DECATUR, Ills, November I7.-James
J. CCrbett was seen in his room at the
| hotel after a hard walk this afternoon.
| When asked for his opinion about the
death of Riordan, Fitzsimmons partner,
[ he said:
~ was sorry to hear Of the accident, be-
cause such occurrences hurt boxing. 1t
makes il look as IL the sport really was
dangerous and brutal. when it is not at all.
IL knew Riordan in san Francisco and
I knew ne was weak from disease. tie
was in no condition to 60 in such an exni-
| ton. he was without life from hard drink,
and 50 when be got little tap on the jaw
| ne was knocked senseless and never came
! 70. If he had been so5or il would have
made no difference. The only thing / would
! blame FitzsjmmOns for would be for TAX
| ing such man 10 box with. a man ike
| Fizsimmons does not think how
much better a man he is than
| his partner, and he goes TO Civ
| ing his partner too hard; harder than he
can stand. l am sorry for RlOrdan and
sorry Fitzsimmons has got into trouble, but
as | said before, | know il Will be OF no
consequence and need not have any effect
on our match. If this accident delays our
match / will wait for him just as long as
/ necessary and then give him fight; or, II
anyone else wants 10 step in 10 the mean
time l am ready 70 meet him, then meet
Fitzsimmons afterwards
