THE ARGUS WEDNESDAY, MARCH IL, 1897

all except enthusiastic friends Of Fitx-
simmons are controlled by the belief
that he can win only by a chance jab.
and the odds are not large enough to
induce admirers to bet freely on him.
The sale Of tickets was brisk yester-
day and Dan Stuart feels more hopeful
about large attendance than for sew
eral days. How large no one can tell,
but It is now expected to reach from
1000 to 5000. Corbett will enter the ring
weighing 1855 pounds, three more than
when he fought Mitchell. Fftzsimmons
will weight 165 pounds, although Julian
said yesterday that he would be heavier
than that, ''or between 10 and $780," Ju-
liam said very plainly that Fitzsimmons
wound not concede more than twelve
pounds to Corbett.
Fitzsimmons yesterday declared that
in the event of his losing the fight he
will leave the country. What else is
there for me to do?" he said. Il cannot
get any more matches in the middle
weight class. and if I lose this it will
show that am not in the heavyweight
class; I cannot act like Corbett, and
there is nothing for me to do but get
out. expect to win, Of course. but any
man may lose fight and Of course there
is chance of my losing this one. A
fighter always takes chances, no matter
what he is up against. One thing is
sure, If I lose I will leave the United
States"

Corbett and Fitzsimmons will TODAY
battle for ring supremacy in the pres

pie. perhaps the largest number that
ever witnessed such a contest. Corbett
according to the best judges, is more
perfect physically than Fitzsimmons.
Corbett has tired out his trainers, while
Fitzsimmons' assistants are said to be
still fresh. Corbett is the favorite. and
he has been all along, but many believe
Fftxsimmons has a good chance to win.
They say 1t is only necessary to land
once to knock out his opponent. Two
special trains, one from the coast and
the other from the east, came in yester-
day, bringing several hundred people

clined on this account to think he would
be the winner. Ingalls, is trained down
to his usual fineness, and did not take
up much room in the travelling suit and
box overcoat in which he reached the
scene.
He said on his arrival that he did not
know much about prize fighting, either
In theory or practice, but he was very
willing to learn and accepted an invi-
tation to visit Corbett's quarters. The
ex-senator looked as though he rather
regretted the trip when ushered into
the smoky bar-room at Shaw's Springs,
filled as it was with brawny, strong
5awed devotees of the game who stared
suspiciously at the gentleman from Kan
SaS.
Had No Chance for Escape.
There was little chance for escape,
however, and he followed his escort into
Corbett's parlor, where introductions
ensued.
How do you do, Mr. Corbett?" said
ingalls,. IT hope your folks are all we'll"
Out of sight, old man." said the
champion. as he shook the ex-senator's
arm into a state Of partial paralysis
''Glad to see you"
Il intend to see the match tomorrow

you," said the ex-statesman. IT do not
know much about this branch Of gym

I'll be glad to post you, SENATOR" re-
piled Corbett. What can I tell you?"

well, for instance, how hard are you
allowed to hit your opponent" asked
ingalls,. with evident return of courage.
"As hard as you can punch" was the
answer amid a general laugh, which
again disconnected the Questioner. But
he was game and led back with another
query.
But" he asked. "how much does It
count when you hit the other man?
don't know much about the score"
That ficored Corbett, and to cover his
visitors confusion he began a little rap
i'd work with the dumbbells. ingalls,
hastily retreated to far corner of the
room from which he viewed the work
with evident admiration.
Thinks Corbett "Nice" Fighter.
II think you must be very nice fight
er. Mr.. Corbett," the ex-senator said
when the exhibition was finished, "and
I think You will beat Mr.. Fitzsimmons
We are both American citizens, and of
course sympathize always with Amer
leans. I don't know your opponent, but
I don't think he can whip you; you are
SO big, you know"
ingalls, soon drove back to town.

and the two walked to Dan Stuart's big
arena.

Dear me-" said the ex-senator, as he

ators yesterday over feeble protest of

that there is no possibility Of electing
Blackburn. and little of his preventing
an election; but everything still tends
to the combination of fifty silver DEM

who, with the Republicans who may de-
sert Hunter expect to elect Governor
Bradley and make a race for governor
that they believe will reunite the Demo-

With the gold Democrats it is a choice
between Republicans, and their vote
will be for a Republican who is GER
