THE FIGHTERS TEMPERAMENT
How Pugilists Feel and Act Prior |
to Contest.

From the New York Sun.
Just how some pugilists act and feel
prior to entering the ring for an i'm
portant contest are questions that have
been repeatedly asked, but never prop
erly answered. Usually to inquiries of
this nature the scrapper will reply that
he is enjoying the best of health and
feeling as fine as silk" But if the
truth be known there are very few who
do not fret and worry over the outcome,
even though they are champions whose
rivals appear to be easy victims. Ac-
cidents are liable to happen, and pugi-
lists are aware of this.
Many fighters try their utmost to
conceal their real condition and appre-
hension before a mill. They will do all
sorts of things to mislead their init
mate friends and even their trainers.
They will feign happiness, joke and
convey the impression that the whole
world is sunshine to them. when at
the same time they are brooding and
doing some hard thinking over the
coming encounter.
Probably no pugilist in the ring to-
day is more Indifferent to the termina-
ton of a fight in which he is to be a
principal than Young Corbett. He is
apparently as cool as an icicle. Moth
ing seems to bother him. He takes his
chair with Indifference and does not
know exactly what he is going to do
until he faces his man. Often fighters
plan their course of battle days ahead.
They map out their line of action even
in their sleep This increases their
nervous tension, and often undoes
weeks of faithful training Even at
that, when they get inside the ropes
they forget all about their planning
and fight by instinct alone. So all
their worrying and fretting is for
naught Corbett says that while he
always is anxious to win, he does not
enter his mind.
When l take my chair I am obliv-
ious to everything and everybody save
the man before me- said Corbett.
Whats the use? 1t won't do you any
in my ability to win, and so l go ahead
ped, we'll. 1 have one consolation, and
that is that others have met with a
similar fate: that 1 did the best
more about the game than myself. My
indifference to defeat had a great deal
to do with my winning the champion
ship from Terry McGovern. Gee, you'd
think I'd had a swelled head the way
/ figured to my friends before the
fight how l would beat McGovern
They all laughed at me, but could not
help but admire my confidence. Many
ing for the mighty Terry. Even my

brownsville, Ca, Sept. 23.-Thomas-

Every train brought hundreds of peo-
pie and thousand vehicles brought
in the nearby farmers.

held in the open air at Paradise Park

1t was of much interest to the fra
ternal societies under whose auspices
the affair was given.
Senator A. S. Clay, Senator A. o.
Bacon and Congressman James NJ.
Griggs all made short talks. None Of
them touched on any political subjects.
Their addresses were devoted to a dis
cussion of the material progress and
prosperity of South Georgia. They an
nounced their intention of returning at
a later date to discuss the issues of
the day and political meeting with
these three gentlemen as speakers is
a possibility of the near future. Messrs.
Bacon and Clay left at 4:30 this after
noon for cambridge where they will
speak tomorrow. Congressman Griggs
returns to Dawson tomorrow.

that an earthquake would not have dis
turbed him that night.
Jim Jeffries is not nervous before a
fight. However, he shows good deal
of concern for his opponent at the
time the match is made and before he
has started training. This may be due
to the fact that when out of condition
his nerves are not so strong. After
Jeffries has signed for a fight he will
talk over the encounter with his friends
and ask their opinion as to the ability
of his prospective rival.
Il ought to beat him quick. don't
you think SOP" or He is a good man,
but think I ought to win, don't your
are some of the questions he offers.
But on the night of the combat JEFF
fries is an entirely different man. The
champion always trains faithfully No
matter whether his opponent may ap-
pear to be dub, he will work just as
hard as if the man he is going to meet
is a champion. When Jeffries fought
Jack Munroe the other night he chew
ed gum. When he entered the Coney
Island Athletic Club to fight Bob Fitz-
simmons for the championship in 1899,
one would have thought he was going
out for a drive instead of facing the
best man in the world up to that time.
He came through the box office of the
club wearing flaring red sweater and
golf cap. He was as Indifferent to
everything and everybody as if he
were present to witness the fight.
When asked that night as to what he
thought of his chances he carelessly
said:
Il think l will win. If don't l
won't make a holler, that's all. +"
Nothing seemed to disturb him, and
the vast crowd marvelled at his self
control and lack of emotion. In an
swer to a query from a friend once as
to how he could control his feelings so
well before a fight the brawny boiler
maker simply answered.:
81 can't exactly explain it, but it is
my nature. L have been that way since
a kid. 1 was never afraid of anything
or ANYBODY. 1 wouldn't get ratified if
fellow placed the muzzle of a gun
before my nose, and a few have been
pointed there. A fight does not feaze
me. l don't care if they carry horse
shoes in their gloves or wear armor.
If 1 thought could whip them 1 would
not mind taking a chance. 1t is not
because L am the champion or because
am big and strong. Neither is it be-
cause I am always confident. l know
fighters who had high opinion of their
ability and who were very confident,
yet very nervous when they entered the
ring. The only explanation 1 can give
is that it is my nature. / don't worry
and never let anything annoy me. 1
couldn't Go it even if 1 tried
The late Peter Jackson was a nerv-
Gus man at the time of a fight. His
first manifestation of concern asserted
itself an hour or so before the contest
began. Jackson believed in stimu-
lants and always drank a glass of
brandy. Joe Choynski would not re-
