The San Francisco call., 1897-02-11

for the Govern

the 18th and Pm going out winner. I
believe / can whip my man, and if didn' t
think so l wouldn't have made the match.
But don't ask me to talk. Perhaps when
Mr.. Fitzsimmons comes through here he
can give you longer speech. This talk
ing seems to come easy TO him. Laugh
teri I haven't preached to such big
congregation anywhere else along the
line"
Three cheers were given with great
gusto. when Mr.. O Keefe, local sport,
yelled: "If you can't do up that blasted
Cornishman don'tever pass through Reno
alive again." and there was another roar
as the train pulled out.
AS soon as his brother Harry got into
the smoker the two sat down facing each
other and began to chatter like magpies.
Each wanted to tell some experience.
Il say. Jim, Carson is just clean gone
crazy. Last Sunday"
"But wait, Harry, till 1 tell you my
Chicago experience"
As the two men talk, both sparring for
an opening, they put up their hands and
then clinched, each half raising from his
seat Jim grabbed his brother like a
child by both arms, slammed him down
in his seat and in the mixup he got the
right OF way for his story and told the
following:
Harry, ran up against the cleverest
amateur boxer l ever saw at the Chicago
Athletic Club. His name was DR.. Pine, a
dentist, that stood 6 feet 2, weighed 100
and was as strong as a bull"
"Oh. bother your Chicago dentist; let
me tell you OF Al Livingston of Car
son. He started the whole works,
and he's got a stomach on him like"
Jim rushed in and smothered his To-
quacous brother back into his seat.
"WelI, / had go with this chap at the
athletic club, and he came onto me like
a snowslide. He let go straight swings,
leads, uppercuts and the whole thing, and
1 had to hustle Ike the deuce to keep
out OF his way. Oh, don't you make any
mistake; he was clever guy aud be-
Ionged to the swell set was never so
astonished in my life ana never had to
hustle any harder to keep from going out.
You ought to have heard the cluD veil
when he was getting in his work.
But you ought TO see them at the Car
son depot"
The champion gra bbed his brother and
forced him down again as he continued ::
HE let mp q second 10 see if l was dead,
when l reached for his jaw with a left
jolt, and when his hands went up l sent
my right into his stomach, then back
again on his jaw, just high enough to spoil
his teeth. He subsided and the Chicago
club quit yelling"
All this time the boxer was swinging
anu uppClSuIbihE Will DOlA udIuS, re-
hearsing the whole thing at regulation
kinetoscope speed, ard then went on to
tell what royal fellow the dentist was
and what great friends he had made with
him. After which he warned THE CALL
reporter that it was not for publication.
Harry started his Carson story and the
reporter went out and hunted up Jack
McVey in another part OF the car Said
McVey, He is as sound as cannon ball
and every muscle Is as hard as rock.
Any talk to the contrary is all bosh
He was soft when he met Sharkey
aud the deal he got that night was the
best lesson he ever had in his life. He
realized it and has kept in training ever
since. He will toe the scratch in better
condition and be harder hitter than
ever-full OF ginger and confidence to put
up the battle of ais life"
Mrs. Corbett accompanied her husband
on the train. The lady is in good health
and spirits and thinks Jim has walkoyer.
Stuart will reach Carson tomorrow
about $3.50 A. NJ. At about the same time
Jim is expected to land in San Francisco.
