admitted that he had agreed TO quit.

the victory was on the square.
Han was Immensely popular at that
time and was a heavy fayorite among
the New Orleans sports Fitz was

there was a great deal of prejudice

Jim the favorite. Charley Mitchell.

the English heavyweight and Jack
McAuliffe were great admirers Of
Hall, and helped him in his training
and were his seconds at the ringside-
The New Orleans promoters offered
$4,000 for the fight. which estab-
hshed q record When Han climbed
into the ring. he was given a ire
mendous ovation, while Fitz only got
a scattering volley of cheers. which
came mainly from the California
sports who had gathered in the Cres-
cent City TO bet their total available
assets on the freckled fellow. The
Golden States admirers of Fitzsim
mons came in for lot Of jeering and
il was freely predicted that they
would have 10 walk home. but this
did not dampen their enthusiasm for
Bob.
Both Hail and Fitz weighed in at
about I65 pounds ringside. Both
looked to be in good condition. From
the first It was evident that Hall had
steam in his punches. Bot men set
a furious pace and before the second
round was over, Hall began to tire
Jim stalled through the third round.
and in the fourth he was stretched
for the count The Californians who
had backed Bob had to hire wheel
barrows to cart off their winnings.
