BOB HAS A
NEW RAP FOR SURE
PROPOSES TO PUT PHILADELPHIA
JACK TO SLEEP WITH A
RIGHT ON THE JAW.
New Blow Is Short-Arm Jolt and He Is
Training tc Put Pounds of Power
Behind lt-Jeffries Declines Offer
From Antipodes as Challenger of
Fight Winner.

san Francisco, Cal, Dec. Bob
fltzsimmons, in an interview, said: Il
am going to win my fight with Phila-
delphia Jack O'Brien next month by
knocking him out with a right to the
jaw. The blow will land when we are
at close quarters. L have won many
fights with that punch. 1t is a short
arm jolt, which, though it travels but
four or five inches, has all my strength
and weight behind it, and is a crusher.
When it reaches the point of the jaw
properly, there is nothing left to the
fight but the count of ten. This punch
will end Jack O'Brien's championship
aspirations as sure as he crawis
through the ropes and faces me-"
The Fitzsimmons-O 'Brien fight holds
the public attention here at the pres
ent time, and dope on both ends of the
battle is flying like sawdust in a saw
mill. From the general run of the con-
versation one is led to believe hat
O'Brien will LEAF off a slight favorite
in the betting; but this is mere con-
lecture, as no money is ever laid on a
fight until at least q week before the
date of the fight.

WOULD EXEMPT REPORTERS
AS COURT WITNESSES.

Senator Jackson of Woodbury. coun-
ty, Ia, according to reports, is prepar-
ing a bill which he will present to the
legislature exempting newspaper re-
porters from testifying as witnesses in
lawsuits, to be classed with lawyers,
doctors and priests. He argues that
newspaper reporters now play an i'm
portant part in the affairs of the world
and are given many secrets by public
men which they should be protected

that it would be as much a protection
to the persons giving news as to the
reporter and so should be made law.
