JACK O'BRIEN DEFEATS BOB
FI1ZSIMMONS
Philadelphia Pugi'ist Gets Victory Over
Famous Ex Champion Who is Game to
The Last? Nature Plays Out
[Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan.)
San Frducisco, Dec. 21 ? ^tthe end of
the thirteenth lound Bub Fitzsimmons
collapsed in h's chair and one of the
greatest tights in the history of pugel
istn was awarded to Philadelphia Jac-t
O'Brien last night.
Old Fitz was game to the]l. st,' surren
dering only when nature had givm out
and he had relapsed into unconciousness
Fitz had been severely pounded from
the second round and near the end of
the l.'tth round O'Brien landed a vicious
right on his stomach. As the ancient
gladiator sat down he said to referee
Graney, "ne got me in the stomach and
I'm all in. With that his head fell for
ward on his chest, his legs weakened
and he slipped from bis chair, falling
limp and unconscious to xhe Hour. 1
Hemorrhages started with the first!
signs of departing consiousness. Do>
tors were called and Fitz was rivived
with difficulty and carried to his
quarters.
Fitz admitted his defeat and offered
no explanations except to say, "It's no
use. I'm all in.- Thai's all." f
While the fight was O'Brien's from
the begincing Fitz.simmons had the
sympathy of the crowd. O'Brien
fought rapidly and effectively but
cautiously and when he ducked and ran
from Fitz'a rushes he was hissed and
jeered. O'Brien refut ed to mix things.
He krot dodging in and out showing
wonderful foot worV and sparring
ability coupled wiih the capacity
to land terrible blows. Fitz'
! swings frequently foind nothing but
? empty air. Several times he nearly
fell through the ropes frcm the force of
j misspent blows. ,
I Fitz fought hard but nature defeat
ed him. H? coulda'i stand the strain. I
As he saw, as often he did, the victory j
going to his clever opponent he pulled
himself together with sheer force of ^
will power and grit and redoubled bis I
efforts to win. He was puinshed se
verely. His face, especial'y, was cut
up from the terrific blows of his antag- j
onist, but he was always coming back
and was fitrcer than ever when O'Brien
landed the stomach punch in the thir
teenth round. Fitz had struck O'br en
a similar blow vrhen the Philadelphia^ i
countered with a left to the stomach
and light left to the jaw. The gong
sent Fitz to his cot-Ler where he col
lapsed. There was nothing to indicate '
his condition as Fitz walked steadily to
his chair, where he suddenly gave way.
