eral,bip. All said Dempsey was out


Phil Lynch SAYS Fitzsimmons can whip
a dozen heayy-weights he knows Demp-
sew is as good in his class as ever, and
Lynch is willing to bet 5000 tomorrow on
him against La Blanche.
Major Mclaughlin, president OF the
California Athletic Club, said: Ever
since / saw Fitzsimmons fight with Nc
Carthy have been certain he could lick
Dempsey Ny only surprise IS that he
did not do it in fewer rounds"
Billy Edwards said: '.Fitzsimmons is
the cleverest middle-weight | ever saw.
Jack was not in it. Jack fought gamely,
and was well handled, but he was no
match for the game Australian"
Tommy Warren said: 81 lost money on
Dempsey and am willing TO lose again
against any other man but FitZsimmons.
Jack was splendidly seconded and had a
shade the best of it all through, but
he was outclassed. / don't know
of any middle-weight in the world who
can go against Fitzsimmons. Jimmy Car
roll, of Brooklyn, might give him good
fight, but perhaps he is too heavy. Fitz-
simmons is, sure enough, a wonder"
Frank Stevenson, kilrain's hacker, said !:
dempsey made a game night, and was at
his best. Fitzsimmons was clearly the
better man, and overmatched Jack. Fitz-
simmons is the best man of the class, and
know any one that can whip him."
Jake kilrain said: "F1tZsimmons IS
truly a wonder. He is as clever as they
make them, and his hitting power is i'm
mense. There was never q middle-weight
like him. Talk about his legs, why, there
is not weak spot about Them
William Muldoon. the wrestler. before
me is the Best man. that
is on Fitzsimmons Ny sympathy is all
with Dempsey After the light. Muldoon
said: II never dreamed he was such a
man. He is whirlwind, terrific hitter,
a two-handed fighter and great general.
| never saw as fair a fighter in my
life. He should have been awarded the
fight two rounds before. The referee is a
fair man. If he had not been scrupulously
careful he could have awarded the fight a
round at least sooner. 1t is great pity
that Fitz did not win in ten rounds, as
there was great deal of money UP on his
doing so.'
Billy Meyer said he was amazed at Fitz-
simmons cleverness, although he had his
money on him.
Macon, the sporting authority, said he
felt terribly disappointed. He had been a
Dempsey man, but after the second round
saw Jack was not in it.

ity, who came out boldly when the match
was made and p edicted Fitzsimmons
He said very few heavy-weights
the fight was over, Fitzsinlmons
was as full OF fun as colt. He spared
with Carroll and tapped him on the nose
playfully. He spoke highly of Dempsey.
as a good game nghter. Jimmy Carroll
also had good word for the fight Demp-
sew made.
Phil Lynch, one of Sullivan's hackers in
the Sullivan-Kilrain fight, said: II lost
heavily on Dempsey but think as much
will bet 5000 on him tomorrow
against LaBlanche. He was outclassed
tonight. Fitzsimmons is a wonder and
can whip dozen heavy-weights l know.
knew Dempsey was as good as ever he
was, but he could not reach his man. I
had no idea Fitzsimmons was as good as
he is. He can whip them ALL"
CHICAGO, Jan. H.-Inter Oceans special /:
A sporting man at New Orleans sum-
marizes the fight briefly thus: From the
beginning until the end Fitzsim-
had tifty-one victories in his
belt, with one lone defeat. Dempsey
at no time was contestant; he could put
up absolutely no defense. Fitzsimmons
out-fought him at every turn, made 90 per
cent. of all the leads, and was struck but
half dozen times in the entire bat
tie, and then with such weak
efforts that not mark was
to be seen on him half an hour after leav-
ing the ring. In height, reach, force of
blows, stiffness and science. this new star
in the tstic heavens was as far above the
Nonpareii as 1t is possible for fighter
