attired In a frock coat of the period, his
eternal plug hat-for he always wears a tile

him fight Dempsey and posted myself on his
style. He Is my eqnal almost In height and
reach. though after carefully comparing his
method of boxing with mine, L can't see
where he has any advantage over me, as
am younger, stronger and shlftier, hit often
and mix my blows more. FitZsimmons
is foIy-he has cute enough to feign groggi-

his opponents of their guard. He can't fool
me by working the groggy dodge. l will
take no chances with him. / think L can
whip him within fifteen rounds. After my
