And she went. And she found it all in

Or that fascinating little Mabel Morti-

was forced on FitZsmmons by the sailors

more consideration than he was entitled

that tournament of the heavyweight
boxers be held to develop a fighter to
contest with Fitzsimmons for the
championship of the world should bear
fruit, the event would probably create
more genuine enthusiasm among ring
followers than anything Of the boxing
kind that has ever taken place in this
country.
That there is little prospect of a
settlement of the heavyweight contro-
versy in the near future-that is that
there is little prospect of a fight for
the championship anywhere near at
hands quite apparent. FitZsimmOns
is the undisputed champion. He says
he is ready to fight whenever Corbett
whips some other fellow or some other
fellow whips Corbett, and not before.
Whether he is justified in his dictator
ial stand it is not the purpose to dis
cuss. But that he has precedent for it
cannot be denied. Corbett sowed the
seeds for Fitzsimmons action. He is
now reaping the harvest.
1t cannot now be said just how
the boxers would be paired. Those hay
ing anything near the right to be con-
sidered for championship EonOrS are
Corbett Maher, Choynski, Jeffries Run
lin, Mccoy and Sharkey. If Choynsh
is in rle condition he is reported to be
there NOuiu De SIX Itll eligible 10 en-
try. It is not unlikely that the men
whose chances are rated as most re-
mote FOR the title would be first
brought together, that the winner
would be pitted against the man rated
next best. and so on until each boxer
had shown.
such a plan would pretty clearly
demonstrate the capabilities Of the sex
tet. and bring to light a worthy antag-
onist for the champion.
The work of matching the men would
fall 10 the manager or managers of the
tournament, and if Tom O'Rourke
should take the affair in hand as pro-
posed, il would no doubt be well done.
O'Rour1e's experience in boxing af-
fairs, ranging over a period Of many
years. has eminently fitted him for any
task known to the business.
Whether Corbett would condescend to
go into such a tournament is not
known. There seems to be an impress
sion that he would not. He recognizes
none of the other big men as his equal
in a fighting way, though he has never
entered a ring with any Of them, save
Choynsk 1t is said, too. that Mccoy
would be liable to kick but the Kid is
not big enough nor great enough yet
to pose as monarch in either the mid
die or heavyweight brigade, and he
would have to yield or simply be shut
