Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1897-03-19

At one o'clock on Wednesday in
this city Rob't. Fitzsimmors Was pro-
claimed champion Of tn. World. Ir
was a fair decision inexperienced by
anyone and the victor won his ldurel=
by square lighting from s'aIt TO
finish. The people Of Nevada, as q
rule. favored FitZsimmOus aus backed
him literally. The Eastern sports
came into Carson with big bundles Of
green backs and fiourished them in
the faces Of everybody. The hard
money of Nevada went up against the
rag money Of the East, and it came
back again bearing the paper with 1t.
There were Other reasons why Fltz-
simmons became = favOrite in Ne
vada. When he extended his h and to
COrtett and it vas refused. the public
took a fa2cy to him, and COrbett's
stock went down perceptsbly. On the
day of the battle Mr.. FitZ evened up
the snub put upon him on the Prison
road by publicly refusing Corbett'a
hand in the ring, and the demon
stration Of the crowd who cheered him
for this, showed how the public felt.
Nearly every in the country
was for FitZSimmOns for their ma
ternal interests caused them to lean
toward his baby and the Fitzsimmops
badges were plentiful with the ladies
everywhere. They wanted him to
nrr NpoA NJ rirh$ an1 l-Ico hIc
BABY, a victor.
Well be did.
The result surprised the hest judges
OF pugilistic form in the world. For
it seemed almost an impossihjiity that
a middle-weight should whip a heavy
weight, and that heavyweight the
cleverest boxer living.
FitzsimmoDs went into the fight at
1872 pounds and Corbett at 1877 1t has
demonstrated that cleverness and
science is not always a guarantee Of
victory in the ring. The fight also
demonstrated that Fitzsommons was
very nearly as scientific as his aDtag-
onist, for he set at naught all the
wild assertions that FitZ could never
lay a glove on Corbett. He laid his
glove On him a great many times,
aud when he reached COrbett's stom-
ach in the eight with a good right. the
champion had to hang about his neck
in order to get time to regain his
wind. He forced his man to a corner
repeatedly and pushed the fight
agressivAlv. a style of fighting that
Corbett was unaccustomed to. The
only time he was near defeat was the
terrible sixth round when Corbotl
landed on him at will and put in blow
after blow that brought him to his
knees. His marv-i0us recuperatOu
after that fearful ordea!, shows the
stuff in the man, for after his trainers
had worked a minute on him be Wen
back with a step as springv as a deers
and from hat on the championship
was fading from the grasp of Corbett
10 his career in America Fitzsiui
mons has been fair and square in hi!
fights, has kept his temper and acte(
the man. Above all, he has Away
been ready to meet any body and ha
never avoided d match.
The Corbett people want a return
match, and the APPEAL sees no reason
why Fitzsimmons should not max
such a match and repeat his victor
of Wednesday. For over a year th
thing that has bofnered Corbett mos
was the idea that Fitzsim was
cur and would nev-r meet him in til
ring. His mind must have been dis
abused of that idea within the pas
few days.
