yesterday. 1t is nothing less than a con-
tract with local livery stable proprietor

authority to say who shall have the
privilege of beholding Fitzsimmons at
his training. even after the hardships OF
the tedious trip out 10 the ranch have
been endured. Those who wish to pay
the Cornishman a visit must go to this

anything for the tickets. but then he has
teams for hire, and nobody would ever

be as good as he ever was. II will do no
harm now to confess that after the Shar-
key fight thought that my old favorite
was done with ring work forever. but ne
has recovered himself wonderfully. Hs
Is the same old Jim with little more
strength and skill added. From now on
10 the 18th OF March he will be in my
charge exclusively. and one thing that
intend TO insist on is that ne shall not
overwork himself. I won't allow him 10
train as hard as he wants 20. He al
ways was glutton for exercise. anyway
