New York, July lizard training
in the rival camps Of Ro bert Fitzsim
mons and philadelphia Jack" OBrien
Is almost over. Today and tomorrow
the two great fighters will do only the
light work that is necessary to keep
the lungs clear and mus Giles mp to the
required pitch OF elasticity
Both are fit and fine, and the only
thing watched with anxiety now Is
the weather bulletin The fight will
be held tomorrow night in the Phila-
delphia bah park, under the open sky
This is suspicious for FitGsimmons.
II was under similar circumstances
that he met and whipped James j.,
CorbeIt al Carson. Nevada, in 1887
and took the championship of the
world from the conqueror of John l..
Sullivan
That battle was under the blazing
sun. Snowstorms had prevailed right
up to the morning Of the fight.
Then as il by magic the sky clear
ed. the snow was swept from the
arena. and the fight went on. Two
hours after its conclusion the ele
ments, as it angered by the defeat OF
the western ch ampion, turned loose a
bowling blizzard.
This fight in Philadelphia will be
under the glare of electric lights. with
The stars overhead instead OF the daz-
zllng sunlight But it will be the first
time that FitzsimElons has fought in
the open since the affair that won him
the highest honors of the ring.
Yesterday was hot day in the
camp of the man of many titles. 1t
was hot for Fitzsimluons and it was
hot for the spectators, but II was
hotter still for big, black Bob Arm
strong. If Freckled Fftz lands on the
agile O'Brien as he landed on Arm
strong there win be wailing and
crashing of teeth in Qulakerdom.
Il guess my hands are all right,
grinned Fitz when the work was fin.
lshed
There will be very little difference
in weight between O'Brien and Fitz
simmons. Philadelphia Jack" win
weight about ISL. and Fitz possibly
two or three pounds over that. The
latter has touched the middIeweight
limit twice during his training for his
fight. but he Is trying to keep his
weight as near the 165 mark as pos
sible by drinking all he can.
Jack O'Brien has been training
quietly down at Wildwood on the Jer.
sey shore. Although he has been
working hard. he has maintained a
barrier of secrecy about his training
camp. But there is no doubt that he |
viii be fit for the battle. He always |
is. O'Brien is one of the hardest and |
most conscientious workers in the |
lighting profession, and he never goes |
INTO the ring with dangerous rival |
without getting into fine shape as pos |
sible. He has directed all OF his en- /
orgies toward getting as much speed /
as possible. There are few men who |
can stand and exchange punches with /
Fitzsimmons. and 0'Brien is wise /
enough to know that he is not one OF |

, them. His chance of winning VIII de
pend upon his ability to outtoot F1tz
jabbing and tearing and getting away
from the returns. He Is master OF a
lightning.like jab, and he hopes tc
wear Fitzsimmons down in two OF
three rounds, wearying him until he
will be easy target for a finishing
blow O'Brien can hit when the cir
cumstances are favorable.
And he has endurance to throw to
the birds. In his recent fight with
Mccoy he tired the Hoosier out and
was fresh at the gnish.
Is Fitzsimmons another Mccoy?
Jack OBrien says that he is.
Charles White, prize fight referee
and politician, says that the Fitzsim-
mons-O Brien fight will be one of the
fastest fights of big men seen in this
country in years.
"The fight is between the young
star and the grand old gladiator
should make splendid mill, and /
am only sorry that it is not going
further than six rounds. without a de
cision Mt that" said the great referee
Both of these men are grand light
ers in their different ways, and they
should make a fine show
AS it is my business TO judge re
suits and not forecast chances, | am
hardly in a position TO say what |
think about the prospect for decis
i've victory for either man, but | will
say this much
IF Fitz is the man that he was
when he fought Jeffries the last time
he will knock O'Brien out
Il think that Fitzsimmons is in
way the greatest fighter that ever
lived OF course, he was beaten by
Jeffries, but the big boile1naker is a
freak He is not fighter, but fight
ing machine, and IL is suicidal to
stand in front of him.
But Fitz. as light as he is by com
parison. has beaten many heavier
men He is a cunning ring general
and has a quick and dangerous punch
If age has not told too heavily by
now he will certainly stop O'Brien be
fore the end of the sixth.
"On the other hand, there are many
things in OBrien's favor. He is
young and ambitious, fast as lightning
a very clever boxer. with a good
punch. Don't let anybody tell yon
hat O'Brien has not fair punch. and
With II all he is a ring general of great
merit for man of his years"
He is six-round fighter. par excel
lence. II seems to me that he can
gauge his strength perfectly to 90
six rounds at his best and use all of ii
in that length Of time. and he is a
fairly strong man. He is shifty on his
feet and, as ! say, unless Fitz has all
lis old cunning and the speed and
snap TO materialize ii, he will never |
get to the clever Philadelphia with |
a hard punch.
That 0'Brien is entitled to serious
with anybody at that |
weight is proved In his fights with !
Ryan and Mccoy But he has never |
zone long distance creditably with

that he might see some beauty some
where in life. This is IA rational middle
ground on which students OF the play
could afford to meet and discuss the
lbsen and kindred problems IN the
judicial spirit and with freed-from-nar-
row prejudice. There is significance
in the deep concern with which many OF
the best minds OF the community follow
this play and is indicative OF the change
that is coming in respect to Ibsen-or las
it was seen coming twenty years ago In
respect to Wagner) that the theatre was
crowded and that the representation
called forth extraordinary enthusiasum
Miss Nielsen is teacher by right OF In
tell ectual grasp and spiritual insight, as
such she is entitled to fair hearing
when she runs counter to the popular
current as she did for some years In the
determined adherence to an advocacy OF
Ibsen.
This newspaper has found in that au-
thor much inspiration well calculated TO
inspire one with dreams OF beauty, but
the open minded observer cannot afford
to overlook or pooh-pooh the obvious and
insistent fact that here where there has
been little invitation TO losenlsm, a
PLAYER of Ibsen achieves truly memoir
ial triumph. Miss Nielsen combines
subtlety with histr;onic facility OF ex'
pression and while the character Is IN
lovely and not we'll calculated for sym
patty, her art is SO fine and true, sc
compelling an d life-like that the specta
tor involu ntarily sets aside personal feel
ing and surrenders to admiration OF the
immense cleverness with which she EN-
bodies a self-centered. heartless anc
cruel woman. 1t is positive fact anC
a general verdict that no more interest

known here this season.
