WHY FTTz NfAY VIZ.
Sporting Authority Thinks 1t Matter Of
Ring GeneraIship.

Ring GeneraIship.

OH the coming Fitzsimmons-O'B rien

today.
Get F'itz into the ring in the right
shape and I viii tell you why I think

which about 1nicShips does not stand
grueling punishment. Again, in the
past his hands have not been equal to
the drive which his Well-trained and
well-developed shoulders put behind
them. From that stand O'Brien has as
much to worry over as Eitz does in the
matter of perfect hands when he steps
in the ring.
Wise as Jack O'Brien is. do not
think he has the insight that Fitz has.
and I think the blacksmith is too clever
for him in the matter of brain work.
O'BIien, like all fighters, is only too
willing to take a long chance to win a
championship.
This long chance may come in let
