ATHLETIC NEWS

ID OB Fitzsimmons knocked out AS Abe CongIe in the second round at Chicago on this date in 1891. This was Bob's introduction to the fans of the western metropolis, and 1t proved to their satisfaction that the frecllIed fellow was all that the San Francisco and New Orleans sports had said he was. Abe was a big, powerful fighter, and, in ap- pearance, he completely outcIassed the Australian. Many Windy City fans believed that. Abe would re- venge ''Nonpareil'' Jack Dempsey, who had been knocked out by Bob in New Orleans a few months before but their hopes were in vain. Like most of Bobs victims, Abe landed the first blow, and throughout the first round he looked a winner.
 In the second chapter Bob landed his famous wallop flush on the jaw of his big opponent, and it was taps for Able, without the bugle playing. It was a clean knockout and when Abe finally came to he recided that he had had enough of the fight game. Bob didn't fight in Chicago again until 1893, when he knocked out Phil Mayo, a colored boxer, also in the second round. In 1899 Fitz again visitc the Windy City and disposed of Jim Thorne, an English middleweight, in less than a round. ID ALTIMORE witnessed it's first ,1D Eastern League game sixteen years ago tomorrow, April 29, 1903. The Maryland metropolis broke in to organized baseball in 1882 with a club in the American Association, organized as a rival of the National League In 1884 the Union Associa- tion, also organized to fight the old major league placed a team in Bait imore, but the circuit did not last through the season.
 After the Players League battle, Baltimore was admitted to the Ma tional League, which was enlarged to twelve clubs. In 1894, 1895, and 1896 the worId-famous Orioles of Baltimore, considered among the greatest of baseball machines in the history of the game, captured the national league pennant. In 1899 Baltimore and three other clubs were dropped by the National, and in 1901 Ban Johnson placed an American League club in Baltimore. In 1903 New York took the Balti more franchise in the American League, and the Maryland city had to be content with minor league ball as a member of the Eastern, later the International League. Once since then, in 1908, Baltimore captured the pennant.
