JOE CHOYNSKI.
lie Made Good Battle Against
the Giant Goddard.

A large crowd of sports gathered on the
Folsom-street Wharf yesterday to welcome
a number of Australian pUgllists who were
expected to arrive on the steamer MariDoSa.
The only face among the passengers that
was recognized by the devOtees OF fistic
sports was that of genial Sam Fitzpatrick,
who journeyed over the Deep deep sea pur-
posely to train and handle Peter Jackson
for his fight with Jim Corbett in May.
Fitzpatrick had to do "big bit" of talk
ing to his numerous friends who shook
Sans hands freely. OF the ChOynski and
Goddard fight he said that had it not been
for a severe attack of sickness the Califor-
nian was nursing for several weeks after he
had signed articles to fight Goddard the
latter would never have won.
- 1t was the most stubborniy contested
fight for three rounds" said Fitz, i" that
ever witnessed. In the first round Goddard
was knocked down with a smashing blow
on the chin which cut to the bone, and the
sound of the gong was all that saved him.
After the fight Goddard looked as if he
had fallen against San Joaquin moving
machine. His face was cut horribly and
the cash on his chin had to be Sewed up, as
it was bleeding freely. Joe gave out in the
legs completely and | would not allow him
to stand up at the call of time for the fifth
round, although Goddard was very weak
The first round was rattler, as can be seen
by the following account taken from an Aus
traian exchange"
AS they shaped, more superb-looking
man than Goddard it would be hard to find
in the world. His enormous torso. power
full shoulders and lOins, grand arms, lean,
muscular TANKS, and strong, Wiry legs
Shone with condition. His face was set
firm, and his clear eye flashed as he sprang
TO meet his nan, shaping in wonderfully
improved style, both as to hands and feet.
ChOynSkPS condition was credit to Sam
Fitzpatrick, and he looked fit to fight for his
life.
No sooner were they together than God
dard let go the left and rushed in with the
right, but ChOynskI ran like deer, and,
turning sharply, shaped. slipped away again
as Goddard tried him, and trjpped down.
Up at once, he lodged cleverly from a
vicious right. and as Goddard rushed in he
ran and fell again trying to negotiate cor
mel at sprint pace. 1t was very suspicious
go-down to avoid. but Goddard made no
claim. and, getting him within reach, shot
very heavy left on the chest, and, rushing
in, drove ChOynski to the ropes, which he
fell through.
No sooner was he up than he clinched to
avoid, and Goddard showed him down. He
got up reused, and as Goddard missed with
the left, ChOynSki shifting Ills head, the lat
ter crossed him heavily on the ear, and as
Goddard checked, shot the left heavily on
the nose, and meeting rush timed his man
TO an inch, shooting the right from the hip
upward and across. and landed with terrific
force under the chin, cutting TO the bone and
dropping the giant heavily on the boards.
He got up before the ten seconds were
half counted and faced his man, half stunned,
and the carmine trickling over his chest.
They exchanged hard lefts on the mouth
and the bell rang.
Choynski is matched to fight Dooley in
May
