DID INGERsoLL LIE.-Rev. Driver has
often told of his debate with Col. Inger-
soil. Many Albany people have heard
him make the statement, and yet Mr..
Ingersoll denies it in totum in letter to
Mr.. Smith of Port Townsend. He says
81 never debated with DIR. Driver in
my life-only met him accidentally once,
that remember, and am not sure of
that once, but my secretary says he
thinks / met him once--or rather he
met me at one of my lectures some
where in Oregon. However the matter
is not worth attention." Mr.. @. P. Bush
of Salem, a reliable man, says: eyes,
it is true, heard a debate between DIR.
Driver and Robert Ingersoll and it was
this way: was present in Eugene at q
lecture delivered by Mr.. Ingersoll. At
the close of the lecture l observed Mr..
Driver with note book in hand edging
his way toward the platform. l heard
him and Mr.. Ingersoll exchange greet
lngs and when this was done Mr.. Driver
called the lecturers attention to state
ment after statement that had been
made during the course of the lecture
and they were fatty denied by the rev.
erend gentleman, the controversy wax
ing warm, and from what l heard and
know of the two men, consider Mr..
Driver fully the equal of Mr.. Ingersoll." 7"

Powerful War ENGINES.

English naval officer. "Firse, your
monitors, Merrimac and Alabama
changed in jifry all the naval de-
signs Of Europe, and later on you have
perfected a steel projectile which
seems able to penetrate any armor
that can be carried on a ship. The
l00-ton breecll-loading rifle cannon is
80 feet long, II inches bore, takes 700
pounds of powder at 4 charge, carries
a shot weighing a ton and can be
loaded, aimed and discharged by the

so simple is the machinery BY which
1t is operated. 1t should always be
remembered, however, that the effect
iveness of these enormous guns is res
duced nearly one-half in an actual bait

.CORBETT AND FITZ.
BONE FONTS ABOUT THE BIG MILL
IN TEXAS.
Fats II Knockout Hittcr-Corbett
An All-ArOund Master Ut the Defer
uive-A Parcel OF IFS" Bristlcs Up
Interestingly.

To some OF the wise men of ring
culture the proposed big champion
ship contest to be held in Dallas,
Texas, the last Of October Of this year
lin which Robert Fitzsimmons is
aspilant and James j. Corbett is hold
er OF the honor-presents a puzzling
aspect, 1t is true that lot Of people
see the outcome before the thing has
happened, but IN spite of the wiseacres
there Is a parcel OF Ifs" bristling up
In divers hooks and corners-ugly Oh
stacles which are liable to give either
man tumble In the heat and fury of
practical milling. A piece OF advice
founded, l believe, on good, common
sense, is that all sports flocking to the
Lone Star state lay enough by to get
home on, no matter which way the bet
ting pictures shape up in their heads.
But IL it is hard to pick winner,
perhaps the next best thing can be
done-viz: notice the respective fistic
fashions and tactics of the combatants
as shown in their set-tos with other
opponents, from which probably wise
prophets who are to stack on their pro-
phecies anyway, may be wiser; or hav-
ing changed and lost, may still say:
I'VE wagered the only way it could
be done scientifically; it was the
'fuke' that knocked u.s." I ought to
be in as good position as anybody to
sort out and comment on what is strik-
ing in each man knowing them both,
having seen them in more mills than
one, and having talked to and photo
graphed them in various positions with
q careful ear to their tricks and strate-
gies of war.
The great fighting points that have
been brought to the front in Fitzsim-
mons battles are unprecedented knock
out hitting, feinting and lightning,
cratic leg movement, which gives
him an appearance Of grotesqueness.
To one looking down from the gallery
his amazing swiftness in play about
24-foot ring has the appearance Of the
shadow of some gigantic lowering
bird; in a glide he looks to cover the
length Of the ring.
In the art of feinting or pretense

a striking serpent, and at any place
along the route he is good for a knock
out If the opening presents. He can
hit hard from almost any position, an
other little item which has added to
his eccentricity.
AS has been noted, Fitzsimmons is
a wonder in the way Of Knockout hit
ting, yet, if he and Corbett were to
measure their striking strength by
test, on a registering machine, it is
very probable that Corbett would
equal or out hit him, which is trifle
paradoxical to the uninitiated. Fitz-
simmons, in the ring, lets fly his pow
erful batteries at every opening, hold
ing nothing in reserve; Corbett keeps
half the force of his blow home, to
take care of himself. The first goes
in head and heels; the second goes in
only as far as he can get back safely.
Fitz deals in one-punch knock-outs;
Corbett never, unless his man has
been jabbed till he is too weak to
throw q quick and dangerous counter,
or unless he is no good, as in the case
of Charley Mitchell. This reminds
one again of the maxim before re-
ferred to-namely, that the dashing,
single-punch blow fellow not infre-
quently goes out on the same. route.
But it has been stated also, however,
that Fitzsimmons holds himself more
safely than any other fighter that ever
used such heroic methods, and that be-
cause of his marvellous feinting and
quickness.
The big Californian is student Of
safe fighting; it has been his study for
many years AS follower of scien-
tific milling, to the incest reasoning
the ring never had the equal of Cor
bett in so big man; he believes In
seeing his way, and he will not leave
his Notifications till he does.
He once said to me: "When 1 get in
the ring with an opponent am look
ing narrowly for the inside track: that
is my study. I have spent many hours
In mental planning for every contest
ever had, with the result that when
get in front of my man my itinerary
Of routes is spread in big letters. Let
my man start any way he chooses. I
like him to do the starting, always
and he is going to fall into one of the
paths already chalked out for him."
AS showing the thoroughness and
forethought Of the American cham
pion, I can relate that just before his

Corbett and SparrinE Partner O'Don-
nen. O'Donnell Shows an Eccen-
trio Blow of Fitzstmmons.
Fitzsimmons is not equalled by any
fighter in the ring. His opponents are
mixed to know what he is going to do
next, and it is from this more than
from anything else. that he is called
eccentric. He has made of feinting
such a study, has brought it to SUCH
perfection in various ways. that. in
close connection with his fierce hitting

must not have half it's force stopped
by his opponents arm; Fitz is an
adept in getting that opening and
when it occurs his crooked arm work,
his side jabs and upper cuts-are MUIR
derous
1t is the maxim of the boxing arena
that the contestant who knocks out
quickly is liable to get Knocked out
quickly, the reason being that in order
to bit with extra force, extra precau-
ton must be made for delivery-the
arms must be drawn further away
from guard position and an openness
must follow. But Fitz has come closer
to getting over this obstacle than any
other fighter employing such trip ham,
mer hits; he has not kept clear alto
gether, however, as the rap with
which Joe Choynski brought him to
the floor in Boston once, nearly win
ming from him, attests, and as the
knock out by Jim Hall in Australia
has demonstrated He has always
been superior to Hall and has whip
ned him two or three times, but in one
of their contests in the antipodes Fitz,
after having his man apparently well
in hand, was suddenly caught by his
opponent and dropped to the floor like
a log. 1t was the same thing that
Choynski came so near doing, and the
pronouncedly, have shown some pro-
gress at The saying still holds, there
fore, that a fighter fierce at knocking
out is liable to get the same medicine,
though IN the case of Fitzsimmons.
when 1t is remembered what lot of
