If so, what helped fen to the conclusion. ,-!".",. ; ; pit trail Tioroaa. : Friend. I must plead not -guilty. I ave been watching Fitsslmmons In ac tion for nigh on to 1 4 years. I saw Mm defeat Dempsey In New Orleans, Waner on the Rio Grande. Corbett up In the sagebrush and Sharkey at Coney Island, to say nothing of other -performances before, between and since. I ' nave no hesitation in saying that I do not consider Fitsslmmons as good as ever. I don't see how he could be un let! he underwent some such" treatment as Rider Haggard "8he" was sub jected tO. ";-- - " While the spirit of frankneas Is on rnn, I will say that I was among those J -who had doubta about Fltssimtnons' ability to stand training. I had in mind tils poor showing with Oeorge Gardner '. and I was further Influenced by the re port that he had "cracked up" at Salt ke. . .' ' . -' - ' I am not only surprised ' but puttied t the way the old fellow has come - through the - five -weeks' ordeal and I am wondering what other "shocks" he tia Itr stare for us. I have said, and X cheerfully repeat,' that .when Flta almmons warms up to a boxing bout with one of his partners, he seems aa agile and as resourceful- aa the Fits ' Hmmona of the years ago. There is . this much of, a reservation to -the state ment however. I fully recognise that aettlng to with a sparring partner la very different from being in action with ' a bona, fide opponent who la bent on hurting you or tiring you out. , v Pane Still There. ' In making a study of Fltxs physical points. I notice that while he wears his toupee and has acquired crow's feet round the eyes.' his shoulders are as hummocky - and muscular sheathed as aver. ," Peter Jackson when In his prime - bad 'grand shoulders but when he trained for Jeffries over at Crolls It wss remarked that the big knobs had flat tened down considerably and that there was lees of a suggestion of driving power about Jackson's upper works than formerly. ;, . , j, . . 5 ' In Fltzaimmons ease advancing years yiave had no diminishing effect, so fsr , as the appearance of his batteries are " concerned. Wrinkles may come and hair in ay go, but the Fltsslmmona shoulders weera to go on forever.- O'Brien may Turtner exemplify the truth of the say ing "Touth will be served,- but to me hose shoulders of Bob's are as a light house giving warning of shoals hsrd by. k fist propelled by either of those big jrpotted engines of Queensoerry warfare 4s liable to end the contest before it Jias well begun. ' To gum up. It occurs to me that . 'O'Brien is pitting his youth, his clever- Jness and his power to set and maintain . aa alszllng pace against the Fitsslmmons punch. With that one standby of the ; Cornishman eliminated the match might , .well be regarded aa an Ill-balanced one. I - ' 4 right Is Flts'e fcasV ... ' It Is now definitely' settled; Or rather ' officially announced that the coming ft Ight is to be Fitsslmmons' last In .... "view of other Fitsslmmons retirements . that did not atlck some one may smile ; at this, but Fits himself baa said It. It . ;is a change of heart on hla part, inas ,, hmuch aa before beginning to train for 'O'Brien. Bob said he would be ready for ..: "Hart after he get through with the s , Philadelphia bor. I - The Inference li that while Bob Is ; pointing proudly to the fact . that he experienced no setback while training , . 'for O'Brien, ho has no deatre to -tackle . tho ordeal again. The heart knoweth -it own bitterness and It Is more than , likely that while keeping a brave face, Bob made up his mind that the physical -. discomfort involved in undergoing t preperatlons for a world's championship fight at the age of 44 is the limit of v human endurance. ; Immediately after the contest Fits- Simmons will take to the footlights ' again, opening up at the Alhambra In "A Fight for Love.

To the Sport ing Editor of The' Journal In reference to the Multnomah-O. A, C game last Saturday I notice that several times -str' neve cast slurs on the O. A. C team, although not as sharply as your morning competitor, for quitting the field when so ordered to by their coach. and wish to call your attention to the fact. that he should be blamed for this and not the whole team. I was on ths sidelines at laat Satur day's game and have never seen such urrgentlemanly actions on the part of the members of the Multnomah men aa In this gam and have followed the sport for a few years myself. If. your reporter could have heard some of the common ta of the spectators who are strong Multnomah followers I think he would have had a little dif ferent copy to send In even if the paper la publlahed In this town. The O. A. C boys were playing on a strange field and. being visitors, should be. shown a little courtesy, but Instead got the worst of every decision, besides being subjected to some very nasty ac tions on the home team's part. On the last line-up Multnomah's left guard was offside twice before the ball was snapped. What -waa the-resultr Nothing. Please consider there are a few O. A.
