TO recommend to Congress appropriation as in

three Italian citizens at IIahnve. La. on August

The State Department has struggled I'm vain for
several months to escape the necessity Of assum-
Ing responsibility for the killing OF these mon. and
in the attempt IT has been aided by the authorities
of the State of Louisiana with copious reports TO
establish the assertion that the Italians were
killed not because they were Italians. but because
they were suspected OF having committed muir
der and also that they had lost their Italian ma
tonality by exercising the rights of citizens I'm

Oney and Baron Fava. the Italian Ambassador.
these points are regarded as excellent mani

case a legacy TO the incoming Administration.
He had taken the ground that the men killed were
not Italian subjects. but the Italian Ambassador,
by direction OF his Government, firmly asserted It's

"Of course, my matches with the two
men were entirely different in nature.
With Corbett it was a rushing fight
throughout. Only four rounds were
called for and l felt that 1 would have
a better chance by keeping close to my
man and fighting fast. 1 went accord
ing to these ideas, and those who saw
it will admit it was hurricane battle
with Fitzsimmons the articles
called for ten rounds, and the pace was
much slower. Fitzsimmons did not
make the rushing fight of it that 1 sup
posed he would, and as he outreaches
me it wasn't hard for him to keep me off
a good deal of the time.

shiftier than he is, and 1 admit that
Corbett is much shiftier than | am
AS regards hitting power, 1 don't
think there is much to choose between
them. Fitzsimmons is by no means the
terrible puncher he is credited with
being. AS to his body blows, they are
decidedly weak. He caught me once
fair in the pit of the stomach with his
right, and l declare l scarcely felt the
bow.

consider it wild statement to say that

Fitz was putting in one blow"

II have already said that Fitzsim.
mons is not dangerous as a body punch
err. He has only two blows that re-
quire watching and they are both at
the head. His favorite punch is q
right-hander. He feints time or two
with the left and then lashes out with
his right. Sometimes the blow is over
hand and sometimes it is swing, but
it ism It hard to guard against. At least
did not have any trouble avoiding it
after he had tried a time or two
"His other blow is left swing. He
used it when he found 1 could block his
right. 1t was delivered mostly with
