-In-
j anility to hit the ball cost Fort Worth
; the second game of the series this after-
noon and she has no fault to find with
anything else for the loss. On two dif-
ferent occasions A hit would have caused
trouble but the hit was not forthcom-
; Ins;. The lone run for the home team
was a home run by Kane. Hub Northen
.also hit over right field fence for a
homer.
Houston scored her second run In the
'sixth when Bell doubled after Kane had
erred on Newnam's grounder. For his
two-base hit Bell may get a $60 check
'for hU drive would have hit the bull had
the animal been complete. A recent
. windstorm tore down at least half of the
animal and the ball passed through the
gap.
Roy Mitchell reported today. Rose of
Houston is recovering from his sick spell
nd will be ready by Saturday.

Baseball Gossip
That old hoodoo "Inability to cost
the Panthers another game yesterday.
Malloy is evidently rounding into some
kind of shape as he made six assists
yesterday.
In th Southweet league Bay City has
a lead of 200 points and is playing a
vry classy game.
SrowJisville lost three straight to Bay
City In the series and by so doing drops
further down to the cellar lead. (
Bush Is still umpiring games In the
Texas league although he sent his res-
ignation to President Allen last Sunday
night.
Two games won out of two played
looks pretty good. Do It some more.
Buffaloes and make a clean sweep of
the series.
Houston played another perfect fielding
game yesterday not an error being re-
corded against them during the entire
nine Innings.
Platxer formerly of Houston Is play-
ing a very steady game for Bay City.
He won his game yesterday shutting out
the Brownies.
There they go again! Pat Newnam
and Scudder Bell each slamming out
two-baggers! Wonder If these boys never
get tired of it?
Frank Donnelly's Sandorabr evidently
dia not like the rsin of the day before
for they proved easy picking for the
dlana of. "Doc" Andrews' band i yester-
day. Good news from the front . In the fact
that Roy Mitchell haa reported to Cap-
tain Hill and also that Charlie Rose is
convalescing from his annoying attack of
tOnsiiltia. .
' Oklahoma City slipped into fourth place
yesterday by defeating Galveston while
Ban Antonio bv losing to the Giants
to; a little slide down the ladder Into
flfli position .
Burch Is playing a nice game on the
road. Yesterday he got two hits out of
four trips to the pan; five putouts and
five assists. Pretty good for a man with
a wrenched ankle.
Great big merit marks will be In order
for Hunter Hill if he can bring his team
home in the lead. He la still 60 points
. to the good over Dallas and Just now
the Giants are playing great ball.
Dalley and Hamilton are making them-
selves heard from in every game. Tea-

Things will not be .quite as bad as they
seemed a day or so ago for with Roy
Mitchell. "Cy" Watson and "Pep" Horns-
by on the firing line Houston will mit
be so badly off In the matter of pitch-
ers.
Something awful must have happened
at Shreveport yesterday whe nthe Navi-
gators shut out the Pirates on their own
grounds. Must have been mutiny in the
Pirate crew; but if such was the case It
will only be a passing memory for Cap-
tain Dale Gear besides being a good fel-
low. Is a mighty good manager and will
have his cutlass well sharpened for to-
day's conflict.
PIRATES WALKED THE PLANK.
The Whitewash Brush Was Cleverly
Wielded by the Navigators.
(Houston Post S pedal. )
SHREVEPORT. La.. May 5. In one of
those unhappy games that come out all
wrong for the local club Waco carried
the Pirates down the toboggan to the
tune of 3 to 0. It was a gim that right-
fully belonged to the visitors. Inasmuch
as the only earned run made during the
afternoon was scored by them. It was
hard digging for Pitcher Tesreau to lose
for under ordinary circumstances with
things breaking even he should have
won the earnest. It is hard for twlrls-r
to lose a three-hit game but it Is no dis-
credit to him. Tesreau pitched good oa.!
but errorB coming as they did in the
second and third put him on the losing
-L.end of the game.

