Peter Maher Came Near Beating
Bob FitzSimmOns in First Bout

Bob Fltzsimmons frankly ac-
knowledged that one OF the hard
est nuts he ever had to crack was
Peter Maher, and Bob ought TO
have known. for he met the Irish
man In the ring on three oc-
casions. The last Fitzslmmons-
Maher battle was pulled off in
Mexico, opposite Langtry, Texas,
% years ago today, February a.
1896. and Fitz was the victor AFT
er one minute and thirty-fiNe.
seconds of fighting. That wasn't
much OF battle, but In the first
meeting between the men Maher
showed almost championship
calibre. and Bob, admitted on sew
eral occasions that he was nearer
defeat that day In 1892. than any
OF tho spectators realized. One
OF the peculiar things about
Maher was that when he was
knocked out his eyes always
stayed wide open, and that rHade
many fans believe that he was
laying down" The very fact
that he didn't close his eyes was
proof that Msher wasn't taking
unconsciousness,
Billy Madden was responsible
for introducing Maher to the pro-
fessional puglistic arena. AT the

time Madden discovered him.
Maher was amateur mlddlewelght
champion OF Ireland and amateur
heavyweight champion OF Great
Britain. Madden decided that the
Irish boy was good enough to pit
against the lanky Australian. and
induced him to come to America.
The men met in New Orleans In
March, 1892, before crowd OF
1000 enthusiastic fans. Bob land
ed only one good blow In the first
round, and Peter retallated in the
second, landing blow that made
Fitz see stars. In the third. and
fourth rounds Bob set the pace,
but Maher came back strong In
the nth, and Rob was saved from
severe punishment only by the
bell. Honors were about even,
with Fitz having the shade. until
the tenth. when two hard ones
made Bob realize that he was up
against the real thing. After that
II was all F'itz. and In the twelfth
Madden threw up the sponge. AIT

resounding kiss. and the curtain
went down with the two men
