say ZbysZko. would have more trou-

might stall and dodge aud send IN his
unrrring jabs until the poles eyes

Ing at his Jaws would send aim under.

FitzsimmOns probably would have
been the lighter tu worry Gotch the

had the best chance 10 whip him.

chances are that SLOW music would
have been required without further
delay Corhctt would have furnished
Gotten no more than mild amusement
aud even Jcnrles AZ his best probably
could have cut loose only a couple of
wallops and then gone 10 tho mat and
certain defeat.
So In the unlikely event that any.
body should collar YOU and demand TO
