Sportsmen throughout the country
appear to be astonished at the victory l
recently achieved over George DIXON,
the featherweight champion OF the
world.
/ can honestly say that the result,
gratifying as it was, did not astonlsn
your humble servant q little bit. NOT
that / am In any way afflicted WITH
that disease known as the swelled head,
or have an under appreciation OF my
own powers, but had made study OF
Dixon and knew to anicety just ABOUT
what he could do AS the boys say,
was on to all his curves and had very
fair idea how to meet them. Indeed, l
have been studying Dixon ever since L
came TO this country two years ago.
and had taken bis measure just as ac-
curately as Jim Corbett had that OF the
great John L. Sullivan before their
memorable battle at New Orleans.
| had tried several times before my
late meeting with Dixon to get on
match with him, but we could never
agree on the question OF weight he Is
a Iatherweight and am bantam. He
usually fights al one hundred and
eighteen pounds and at one hundred
and ten. To insure the recent contest
was compelled TO give away weight aud
agree to box the colored prodigy at one
hundred and eighteen pounds. 0fcourse

fighting weight for this engagement.
7 wished TO come as close to Dixon's
heft as l could and yet be neither
fat nor slow. l simply hardened my
flesh by exercise judiciously taken
and cultivated quick action both
as to hands and feet by punching
light rubber bag and jumping the rope.
The reason for this is obvious. The
bout was limited to four rounds and fast
fighting was sure to come the moment

eastern and western halves would be q
difficult TASK. Therefore It is very
probable that Denver, though q COOS

son OF Its geographical situation.
The circuit Is bouhd to be an extern
sive one anyhow, reaching from Toledo
TO Kansas City and maybe to Denver,
and from indianapolis to Minneapolis.
1t would make an expensive circuit on
account Of the amount OF travel neces-
sary to carry out schedule. But q
shorter circuit would not be remunera-
tive in point Of population from which

however. whether Detroit. after some
years experience 10 the National

deeds are still remembered and cher

The Eastern league, as well as the New

OF these organizations will lose money,

There will be very little base ball

Is some chance OF the organization OF a
