think Bob's best chances OF Winning ,,o
IN an attempt on Corbetts part 10 force
the nshting, but can not believe he
would run any such risk by displaying
unuue haste In the early stages of the
mil. In u long drawn out battle Jim has
no equal and there is surely too much nj
stake FOR him to favor any plan OF hattie
but the one which promises him The
greatest measure OF success.
AS to courage, ! imagine there isn't
much to choose between the two nnvbo,r
1t is pretty hard to determine to VINE,
extent such men as these two are game
Their stoutheartedness can only he
guessed at, as they have always been loo
shifty to get within range of the man
they have beaten. Each possess cons,tn.
mate confidence. born OF hard earned vic.
tories In the ring. which is everything in
a glove mill. "
1 think Bob a phenomenal fighter. He
certainly has no equal on earth al his
weight, and there is no fear Of the plddl.
weight belt going to any one else as long
as Fits remains In that division. lie has
further proved that there is nothing In
THIS or any other country, outside of
corbett, that has any license to lower his
colors; but for the reasons given above
think Bob has nothing better than n
9 to chance of winning, provided always
that Corbett makes the best use of the
talents at his command, but II Jim. on
the other hand endeavors to make as
short work OF Boh US he did of Charley
Mitchell, would wager as much money
as ! could raise, taking the long end at
to i, that the long. lanky and freclSled
Antpodean would whip. Soc II 1t don't
go that way.
John l.. Sullivan. think Corbett will
beat F'ltz In about fourteen rounds. He
IL much cleverer aud understands the
game thoroughly. II Corbett mixes IL
with Bob he is very liable to defeat.

man IN the world l want to know who IL.
Frank Slavin: Corbett Will win in ten

Jim Williams, the Salt Lake neavy
weight--I think Corbett will have plenty
OF time to beat Fltz in fifteen rounds; lie

OF the two; the betting should be about

years ago fought Dooney Harris, says
