WORLD'S HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONS. Written Exclusively For the Whig By a Boxing Enthusiast No. 8.~--Bob Fitzsimmons. Who has not heard of the Fitzim- mons' Shift? This shift, which en- abled Bob Fitzimmons to beat Jim Corbett and win the World's Heavy- Weight championship, was figst in- troduced to the public when Fitz. fought Corbett, and no boxer since that tfme has succeeded in perfect- ing the blow to such a degres as. the Cornishman. The originator of the shift, Bob ons, was born in Corawall, Bogland, on June 4th, 1862, and began boxing in Australia, where dis family had moved when he was but a child. The way Fits worked his shift was as follows: he would feint with the left for tie face, then swing the right leg In front and at the same time feint with the right for the Jaw, almost instan- "ously crashing in a terrific left. iq Jab to the pit of the stomach. %...5 punch, while it does not make the receiver lose consciousness, is very painful. The "Freckled Wonder" held 'ires World Titles during the 23 ®ars {n the ring, a record which no other boxer of this or any other age can equal. Most boxing fans can re- member the great fight Mits, fought for possession of the middleweight title In 1891, in which he whipped Jack Dempsey and broke the gal- lant Noapereil's heart, so that he died at the early age of thirty-two, Among Fitzsimmons' many victims were Jim Hall, Dan Creedon, Peter Maher, Gus Rublin.and Tom Shark- ey. h F3sb lost the heavyweight title to Jim Jeffries in 1897, but it was Father Time as much as Jeffries that beat him. In 1902 he again lost to Jeff., although in boxing ekill Fitz. was far ahead of his con- queror. "Ruddy Bob" had a peculiar build for a prizefighter, being knock-kneed and flatfooted. His long powerful arms and sturdy shoulders made him look like 4 big heavyweight, but from the waist down he was built lke a lightweight. Fitz. was § feet 11% inches tall and weighed 176 pounds when in fighting cond: tion. (Tomorrow--James J. Jeffries.) , ------ JACK DEMPSEY, - But yes, my good Gottlieb, you were right the first time.

Pittsburgh 4, New York 5. St. Louis 3, Philadelphia 5. (Only two games scheduled.) American. (No games). HOW THEY STAND. ' By defeating Pittsburgh In their three-game series, the Glants sur- mounted the greatest obstacle bar- ring their way to a fourth straight pennant and definitelly ' eliminated the Pirates, from the race. With three. games to go against the low- ly Philadelphia Club, the Giants have a lead of one and one-half ! games over Brooklyn ,the latter club | having two games still to play with | the Boston Braves. Thus, the Mc- ; Grawmen can lose one game and | still win out; they can lose two games and still tie Brooklyn if the | Robins win both theirs, and it seems beyond all probability that the Phil- lies. can take three from the lead- ers even if Frisch and Grob are out | of the line-up. yNo games were played in the Am- erican League yesterday, and Wash- ington opens a four-game series to- day against the Boston Red Sox joint holders of the cellar berth with Chi- cago, while the Yankees stat a four-game series with the fast-climb- ing Philadelphia Athletics. Two games up, Washington clings tenac- fously to the corner of the flag now in their grasp. Two leading clubs in each race and the number of games each has to play: National, To Won. Lost. P.C.
