FrrZsfMoNs-HAIL BATTLE

Bob F'itzsimmons knocked out Jim Hall in the fourth round at New Or leans on March 8, 1893, just twenty five years ago today. This bout dem- cnstrated how much better hindsight is than foresight. Although Hall was g. classy middleweight, nobody now would think of him as being in the same class as Ruby Robert was, yet Hall was a strong favorite in the Cres- cent City contest. The wish that Hall would win was father to the thought, for Fitz was decidedly in bad with the American fans. while his fellow Australian was very popular, The Fitz-Han affair ushered in the era of extravagant purses, for the competi- tion for the bout was so keen that the Crescent Athletic Club hung up
 $40 900, to be divided $35,o00 to the winner and $5,000 to the loser. The result of this bout added vastly to the wealth of California, for the Col den state fans backed Fitz to a man and covered every offering of the dead
 game ones from the other sections who put their kaIe on Hall. The first round was even, the second was Halls and after that it was all Fitz until he landed the punch which brought joy tc a few and gloom to many.

 although Jess was still awkward and
 slow he showed considerable improve ment over the form he had displayed
 in his first bout with Louis Fink at Sapulpa, which he lost on a foul, In the three weeks that intervened be- tween his first and second bouts, Jess 1 did a lot of thinking and training. The ! Fl Reno sports didn't expect much
 from the coWpuncher, and they were somewhat surprised when Jess land |! ed a clean knockout in the third chap i ter. Having demonstrated that he had i a punch, Jess was anxious for another ] whackat Fink, his first antagonist, ] and a match was made. The fight was staged in Oklahoma City about the end
 of March 1911, and he gave Louis a drubbing, ending the fight with a left ! iab in the third round.

Ping BOdie Becomes
 Member Of Yankees
! Miller Huggins Buys George Burns From Tigers and Trades Him to Connie Mack for "Fence Buster"

Negw ork, ,EMarch S-Ping Bodie- the man who once meant almost as nuchsto Chicago as Three Fingered | Brown or Ed Walsh-is a Yankee. HeAis going to fence-bust-'em for { Miller Hugins at the Polo Grounds GhiSsseason- He leaves the Athletics Wtthsa-. light heart and comes to the ! Tanks prepared to do great things. Perhaps he will come through in i great. shape. But with the memory 1 of a 1914 'f1ivver'' with the White l Sox in his mind Higgins is waiting. ! He wants to see whether Ping will ] "come, back as Speaker or a Jack ! son for him, or whether he will be- ! come a Yankee gold brick of the Magee and Gedeon variety.
 Ping, whose real name is Frank S., comes to the Yankees by round- about way. To get him. Higgins had to buy George Burns, the Detroit Tigers handy first baseman, outright, No price was given out. When Burns , had been secured he was turned over to Connie Mack, who wants first baseman very badly to round out the 1918 Athletics. In return for Burns Mack gave Ping Bodie.
 It is variously reported that Hug gins tried to get Walker instead O.
 Bodie, and that he tried to get Walker
 together with Bodie. At any rate
 Mack decided that he wished to keeI
 Walker, and so the deal went througl
 for Bodie alone.
 Ping can hit 'em hard. He battet .291 last season for 14S games anG walloped 2S doubles, Il triples anC seven home runs. Frank Baker hat 24 doubles, two triples and si7 honers. WaIIy Pipp had nine circuit clouts. It looks as though the Tank! could hold an old home run weel most any ine this season.
 But the Ping Bodie critics say tha the .291 average with the Athletic was tamassed from the offerings of th' second string pitchers of the othe b clubs and isn't a true index of wha @he can do against real first clas s.twirIing. Nobody pitched good mel kagainst the Athletics, they say, an' they yTeferryourto Ping'srecord of .22

.zbyszkO and Ed Lewis Are
 Again to Meet Upon Mat
Powerful Pole Wants to Get Revenge for Being Thrown
 By Headock-Says He Has New Defense

New York, March S-Wladek zbyszko and Ed "Strangler'' Lewis were matched yesterday to meet in a wrestling bout in Madison Square Garden on Tuesday, March 19.
 They met in the offices of Curley and Meyer and no time was wasted in agreeing to terms. It was specif- cally provided that the head-lock will not be barred.
 Ever since Lewis beat Zbyszko by the use of the head-lock in a tourna- ment at the Lexington theatre sever al weeks ago this hold has been open to much discussion. It was barred when Zbyszko turned the tables on Lewis in the final match of the same tournament and the latter has declar- criminated against.
 He had some ground for the charge, too, as the hold was not bar red when Zbyszko met Olin and Stecher recently.
 Now, however, Lewis will have his chance with his favorite hold and the fans are sure to turn out in goodly numbers to see the two men battle to a finish, or rather for two hours with a referees decision at the end if neither gains a fall in that time.
 Zbyszko said yesterday after the articles had been signed:
 I'm heartily sick of all this talk about discrimination and I'll prove to Lewis that have devised a defense for this hold of which he makes so much that will make it harmless. I'm glad the bout has been arranged

Jimmy Page was the first man to whip John L. Sullivan, but the rec ords are silent. They credit James J. Corbett with that lone distinc- ton.
 Jimmy Page was headmaster of the Dwight School, Springfield street, Boston, Mass, and one of his twelve year-o1d mischief-makers was one John L. Sullivan. One day, after the young mans teacher could no longer endure Sullivan's idleness and tricki- ness, he sent for Jimmy Page, long a hero in Boston's school circles.
 "Step up here, young man." said Jimmy to John L. Now you're go- ing to learn better manners
 And John L. stepped up and, with out a whimper, took his rat-tannins in front of the whole class.
 But the records don't say a word about this first defeat of John L. Sul- livan.

JOHN GULLY WAS MUCH IGNORED
 IN ENGLAND

Of the few pugilistic champions lines of endeavor after quitting the ring, John Gully was perhaps the most conspicuous and brilliant. He became a member of the British Par iament-the only pugilist to hold a seat in that body. Only one other fighter has ever attained so exalted Q position as a lawmaker, and that was John Morrissey, who was cham pion of America in the sos, and after ward made a fortune on the turf and was elected to the United States Con- gress.
 Tomorrow will be the 55th anni- Versary of the death of John Gully, at the age of 80, full of years and houors. He had won the championship of England, and in after life twice cap- tured the classic Derby with his horses. and sat in Parliament two ses- sions. As a mine owner he amassed a fortune of several millions. When he died on March g, 1863, an immense concourse of people followed the coffin to its last resting place.
 Gully's career was full of romance. He was the son of a publican, and in his youth supported his mother by working as a butcher. Becoming in- volved in debt, he left Bristol and went to London, where he was thrown into the Marshalsea prison for debt DTS. He was rescued by Henry Pearce, who was the champion of England in 1895. Soon after his re- lease Gully fought his friend Pearce in the ring, and was defeated after a memorable battle. In 1907 Gully be- came champion by whipping Bob Gregson, who he defeated once more in the following year.
 After that Gully retired from the ring and became a bookmaker. He made large sums on the turf and in vested his winnings in mining land, which, proving very valuable, made him a millionaire. He then bought some of the greatest race horses of that period. He won the Derby in 1S46, the Oaks in the same year, and the Derby again in 1854. In 1862 he was elected to Parliament from Pontefract. He was twice married and had 12 children. About 10 years | before his death Gully sold his stud
 and retired to Corking Hall, near Durham where he lived the life of a
 country gentleman.
