FITZSIMMONS OIVES
BT ROBERT FiTZ81MMONV a
Well I bar fought a good many flghl
and havo cnooontartd many great fight-
er but Jeffrie In my opinion. I thai
greatest tighter la the world and the bos
b an I fever fought. WO will 'hav to put
htm In a class all by. himself fur Ms
great physical advantages make hint aU
most Invloclbl. H Is th greatest fight
r aad baa a mighty good punch.
"Now as for th cleverest fighter Cer
bett earrtod of f th honors for science.
Ton know I don't Ilk Corbett. X never
did. but poo tai U glv th devil hi
due so I will put Corbett down anba
cleverest man' I ever faced in th' tins.
Ho- waa very. a4-rhig genaral and he

th palm of bis hand to my hoe and
shoved It bark. Thls brousht th blood
streaming from my hoar and mad it bp-
pear as though I wa badly cut up. But
I atlll had my strength and waited toT
the opportunity to work my shift.
The greatest slugger that I aver fooght
Wa Tom Sharkey. Ther I a fellow
Wh Just missed being a wonderful fight-
er. The sailor wa Just thcopposite Id
Corbett. I don't say bs waa in any way
an Unfair fighter but he simply threw
acleno to the wlnda and depended n-v
tlrely upon hi great strength to carry
htm to victory. It was his habit to oome
in
siam-oang. vj don't think b over
knew Just wher h waa going ta land.
He simply let go and If hla opponent
wasn't clever enough ta get away It waa
all off with him. I never -considered
Sharkey easy gam although I put itlm
out In two rounds. A slugger Is always
dangerous eapeclallly when a has a waV
lop like Sharkey. - . ;
The easiest fight I ever hod with a big
man was with this fellow Dunkhorst th
human freight car A funny thing about
this fight was that I hit th hardest blaw
I ever landed on an opponent whon I
walloped Dunkhorst. He weighed
pounds. I knew I could beat him but I

AN EXHIBITION OF ARCHERY.-By . Herrlman.
on Mm. landing th left hand In tho
stomach with such great foro that my
hand sunk deep Into nls body. It was a
awful punch harder than I hit Corbett
Jefferiea or any other tighter. I could
feel the Jar and Dunkhorst doubled up
like a jackknlfe and toppled over to th
floor. It was some tlm before he re-
rnvered. I bellev It was ths second
blow that f landed. Tho tint was a light
lead lust to feel him out and It worked
well
' I hav a good reeofleotion of all my
fight and I know th weight ef every
fighter blow. Tliat's on thing every
fighter ran remember when he Is hurt.
There ar two particular w alloc that I
remember very clearly. On was a punch
landed by rphoynskl on. tho jaw and th
other wa a punch In th stomach landed
by Jeffrie in our last battl at 'Frisco.
It may seem-trang so "many but f
hsva always considered .Jo CWnak!
onefef th hardest hltteriin tri ring.
- That other wallop that Jeffrie landed
was Indeed a sore blow v I bad all the
beet of tho fight' having -etrt Jeffrie up
badly -about the eyes and face.' I felt'
that another blow would put him out. !
He had beon bringing hla left hand up
from a position at ma aide and I had
prepared to block It. But thl Urn he
raised his hand high above hi head and
making somewhat ot a drel ha brought
teniflo blow for I felt the -effects of it
for a long time. I ley ew ah floor trying -to
get up but my limb . refuMd to up-i
port me. ---'. -(
I said to niyself.v'Tooted by my own
Wow." It wa tb Mar pleaus blow that
wca sne the ohsmntanahtn nA 1 i4mV( hsM
liev Jeffrie really knew what h waa.
A Strang thing about tot fight gsmo
I that It la -difficult for a spectator to
tell when a flgnter gets hurt by a blow.'
The best evidence of this la that Jeffries
slmost put m out one and dldnt know
it.-; Whllo w war giving an eshlbltton '
i vve on nignt. Jetrrtee . lanaed a
swing on my tempi. The effect of th
blow glued me to th ground. I wa'

Jeffrie. 1 1 heard nm say "The ld man

Ut. Pays says furthert' "An or a
sheep when brought to th shambles
represent food value of so much per
pound and eells fog about per cent
more than H to to fit R for the mar-
ket. Every am bird animal or fish
taken by any eltuna also represent a
good value ot o much per pound; but
whauvao that value Is it la tog . per
ont. profit for It ooeu nothing of th
ptoductlv tnergy of tb Stat 14 pro-
duce It But unlike the ox or th h"P
or the chicken it ha atso anutiu-r
Value greater by far the Its Value as
aa article ot food. President Ruowvett
than whom there are but few mot f ir-
secing statesmen remarked upon scorn a;
th carcass of a deer hanxtng In one of
th market of New lord city: 'lhal
deer aa an article of enmmere la worm
pot mors than 4 t the man who
killed It but so long as It was running
wild In th Adirondack It waa worth tu
th people of the wimi Stat fully tuuo.'
This to com ot you may eem a
Strang assertion but when you under-
stand that for every deer killed tn th
Adtrondacka there Is spent by those who
hunt them not lea than with th
railroads sta lines livery atablua ho-
tel and guide and thnt thla money
finally gas to the' employes of theeS
roads ' Slugs lines; livery stables bot.tls
and restaurant and to those from
whom they purchase supplies the argu-
ment Is perfectly clear.
"Kven In California wher dear ' ar
much mors plentiful than in th Adlron-
deck. It la estimated by those wbo ar
conversant with th Mtuatlon that for
very deer killed In our own hill there
I spent on the vcrg" by time who
hunt them fully ISO. This Is also true
In a lesser extent with our game birds
snd fish. Ths larger share of thl
money l spent by th well-to-do sports-
man and la th end fully N per cent
of It finds Its way. Into the pocket ot
the wage earner.
' "Th H;0o spent by the snortsmeft
of California Is spent only because tliers

man's pleasure it i true but he pay
