Ruddy Bob's Great
Fighting Name Is
Upheld by Eddie

Copyright. 1870. by Wheeler Syndicate. Inc. }
Young Bob Fitzsimmons may or
may not add to the glory already
invested in the name Of Fitzsim-
mons through the efforts Of his
mighty dad. But come what may
of the youngsters attempts to du-
plicate the ring exploits Of his late
parent there is a youngster in New
York who seems destined to add tn
the triumphs already accredited to
the name of Fitzsimmons.
He is Eddie Fitzsimmons, one OF
the hardest hitting light-weights in
the game today and the most formi-
dable rival for the lightweight
crown now worn by Benny Leon
ard.
Fitzsimmons like his famous
namesake relies on the power OF
his punch-an essential ingredient
in the makeup of a genuine cham
pion.
Eddie's punch has piIoted him TO
his present proud rank-the foce>
most rival of Leonard-and IL YOU
believe Dan Morgan he will soon
he the first Irish fighting cham
pion developed in Gotham sine the
days when Terrible Terry McGov-
ern swept all before him.
Fitzsimmons' latest Knockout feat
was registered at the expense of
Irish Patsy Cline. who was fat
tened in six rounds in Detroit re-
Gently.
This was quite a notable achieve
ment. for Irish Patsy is a formi-
dable foeman for anyone. Others
who have recently suffered a SINH
lar fate at Fitz's hands are Eddie
Wagond. who twice stood of Benny
Leonard. and Harry Carlson, the
rugged New Englander.

Ilace before the game and when
time arrived to start the game %
looked like they were going to be
prevented from playing on account
Of rain. But they decided 10
start. and when two and one-haIf
innings were played. there was a
cloudburst and what a scramble,
The hotel was but a block aNHy
and was located right near the bot
tom OF a large hill. They finally got
into the place, but the crowd was 50
large that the players went into the
poolrOom where they figured that
IL the rain did not cease they could
while away the hours until the
storm was over. But they never
got chance TO take down the cues.
It RaIned BouIders.
Such rain. Why" said Nick. IL
rained boulders as large as yout
head, that is, they were washed
down by the rain. and they could
find no place except to roll into that
poolroom. And water - why
thought the Ohio River was over
flowing the IowIands at home. The
large stones and rain made US jump
for safety. Chairs and tables were
the handiest things about, so ! was
one OF the first to jump the green
cloth. hardly landed up there
when a dozen more did likewise.
Nick n Hero.
Nick was a hero by this time
among the kids. His wonderful
pitching in all his games was the
talk Of all the fellows who the
pitcher was raised among. He was
sought after by every club in Bond
Hill and other spots around Cleve-
land, where Nick was born and
brought up.
from a catcher to a pitcher was
slab. But he was handicapped on
account OF not having a man who
could catch his slants. So the
members Of the club told Nick that
there was a "feller" who was a
dandy catcher and they could get
him but he hsid TO be paid. How
much" asked Altrock. Well" said
one red-haired lad. I think maybe
I can talk him into taking 10
cents" Some Of the others yelled
about being so lavish. but Nick told
them that IL the fellow was any
good at all he was worth that
much.
So the kid was authorizes to 60
get him. Il won't be lor :" was
his parting remark. He hai hardly
gone a block when he was seen to
grab hold OF someone's hand and
started on a run back to Join tn"
gang. II appears from a tip handed
out later that the catcher had been
planted nearby. 20 give his booster
