Bob FitZsilnlnons
Fighting for Life

CHICAGO, Oct. 20.-Robert Fitzsim-
mons, the pugilist, who is critically i'll
at a Chicago hospital, is making a
brave fight for his life, although the at.
tending physicians hold out little hope
for his recovery. He was unconscious
most of the day and is gradually losing
strength. His wife, who collapsed yes
terday after being at his bedside for
forty-eight hours without sleep, reeov-
cred sufficiently to-day to resume her
vigil.
Among the kilograms received at the
hospital to-day was one from Battling
Nelson, sent from Paris, Tex, which
was addressed to Good Old Bob Fitz-
simmons" and read as follows:
"We all hope you put the solar
plexus punch over. |, you can land
a solar plexus, put over he left shit
and get we'll. One thing certain, II
you lose the fight you will be lighting
honestly 20 the finish. May the good
Lord be with you so you win
James J. Corbett, from whom Fitz-
simmons won TIE championship IN a
memorable battle at Carson City, New,
in 1897, wired:
at is my hope that the great war
rior will pull through safely and en-
joy many more years of life. Please
convey my sincerest wishes for a
speedy recovery, and tell him ! feel
certain he will beat pneumonia as he
beat all his foes for many years
James J. Jefres, who came into the
heavyweight championship ln 1893 ey
defeating Fitzsimmons, sent the FOL
lowing:
He was the gamest man ever met
and he'll not take the knockout now:
Tell him Pm pulling for him to WIN.

realm of individual play showed only

a brilliant defensive game at left

The contest proved something OF

Jolt for the experts, in that there was

play which for years his been sadly

quick, and each man displayed a dis
position to stay with the play until it
