my countryman win every time. I don't
think in THE present championship con-
test. however, that Champion CorLett has

pueilistio critics seem TO think he has by
any means. lsitz Is the most dangerous
man Corbett has gone up against by long
odds. lie II exceptionally strong Tor a
man OF his weight. cunning, shlfty. speedy,
clever and one OF the stiifost punohsrs
that ever stepped into ring. Corbett's
superior heighth will avail him but little.
as INitz has the longer reach. FitE. too.

| teen pounds lighter than Corbett when
