sports wheel Good little man was Fitzsimmons By no HARPER Chay Here is Haymaker of History for those sports fans who like to go back in time and read about the great athletes and eventsof the past Old Bob Fitzsimmons gave GUs Ruhlin 30 pounds iii weight an age advantage of 11 years or more and royal trouncing before he knocked the Akron giant cold in the sixth round of their historic heavyweight title botit at the old Gardens in New York oti Aug 10 1900 Favored at 10 to in the early wagering Fitz was little better than even money when the ringsiders saw his 29 year old rival towering over im and outweighiiig him by 195 lbs to no as they listened to referee Charley White Twelve thousand customers paid 333000 to see that classic and the majority of the coatless perspiring and fairwaying fans held Huhlin the sentimental if not the wagering favorite But the overgrown underdevelotxxd gawky schoolboy that was Fitz had won them over to his side before administering the lethal punch that ended the tight at 10 of the sixth round Tom Sliarkey describing it for the world the next day called it the fastest heavyweight fight ever st aged and yet for the lack of science the worst Neither fighter stopped pimching long enough to attempt any skillful moves 1n the very first round the gigantic Bulilin had Fitz on the defensive et one punch lauded by Fitz in that round probably decidtd the fight in his favor It was teirific righthander that left red mark just over Ruhlinsheait Blood liegaii to flow in the second and thereafter both col lected fresh scars with each round lvice Huhlin was down for counts of nine once the bell saved him and once lim torbett rushed to ringside and pleaded with him to get up He did just in llllt But twice Huhlin had Fitz in serious trouble on the ropes his as too weary however to land finishing blow Staggering at the end of the fifth rotmd Huhlin was pursued by destroying demon in the sixth Fitz hit him with stagger ing left to the neck and Huhlin went down for an eight count This set Gus up for the sleepproducing left Uppercut that came moment later There was no need for oount Huhlin was out cold and it took two minutes to bring him around Here is the blow by blow account of the sudden yet not unex pected finish in that stxth round Fit itshed in with left swing and Huhlin clinched right to the mouth made ltuhlin very groggy again Hulilin ducked terrific right Fill kept boring in Huhlin blocked left to the body and another right smashing left sent his rteling and quivering against the ropes Fitzsimmons followed fiis man around the ring and missed threetinies before left to the jaw knocked ltuhlin to the floor He was up at eight and staggered toward his opponent Fit swung another left to the neck that put Huhlin off balance and then crashed home left uppercut to the point of the jaw ius fell flat on fiis face dead to the world and out for keeps FiIZsiininons lliultl was held high in victory He had shown the world that size and weight were not always the winning factor And that good little man could beat an inferior big man Central teams add to streak By SIEV lI EFL TORONTU Bairie entral senior and junior rugby
