lsck spoke freely to reporter.
WThere fs no gainsaying the fact" he said,
sfbaf Fitzgimmons is a phenomenal man.
,,nst say that no man ] stood before hit me so
ef,ep and he is one of the hardest punchers that
I ever met Fitzsimmons is not nearly such
n uugainly man as ] expected to see. His
hresdth OF shoulders is something tremendous,
md therefore gives his loins rather a lighter
. snrearance than they would otherwise have.
MS legs, too, that so much has been said about,
ere folly as big as mine, though good deal
louger, and they are stout enough to carry him
10 victory as long as he continues in the middle
weight class"

North This morning jacks attention was
called to large picture OF Jim Hall, the new
Australian middieweight, who is coming to this
country on the steamer Alameda, which arrives
next week. Jack studied Halls shape and pose
for some minutes, and then remarked: "He has
length, legs and reach, but he hasn't got Fitz
simmons shoulders.
Il may be that Dempsey has noticed in the
manner of some of his old friends. who have
met him since the fight, certain tinge OF com
