"LANKY BOB" LOSES FIGHT WITH REAPER!

Giant Battleplanes to Cross Atlantic

Former Pugilist Succumbs to Penumonia at Chicago Hospital; Makes Game Scrap for Life.

CHICAGO, Oct. 22. Robert Fitzsimmons former champion heavyweight pugilist of the world, died at a hospital here early today after an Illness of five days of pneumonia. The former ohampion was taken sick last Tuesday while appearing In a vaudeville theatre and his ailment was at first diagnosed as ptomaine poisoning. Later, it was discovered that he was suffering from double (lobar pneumonia and physicians declared that he could not live. His remarkable vitality sustained him until Saturday when he lapsed into unconsciousness from which he did not rally except at rare intervals. During the five days of his illness, Fitzsimmons was the recipient of many messages from men whom he had formerly met In the ring, including James J. Corbett from whom he won the championship, and James J. Jeffries, who took the title from him. Other pugilists and followers of the sport sent telegrams to the fighter and his wife, expressing hope of a speedy recovery. Prolongs His Life. Fitzsimmons, until he sank into hia final stupor, fought for his life as he had fought for victory in the ring. Physicians declared life was prolonged several days by the grim determination of the man. .' Mrs. Fitzsimmons, who wa3 with her husband during his illness, puffered a nervous breakdown last Thursday and for a time it was believed her condition was dangerous, but she soon recovered and resumed her vigil at. hit bedside.

"Bob was a great fighter and a good !

husband," said Mrs. Fitzsimmons. "lie worked hard on the theatrical circuit and I believe the exposure between the acts and the drifts which blew through the winks caused his illness." Robert, Jr., son of the dead pugilist, is expected to arrive here from New York today. "Fighting Bob" lived up to his nick-

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22. Giant bat- tion of the transporati3n problems

Jessup was laid up In the third quarter with an Injured nose. Miami, on the other hand, did not lose a man through Injury, and the game was nothing more than a practice scrimmage for the Ohio team. In the second half, Miami scrubs took the places of the regulars, but the Quaker defense was shattered and the change in the line-up made little difference. Munns and McVay Star. Aside from the general Miami attack, the work of Munns and McVay was the shining feature of the game. Miami made 13 touchdowns and did not miss a kick for goal. The score was the largest piled up by any winning team in the country last Saturday. The score: Miami (91). Earlham (0). H. Sexton Left end Bookout Stoll Left tackle..

name, and ring reputation almost to the end. He refused to admit defeat even after physicians had given up hope. Fitzsimmons always was referred to as an Australian because it was there that he started his ring career, but he was born in Helsten, Cornwall, England, June 4, 1S62. His parents, however, .soon moved to New Zealand. Started As Blacksmith. Fitzsimmons starled work in his father's blacksmith shop and at the age of IS gained fame for his dexterity in swinging a heavy hammer and fashioning of horseshoes It was said he could shape two while others made one. Naturally athletic, Fitzsimmons engaged in all kinds of sports. Before taking up boxing, he was a hammer thrower and long distance runner. His Fpeed and endurance were so marvelous that he was given to hunting kangaroos afoot. The former champion's ring career began as the winner of a lightweight competition promoted by Jem Mace, at Timaru, N. Z., in 1S80. Ho defeated four men. knocking out three of them, and thus became the amateur champion of the country. The next year he defended his honors, defeating five opponents in one night. Fitzsimmons continued at the forge for the next six" or seven years, but was always ready to fight. After fighting three battles with Jim Hall, then regarded as the middleweight champion of Australia. Fitzsimmons came to America in 1890. He was one of the lightest men to win the heavyweight championship. He rari-ly weighed more than lfi5 pound when in condition and gave away as much as fifty pounds to some opponents. Fizsimmons won the world's heavyweight title March 17, 1897, when he defeated James J. Corbett in the fourteenth round of their memorable battle at Carson City, Nev. He stopped Corbett with his famous solar plexus punch, of which he was the originator. For two years Fitzsimmons clung to the honor, losing it to James J. Jeffries.

tleplanes will soon make their first

trial flight across the Atlantic and there is little doubt in the minds of aerial authorities that trans-Atlantic flights are to be a usual feature of the war. It had been planned that the great Italian Caproni triplane would make the first trip, but the excellent records of the new Liberty motor, declared by Secretary Baker to be the greatest single achievement of the war, have recommended its use in this great undertaking. Every plan to make the trial a complete success has been made. The hydro-airplane type of

Ohio team's line, made it impossible for the Quakers to do any real big work. The Quakers line was outweighed at least ten pounds to the man, and especially was this true on the left side, where Sauer, the Miami "steam-roller" plowed through the Quaker line at will and broke up almost every play attempted by the Earlham back field. Sauer weighed in at 240 pounds and he was invincible , against Jitts, Johnson and Bookout. j Lack of generalship was also noticeable in the Quaker machine. After the initial kickoff and touchdown, which came in about three minutes, the Quaker eleven was demoralized and it was next to impossible for them to gain ground. The only big legiti-
