YOUNG FITZ NOT

NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-Back in his
palmy days old Bob Fitzsimmons used
to bawl out his boy, Young Bob, be
cause he wouldn't fight in the ring. The
shades of old Bob must have been do
ing the same thing last night because
he did got into the ring. True, Young
Fitz scored a technical knockout over
Eddie West, Newark heavyweight, over
In Jersey City, but West got so tired
waiting for something that he quit with
a few seconds 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 a huge
disappointment.
Bob is a novice. 1t was only his sec
ond fight. In appearance he is a chip
off the old block, but that's all. Young
Fitz looks exactly like his father. He
has trim. thin legs of length and can
use them almost as fast as a light
weight. He has good shoulders and a
fine pair of arms. but he doesn't know
the first rudiment of handling them.
His offense resembles more the style
Of a football runners stiff arm than
the sleep producing punch of n knock
out king. In practically every round be
fore West, with his face tattered, 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
it and didn't have the punch to finish
him.

NEW YORK. Jan. 27.-Barl Caddock
will depend on the head scissors and
perfect physical condition for a victory
over Joe Stecher when they meet at
Madison Square garden next Friday
night for the worlds heavyweight
wrestling championship.
"Stecher is a great wrestler and a
heavier man than | am" said Caddock
prior to his departure for Great Neck,
L. l., to finish training, but l believe
l will beat him. 1t is nearly three years
since Stecher and 1 met. l won that
match when Stecher refused to come out
for the third fall after We each had
taken one. He was ~through-he had had
enough.
NOT EXPECTING
EASY MATCH.
II think it was physical condition that
counted most in THAT match ana l De
lieve endurance will Zoe a big factor IN
the match next Friday. l am not ex-
pecting an easy match or a quick vic
tory. This match will be for one fall
only and l don't expect to a k any
chances, such as a wrestler might II the
match called for the best two out or
three. l don't suppose he will take any
But when / once get the head scissors
on him l hin it will win for me. Tnat
is my f~avorite hold"
Caddock said he nevert felt better
and he looked the part.
Blase New York still has its doubts
about any mat bout being worth $4,000,
but the fact is that Caddock and Stechcr
are guaranteed hat sum. And in add
ton some film company has paid SoO,O0O
for the film rights of this match. 1t Is
evident that wrestling has come back to
it's own again. 1t has been elevated to
it's former respected position on sporting
programs after 4 spell of disrepute
brought on by crooked promoters. Jack
CurIey is chiefly responsible for the re
Mobilization. The Caddock-Stecher match
which he is promoting is of true cham
pionship favor.
TWO BEST IN
THE COUNTRY.
Caddock and Stecher are unquestiona-
bly, the two best heavyweight catch-as-
~catch-can wrestlers in the country.
Caddock is champion and Stecher his
most dangerous rival.
The match on Friday will definitely
settle the question as to who the better
mar is. 1t is a one-fall contest to a fin
ish. even if it takes forty-eight hours to
decide it. Both wrestlers say they are in
fine fettle and ready for a lively tum-
ble-to.
Interest in the match is becoming
more fervid each day all over the coun-
try. A big crowd from the rival states
Of Nebraska and Iowa, former the home
of Stecher, the latter the home of Cad
dock, is expected in New York this week.
