By Joe Williams Late Charles Mathison Praises Fitz tt n tt Describes Bob’s Win Over Sharkey non He Also Outsmarted the Great Corbett

YORK, July 14.—One of the best judges of fighters in the world was Charles F. Mathison. He had perception, courage and understanding. In all the big fights of recent years he was in the officials’ chair at the ringside. This was a guarantee to the customers that everything was all right. No one ever questioned Mathison's integrity. Some days ago he died. While I was on an out of town assignment the following letter reached my desk. I am told it was the last letter he ever wrote. I feel honored to give it public display.

"■m y| Y DEAR WILLIAMS —The oldiVJ. timer who declared Bob Fitzsimmons to be the most over-rated heavyweight in ring history apparently dd not watch Fitz very closely. Or if he did. his eyesight must have been defective He says Gus Ruhlin had Fitz .close to a knockout and that the latter was balmy when he won by a k o. in the sixth round. "The facts are that Fitz left the* old Garden in good condition immediately after the fight, and Ruhlin, suffering from terrific body blows, was unable to leave the place until late the next afternoon. What is more. Ruhlin lay in the Brooklyn home of his manager, Billy Madden, for three weeks after the fight. And from then on he was of no especial value as a fighter. “If Tom Sharkey put Fitz down in the first round of their fight at Coney Island, Aug. 24. 1900, then I will have to admit I fvas not there with my nose through the ring ropes. Sharkey was scared stiff from the opening bell to the knockout in the second round when he was toppled with a straight left to the jaw. "Sharkey remembered what had happened to him at San Francisco, Dec. 2, 1896, when a fair blow above the belt dropped him—a fair blow that was called a foul by ’Two-Gun’ Wyatt Earp. He was most apprehensive of another wallop in the same region. Fitz, a great strategist, feinted at Sharkey’s midriff. The sailor lowered his guard. Bang! Over came a straight right to the jaw. Sharkey was out, deader than a mackerel. a a tt "TT is conceded that Jim Corbett l had a lead over Fitz in the sixth round at Carson City. But Fitz’s remarkable rccuperatve powers came to his aid, and that, with his generalship, helped him to win the fight and the championship. Fitz’s generalship consisted in swinging a right at Corbett’s head, and without the slightest expectation of hitting the target. What Fitz sought was the raising of Corbett’s guard. "In the fourteenth round Corbett’s guard had been raised considerably and then Fitz feinted with a right for the head. Corbett raised his guard still higher and Fitz shot a left to the pit of the stomach which brought Corbett lunging toward Fitz, head down and weak. As the champion’s head came forward, Fitz hooked him under the chin with the same left hand and Corbett was counted out by William Muidoon, the official timekeeper. Fitz was the only man to trick Corbett into an opening during all the time the Californian was at his best.”

Saints to Test Tribe Third Place at Stake in Series; Brewers Cop Finale, 4-0. By Times Special ST. PAUL, July 14.—With four victories in six starts at Milwaukee, Red Killefer’s Indians moved into St. Paul today to defend their slim third-place margin in the American Association flag race, starting with a double-header today. The fast-stepping Saints were only one percentage point back of the Hoosiers when the five-game series opened and some lively action was expected before the Indians move on to Minneapolis Monday. Two games today, one Saturday and two more on Sunday are carded against Emmett McCann’s Apostles. Garland Braxton was too much for the Killefer clan again Thursday, and the Tribesmen tumbled before his southpaw slants, 4 to 0, at Milwaukee. Six hits were all the Indians could get off Braton, and three of them were hammered out by Frank Sigafoos. Cooney got two and Bedore the other, all singles. It was the eleventh victory against two defeats for Braxton, leading pitcher of the association. He issued five passes and hit one batsman, the Tribe having runners on the paths in nearly every frame, but they couldn’t produce run-mak-ing hits. In the fourth round, Sigafoos reached third with one down, but was left, ending the Tribe’s biggest scoring threat. Again in the eighth, Sigafoos singled and went to second on Cooney’s infield tap. but Bedore ended this rally by hitting into a double play. Lefty Bolen gave the Brewers only nine hits, but also gave up five walks. Singles by Young, Metzler, Grimes and Koehler and a hit batsman accounted for three of the Milwaukee tallies in the second inning, and Buck Stanton wound up the scoring by smashing a homo run over the left field wall in the fifth stanza. The Saints announced today they had traded pitcher Lou Garland to Kansas City for Lou Fette, veteran I right-hander.

