Fitzsimmons the suspicious man who lost his fortune
A survey of Robert Fitzsimmons shows him a cautious but easily cheated fighter turned financier. Promoters and sharpers drained his earnings from boxing, stage work, and investments, leaving him with little of the $250000 he earned. The piece also notes Harvard football tensions and college sport reforms.

He claims 6,000 dollars in gems, 11,000 dollars in cash, and real estate may be involved and that Fitzsimmons once turned cash over to his wife.