Dow Noses Sherman Out
Although both teams In the Dow-Sherman
game made errors yet at no time
was there a disposition on the part of
the players to give up the fight and it
was only In the last part of the seventh
that Dow knew the game was theirs
when Wilkinson came home breaking the
tie. Stopple of Dow was working In his
best form of the season. He had plenty
of speed and his control was good. This
is the first complete game that Ward of
Sherman has pitched and his work was
a source of pleasure to his teammates.

HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF
CHAPTER XLV.
Fitisimmons Has His Second Chanoe
Bob FltxsUnmons did some great fight-
ing after losing the championship to me.
Just before the end of the llorton law
In New Yerki State Fits knocked out Gus
Ruhlin In six rounds and Tom Sharkej
In two. The fights were only two weeks
apart.
I was in the East at that time and
Fitisimmons challenged me. lie wanted
to fight on the last night of the Horton
law. . . ;
I refused of course because I'd have to
go Into the ring untrained. I never
fought yet Without training hard and
I never will. Any fighter owes that
much to his friends. I wouldn't fight a
dub without training. When thousands of
friends all over the country bet ub every
fight I'm In I think they have a right to
know I'm In shape.
In any case Fltzsimmont wasn't the
kind of a man to go up against without
training.
I told Bob he could have his ciianre
soon enough and a little later on we
made a match to fight In San Franeleco
on July 26. 1902. Bob kept up light train-
ing at his horns In BciiKonlmrst with
Gus Ruhlin as hU sparring partner and
when the time came to start for the coast
he was In great shape tie came to Cali-
fornia feeling sure 0f beating me. Fits
was one of the most confident men In
tho world. : i
I trained at Harbin Bprlngs for that
fight and got Into way' good condition.
The bout was held at Alec Gragsjalns'
San Francisco Athletic club at PevatMntb
and Valenoia atreets. A lot of my Ixs
Angeles friends came up to bet on sa.
I guess they brought up at least 340.01
or 360000. George Miller got down 85000
at the regular odds which were 10 to 4
In. my . favor. "Chalk" Roberts prought
$10000. Jim Hayes the proprietor of Har-
bin Springs put txm on roe. Lots of
the other boys got down smaller sums.
There was a big crowd at the ring-
side that night; the mayor of 8sn Fran-
cisco all the supervisors and police com-
missioners and big politicians a lot of
capitalists end business men.
Kttzsimmone was introduced first and
had a great reception. He was always
well liked In San Francisco where ha
fought his first fight after coming to
America from Australia. Bob looked In
as good shape as when he foueht me at
Coney Island. He didn't even look a day
older although he was 39 now.
His hands were bandaged and mine
were not. I walked across the ring to
examine his tape. It looked heavy but
I let it go-without objecting. A challenge
from Jim Corbett was read and the crowd
cheered 1 was glad to hear the challenge
taken so well for the heavyweight crop
was running out and there didn't seem-
to be many more fights In sight for me.
At half-past 10 we were readv to be-
gin the fight. While I stood waiting In
my corner Bob Jumped around and tested
the floor. It was a brand new ring plat-
form for the club house was a tem-
porary affair put up specially for that
tight. I should have tried the ring plat-
form myself a few days before the fight.
Now before this fight began I had been
thinking of Fltsslmmons as an old fellow
and I felt a little ashamed to fight him
again. According to all precedent a man
8 years old haa no business In the ring.
But Fltsslmmons didn't fit in with ordi-
nary rules. '
As soon as we began fighting I went
after Bob steadily. We were' both a little
cautious at first. I sent a good hard left
Into his body and he took H. all right
Before the end of the first round he had
begun landing on my head and my nose
was bleeding a little.
I had found out something too. The
new ring platform was too lightly built.
Fitisimmons could skip about on it like
a Frisco flea.' but whenever I moved
quickly the hoards bent under me. It
was .like trying to dance around on a
springboard. It made my footing uncer-

