Carson, New. Feb. 81. - Charley
White and BILLY" Delaney met yes.
terday for the first tiiae at Shaw's
Springs. After lengthy interview
Corbett announced that White and
Delaney would have absolute charge of
his training, debating his method of
fighting and be chief advisers in the
ring. White will decide in a day or
two how the Californian shall fight
the Cornish mar.
White. who bas the reputation of
being ono Of the hest judges of hoxers,
as well as one of tho best advisers,
watched Jim closely through bis exer-
else yesterday. White trained Fitz-
simmons when he was matched against
Corhett two years ago. He was very
fayorably impressed with Corbett's
condition and work, and said: "In tho
style of training the men 1t ia very
different Fitzsimmons is methodical,
while Corbett's work varies and is Of
tbs gymnasium order. Jim, ] think.
has the right idea. His exhibition of
endurance. as displayed through the
medium OF the hard ball game this
moring. is the greatest l have ever wit
messed. He tired one man after another,
after which be boxed Woods, Jeffries
and his brother Joe. Corbett's style of
boxing with Joe was of n scientific
order, and showed the finished boxer.
10 his bout Corbett gave splendid ex.
hibition OF feinting and stepping aside.
He was very active. and his feat work
was a very agreeable surprise. Cor
belts bag. punching exhibition was very
gond. His judgment Of distance is
great. He can dodge blow by a
smaller fraction and in better style than
anybody ] ever saw"
Everybody at Fitzsimmons' training
quarters is depressed at the news of the
death OF Mrs. Julian, and the little
manager has not yet got his brother. in.
law fully started at his work. 1t is
rumorei that Fitzsimmons docs not
rest well, but lies awake. thinking OF
his bereavement Fitzsimmons carried
a piece Of sponge between his lips and
teeth while running yesterday, ard
thinks his experiment decided
benefit, as the sponge takes the raw
ness out OF the atmosphere and prevents
il aggrayating the cold on his lungs.
He did not believe Corbett's wind is
as good as i. was reported to be, and
expressed the opinion that two punches
in tho stomach will take the starch out
OF him, and said if he gets one smash
at his head he will be satisfied.
