THE RING

The question of whether Fitzsimmons
was on his feet inside Of ten seconds
in tie sixth round Of the Carson fight
has been revived in the east, and is
causing much discussion among those
directly interested. This is what Ref
cree George Siler says of the fight and
his decision:
i have received scores of letters and
kilograms from all parts of the country
during the past week inquiring the
length of time Fitzsimmons was down
in the sixth round and Corbett in the
fourteenth. My attention has also been
called to the statements made by Will
lam Brady and Charley White on the
same subject. Will says In reference
to this that FitZsimmons was on his
feet before nine seconds had elapsed,
and that Corbett got everything that
was coming to him. Muldoon, the Of
ficial time-keeper and myself had made
an agreement that he (Muldoon) to
avoid mistakes, do the counting in case
of knockdowns, and that he was to fol-
low his count with the waving of his
hand; also, that I should face him, in
case of knockdowns, to make sure Of
the count
when Fitzsmmons slipped down I
was In position that could not face
Muldoon, so l counted On my own ac-
cord, and when I counted eight Fitz-
simmons arose. ! did not hear Muldoor
count, and after the round was up 1
asked him whether he had counted, and
If l SO failed to hear him. / was then
informed that Brady had private tiHe-
keeper. who was counting loud. Now,
If Fltzsimmons was down over ten Sec
onds, why did not Brady, with his pri-
vate time-keeper, or James Colville,
Corbetts time-keeper, claim the fight ?
any man with an ounce of brains knows
that at the expiration of ten seconds
Brady and all Of Corbett's seconds
would have jumped into the ring and
claimed the battle, and that IL 1 had
not given it to him (Corbett) would
not have left the ring alive. After the
battle Cortst, Brady and everybody
else said the fight was won and lost
fair and square. If that was the case
then. why not now?
when Corbett went down was with
in few feet of Muldoon and counted
every second with him. ,Brady's timer
was still in evidence, and I am sure
that had or Muldoon counted too fast,
or counted Jim out before the expiration
of ten seconds, there would have been
trouble. / will further state that after
I counted Jim out touched him on the
shoulder, informing him that it was all

I'm half promising Corbett another
meeting, Fitz made good his claim that
his victory wasn't an accident or due TO
a fluke," writes Macon. 'If he finds that
there ien't big money for him on the road,
and his western experience shows that
there isn't, he may make another match
with Corbett. II he doea hope no at

good thing for pugilistic sport, but fear
that the howl Of opposition to cham

Fitz from the 'unco guild would be so
loud and long that the law might be re-

being made.
Next Sunday there will be a shoot for
which cash prizes amounting to $50 have
been offered, besides a number of mer-
chandise prizes. Most of the crack shots
OF the club have entered for this event.
On the following Sunday, however,
there will be live bird shoot, which
promises to be highly exciting event.
Among the events will be special
match between Bruner and Van Valken-
burg for the Bruner championship medal

medal was donated by Mr.. Bruner at

won. Bruner will now make another at

The century yesterday was one OF
the best events. all things considered,
since the opening of the bicycle season
this spring, and was greatly'enjoyed by
those who took part. The union run to

Men have tried so many doctors ana spe-
cialists without getting any relief for their
special troubles that they have become
discouraged and suspicious OF good and
bad methods alike.

which aftr a time extends into other
parts The specialist of the English and
German Expert Specialists has established
the fact that Tubercular Consumption ever
requires a break in the membranes which
line the breathing tubes. Catarrh fur
nishes the broken places in the form of
raw spots. The germs of Consumption from
the air can only enter the system when
they find raw, sore, discharging sur
face. Catarrh creates just such a sur
face. Every Catarrh sufferer is in danger
or she breathes the air that has just been
breathed out by one who has Tubercular
Consumption.
CURING CONSUMPTION
That Consumption can be cured by the
superior methods employed by the Eng
lish and German Expert Specialists there
is no longer any doubt. In the advanced
stages of the disease G. cure is not always
possible. but thousands of cases that SEEM

TIE affair was a fake pure and simple,
but no one was disappointed, as this was
expected. 1t gave Angelenos an oppor-
tunity to see how Jehries showed up in
professional form, and this was what
they wanted. Those who have watched
Jeffries since he strated out on his career
were more than pleased with the show
irg he made. He is bigger and stronger
than ever, and with a reasonable amount
OF training and preparation would be i
dangerous man in any company Of
course, no one pretends that he is as
yet anywhere near the championship
class, but he is as promising a piece of
green timber as any good man would
desire out of which to develop a cham
pion candidate. Much of course depends
on the coming match with Baker, and
should he defeat him anything near
as easily as he polished off the two 9TH
ers who proceeded him, there will be no
trouble in Jeffries making a match
which Will put him well on the road to
money and reputation.
The best event Of the boxing tourna-
ment from q legitimate sporting stand
point was the ten-round contest between
Kid OBrien and Jack Burkhart. The
men are very evenly matched, and they
put up very clever exhibition of scien-
tiflc sparring, which resulted in a draw
Burkhart, however, appeared to have
the best of it at the wind-up, as he was
apparently the stronger of the two, and
was not so distressed as the other man.
O'Brien's style of fighting does not ap-
PEAR to be of the kind to win fight. He
covers too much ground and eXpends
too much energy saving wind, all of
which makes better showing to the
average spectator, but don't win battles.
