al. len, who had been associated with hin l in his theatrical work He was -on his

 The two leagues decided to open the 1918 season on Tuesday. April 16, a week later than last year, and to play a 154 game schedule which has been the programme for years.
 The National League agreed to the American League plan for the co1lec- ton Of the federal war tax It was de- cided to collect only what the govern ment imposes-three cents on bleach CT seats. five cents on pavilion seats, eight cents on grandstand seats and ten cents or. box seats.

possessed wonderful personal magnet ism. Early in 1903 Peter Maher had been knocked out by Joe Choynski in the second round at the Washingt ton Sporting club in this city. Some or Maher's Celtic friends were a bit skeptical as to the realneSs of the knockout. The writer was the third man in the ring. After the show he was approached by a former admirer of the Irish heavyweight, who said:
 Don't you ever hire that Peter Ma street to see him.
 T am real sorry" answered the writer, "because we are contemplating matching him with Fitzsimmons at an early show of the club
 Sure, and I'd go and see ITitzsim- mons," was the quick reply. He could not resist the magnetism of the great Cornishman even with his aversion to Maher.
 That was why Fitz was always a great money proposition for promoters He was a good card and made a for tune in the ring, but it slipped away from him. Fitz trusted everybody. He failed to see the alloy in man and in consequence was soon separated from his money.
 No monuments are necessary to per- retuate the memory of Bob Fitzsim- mons. He was the greatest fighter for his pounds and inches that ever lived, and coupled with it he was a real man.

Winters and used straight left to the face. Winters appeared to be rather slow in taking advantage of his opene ings and in following up his man.
 The exhibition was a clean one and the fans could not complain as they were used fairly. The unfortunate ending of the main bout was regret ted by the management as well as the of a good go full of action. The hall was packed to capacity.
 Challenges.
 Several challenges were issued from the ring. Sailor Wilson challenged Abe, the Newsboy. and Abe accepted the challenge.
 Young Glover of Newark, who is making his home in this city. issued a challenge to all corners.
 George Robinson challenged Sailor Jim Carroll
 The officials of the bouts were Jack referee. and Jackie Wilson, timer.
 From the Rineside.
 Marty Keough looked more as if he yves refereeing a prize waltz than a boxing exhibition.
 The management of the bout de- serves credit for staging such an ex- cellent card and keeping things or derly.
 Marty Allen was a husky looking little chap when he entered the ring but lack of training seemed to be against him. To many fans it may have looked as if Powers was getting the worst of the battle but to those who know him he was only just getting warmed up.
 Jackie Wilson who refereed the pre- liminary was on the job every minut Q and kept the boys plugging at it ev- cry inch of the way. It is reported that Young Lewis is a protegee of Jack Carberry who was at one time prominent in Norwich boxing circles. Another bout between Powers and Palitz would draw a good crowd if it should be staged on the winner take all basis.
