Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1897-03-17


a very hard communication to a daily
paper against the fight paid so cents
for ID Fitzsimmons badge md pinned
it Ga his coat.
Meanwhile the principals are TAX
ing it quite easily. They are the least
concerned of all. Yesterday Corbett
vas visited by an APPEAL reporter at
his quarters He had played hand
ball in the morning and boxed a little
but his exercise had been light.
You can tell the public" be said
that will win, [ am az certain Of it
as l live and after the fight I will
shake hands with Fitz."
At Fitzsimmons' quarters the AP-
PEAL found the same confidence pre-
vailing. The big deg was lying in
the path to the training quarters
where Fitz was taking soma light ex
ercise with Roeber. The dog eyed the
reporter and rising to his feet seemed
ready to transact business, but Jul
iao's voice caused him to sliuk away
Fitz was as confident as Cortett. He
had the air Of a man with some good
things up his sleeve.
II don't want to land on him but
once. When / send in my"
He Julian laid his ha"1 his arm
! and said merely, dry up" Then
Fitz paused aud turned away to box.
If he had been intending to give any
tips to the APPEAL, Julian's warning
stopped bis intention then and there
Il will win, don't make any mis-
take" he said iG parting, and Mrs.
Fitzsimmons also told the reporter
that this victory was as certain as the
sun
About noon a special from San
Francisco rolled In loaded with S .lorts,
all Of the dead game variety, arrayed
in purple and fine linen and shining
we'll groomed tiles The most distio-
guished person who left the train was
Senator Ingalls, OF Kansas who came
out for the New York Journal to re-
port the fight.
This shows to what a pinnacle Of
national Importance the fight has
climbed when so distinguished a man
as Senator OF the United States attends
the big mill to tell the world Of the
ebb and flow Of the battle. His
column in the Journal tomorrow
morning will be as vivid a piece IF
word painting doubtless as Gotham
ever read on such a to- ic and his
thousand dollar check has been paid
in advance.
Yet men Of less fame than he, are
representing other journals who may
surpass the ingalls, effor, because it
may be another case of every man to
his trade and a sporting reporte r
ought to beat u e S Senator when it
cone to ring reporting.
Ingalls, has a shape like one Of the
ring posts and the caricatures OF him
are not exaggerated.
Parson Davies with the genial ap-
pearance Of a Greek professor also ar
rived.
AS fast as the sports tumbled out OF
the train they tumbled into the near
est vehicles and started pell NELL fol
Corbett's or Fi'zsimmoBs' as il theil
lives depended on the result Of theil
reaching the place before some one
else.
They secured the country looking
for Green, Flaherty, Billy Smith anC
Hawkins. and they made for the pool
rooms and laid their money on the
IS combinatio. "a" that enabled the
winner who ca II the turn to get
about "a 80 to l Ut.
At half past two o'clock Senator Ia

l contrast.
"You look in great shape and per

aud believe you will win" said tn
t Senator reporter.
Corbett thanked him and as he lie

his side aud the spectators though

mu hit against the pelvic bone anC
