Julian. The latter says
titzslmmops has never trained for fight
about him. and in no instance has 1t proved to
b" true. A little training will tell on Fitzsim-
nous to a far greater degree than 1t will on
Jerries. fitzsimmons Is In wonderfully fine

stronger than now
Regarding Chief Devery's action Julian said
IT Is very queer that Chief Dsvery should
enddenly become 30 anxious about the law [

that he Will :lnd when he goes down there on
Friday night that no law will be violated. We
expected something like this because OF the
effort that wAS made to prevent the

law. Both Jenries and FtEsimmons under

under which they are going to fight The bat

necessary.
Chief Devery now fears for the fate Of the
lighters; and thinks that some one may get
hurt. The Chiefs latest statement, made last
night Ia as follows: ~
You may be sure that there will be no prize
night; shall he there and will SEQ the men

permits them TO, but the first move in the d.
