The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1897-02-26

1y affected by the news, although he
stated that he had been mOmentarily
expecting tidings. His mother, he said,
had been suffering from heart trouble
for months and hopes of her recovery
were given up weeks ago. He will not
go to New York to attend the funeral,
nor will FitzsimmOns leave Carson for
the East.
FitzsimmOns ran into town early this
morning, followed by his trainer Roeb-
er. in a buggy. He went to the post
office for his mail and remained in the
government building long enough to
give every photographer in town, anna
teur and professional, a chance to
reach the spot The New Zealander
has developed a marked antipathy for
cameras and in his efforts to evade the
photographers today he sustained a
fall which might have resulted serious
ly. Instead of leaving the postOffice by
the front door. he thought to outwit
the camera ffends by jumping out of a
window on the east side of the build
ing. But in trying to escape he slipped
on cake of ice and fell spraWling in
the snow. Before he could pick himself
up, the photographers were close upon
him and many pictures were secured
Bob did very little work today. 1t
was his intention to put in three hours
Of hard work this afternoon, but those
plans were abandoned at once when
the news of Mrs. Julian's death was
received.
At Corbett's quarters there was moth
ing but activity all day long. The
arrival Of George Green, who is to fight
Mysterious Billy Smith, March IS,
wins IF fho
companied by the men from the Olym-
pic club, Of San Francisco. Both of
them are expert handban players.
COrbett put in his usual two hours at
work this evening, the only change in
his usual programme being the appear
ance of Jefferies of Los Angeles. Cor
bett had private bout with this
fighter, and, although the latter appear
ed a trif1e slow, the champion expects
to receive great help from him before
the training season is over. Billey
Delaney played handball this morning,
but found the air did not agree with
him. Manager w. A Brady is expect
ed here in the morning. 1t is supposed
Charley White, the New York trainer,
will come with him.
HONEST PENNY ACT.
Fitzsimmons and Julian have never
been accused of overlooking an oppor-
tunity to turn an honest penny, but
they have hit upon a scheme which
now everybody admits is peach"
1t is nothing less than contract with
a local livery stable proprietor by
which he and only he shall have the
authority to say who shall have the
privilege of beholding Fitzsimmons at
his training, even after the hardships
of the tedious trip out to the ranch
have been endured. Those who wish
to pay the COrniShman a visit must
i0ly Of
admission to the gymnasium. True. he
does not charge anything for the
tickets. but then he has teams fer
hire and nobody would ever think Of
attempting to walk to the ranch any
more than they would go to a rival
stable for a rig after this generous In
dividual has provided him with the
coveted tickets. Julian and F'itZsim-
mons are said to be in partnership
with the stableman, and get percent
age of the profits accruing from letting
the teams. Coaches will be put in
operation today between here and both
training quarters, and a special old
time stage coach, drawn by six horses,
will make trips every afternoon from
Carson to Cooks ranch, all those pur-
chasing tickets being privileged to
watch F'itzsimmons at his afternoon
exercises.
After having seen Corbett at work.
Billy Delaney said: ct am completely
surprised at Corbett's condition. I
firmly believe him to be as good as
ever he was. It will 60 no harro now to
confess that after the Sharkey fight. I
thought that my old favorite was done
with ring work forever, but he has
recovered himself wonderfully. He is
the same old Jim. with a little more
strength. and skill added. From now
On TO the 18th of March. he will he in
nv charge exclusively and one +bin a.
J intend to insist or is. that he SHAH
not overwork himself won't allow
him to train as hard as he wants to.
He always was a gluttOn for exercise
any way. but we cannot he too careful
at time IKE this. and all my en-
deavors VIII be bent on keeping him
