An 1ntimatiOn That His Friends Would
Make Trouble In the Event of His De-
fsat-Ths Ex-Champion Declares That
He "Has No Kick Coming"
Carson. New, March 19.-Fltzsim-
mons, the new champion pYgilist of
the world, took things easy yesterday.
In the morning he walked over to the
penitentiary and took bath. and for
the balance of the day loafed around
the house. He looked In excellent
shape, and the pounding he received in
the ring Wednesday from Corbett did
mot show to the extent that might
have been expected. His lower lip was
cut quite badly, and was covered liber-
ally with court plaster but this was
the only thing about him that gave
any indication of the ordeal he had
gone through. One thumb was tied
up, and Bob explained that he had
hurt 1t on Corbett's head in the first
round, and that 1t gave him much
trouble during the fight.
There was no time during the
hight" he said, when | was not con-
fident of winning. In the fifth and
sixth rounds. when they say Corbett
mad me going. ! had no doubt what
ever In my mind that I was going to be
She winner of the fight. After the sew
3enth kept getting stronger and fresh
e-ef all %the time, and he was getting
weaker. 1 knew that l could end the
fight with a punch or two when l had
a good chance to land on him, and
knew l was going to outlast him
when 1t came, to the question of en-
fnrance. I knocked him out Just as
knocked out Sharkey, the only differ
ence being that this time | got credit
for what I did. I have shown that I
could tire him out f had not chance
10 knock him out, and OF course l took
that chance"
Regarding his future movements Fitz
said: II have not decided just what |
will do but one thing is certain, and
that is that I will not fight any more
for at least two years. 1t has been at
least three years since Corbett fought
anybody for the championship, and |
am not going into any finish contests
for two years myself During that time
q may decide to fight again. and [ may
mot. 1t all depends upon how l feel.
u am getting along in years, and two
ycdTs more on my present age VIII
bring me not far from 40, and that is
rather q mature age for any man to
engage in finish contest. However
U will not say now what | will do. I
shall pay no attention to the challenges
made by Goddard, Mitchell and Shar-
key"
Fitzsmmons will leave Carson for
Fan Francisco tonight, and will give
-'E&hibition in that city tomorrow
night.

A BENEFIT TO NEVADA,
The Governor of the State Discusses tho
Big Prize Fight.

Big Prize Fight
Carson. New, March I9.-'T don't
thinls it has hurt the state" said Gov
arnor Sadler, in discussing the Fitz-
simmons Corbett fight. "On the con-
trary, 1t will be a benefit to western
,3cvada by having brought people here
who spent some money, and when they
70 home they will talk about our state.
Some Of them saw the mines at Vir-
ginia City, and will talk about them,
and 1t may result in some eastern peo-
pie coming here to locate.
Il believe the fights held here are
preferable to the football games played
bt state universities and at all colleges
Hast and west. So far as the Corbett-
Fitzsimmons contest is concerned, I
consider it was fair fight. The hard
est hitter won, and l saw nothing
brutal. The assemblage was an order
ly one, and everything was fairly con-
hucted, as far as I know. Nothing oc-
rurred except what was likely to occur
At any gathering-a county fair for
Instance. There was a little unpleas-
antness (the governor referred to a
bhooting affray), but that did not grow
but of the fight"
