when boxed Thompson last 1 was
in better shape than 1 have been since
my arrival, and he gave me the hard
est six rounds ever fought. i don't
think we moved twenty-five feet dur
ing the six rounds, and it was moth
ing but hit and block for eighteen min
uteS. .t-
IN the third round 1 caught him a
right hand punch under the heart, and
it was so hard 1 thought had him
beat, for he staggered and dropped his
hands. l repeated the punch, but he
clnched and came around and finished
strong. a
81 knew 1 had hurt him, and started
out to lick him, bht he came tearing
after me. and. kept me so busy that I
had to fight as hard as knew how
to save myself from getting licked In
the sixth round I missed his jaw with
a right-hand hook punch, and caught
him on the head with my forearm,
breaking it and hung on till the bell
rang.
when I met him in the dressing
room the doctor was fixing him up,
and 1 found out that 1 had broken
three of his ribs in the third round with
my body punches. That is proof enough
to show that he is game and willing.
"Can he go twenty rounds?
well, he has gone that far, and
when a man is in good shape he can
go forty rounds if he don't get hurt"

Outside of the contestants themselves
the most interested man in Savannah
as to the outcome of Thursday nights
contest is Billy Farren, who is at pres
ent ill in this city.
When asked yesterday as to who he
thought would win the fight, Farren
said: That is a hard question to an
swer. 1 have boxed both men, Miller
three times and Thompson five times,
and know that both can fight. The
men are well-matched in weight, but
Miller will have the advantage in hight
and reach. This will give him a shade
for it is hard 10 reach a man who
can keep you off with long left hand.
Miller is a clever fellow, and is
shifty on his feet-more so than one
would think-and can stand the gait.
When l boxed him l hit him good and
hard on the body and head, but 1
could not tire him; he has a way of
blocking and letting you come at him,
and then opens up and give you a
warm time.
''Thompson's style is the opposite
from Millers. He fights open and
comes to you anxious and willing to
mix it, and the harder you hit him
the faster he comes. He is a hard
fellow to make back, for he is strong
on his feet.

sticky. White could not navigate, but
Brennan, a fiat-footed sort of fellow,
got around with ease and wore his
rival down.
In Minneapolis Charlie Gleason, a
good fighter of the past, met a youth
named Webb. AS they came across
the stage a calcium light f1ared up,
and it's blaze caught Webb full in
the face. AS he blinked, owl-like, in
the glare, Gleason shot home a straight
right and won the shortest battle on
record-about three seconds.
It will be remembered that John c.
Heenan, when fighting John Norris
sey, had all the better of the fray I'M
till aiming a hard punch at the other
fellow, he hit a post full tilt and
crushed his knockles thus spelling his
right hand and ultimately losing the
verdict.
These are only a few instances
which show how large part pure ac-
cident and the interference of mani
mate objects have often played in COM
bats of the ring. They go to prove
that mere strength or splendid SKILL or
even the two combined, may not al
ways win, and that even bullhead luck
is not always proof against an OBJ
iect in the surrounding scenery.

sport of kings the most perfect sea-
son of racing that was ever arranged
for in Georgia.
Many causes have operated to Sa-
vannah's benefit in securing some of
the highest class of horses now in
training. Large numbers of owners
were attracted down South by the
prospects of thirty days continuous
racing in the state, going to Atlanta
first, then to Macon and on to Sa-.
Vannah. 1t is true that many of the
horses that started in Atlanta will not
stop over at the Macon fair, but all
of them will come to Savannah.
Z The size of the purses that will be
offered here is the same as was offer
ed in Charleston during the EXPOSE
ton In Atlanta the purses were
$3.50 for each event, the same as is
o1fered here, except in some instances
where there was some added money.
AS soon as Manager Hull returns to
the city he will make an effort to
have donations made for handicap
events, which will add greatly to the
sport and will also be a source of
interest to the horsemen.
Never before has Savannah held n
race meeting where there were none
but running events. The light har-
ness races have never met with pub
lie approval, and have only served to
lessen the interest in the running
events. Also, harness races have been
expensive. and have never brought the
returns that running events have.
That the coming meet will be a sue
cess no one doubts, and all Savannah
will turn out to witness racing that
will not be one whit less interesting
than that at the big tracks in the
North. The track is the same. The
crowds will be typical of this section,
with sprinkling of the foreign ele-
ment that follows the horses. The
scenes in the grand stand, where fash
ion will blossom as a great flower will
be the same. The same sun, whose
rays no longer burn, but are soft and
genial, will light the scene with a gold
en- November glow. Strains of martial
music will enliven the intervals, and
inspire the imagination the same as is
done at classic Sheepshead or historic
GraVesend. Diminutlve jockeys, gaily
attired in the silks of their respective
stables will strut about the paddock
and thump their mounts to heart
breaking finishes, Just as they do in
the East. And after all, there will be
only one difference-the appearance of
the lauded stars of the running turf.
