Fitz Discusses the Present Day
Pugilists.
Says Jeffries the Hardest Hitter
i'm the Ring.
HAS SCIENCE
Gives Mccoy Credit For Being
Fastest Fighter.
Is a Treat to See the Kid
Squirm Out of a Corner.

New York, Jan. S.-.Discussing the
question as to who is the hardest hit
ting, cleverest and quickest fighter in
the ring, Bob Fitzsimmons. in the Jour
nal, says.
After sitting out all of the big fell
lows who know how to send in a wallop,
there can be no doubt that Jeffries is
the hardest puncher of the bunch. Peter
Maher has long been looked upon as
having a terrific punch up his sleeve.
and there is no doubt that this is true.
The Irishman can put it over with the
best of them.
s'Sharkey is no mean chap when it
comes to piling wallOps into the other
man. but neither Of these men can land
his right with the same force that the
champion can put into his blows.
''Jeffries is not only a hard hitter, he
is a clean hitter. He is a very careful
fighter, and measures his blows well be-
fore he sends them in. In fact, he is
too careful, and often loses a chance to
ness.
However, when narrowed down, the
boilermaker stands out as the hardest
puncher of the let
There is hardly any use Of saying
anything about this subject Of who is
the cleverest of the big chaps
There is only one man in the ring
who can give Jim Corbett a race in this
THAT man is Kid Mccoy. He has
the art of boxing down TO a point Of
perfection that is simply wonderful. His
defense is a. marvellous one. His attack
is equally perfect.
Mccoy, while clever to a remarkable
degree, has not quite as good a head as
Corbett.
THE Californian has time and time
again shown his cleverness- He made
Jeffries look like novice when he went
up against the champion at Coney ISL
and. He has done the same to all the
other big chaps Could he hit as hard
as a. man of his weight should he would
have been the most wonderful fighter
the world ever saw.
so to him must be given the credit of
being the cleverest in the bunch.
AS Corbett is the cleverest of the big
boxers. SO is Mccoy the quickest. He
is quicker even than Corbett.
It's a treat, think, to see the Kid
if that battle is just a trif1e warm and
he has to do some squirming to get out
Of a hole. He seems more like a shadow
than real live man. His foot move
ment is quick as lightning. Corbett can
do a. bit of fast work himself when he
is under full steam, but his foot work is
hardly as fast as that of McCoy's.
Joe ChOynsl<i comes among the list
OF fast men. He also can move around
at q pretty lively gait. But when put
alongside of the Kid he, like the rest of
the fighters, appears slow.
while Mccoy is naturally a fast
man, he has learned much Of his clever
foot work in the past two years He is
a strictly up-to-date fighter, and uses
his head every moment he is in the
ring"

Yer Ed Martin, his colored SparrlnG
partner. The champion was accompa-
MED by his brother Jack, Jack McCor.
mick, the wrestler; Kid Egan and
Ross Oneil. Jeffries will start for Asbury
Park tomorrow morning.
Il am very glad that my road season
is over said Jeffries. Il was not stuck
very much on acting, anyhow, and ii
gives me great relief and pleasure to
know that I will soon be able to go into
training. Everything is in readiness for
my stay at ASbury Park. / Will use the
same quarters where got into cOndi
ton for my battles with titZSimmonS
and Sharkey. / weigh about 235 pounds
stripped, and as my fighting weight is
from 21O to 2l5 pounds, you see will not
have to reduce very much. I will do
plenty of sparring while in training, and
besides Bob Armstrong l will have with
me Brother Jack and Jack Mccormick.
IF defeat Rubin I will go at once
after Fitzsimmons. I am ready to tackle
him at Carson to a. finish. 1t is the am
biti0n of my career to meet him again
just to show him and the public that
can defeat him. don't think that Fitz
really has any intention of retiring from
the ring just yet, and it is dollars to
doughnuts that we will have it out to
finish at Carson under the direction Of
Dan Stuart
Ruhlin and Madden went at once to
Dyker Heights, Brooklyn, where Mad
den owns a cottage. The Akron Giant, "
who has not decided upon any place for
his quarters, viii do some road work to-
morrow morning. Madden expects to
leave for Cincinnati on Wednesday. He
has in view several localities for his pro
tege's comfort and will select one near
est to the club house.
Gus is in good health said Madden,
and I'm confident that he will give
good account of himself when he meets
the champion. After the 18th of next
month he will be the champion himself
or else my name is not Billy Madden.

that he was unable to do before. Ev-

lands on Jeffries you can bet that there
will be something doing

CHANGE OF CLIMATE
Not Necessary In Order to Cure
Cafarrl1.


The popular idea that the only cure
for chronic catarrh is a change OF Gu Z
mate, is r. mistake because cafarrh IS
found in all climates IN all sections OF
the country; and even If a change or
climate should benefit for a time the ca
tarrh viii certainly return
Catarrh may be readily cured in any
climate but the only way to do II IS TO
destroy or remove from the system the
catarrhal germs which cause all the
mischief.
The treatment by inhalers, sprays.
powders and washes has been proven
almost useless in making permanent
cure, as they do not reach the seat OF
disease, which is in the blood and can
be reached only by an internal Eemeoy
which acts through the stomach upon
the blood and system generally.
A new discovery which is meeting
with remarkable success in curing ca
tarrh OF the head. throat and bronch1al
tubes and also catarrh of the stomach.
is sold by druggists under name Of
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
These tablets which are pleasant AID
harmless to take owe their efficiency to
the active medicinal principles of Blood
Root, Red Gum and a new specific call
ed Guaiacol, which together with valu-
able antiseptics are ombfned in cOnven-
lent, palatable tablet form. and as val
liable for children as for adults.
Mr.. A. r. Fernbank OF Columbus.
Ohio. says: Il suffered so many winters
from Catarrh that took it as a matter
it except a change Of climate, which my
business affairs would not permit me to
take.
My nostrils were almost always clog
ged up had to breathe through the
mouth causing an infiamed irritated
throat. The thought of eating break
fast often nauseated me and the catar-
RI gradually getting into my stomach
took away my appetite and digestion.
My druggist advised me to try nf-
ty cent box of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets,
because he said he had SO many Gus
toners who had been cured of Catarrh
by the use Of these tablets that he felt
he could honestly recommend them.
took his advice and used several boxes
with the results that surprised and de-
lighted me.
Il always keep a box of Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets in the house and the Whole
family use them freely on the first APP
pearance Of a cough or cold in the head
with our children we think there is
nothing SO safe and reliable as StuartS
Catarrh Tablets to ward off Group ard
colds and with older people I have
known Of cases where the hearing had
been seriously impaired by chronic ca
tarrh cured entirely by this new rem
edy.'
