the race early, but Fitz and the hog
kept at it, For about two miles back
and forth through the brush the hog
sprinted as fast as hog ever does
sprint, with Fitz close at his heels.
Finally Fitz worked up to within a
foot of the hog and thought the time
had come for a touchdown. He made
a spring. landed good and fair on hog
gie's back, and bore him to the ground.
Then came the real trouble, the hog
making frantic efforts to escape, while
Fitz made as frantic efforts to keep
him pinned down. The two rolled over
and over, the hog giving vent to all
the varieties of squeal he had ever
known, and Fitz pouring out a success
ion of remarks in disparagement of the
Intelligence of hog flesh. The hog finally
Lecame exhausted in all things save
his squealing apparatus, and gave up
the fight, while FitZ, with triumph
ant grin and his breath coming short
and quick, held him fast. In few
minutes the owner of the hog came up
and accused Fitz of trying to steal the
animal. 1t took fully ten minutes of
earnest conversation on the part of
F'ltz to convince him that he was roll
ing hogs in the sage brush just for the
fun of the thing, and that there was
nothing in it for him save exercise. AS
ali evidence of good faith he restored
the hog and continued on his way to
town.
FitZsmmons shortened his usual out
door run to-day, doing but six miles, His
usual amount of leg work up to date has
been nearly twice that. He put in the
regular amount of bag punching and
wrestling with his trainers, going three
rounds with three of them, nine rounds
in all. He then punched the bag for ten
fast rounds and closed his day with a
good rundown. He expressed himself as
feeling in excellent shape, and certainly
looks as we'll as he declares he feels.
He was examined this afternoon by DR..
Guinan, who yesterday went over Cor
bett to determine his physical condition.
After the examination DR.. Guinan de-
clared that FitZ was in perfect condi-
ton, and that he was in as good shape
as it was possible for him to be.
Both Corbett and Fitz are in most ex-
ceIlent condition" declared DR.. Guinan,
after he had concluded his examination
of the latter Il am not in the habit of
examining fighters as a rule, and l am
not the man to say whether they are in
what is called fighting condition. They
are, however, in as good shape as it is
possible for two human animals to be"
A snowstorm which set in at > o'clock
tonight bids fair to put an end to out
door work for both for some days. 1t
was still coming down heavily at a late
hour tonight, and there is every prob
! ability that by tomorrow Carson City
will be buried under two or three inches
of snow.
