the provisions of the Horton law for n
purse of $4,000. If the present arrange
lnents are carried out the men will face
each other about 9;3o p. NJ. According
to reports from their present training
quarters, Fitzsimmons and Sharkey are
both in firstclass physical condition.
comparison of the two fighters is diff
iicult, as they are built on entirely differ
ent lines and there is the same dissimi-
larity in their styles of fighting. Fitz-
simmons excellent showing in his recent
fight with Rubin makes it appear that
the lankey Cornishman has reversed the
rule by building up in muscle and sub
stance when symptoms of physical
shrinkage might be looked for. Though
on the shady side of forty he is appar-
emily as sound and shifty as when he
faced Dempsey in the ring shortly after
his arrival in this country. All in all, he
is to be regarded as the most dangerous
man i'll the world at close quarters and as
he himself says, it is only necessary for
him to land one good blow on his oppo-
nent's body.
AS for Sharkey, it is still the opinion
Of his friends and admirers that he is the
coming champion, despite his recent de-
feat at the hands of Gus Rubin. That
he is fighter in every sense the term
implies there is no gainsaying. He is of
the rough and ready sort and never so
happy as when slugging. His kno wledge
of scientific fighting principles is still
limited and he places his main reliance
on brute force. He rushes at his man
from the time he enters the ring until
the gong sounds. In6ghting is his forte
and he usually takes three or four blows
to deliver one. These are the tactics he
will employ in tonight's battle, and he
thinks they will result in Fitzsimmons'
defeat.
