Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1892-06-19

me implies that, In his estimation, Choyn-
ski Is . better man than Oorbett, because
when $4,000 are at stake FitE il not the
man to let it 20 by default if he has q
chance to get It It 10 likely that Fitzsim-
mons prefers to face man like Corbett TO .
man like Choynski because of their differ
ent styles of fighting If in front
Of Choynski, the Australian would not be
allowed . seconds rest, while Corbett's is
similar to that of Fituimmons, and he,
Corbett, 10 not the punisher that Ohoynskt
Fitxsimmons Is acting inoonsistently by re-
fusing to meet Choynsh and offering to
meet Corbett If the latter defeats Sullivan;
but nobody can compel the Australian to
fight above 158 pounds, and when he goes
beyond that he has . perfect right to suit
himself, But If Corbett defeats Sullivan It
would be pretty safe to bet that he would
also defeat Ftzsimmona
There 10 man who wants to fight Fitz-
simmons at 158 pounds and he is Ed Smith.
He made draw with Choynski not long
ago, and that ought to be sufficient guar
antes Of his worth to meet Fitzsimmons
when the latter won't meet Choynski I
am strongly of opinion that Smith would
give Fitzsimmons good fight; in fact, Smith
made an excellent stand against jackson for
i've rounds. Smith assures me that he
thinks he can defeat Fitxsimmons and Is
willing to fight him, the winner to take all
and the loser nothing. That surely is fair
enough, and it shows that Smith does not
want to make any money simply on the
reputation of Fitzsimmons The matter ID
worthy the attention Of the Olympic Club
another Great disappointment.
The Olympic club will have to select
somebody to meet Fitzsimmons if the third
fight for the September week is to be a 60.
aud Smith is just as likely an opponent as
anybody. There were hopes of Pritchard or
OBrien coming here, but since the fight be-
tween these two Englishmen has been de-
clared of there is no likelihood Of their
coming for some time. O'Brien was over
taken BY "!iokness," another way of stating
compelled to forfeit about $1,000. Pritchard,
according to arrangements, IL to fight Jim
Hall and if these two men fight, the public
will then have some kind of an idea as to
what kind of . man Hall ID He is under
one Of the best tutors In the world to-day
Charley Mitchell, and If he can do anything
at all Mitchell will tell him the best way to
do It.
President Noel, Of the Olympic Club, is
confident that he will secure man for Fitz-
simmons to tackle during what il termed the
dig week. The proposed contests between
Jack McAuliffe and Myer and between Sui
livan and Corbett are going along all right.
and they are likely to take place. Middle
weights Of the Fitzsimmons class are not
plentiful, and 1t will be difficult to satisfy
Fitzsimmons about middleweight. Could
Pritchard be induced to come over, con-
test between him and the Australian would
certainly be IN attractive ono.
Corbett Is now In active training for his
proposed fight, and 1t is safe to say that he
and his party mean to fight During the
last few. days there were one or two suspi-
cious features, but they have disappeared
and really believe that Corbett is as anx-
ious for the contest - Sullivan. True, it is
q long way off yet, and it may be that both
Corbett and Sullivan will have much trouble
in training during the warm weather. In
this Corbett should have much the best of
it, as he is in much the better condition to
start with. PR1NGLE
