fries"
Tommy Ryan, champion midGlewelght
boxer. made this statement today In
passing upon the results Of the San
Francisco battle In which Corbett woe
fully failed to vanquish the boiiermaker.
Ryan had pinned his faith IN Corbe.t,
actively assisting HIM In his training.
Ryan has as little use for Jeflirles as he
had before the battle, but he admits that
Jeffries, IN his estimation, Is the great
est heavyweight fighter the world has
ever seen.
Ryon only remained a brief time In
Chicago after leaving the train from the
coast, speeding south TO ST, Louis.
"Jeffrles was too big and powerful for
Corbett. He hit him an awful blow IN
the second round. and after that II was
only a question Of time.
This talk about Munroe is rather
amusing. He may be clever fellow
and a puncher mt that, but in my ludg-
ment he has not chance with JeHrles
"Jeffrles Is class by himself tbs
way Of battling was a revelation TO me
II was speed and force combined. Tic
timed his blows admirably, and every
time ne landed It counted.
"Jeffries won because he was bigger
and stronger That's all there was &c
H. The wallop just put him out Of bust
ness"
RYAN declares that Corbett put w
ono of the gamest Of fights and was
beaten fairly and squarely'
IAN the praise that Corbett is receiy'
ing" continued Ryan, rs justly
earned. and he Is one Of the games'
men m the ring today
