games. The sports from abroad

it Is said they did not take home with

Charley White left for San Francisco
early this morning. taking with him
Corbett's other trainers. Despite the
defeat OF his man, White WAS con.
graduated ON all sides for his work in
putting the champion into the
superb condition in which he entered
the ring. White said:
:" Ia training Corbett, | hammered
his face, arms and breast every night
with small bags containing a pow.
dered preparation which hardened the
skin. Corbctt would certainly have
beaten Fit2simmons IL hp had prRc.
| ticed his usual ring tactics and stayed
away. Tho inhghtipg is Fitzsimmons'
own game and that is where no won.
81 advised Corhett to fight general
ship fight, keeping away from Fitz,
hut he was 60 confident he could whip
fiiz that he would mix up. Even up
10 the ruund h. wont down 10 he was
con tihen,. lie is much the better man.
TIE chance blow did it"

than the general public expected. The

Ii was correct.

IA il it was Corbe,t'a fight. lie had
Fita Wobbling in the fourth anj fifth
rounds aud in the tifih was foresd for
the tret time to 60 in between, TO
make Fits break away. After that it
arrearni TO me that Cogbett's Flows
were not az effective as before, and
FIT seemed to be getting stronger all
tho time"
In criticistps the contest. William
Muldoon said:
1t was tho pre.tiost and bsst fight
that ever occurred between big men.
Corhsti had plenty OF steam in hi.
blows, but could not reach vulnerable
part OF Fitzsimmon's anatomy. He had
l3ah nearly out in the fifth round and
should have finished his man then,
but he was not quito quick enough.
My formar criticism Of Corbett's train,
irg methods still holds good. lie
