Lewiston evening teller. (Lewiston, Idaho) 1900-1900, 1900-08-30


ficult, as they are built on entirely differ
ent lines and there is the same dissimi
larity i'll 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 SUBJ
stance when symptoms of physical
shrinkaSe 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 in 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 a fighter i'll every sense the term
implies there is no gainsaying. He is of
the rough and ready sort and meyer so
happy as when smuggling. His knc Wedge
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. In-6ghting 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 Fitzsiminons'
defeat.
