y few years makes a vast different
in the essentials necessary to the fight
ing game. The agility and the power
to stand punishment is not there, and
so ii is safe to say that he was but a
small part of the Fitzsimmons OF ear
lier days.
Another obstacle against perfect
condition was that he had forsakcn the
smithy for the glare Of the footlights
and the applause of the audicn nee. for
he was a popular favorito at that time.
He missed the rugged exercise of the
blacksmith, and his habits were not
conducive to strength and stamina and
this was against him.
And so he went down to defeat. But
the account he gave OF himself will
not be foygotten by Jeffries so long as
Jim lives. 1t was in keeping with
his past prowess. The ability of the
fighter still remained. He could hit
often enough but not hard enough: 1t
was beyond the powers of any pugi-
list 10 put Jeffries out when Fitz
fought him. The Cornishman evident
ly had this in mind and was playing
inc same tactics as those which do
feated Mahcr. He battered that splcn-
did specimen of manhood to ribbons.
Jeffrics has told the story himself For
ten rounds Fitz fought him with all
tho cunning and ability he possessed.
he fought that human punching bag
with all the marvellous fighting tao
tics of which he was master. and they
went in to tho eleventh round of the
battle. 1t was a cross counter that
Fitz misjudGcd. and like Mercutio's
wound 1t was enough. He fought with
all his old time cunning and skill but
without the usual power behind the
blow. And so for the first time in his
ring career he was honestly and
truthfully counted out.
The old war dog fought several bat
ties after that. and they were bu,
feeble attempts. With varied success he
filled vaudeville dates. until his death.
