THUMB NAIL FIGHT SKETCH
 NO

The heavyweight championship slip ped from the grasp of an American for the first time on St. Patrick's Day, 1897 when Robert Fitzsimmons, a landy Australian pounded James J. Corbett into submission in the four teenth round.
 This occasion was the first of it's kind at which moving pictures were taken. Both fighters enjoyed kine- toscope rights, as theNside money from the movies was denominated at that time.
 It was also the beginning of wo- mans entry into the role of spectator at ring contests The fight was held at Carson City, Nevada, and all of the newspapers made much over the presence of twenty women among the 4,000 seat holders. One of these wO- men was Mrs. Fitzsimmons who sat just behind her husbands seconds and encouraged him on to victory.
 The Australian weighed only 167 pounds, while Corbett entered the ring at 1SS. The champion foored the foreigner in the sixth round, but lacked the finishing punch.
 In the final round Fitzsimmons sprang from his corner furiously and planted his right glove over Corbett's heart. The champion staggered from the fierce blow, and Fitz tore into

Atlantic City, N. J., June Slack Dempsey was placed on a restricted diet today. His eating was reduced to two meals a day, breakfast and dinner. How long this will last de bends upon the speed and manner in which he takes off weight. The or der cutting DempSey'S eating was is sued following his enforced lay of from boxing due to the reopening of the gash over his left eye.
 When the champion is due to start the last hard and continuous training he will be permitted to partake of three meals a day, but until that time arrives the usual noon day lunch will be missing.
 Spectators who watched the cham pion workout yesterday gasped in as- toniShment at his terrific punching power and speed in shifting

No Worry On Weight.

Manhassett, N. Y, June S-Georges Carpenter is well aware of the fact that he will enter the ring on July 2 several pounds lighter than Jack Dempsey, but he doesn't worry about it.
 He has demonstrated to his own satisfaction, in sparring with Joe Jeanette and Paul Journee. that he can drop a heavy man with ease.
 Jeanette, who tipped the scales at 240 pounds, went down Monday af- tern'oon under the challenger's over hand right, and Journee, at 200 pounds, topples easy when Georges right connects. It is believed by his trainers that Carpenter has developed his knockout punch to a, point of per lection. And now, when the barn doors are locked, Georges is perfect ing his defense. He probably will wage a whirlvind offensive against Dempsey and his trainers realize that to make it effective he must be wary of the champions left.
 Georges is in the air when deIiv- erfng the short right overhanded blow and he Is working for a speedy. fecov- cry. knowing it is to be dangerous business to be caught off balance.
