SQUARED RING HISTORY
Took Jeffries Only Eleven Rounds
to Knock Heavy Crown from
F1tzsimmons' Head, Where 1t
Rested Two Years.
CHAPTER VI.

Only a little more than two years
were given to Bob FitzSimmonS in
which to enjoy the glamour and the
gold that occampany heavyweight
champion. The honor was knocked
from his shoulders by James j. JEFF
fries on June 9, 1899, at Coney Island.
Jeffries had graduated from a boiler
making establishment in the roped
square with two rugged fists that
pounded FitZsimmonS into submission
in eleven rounds and which enabled
the new champion to stick at the
years.
The challenger of Fitzsimmons
came from California and was expect
ed to sail into the champion with
the zest and abandon then considered
a universal tribute of westerners. But
until his ire was aroused, whereupon
he would create a thunderbolt with
one of his fists.
The first of these titanic wallops
was uncorked by the Californian in
the second round. 1t landed on FitZ-
simmons's jaw and Iitzsimmons land
ed on the floor. He was up and doing
hirlwind attack.
The Californian was the bigger man
and accepted all the punishment. that
the champion could inflict. Fitzsim-
mons became weary from his, inces-
santa, tho ineffective efforts and in the
tenth Jeffries knocked him to the
floor twice.
In the next round the Californian
landed a tipping drive over the cham
pion's heart and followed it thru with
rights and lefts to the jaw. These
blows dazed Fitzsimmons and Jeffries
a crushing right hand blow to the
chin

nauseated 1 couldn't keep my food

what I ate, as heavy foods hurt me
terribly, and the way I suffered finally
got my nerves in bad condition. I got

Jack and Georges, Who Are to
Meet Fistically July 2.

Atlantic City, June 9.-Sparring partners
in Jack Dempseys training camp Will be
compelled to wear headgears when boxing
is resumed, to lessen the danger of reopen
ing the wound over the champions left eye,
which was split open last Sunday when
Larry Williams butted him trying to eyade
a punch. Since then Dempsey has done
no work with the gloves. Jack Kearns,
manager of the title holder, said today
that Dempsey would resume boxing Satur-
day. provided the wound continues to heal
rapidly; new skin has formed over the
cash and the stitches taken in it have been
removed. Dempsey wears no dressing over
the injury. He spends great deal of time
exposing it to the sun to hasten its heal

Manhasset, June 9.-FoIks here about,
who would like to view Georges Carpen-
tier going thru his PAGES during his Sc
cret training session but can't. have ex-
pressed the opinion that the challenger Is
fooling the public. They believe he has
more up his sleeve than he is willing to
let the world in general know about, and
that his somewhat Estless attitude when
boxing for newspaper men Is but a ruse
to conceal his real powers. While the
French champion is not always hstless
before the critics, he has thus far refused
to effectively demonstrate just how he is
going to conduct his offensive campaign
when he enters the ring with Dempsey.
from all Indications Carpenter will con-
tinue to let the public wonder Just how
many tricks he brought in his little bag
from Paris.
There is no doubt that the debonair
prize fighter has race track full of
speed. for he occasionally seems to forget
himself when the newspaper men are
watching him, and displays a few of the
traits that have made him famous.
During his secret sessions however. 1t
is known that Carpenter takes his work
more seriously. Just what he does, how
ever, Descamps said, is Georges own bust

that, despite the somewhat unsym-

the opinion that Lord Kitchener
was the right man in the right
place. The questions that were
put to him on that occasion were
not numerous, and the answers
were such as to dissipate once and
for all the false notion that Kitch-
ener had failed to grasp the mag
nitude of his task and the intri-
cacies of the problem he was en-
gagged in solving.
Unfortunately, no soon had he
succeeded in re-establishing his
reputation than the end came.
When people talk of the tragedy

speaking, but this, l think, is the
real tragedy-that he died at the
moment when his reputation had
been cleared of the misconceptions
about his work under which 1t la

There will be the same number OF

No changes will be made in the

tinued along the same lines as
previously, he states.
Major General Wright believes
that the army's new policy to-
ward college education for the
young army officer is proving to
be strong influence in raising
the morale of the army. At the
time it was decided that an op-
portunity would be given to the
young army officers to attend the

the opinion of the army was that

do more for the student Officers
than the actual courses of study.

Mad Modes In
Autumn Styles
Startle Paree

Paris, Nov. II Paris is wearing

to redress and restyle herself com
pletely at least four times year.
It is the autumn redressing that
she enters into with the greatest
zest.
The first violets have appeared
in the streets. and so It pleases
madame to dress almost exclusive
iy in violet. Cyclamen mauve ton
ing to purple. amethyst. fuchsia

ors madame is wearing.
Her clothes must be amusing,
too. She would rather have anus
ing clothes than any others. That
is why monkey fur is still so pop
ular. 1t is amusing, or it would
never have been tolerated. But 1t
has been i'm for two or more
seasons.
So the little god who sees to
madame's amusements casts
around for fresh diversions and
produces the "Aunt Jane" hand
bag.
Paris has gone made over Aunt

English Fond
Of Top Game
OF Americans

New York, Nov. 12.-Although
the gentle indoor pastime known
as AFRICAN dominoes" never did
go very well in that dear London
another American game of chance
has invaded Whitechapel and Pic
cadily. This is the comparatively
new American game of put and
take, and American sailors re-
turning from England declare
that "Takin' is the thing they
are fondest of over there"
Albert La Toy, of the Cunard
liner Berengaria, said the shillings
and pounds are changing hands
in greater number with the top
than ever passed over the gallop-
ing dice. The top has also made
its appearance in Paris, according
to La Toy, and the putters and
takers are important factors IN
the night life of the gay French
capital.
Somehow, when ! play put
and take, over there, that darned
top can't say anything but Put
said La Troy" The English never
did quite fancy shooting craps
They never could learn the slang
of the game.
"The top got the boys dizzy
around Southampton and Liver
pool. Pretty soon the shops go'
them. and now everybody, ricf
and poor, are slaves to the whirl'
gambling device.
lone reason the English like
the top is because the player does
not have to do any talking. The
top does that. All you do is lister
and smile-or weep"
