With a telegram stuck 1> neath Ills
bolt which road : "Haby is (load : n?
money ; coitio home." Jack Robinson,
i Chicago middleweight pugilist,
ought the fight of his life a few
days ago before the Wayne Athletic
club, I'hiL.dolphia.
The match was between Robinson
and Mlcki'y McDonough, of Itrook
lyn.
On the day of the fight the above
telegram reached the fighter. He
ictoi'uiiiicd to return to Chicago at
nc<'. Hut he was penniless. Robin
son had pinched and saved preparing
:or the go at the Wayne club. He
lecided to fight and so wired his
friends at Chicago.
His message reached the Shamrock
Uhlctic club. State and -iird streets.
? ve got to fight McDonough now ."
it read. Take care of the girl till I
come."
W nen Robinson entered the ring in
t'hiladolphia in his mind's iye was
the picture of a little homo on the
A' est Side, a wife in tears, lonely and
sorrow-stricken, and the dead birt>y.
Robinson fought for money that
night, and not for love of the game.
The baby must be burled, he must
have funds enough to doff the gloves
for a time and stay at his wife's side.
A brief telegram filed by a Phila
delphia sporting editor, descriptive
of the fight, read:
"McDonough was supposed to be
more than a match for Robinson, but
the Chicago man drove a furious
light from start to finish. He never
let up for an instant, and at the fin
ish had everything Ills own way."
Only a few knew of the strange in
spiration that gave him almost super
human strength. At the ringside men
may hav'e thought the strange glow
in Robinson's eyes to be the fire of a
maddened brute. None understood
; ?> hen lie took punishment that at
jotlier times would have sent him
trembling and tottering to his corner.
It may be that in the heat of those
ten terrible rounds the fighter deter
mined to give up the game after that
ba 'se. Hut win that fight he had to.
A woman he loved needed his care.
That victory would help him rare for
her.
With will power which drove his
leait to the breaking point, he called
evcy ounce of strength into play,
lie fought to win; to win for tile
sake ?
"Kight, nine, ten!" * McDonough
was counted out.
"No man ever fought a harder bat
tle," said William Hogan, a director
of 'he Shamrock club and a former
trainer of Robinson's. "K any fighter
ever loved his home Jack did. He
would die for the girl or the baby at
mo drop of the hat.
"But he's been having a run of
hard luck lately. He had to have the
money. He knew McDonough was a
hard proposition, but the thoughts of
his baby being dead and the girl back
there alone waiting for him made him
desperate.
"Jack may give up the fighting
j "arne now. He's the sort of fellow
who would always remember lie
niplu ho fought and him set-in.- no'
ing but the baby and his wife'- crying
eyes. That might queer him i- she
future.
"He's got a purse now. though. If
ever a man deserved it he did. riier
are few fellows who could go through
what ho did."
Robinson got his early training In
