THE BOSTON HERALD THURSDAY, MARCH 9, 1893 ROBERT FITZSIMMONS vs JAMES HALL

ONE ON THE JAW Fitz Finished Hall in the Fourth Round. It Was a Crushing, Knock-Out Blow. Hall Was Unconscious for Many Minutes. No One Expected Such a Turn. Fitzsimmons Fought Better Than Ever Before, While the Other Made a Very Poor Showing. The Result Was Hardly in Doubt at Any Time. Most of the Northern Men Lost in the Result. A $25,000 Crowd to Offset a $40,000 Purse

Hall seemed the more confident of the two. He hardly looked at Fitzsimmons, but the latter eyed him eagerly, with his usual peculiar stare, his mouth half open like a child Hall gave Fitz a slight one on the neck and ran away. Bob pursued him, landing on the neck, nose and side, the last being a heavy blow - the first struck during the fight. Fitzsimmons landed again on the neck. when Hall ran, but he followed him and got in four light blows in rapid succession... Suddenly Fritz's right shot out like a piston rod. Hall was not expecting it, and it landed with a crushing force. The mass of bone and muscle caught Hall on the point of his jaw. The blow was heard in the remotest part of the ring. Hall quivered after receiving the blow. He fell Backwards like a log, his head striking the cork floor with a resounding thud.
