Corbntt, With the Measurements of \Vin- ner H‘J'i Loser. The eiocutionary contest which has been raging between Robert Fitzsimmons of Australia. and James John Corbett of San Francisco for a couple of years has been settled by tho arbitrament of arms and lists. The result is that hereafter Fitzsim- mons will enjoy the distinction of writing “Champion Pugilist of the World” after his name. The contest, viewed from a, technical standpoint, was worthy of the reputations of the two principals. The story Of. the fight, the scenes preceding it and the-pre- dictions of the two gladiators follow. As will be Observed, at least one side was “a long way Off” in the matter of prophecies. CARSON CITY, March 17.—The center of activity this morning was the Arlington hotel, where the sporting men have been in the habit of congregating ever since the fight has been under way in the vicinity of Carson City. It was a wise man who rose from his bed curly and did a little leg work in the direction of the dining room for the sake of getting a breakfast. The hotel dining room is not large, and it will not accom- modate many at one time. The first ones to arrive were sure of their meals, but CORBETT AND FITZSIMMOXS COMPARED. along toward the fog and of the morning the hungry follower of the noble art of pugilism who showed up clamoring for his breakfast < ...'.it3 out Of the argument with an empty stomach and was forced to rush for the nearest. restaurant, and the restaurants of Carson City are not many, nor are they on a par with those of larger cities. The late arrivals were not many in number, however, for the large majority of the men who have come here to witness the fight were up early and after their breakfast in short order when they ap- peared in the office of the hotel. Most of them realized thata. fight at 11 a. m., with two other fights to follow, meant no lunch at noon, and they took no chance at get- ting a good meal at the outset of the day. By 8 o’clock the hotel office was crowded to suffocation, and for several blocks down , the street groups of .men stood, all in emu nest conversation, and the topic with near- ly all of them was the comparative merits of the two men. Around the hotel office Of Stuart the scene was one of lively bus- tle. The big blue chart of the ring was lying on the counter, and two men were» constantly engaged in selling seats and making the final arrangements for caring In front of the Office stood Dan Stuart, as cool in the climax in his work as he has been in perfecting the preliminaries. “This is my one chance to get even,” said be. “after the three years of hard work I have been through with all these fighters. It marks the beginning of the end of it with me, and I rather think that when this thing is over I will be out of the fighting business for good. I am not mak- ing any predictions regarding what I may do hereafter, but I do not think I will undertake any more fights.” St urn-t. Disappointed; Stuart expressed himself as being some- what disappointed at the attendance, which was smaller than he had been expecting, but be viewed the matter in the StOlCtll manner in which he takes all of his trou— bles. , The poolroom of Corbett 8.: Coleman, across the street from the Arlington hotel, was filled with men who were anxious to put their money on the fight. Outside of the poolroom many small bets were made, with Corbett the favorite at odds of nearly The mass of: the sporting men were with Corbett, many because they like him, and many because they dislike Fitz- simmons. The magnificent form shown by Corbett in his training and the some- what erratic manner in which Fitzsim- mons had gone through his work of prepa- ration. but which, it must be confessed, left him in as good condition as Corbett, also tended to keep down the amount of money on Fitzsimmons. - it ) Although many of the members of the ' l 3 camp at Shaw’s Springs were up at day- light, not a sound was allowed to disturb the silence until about 7- o’clock, when ‘ Corbett awoke. The big fighter hurried 3 through his bath and drossodnnd soon on- tered the parlor of the hotel, where his trainers and relatives anxiously awaited him. A cheery “Good morning, every- body” showed his temper to be in satis- factory condition. “How do you feel, Jim?” White anx- iously inquired. . ' “Fine as silk, Charley, old boy: never better.” And the champion slapped his ' groom on the back with a friendly energy which almost upset the stout New Yoflzer. White led Corbett to a window, where be carefully looked him over, paying particu- lar attention to the appearance of his eyes and questioning him as to how his lungs and throat felt. “You couldn't be in better shape,” was CORBETT AND EITzsmirONS FACE To FACE. the trainer’s verdict when the examination was over.