Styles of Fighting.
Regarding the style of the fight 1t
looks as II II would be conducted on
separate lines by the two lighters,
This Is the conclusion reached after
watching each man at work ever since
the training began. Ftz will evidently
TRY to force II ut short range, while
Corhett will cling to long arm style,
Thus, II Fitz wins, the fight should be
short, less than eight rounds, while II
Corhett prevails 1t should run well over
ten rounds. Fitzsimmons' plan is evil
IDENTIFY to end the fight in one blow
There is no question that the Cornish
man can knock out any living man II he
can get In all OF his strength ON the
point of the Jaw. All OF his science will
be devoted to secure an opening for one
OF his famous hooks, or swings. He
has been doing the kind of work that
increases his hitting power and he has
carried II to an extreme that almost In

the wrestler. to smash him some pretty
hard ones on the face and body. seem
ingly for the purpose of toughentng him

the hope of getting the opening for one
Of his killing blows. Fitz has taken

presented resolution to have the gov
erl0r appoint Il commission consisting
OF one member from the senate and
Two from the assembly to investigate
the matter Of prison labor reform and
legislature on the ACCESSIBILITY of max
ing change in the Wisconsin system
The preamble of the resolution recitcd
that there are many bills now before
the legislature on the subject, that
many states are now experimenting
with prison reform and that it would
be unwise for Wisconsin 10 make d
change at present. The resolution was
laid over until today.

Thayer moved that the senate adhere to
its amendment and ask for commit
tee OF conference. Sen lror Austin
moved that the senate recede from it
on the ground that the amendment if
adopted would make the bill null. since
the constitution provides hat all tan
alton shall be uniform. He believed
| the institutions affected by The bin
should be taxed as they were privileged

THE mere fact that Fitzsimmons is