All Tire Prices May Jump Any Day—Order Now—Save Real Money. Liberal Trade-in MB Allowance for your old tires on ALLSTATE Now Allstate presents the World’s First TJNBLOWABLE TIRES!

Result of a marvelous —a patented invention £njxei£mtic C&icU—--25% to 30% More Stretch than stiffside Tires . . . (hence No “Blowout Zone”). . . yet priced under other standard balloons

Tire failure is a chief cause of fatal motor car accidents. If your treads look sound, you probably consider your tires safe. For few people realize that 95% of the ordinary blowouts occur — not through the tread— but through the sides—the “Blowout Zone.” Tire makers for years have striven to end blowouts and their dangers. They have made rubber tougher, tires heavier, cords stronger. But tires continue to blow out, due to the lack of stretch in the stiff side-walls where the tire flexes constantly. Thus at this point cords are weakened, creating a “Blowout Zone.” Sooner or later, they no longer can stand the pressure of the heated air from within, and the blows from without. When you least expect it —BANG goes the tire! Hazardous at any driving speed, at 35 miles per hour this is dangerous; and at 45, 50, or 60, is almost certain to hurl your car in the path of another, or plunge you into the ditch with tragic results. The Remedy Found! Sears now announces a patented method that conquers the blowout evil. It is building balloons of a wholly new KIND of cords —called Superlastic—having 25% to 30% more stretch than the ordinary. They make the sides of Allstate Tires “give” when they flex, instead of weaken, fray, and eventually blow out. They abolish the “Blowout Zone” that appears in stiff-side tires. They are shielded from blows by a marvelous Superlastic Shock Breaker under the tread—an intra-woven shock breaker, 20% stronger than two average under-tread plies or breaker 6trips. For some time allstates have thus been Unblowable. But the news was withheld until

Tommy Wilson, title favorite, battled George Horst, city public parks champion, and Gene Demmary, Butler ace, tacked Earl Bossong of Cincinnati in the semi-finals of the city tennis championships at Hawthorn courts this afternoon. Victors in today’s tussles will collide in the championship fray Sunday. An added attraction will be the appearance of Johnny Hennesssey, local court hero and former Davis cup performer, in an exhibition match. ' Demmary advanced to today’s action in a bitter match with Vincent Meunier, a Butler teammate, Thursday, winning 4-6, 6-4, 7-5. Meunier tired rapidly near the finish. Horst also was forced three sets to down Chic Ertle, 6-3, 3-6, 7-5. Wil-

six million miles of tests had proved the result conclusively. And in those grueling tests not one Allstate failed. Os course, any tire can be blown out eventually if driven into holes, crashed against sharp objects, or under-inflated. BUT ORDINARY CAUTION IS ALL THAT allstates require. If run under normal road conditions on 32 pounds air pressure, or more, pr even within 15% of it —they will not blow out before the tread is worn smooth. Observe merely this, and you drive with utter safety from blowouts, if you ride on ALLSTATES. Th*eir mileage is unsurpassed by any other tire built. They are far more skid-resisting than the average. And they cost you less than any other standard tire. No new car comes with Allstate Superlastic Balloons, for we do not bid for tire contracts. You must ask to have them put on, as millions have done. For every ALLSTATE user, remember, has been won from some other tire. Yet allstates have risen from sixteenth place to the largest in national retail sales. So don’t risk yourself—don’t expose your family to accident, injury, and death. Trade in your present tires today. Let the least that you do be to put new allstates on your front wheels. If a rear tire blows, you might escape. But a front tire steers your car. Don’t take a chance here. Drive to the nearest Sears store —these unblowable tires are sold only by Sears, Roebuck and Cos. Sears Guarantee If any ALLSTATE or SUPER ALLSTATE tire fails to give you the service you have a right to expect, we will repair or replace it, charging only for the proportionate wear it has delivered.