tain and awkward and took away half
my speed.
From that time on I went after Fiti-
simmons deliberately. During the next
round or two I landed several hard
smashes In his body but he took them
well and pounded at mv face. In the
j third round he had my nose bleeding
paniy ana naa openea a Dig cut on my
right cheek bone and another over the
right eye. Fltsslmmons was chopping
me to pieces and was getting hurt very
little In return. I was worried. Now
and then I got In a heavy smash but
the lanky fellow took them all with a
grin and countered with blows as hard
as he got.
In my crouching position the "give"
of the ring platform affected my foot-
ing so much that I tried standing
straight up. Fltsslmmons mixed It with
me and -we both got In some stiff
punches. The way the old fellow could
hit was a wonder. He was hammering
my face in. The blows were as heavy
as any I ever felt. The jar didn't dase
me. but I had never been so cut and
bruised in a fight before. Fitisimmons
was a wonderful fighting boxer.
Along In the fifth round I managed
to get over a left hook that cut Bob
along the cheek bone but a moment
later he stepped In with a terrible right
that landed squarely on mv left eve
and nearly knocked my head off. The

THE WORLD
that time and went at Fltsslmmons with
a rush. He skipped out of my way and
laughed as he moved around. I kept
turning to face him like a bull In a hull
ring and every time he seemed within
reach I rushed him again. Once I cor-
nered him on the ropes but he slipped
sway and as he went hy me he landed a
couple of hooks that made the blood run
again. I -couldn't get him. He- surely
was a slippery fellow.
"You've got to do It soon" 'said De-
laney again.
With my rata all closed up and the
Mood washed oft I went out after Bob
again as hard as I could go. All of my
Injuries were on the surface. Inside I
was as sound and fresh as ever. I
wouldn't think any worse of Fltsslm-
mons If he had shown discouragement
about this time. He had beaten me
enough to knock out any ordinary man.
I knew his right hand was gone for
once when he landed a heavy smash on
my forehead I could hear the bones
crack and although he went right on
hitting with It there wasn't the same
weight in the blows. He was Jabbing
more and depending on the left. Flts-
slmmons had a great left. I think tt
was his best hand. He usually landed
knockouts with the left.
In this the seventh round I went after
Bob hard and swung my left Into his
body then brought it up to his head.
The punches were well meant but Flts-
slmmons took them and came right back
with three hard left hooks on the mouth
that started me bleeding again and
forced mo to the ropes. I rushed and
chased Fltx across the ring punching
him over the heart. As we came Into a
clinch. Boh grinned and asked "Well
how do you Illce It?"
"Pults me all right" I said. "You're
Pretty good for nn old fellow."
From that on I punched at Bob's body
and he .labbed and hooked with the left.
All the time the crowd was cheering like
mad. Fits looked like a winner for he
was almost unmarked while I must have
been a sight. The crowd thought the
old champion was coming bnck Into the
title strain. T knew I'd win In time. I
was all right still Inside not weak or
daed or even tired. And I knew that
Fltsslmmons could not keep up such a
terrible pace for twenty rounds. In time
he must wear himself out even If I did
not bring him down with a blow. His
only chance wns to blind me entirely and
then beat me down when I eouldn t see
to Mock or get away. And even then I
might have been able to stick It out.
My eyes were nearly closed when I
enme tip for the eighth round. I went
efter Fltsslmmons steadily. Fits stood
up straight and tried with his left for
my chin. T ducked under the Mow and
sent my right to his body. I oould feel
the ribs bend. It wns a hard punch.
Fits hooked me on the face and T leaned
in with another body punch. Then we
fought hard for a minute. I could feel
that Fits was growing weaker. His blows
didn't hurt and he seemed to be tiring.
The right time had come at Inst. I stop-
ped In and swung my left for the pit of
ills stomach The glove landed a little
to one sl(le striking Just at the edge of
the right ribs and driving them In. Ftts-
slmmons straightened up and stood per-
fectly still for n moment. I knew the
Mow had paralysed his legs and he
couldn't move. "You've got me Jeff"
he gasped and Just at the same Instant
T started' the finishing blow for his Jaw.
I landed both hands before he fell. Vita
went down bard and Referee Kddle
Oraney counted him out. Fltx was try-
ing to get up and managed to rise to
his feet Just after the end of the count.
He walked to one side of the ring and
raised his hand. "The hest man won"
said Fltsslmmons. "I am satisfied."
"I'll never fight again" said Fits to
me
"You're the most dangerous man alive"
I told him "and I consider myself lucky
to havo won when I did."
