who have been dscrying Jim Corbett's puRi-
hstic ability ! great aurpriss party. Jim
Oorbstt u far from being the man thnt Sui
livan's enthusiastic admirers say he IL.
While ! do not for = moment underssti-
mate the wonderful prowsas Of the cham
pion pugilist, / believe shat hs will face the
w0rthisst rival he ever had when hs
stsps into the ring q the olympic
club In New Orleans on the night Of
Sept. z. Since Dr.. 6hrady gave John L.
Sullivan ! thorough going over and pro-
nouncsd him perfect both In hsalth and
muscular Development ! good many people
havs bsen plying Corbstt. snd the impress
sion that he will DO easily defeated has be-
como quite general in the midst Of men
who are entirely too hAsty ia jumping q
conclusions. Whom ! say that Sullivan will
have the the hardest fight Of his life with
Jim Cosbett / mean that hs will have to
be not only 40 strong and powerful with
his right and left hands - he was
the best day he ever saw, but he will have
to be much oisvsrer than he ever was I n his
life in order to win. I have seen . good
dsal Of John i. Sullivan In my time. and
no man has watched hin career with greater
interest than I have. Beyond = doubt hs
il a remarkable man. and Il will be 4 dih8.

Corbett means TO iehs Sullivan and
