Son Of FltzsImmons Scores Technical
Knockout Over Eddie West,
Newark Heavyweight, IN

NEW YORK, JAN 27.-Back in his
palfny days, old Bob Fitzsimnions
used to bawl out his boy, young Bob.
because he wouldn't fight IN the ring
The shades Of old Bob must have
been doing the same thing last night,
because he did go into tha ling.
True, young Fitz scored n technical
knockout over Eddie West, Newark
heavyweight, over in Jersey City, but
West got 80 tired waiting for some
thing that he had coming in one
round that he quit with few sec.
onds to go in the seventh round.
In a preliminary, young Fitz would
have gone big, but in the headline
bout Of an all-star card he was huge
disappointment.
Bob is a novice. IT was only his
second fight. In appearance he is "A
chip off the old block, but that's all
He has leagues to cover before he
becomes able to carry the flag OF
the family
Young Fitz looks exactly like his
father, the former champion. He has
trim, thin legs OF length, and can use
them almost as fast az lightweight
He has good shoulders and fine
pair OF arms, but he doesn't know
the first rudiment Of handbag them
His offensive resembles more the
style Of football runners stiff arm
than the sleep-producing punch OF a
knockout king. In practically every
round before West, with his face tat
tered, his eyes swollen and blinded,
gave up and walked to his corner,
Fitz had him within an inch of being
out, but he didn't know 1t and didn't
have the punch to finish him.

was called la grippe or Russian
