Great Interest in Chicago.

CHICAGO, ILL, March livery man,
woman and child who knew that cham.
pionship fight was in progress in Carson
City, among the thousands who crowded
the downtown streets of Chicago, seemed
to be as eager to know the result and the
details as if the event was Presidential
election. The people of Irish birth and
parentage who always make holiday of
st. Patrick's day were out in full force
and augmented the crowds at various
points. Battery D armory and the Cyclic
rama building, opposite, were filled with
sports and business men, who received
the news by rounds, athletic programmes
being provided to fill in the time and
make an entertainment. Several thou
sand more men and women were at Tat
tersalPs to hear the exciting telegrams
read while female cyclists contested for
professional prizes in six-day race.
"Pompadour Jim" was the favorite at
all these places and among the thousands
vino blocked the streets opposite news
paper offices and saloon resorts The
people who stood in the mud at the
Tribune-Inter Ocean corner had only been
informed by bulletins of the eleventh
round and were waiting for something de.
cisive when party Of men who had been
at the offices of the United Associated
Presses for the news from Carson wedged
through and told of Fitzsimmons' VIC
tory. The crowd would not believe it,
but were reassured few minutes after By
the posting OF the result In spite of Jim
having host of friends the remark was
generally passed that they were glad that
FItzsimmons had won fame and fortune.

EXPERTS TALK.
They All Agree That II,
the Championship Bat
tie the "Best Man.
Won.

CARSON, New, March IA num- Der
of the sports left tonight by TIE specials
which pulled out as quickly as possible.
Those who remained were not unwilling
to discuss the battle and few Of the
expert opinions given to the special cor
respondents of the United Associated
Presses follows:
One of the most solemn looking men
about the ringside after the battle was
Walter Watson, boxing instructor of the
Olympic Club of San Francisco. Corbett
was Watson's star pupil and it cut the
veteran sorely when Jim dropped to the
floor q beaten mau.
"It hardly seems possible" he sighed.
"Jim should have kept away from that
man until he did not have punch left in
him. / am satisfied that Fitz can hit as
hard as Sullivan could in his palmy days.
Corbett cvaded him beautifully up 10
the finish and had him pretty we'll dis.
tressed with those aggravating jabs in the
face. One careless move lost him the
tisht. We saw the greatest contest in the
history of the game, though, and Bob
Fitz.immons deserves full credit for his
victory"
Al Smith was even more reticent than
usual when the battle was over. .Fitz-
simmons is as game as pebble" he de-
clared mo man with weak heart could
stand the punishment Jim dealt out in
those opening rounds. 1t was great bat
tie and the winner is the greatest man in
his line we have ever looked at
John L. Sullivan seemed disguised with
what he called Corbett's "love taps" He
deplored the absence OF old-time slogging
wasted many good opportunities to get IN
their execution.
Jack McAuliffe was more generous in
his opinion: 1--WE will never. see two
heavy weights of like caliber in the ring
together again, unless the principals OF
to-day arrange another meeting. ! think
Corbett would be foolish to go against
Fitz second time. He lacks the :tamina,
and Bob would make short work of him il
they ever got together again. Jim put up
a marvellous fight though. and Fitz hadn't
any too much margin to throw away"
Billy Madden had few pools on Fitz in
his pocket. He picked the winner before
the fight and stuck to him all through the
CORY ROUNDS Wueu ritz seemeu 70 % ON
the toboggan.
Louis Houseman danced q hornpipe
when the fatal ten seconds expired. He
backed Fitz straight and in combinations,
and won a respectable sum on the result.
George Siler earned his fee without any
exertion. .They gave me very little to
do" he remarked. II only parted them
once, and then it was hardly necessary.
They broke as pretthy as any two men
ever saw, and there was not even SEM
blance of foul fighting on either side. The
winning blow was fair nnder-arm punch
just below and slightly to the right of the
heart 1t was delivered at short range
with stiff forearm and great strength.

and Corbett is counted out. Corbett managed
to get to his feet in few seconds, as the
crowd of trainers began pouring into the
ring. Fitz grabbed an American flag from
his belt and waved it high when Referee
Siler awarded him the fight. When Corbett
Strengthened up he seemed to at last al ize that
he had lost the fight Then he made a rush at
Fitzsimmons and grappled with him and
crowded him to the ropes. They Wrestled for q
few seconds, while q dozen tried to separate
them. The deputy marshals poured into the
ring, and for q moment it looked as If there
was gCing to be serious trouble; but Corbett
was finally dragged away and hurried to his
dressing-rooms, and Fitzsimmons was also
borne out. at the same time showered with
the congratulations of his admirers, while

Gets Many Challenges.

CARSON, New. March 17.-Robert Fitz-
simmons, champion heavy weight and
middle weight of the world, is already
flooded with challenges. Although the
long-legged man has held the firs-named
title but few hours he has many of the
invitations to battle before him, butts not
considering them tonight. Already John
L. Sullivan. Peter Maher, Tom Sharkey
and Joe Goddard have in their bids and
by tomorrow Fitzsimmons expects to
hear from Peter Jackson and maybe one
or two others. 1t is not believed any
middle weight will challenge Fitzsimmons
for some time, his work to-day demon
strating what he can do with heavy
weights, and of course middle-weights
will be OF secondary consideration if
indeed he meets any of them. ri zsim-
mons said tonight that he had no plans
for the immediate future, and remarked
that it was too early to talk about it.

A FIGHT FOR FREEDOM
SOclaIistic Movement so Defined
by the Professor of Political
Economy at Berlin.

Berlin. Oct. GAN extraordinary scene
was witnessed last night at the University
of Berlin on the occasion of the inaugural
address of the new professor of political
economy, DR.. Reinhold of Weisbaden.
DR.. Reinho1ds appointment last July
evoked a chorus of execration, because he
asserted that Social democracy should
be left to find it's own solution"
The crowd of students that gathered to
hear the inaugural address was so large
that the most spacious room in the uni
versity had to be used. Dr. Reinhold
deprecated that view of socialism which
regards it as mere gutter agitation which
can be suppressed by the military"
He said: "Such a view point evinces
the narrowest shortsightedness. For this
is battle of spirit against spirit. The
laborers are fighting for freedom, and it
is nothing out of the normal course of
civilization in the progress from the stat
US of slavery to the status of contract.
The lecture was loudly cheered. the ap-
plause quite sitting the few Kisses.
