III B N BRIDGEWATER.


The dazzling speed and remark
able clcvernoss Of Jock Malone. the
s.. Paul middleweight championship
contender, proved entirely too much
tor Young Fitzsimmons of Okla
4 homa city. and Malone won all the
way In their l2-round bout at Con-
4 yention han last night. Malone
jabbed and punched Fitz's anatomy
from the waist up In every minute
OF every round. and ducked and
skipped and shifted with such skill
ayi speed that the Oklahoman rarely
q cAlid find him. Though the crowd
naturally was anxious for the home
state youuFstcr to win, not voice
Of protest was heard when Referee
A Ged Gahan hoisted Mdlone's hand
awarding him the decision as the
. gong ended the twelfth round.
l, was Just good boxer against
much better one. II was not Fitz's
poor work that let Malone win, but
Jocks decidedly brilliant work.
No stain ON FitZ's Record.
Being doglsively beaten by Malone,
however, is no stain at all on the
Il Oklahoma City Youngsters record.
y for hls couqueror probably cannot
4 be whipped by any middlewcight In
"A the game today. with the possible
n exception OF Mike Gibbons. his old
mentor and fellow Mlnnesotan. As
. matter Of fact, F'it1 is to be con-
graduated upon showing as well as
h he did against an opponent Of Ma
lones caiiber.
Only one thing marred Fitz's per-
formance, an inclination to hang on

showing in the eighth. ninth and
tenth.
A Good Lesson for EitE.
Nate Jackson, former bantam
H champion Of the southwest ana now
manager OF Young Fit2, accepted
II the defeat sf his protege at the
hands OF Malone with a smile.
"Malones just too smart--too
much experience for F1tz," said
n Nate. This was just what Fitz
needed. It's a great lesson for him.
II He has been handicapped by hav-
n ing no one TO work with who could
teach him anything. Myself--I'm
IA too little. There's no one at Okla
homa City 70 give him any pointers.

4sSllt Of the licking he got tonight.
N Why II you noticed II, he even

mighty quick to pick up anything
Nate had IL right. Fitz did show
better In the later innings. After
losing the first two an holding Ma
lone even IN the third he was boxed
4 OF his feet up to the ninth. He
stopped countless blows with body
and head, and Jared even worse
. N the infighting than at the long

Hz Distressed In Last Round,
FitZ finally Jared a little better in

"A I(Aer stage II was an even round,
he also had things even in the

renewed the offensive and won 1t by
Il good margin.
"a Ihe twelfth round was the only
IA one IN which Fitz seemed in dis
u Iess Malone's lightning like at

contenied himself with hanging on
"a every opportunity, with Malone
gong after him like a tiger.