‘ “ Your wind is perfect, your eyes clear, and you arc. fit in every way for the fight Of your life. ” Corbett declared he had had a splendid sleep and was. greatly rested and refreshed. He took a turn or two on the hotel veranda and then had breakfast. Before 8 o'clock Brady, White, Delaney and Corbett retired to thelatter’s bedroom for a finalconfcrencc. White did most of the talking, pi'cfucing his instructions with a. little oration in which,he pointed out that the “eyes of the world are on Jim” and “the supremacy of America in the prize ring depended on’ today’s battle between- an Englishman born and an American born.” Corbett Cautioued. ' White’s final instructions consisted alfl most entirely of admonitions to keep cool. He time and time again wni'ucd his man that angry rushes would insure the vic- tory to h'itzsimmous. “You must keep your temper, Jim,” he said, “and not be in too big a. hurry to put that follow out. Just; be cool and careful every minute you are in front of him. lie is expecting you to go at him like a. hull at a red blanket. and you must fml him. ” Delaney and Brady followed v. ith Lilk on Similar lines, and to all Corbett pumi- ised faithfully to fight carcfullyund coolly. He was warned particularly to look out for the work at close quarters. The conference closed with mutual ex~ pressions of confidence on the result and a rather solemn handshoking all around. By this time it was well on toward 9 o’clock, and Corbett began his dressing for the ring. His ring costume consisted of his usual white trunks and tight fitting shoes, be having decided to fight v'Ithout tights, despite the cold climate. for his trip to the nrenahe added the gray r "ockcd sack suit in which he had done his. train- ing, and his blue sweater, white and black checked outing cap and gray mixed bath robe completed his carriage costume, the robe being thrown around his shoulders. Corbett's Final Speech. “It is too late to talk now,” Corbett said as he stopped for a. moment before leaving his room. “The, time has now come when Fitzsimmons And I can finish our argument without talking. I don’t know how he feels about it, but I am very good just now. I am going to win the fight, and ,I am going to win it fairly. I have trained faithfully and have been well handled by my trainers. My condition is entirely satisfactory to myself and my friends. I itt/siunnons is in good shape, too, I am told, and [am glad he is, for I wish to win this fight strictly on its merits. I don‘t want to do any boosting now. I will do my talking aft-er the fight.” ‘I‘Evcrybody knows whether the man is 'in condition or not.” said Charley White, the head trainer, “and you can judge from that whether I am satisfied with my work. When I took hold of Jim, I said I would put him down at the ring side in as good shape as any man ever fought in, and I have kept my promise. As to his winning. Of course I believe ho will win. Fitzsim- mons is a great fighter, but Corbett is a greater one. and today he will prove that we have not overestimated-his ability.” “White expresses my sentiments exact- ly,” said Billy Delaney. “We are proud of the condition in which we have put our man, and we expect a few hours hence to be proud of the condition in which he has put out Fitzsimmons, for Jim. is going to win. ” Off For the Arena. The lumbering, three seated coachwhich for months has done duty in bringing vis- itors to the camp had been drawn up be- fore the hotcl veranda, the four horses eager for the start. “All ready!” said White. And Corbett ran nimbly down stairs and took his place on the back seat. White, with the collar of his red sweater turned ‘up to his cars, followed, and Brady, McVey, Delaney and Joe Corbett took the other seats. It was but a little later when the long bearded native who sat in the box yelled out to his horses. and the drive to the arena. began. A carriage containing Jef- ries, Woods and other attaches of the camp had already started, and a procession of the coach on the rwo mile drive through the little city and out to the arena. The Corbett party was rather quiet during the ride. Jim leaned comfortably back in the corner of his seat, no trace of excitement or uneasiness appearing Oi] his face. Joe Corbett and McVey were the liveli' est members of the party, but even they were more quiet than usual. Corbett was recognized when the , coach' entered the town, and he was encouraged by shouts from his admirers, and when the arena. was reached the crowds about it cheered loudly as the party left the vehicle for the dressing room. No time was lost in strip- ping the fighter and giving him avigorous rub down. After a. short rest he again donned his fighting costume, this time adding the belt which his wife had made ,for the occasion. 'It was of red, white and blue silk, with a green buckle. At one side hung a green silk rosette and streamer. Corbett drew his bat-h robe closely around him and sat down to await the call to the ring, exhibiting not the least nervousness.
