have boxed good hard bouts with Bob
FVtAsimmons in Australia and with Jim
Corbett in America. I was the latter's spar
ring mariner up to the time of my first battle
with Peter Maher. Jim is the greatest fight
er in the world. He is a revelation IN
science. He knows moves other boxers
would never dream Of. His guard is perfec-
ton itself. You can't hit him seriously I'M
less he takes a chance in crossing you: ne
can duck as no other man ever ducked, OLD
Jem Mace not excepted. Fitz has not a show
on earth with him. Bob is a great hghter'
but Corbett is out of his class and think
he will prove that to Bob's satisfaction IN
anywhere from 10 to 20 rounds, according to
how fast Bob tries to fight.

COrbett Easily First, Says Dan
CFeedOn.


I fought with Bob F1tzsmmons and boxed
every day for weeks with Jim Corbett when
he was training for his fight with Charley
Mitchell at Jacksonville Fla. Naturally l
ought to know something of the two men, for,
in addition to fighting Fitz in America I saw
him box in Australia frequently. Fitz is
PROFESSIONALLY a great fighter, but to my mind
he cannot compare with Corbett in any of
the qualities which go to make a champion
except in hitting power. He hit little
harder than Jim, but is nothing near his
equal in cleverness, generalship or speed.
Both are men Of undoubted courage, no mat
ter what bitter partisans may say to the con-
trary. 1t is all tommy rot to talk of Corbett
being cowardly because he won't engage in
street brawl. A boxer should never do that.
1t is also nonsense to say that Corbett can't
hit hard. He can hit fearful blow when he
steps in to man. AS a rule, however he
hits and gets away so as to avoid a return,
and, Of course, some force is lost. He de-
ponds on jabbing his man out and escaping
unscathed himself; but he can fight harder
and faster and knock his opponent out as his
battle Of three rounds with Charley Mitchell
proves. For the reasons have given. l ex-
pect to see Corbett win after grand exhi-
bition Of science in anywhere from eight to
twenty rounds, according to the pace Fitz cuts
out, for everybody seems to think he will be
the pacemaker. Dan Creedon.

in the early stages of the game, but Moore's

that Big Florrie Sullivan, precinct detective

promised HIM immunity from arrest and
urged him to go at the clustering Briton. If
he quailed once, he will quail again. 1 don't

Snapper Garrison Believes in Fitz's
Luck.

In horse racing the talent generally play the
jockey who wins. In this particular game Of
fighting it is impossible to go on this line be-
cause both men have won every fight they
have ever gone into. 1 don't take any stock
in this talk that either man lacks heart. They
have both got a barrel of courage. They are
pretty nearly even in height, reach, skill and
quickness. Fitz, however, is the better
puncher and that ought to tell in the long
run. 1 believe, too, in his luck He won in
two notable occasions when ne was all but out
and l think his luck will stick to him.
am further impressed with the belief from the
fact that my friend, Riley Grammar, the big
turf plunger, the luckiest well as the ner-
West man that ever bet dollar, is backing
Fitz. will put few pennies myself on the
lucky brick topped fighter.

ever, seems to be in Corbett's favor just

some quarters during the summer ana
fall that Mr.. Berg first ran for secre-
tary of state in 1894, and L took steps
at that time to deny it, or rather to
tell the true facts of the unpleasant
affair"
Judge Schoonmaker then related
his clients side of the story, which is
given in part as follows:
six years ago Albert Berg first met
Anna Christine Peterson. Albert was
at that time register of deeds of Chi
sage county, residing in Center City,
and Miss Peterson was employed IN
Chicago as a stenographer and type
writer her parents living in that city.
She came to Minnesota several times
during the succeeding two years, TO
visit relatives, and met Albert at social
parties and at the homes of mutual
friends. Their acquaintance soon ce-
mented a friendship and this friendship
ripened into a warmer passion as time
passed on, the result of which was
their marriage in Center City, in May,
1895 Albert at that time was thirty
two years of age and his bride twenty
one.
For six months everything was as
lovely as the prOverbial marriage bell,
but at the end of that period Mrs. Berg
decided to make visit to Chicago.
She intended to return shortly, but an
incident occurred and she did not re-.
turn for year. Then she came to st.
Paul and secured a position as ste-
nographer.
In the meantime Mr.. Berg. through
his attorney, instituted proceedings
for a divorce. Only once. since Mrs.
Berg left for Chicago has she met her
husband. The meeting occurred IN Al
tOTney SchOonmaker's office and the as
ciple of Blackstone withdrew to allow
them to talk freely and unrestrained:
What passed between them is not
known except to themselves, AtI1he
conclusion of the interview Mrs: Berg
asked that the divorce proceedings be
postponed for a few months or a year,
and her request was granted. --s<F b.
The complaint in. the case of Berg VS.
Berg was thus filed in the Chisago
county district court three months
ago. in which the plaintiff, Albert,
asked to have the marital ties binding
him to Anna Christine sundered, al
leging deSertion as the cause The
action was set for a hearing Oct Is,
and on that day the plaintiff and his
attorney went to Red Wing, where
Judge Crosby was then holding a term
of court. The defendant failed to ap-
pear. 1t was high noon and a jury in
another action was just retiring to the
jury room when Attorney Schoon-
maker stepped up to the bench, and
in few moments the Berg case was
proved up" Probably no one of the
little group in the court room knew
what was going on. Judge Crosby
granted the decree Immediately.
After the plaintiff and his attorney
returned to st. Paul a copy of the de-
cree was sent to Mrs. Berg, together
with the letters which had caused so
much trouble.
Mr.. Berg desired to keep the public
in the dark, but the secret came out
through a two-line item in Franklyn
w Lees Rush City Post, which said
simply:
ALBERT Berg has been divorced.
Look out girls"
