Mr.. Mitchell may also derive some
confidence from the following circum-
stance: On one occasion we met on the
bowery, In New York. Mr.. Mitchell
seemed disposed TO have iittlo amuse-
ment at my expense, which did not
feel called upon resent, for l remem-
5ered that we were not then in the ring.
and that the place that we were then
in was no place to fight.

Ings of his hands when be enters great
contest.
Corbett's muscles, on the other hand,
are of the long, flexible kind, and when
he brings his forearms up there are no
bullying knots of them between the ell
bow and the shoulder such as wrestlers,
oarsmen and professional "strong men"
are wont to have. His muscles, however,
are 50 generously distributed through
every portion OF his body that he would
be dangerous opponent at any kind OF
game where strength is required.
Mitchell is strong az various portions
OF his rugged body, but most especially
so, as l have said, in the arms ana
shoulders. he has big punches at these
points like a wrestler. These are not
very good for fighter, where ease OF
motion end flexihility are far moro es-
sential than mere strength. 1t would
not surprise me to see Mitchell become
muscIe-bound in time. =,
At three points Corbett and Mitchell
have the same measurement. They are:

advan tages, height, might, reach, speed

equally important; youth must be

of age; Mitchell thirty-two. The Cali

life, while the Briton bass been pref
ty gay boy. Necessarily his powers
must be somewhat impaired. he has

he met John L. Sullivan at Chantiliy

ute my success first of all TO an excel

After these to the fact that l have
striven to lead a regular, temperate
life, to judieiously exercise, even when
not training, and TO hard work.
What do l consider the requisites for
good fighter? In the first place, the
man must be OF good height and long
reach, strong, but not so massive and
powerful as to make him slow and cum-
sy, for Quicknsss Is essential both In
eye and movement, 1t being quite as
necessary that you should know all that
your opponent is doing or preparing TO
do as to get In good blows yourself.
The hands must of course be perfect,
although 1t is necessary that the fist
shall be big one, ii being the force be-
hind the hand that does the execution.
Fighters are born, not made, but every
fighter knows, after all, that the most
important requisite TO winner is good
training before you enter the ring.
How do feel before going into a
fight? Well, you can imagine perhaps
how a man would naturally feel when
there is $4,000 or $50, 900 up, his own
reputation and the good name OF Amer
leans as fighters at stake. Knowing
that besides these things his entire fu-
ture is dependent on the outcome Of the
contest, he would be more than human
If he did not get a bit anxious to do his
level best.
Has Mr.. Mitchell ever seen me fight?
No, don't think he ever has.
Where does he got his line on me?
Well, in the first place, he knows that
Sullivan was better man when no
fought him than when Sullivan fought
me, and Mr.. McAuliffe, who seconded
