CARSON, Feb 26.-Corbetts training
quarters at Shaw's Springs were over
crowded and as it was necessary Tor
some of the athletes to move, George
Green. Dial Hawkins and Spider Kelly,
the last two arriving this morning, con-
cluded to seek another home. They
picked out a place at Genoa, small VII
lage distant about seven miles from
Carson.
The most imortant arrivals of the day
were Manager W. A. Brady and Charley
White. the New York trainer, who Will
aid Delaney as much as possible IN
looking after Corbetts interests. They
reached the champions handball court
while the latter wos going through MS
usual morning exercises. Brady eX-
pressed himself as being we'll pleased
with Jim's appearance. White seemed
to be inclined to reserve his opinion foI
a day or two, until he had chance 10
size Corbett up thoroughly.
One of abe most interesting incidents
of the day was Corbett's bout with JEFF
fries. the California heavyweight. They
kept continuously at work for twelve
minutes, and while Jeffries was pretty
wei DuIlllGI OhN CT LII AA'4ANS@-'
called for Billy Woods to take his turn
with the gloves.
Jeffries is a young giant, whose mus
cular development, while not equal 10
that of Tom Sharkey's, is certainly re-
markable. He is by occupation boiler
maker. and if he can acquire little
more speed. Corbett thinks he will
eventually become a great fighter. JeI-
fries never took a boxing lesson IN ms
life. and his practice with Corbett can
not but be of great benefit to him.
In his bouts with Woods, who is pro-
tected by pneumatic armor Corbett
does not confine himself to tapping, but
strikes with all his hight, too frequently
for Woods comfort. This armor does
not appear to be such a great protector
after all. for once or twice during this
mornings bout Woods was almost put
on the floor One blow, a right half
arm punch. which caught Woods
squarely under the chin. sent the Den
ven man reeling TO the wall.
At Fftzsimmons' quarters to-day the
general routine was gone through.
About o'clock the lanky fighter started
out for a ten-mile spin, returning to the
ranch feeling comparatively fresh.
After a rub down Bob sat around the
house and killed time until noon. This
afternoon he gave a public exhibition IN
the gymnasium. in connection with his
training. but only about half dozen
people We're present. Crowds Will prob
ably begin to flock to Cooks in day or
two however, when the fact that ad-
mission to see the pugilist work becomes
generally known. One dollar is the rate
charged for transportation to the ranch
and return, including admission to the
show. 1t is considered quite reasonable.
Fitz started in by punching the bag,
giving a most artistic exhibition in that
line. which was greatly relished by the
spectators This was followed by spar
ring with Roeber, Hickey and Steiner.
Roeber surprised the big New Zealander
by jabbing him in the mouth with his
left and drawing a little blood. At the
conclusion of nine fast rounds. Fitz-
simmons showed up comparatively
fresh. while the other three showed the
effects of the work through which they
had passed.
FitzsimmOns is still suffering slightly
from the effect Of his cold, but said this
afternoon that it was not enough i'm
portance to cause him to let up in train
ing.
