right to the title of the heavyweight
championship of the wOrld-a little dis
puted by one man only-James j. Cor

because the first right hand lead L
made at him, landed on the back of his
head, WPenching my thumb. Thereafter
1 was at a disadvantage, and you may
have noticed that my right swings were
short but they were delivered with the
purpose of driving COrbett into the De
lief that the thumb was not injured.
That accounts for my missing SO many
right hand swings. I discovered at the
outset that his punishment did not af

place other than on my lips where they
bled, L would have escaped without a
Scra tch.
"Corbett talks about a return fight
and says that he will follow me from

sire to get him into the ring. 1 did not

unless I made him believe that 1 was a

Fitzsmmons is in good condition
barring the sprain of the thumb, which
is badly swollen. He drove into town
in the afternoon with his wife and left
on the night train for San Francisco
taking with him the purse of $4,000 in
drafts, which was turned over to him
by AL Smith, the stake holder.
