When he beat Charley McKeever At
the Madison Square Garden q eounIe
OF years ago. he disposed of a man
who had entered the professional ring
from the amateur ranks full of hope
I'm sorry, Charley" said Bob, com
ing over to him after the fight.
When he was forced to meet his
old bunkie in France, Ted Jameson
Of Milwaukee, Bob first tried to get
out of the match, Jameson having
been substituted for another fighter.
This failing. Bob, who knew he wa.
the better man, hung back until the
referee threatened to throw him out
Of the ring and bring charges against
him that might lead to the loss of his
license.
Wept on Victims Shoulder.
So Bob had to give his old pal
beating. In the dressing room, later,
he wept on Ted's shoulder.
That Is the sort OF lad young Bob
is. Professionally he is as fine a
boxer as they come, but to date, he
has not shown his fathers punching
ability. Whether this is due to kind
ness OF heart, or what it is. he has
got to bring the wallop into play If
he wants to get ahead and of late he
has begun to do this. 1t really looks
as though the fighter is going to pre-
sent a real hefty punch for the con-
sideration of the sporting world be-
fore long.
Just now his future engagements
show that his hackers, chiefly Hughey
Garland, are ready to shoot him up
into big company. Floyd johnson has
got over the beating given him by
Jack Renault and probably will go
against Fitz. Then Fitz has agreed
to meet Young Stribling at Macon,
Ga, on Labor day.
Fitz told the writer today that he
doesn't figure he is taking any
chances of unfair treatment by box
ing in Striblings home State And
neither is he. Anything he can pro-
duce on its merits will be accepted
and IL Stribling beats him. it will be
because of William Lawrences ability
and nothing else.
P1tz on Trail OF Gibbons.
Cleveland sporting men are looking
forward to this fight with lot of
eagerness. because IL Fitzsimmons
comes through in good style. he prob
ably will sign an agreement to box
Tommy Gibbons in the Ohio city.
The Gibbons battle is the aim of
Young Fits career. Some may think
this will be hurrying him some, but
not when it is stated that FitZ has
been aiming for a bout with the St
Paul artist for more than two years.
And then Tunney-a tall program, but
FitZ means business.
With FiFpo's deportation case post
poned for hearing until after he has
met Wills, nothing else has arisen
that theatens to postpone the battle.
Seats are going fairly fast, but not
with rush. There is, however. every
sign that when the two meet In the
will be at least an 100000 gate and
shrewd boxing men are betting that
the receipts will aggregate a million
dollars.
Firpo. of course. is the real drawing
card He has color and while Wills
has color, too, Firpo's is of the sort
that draws to a ringside those who
ordinarily wouldn't give 80 cents to
see a prize fight.

MILAN AIDED RIGNEY
TO BECOME HITTER

Discussing minor incidents that
may lead to important happenings in
base ball, Ty Cobb recalled the time
in Washington. a couple years ago.
when Milan was manager of the Ma
tionals and objected to the umpires
about the bat Topper" Rigney was
using. Milan said the bat was illegal
because it was studded with heavy
steel nails. The umpires upheld Mi
lan's protest, and Rigney was ordered
to discard the bat.
Rigney went back to the bench,
selected another one, returned to the
plate and hit safely. Then, for the
next eight times that Rigney batted
he hit safely. This run of nine sue
cessive hits gave Rigney such conf
dence in himself that he finished the
season "a 300 batsman. Rigney might
never have become one OF the best hit
ting shortstops in the game If Milaa
had not objected to his bat and COM
PEELED him to use one that he selected
at random. This taught Rigney that
it was not the bat but his ability to
use bat that got him hits.
