AT first I followed instructions In IX sparring with Corbett and tried JtjL, the blows they told- me Fit slmioons used. Bat I never could get the knack of It so that I felt right ii- letting the bunches go. Every - man has his own Instinctive style of fighting. . Ftzslmmous had his. and It wasn't like mine at all. It was a style designed to fit his own build. Fltzslin mons had Hht, tbin rgs and narrow : hips. ' Be stood lu a knockkneed post COBBXTT AND I WEKT OCT CVRRT DAT roa a Tire or twelve 1111.B .spin. tion,- His shoulders were very wide, and he had a long reach. Everything about bis build helped blui to plvot-at the hips' and knees and swing bis whole body Into the blow. My style was different. I didn't need to pivot .like Fltzslninions. All I did was to Itlck my left arm out like a piece ol scantling and let tbeoi try to run luto me. 1 could hold them off with the left aud could bit a bard blow wltb my arm nearly straight, swluglug It a . few Inches like a club. I could whip that arm tluwu to the body 'In a good stiff punch and plunge In wltb It. And the right I used for a good dig Into the body wheuever 1 cauieto close quar ters. 1 crouched a Utile, aud my chin - was partly protected by uiy left shoul der. When I begau Using more of my own style I did better, and especially after I had begun to try to equal Cor bett's fust footwork.' That, I thluk, was about tbe most Important thing 1 learned from Jim Corbett " ;''.'s Ou of tbe first things I noticed when 1 beguu span-lug with Corbett was that unless 1 could find Corbett a toes 1 might as well throw a stoue at flying duck as try to bit htm. Wbeu ws first boxed be was as bard to reach as a shadow. 1 soon grew tired of wasting my blows on the air and de termined to force my way to close quarters before letting go a single punch. K 8o I went after hint steadily . while be Julibed.uud hooked and dime ad away. , At litst In closing 1 struk my toes Hgnlimt his nnd. lunging st the same moment, uiunuged to. get boms a good vyhai k ou but libs. As soon as I started lorward again I tried the same trick, feeling around for blui wltb tbe lueft of my left foot ant then hooting out one hnud or the other. As soon as I felt blui I knew be must be within striking distance. White laughed at me after that round aud ' asked me If 1 was trying to step on Corbett's feet to bold him there so be couldn't get sway, but 1 kept my own counsel Corbett knew wbat I 'Was doing, as 1 could see plainly, for when we boxed again be took rare to keep shifting about rapidly to confuse dm. Tbe part of tbe tralulug that I liked best was tbe work ou tbe road. I ner er tired of that. Corbett nnd I, some times with the other spnrrlng partners trailing along, went out every day for , a ten or twelve mile spin. BoinMlinet we walked and run alternately; some times 1 rsu tbe whole way at an easy trot, flnlablng with a 200 or 300 yard apart ss we came near tbe band!a!l court. Jim Corbett was very proud of bis running ability, and naturally I ran even wltb hlin at tbe flnts al though there never was a day wheo I couldn't hs left him fsr behind. -inily Delnney thought that Corbett nervousness than be gamed by the bard work. ' Fitxslmmona.'they told as, finished bis training a few days before the scrap and spent the rest of bis time chopping wood and patting a Iron shot with the ranchers . who came around to see htm box. " Only a few more days stood be? tween as and tbe great event ' The hundred or so of newspaper men gath ered In Carson ware on tiptoe for some new sensation. Tbey had written np everything from Corbett's food sched ule to tbe way no pnisnea nis nair, and tbey were always around looking and listening and asking questions of everybody. A certain bunch of these reporters from a Ban Francisco news paper had tbe Inside track in a way, Corbett having accepted an offer of J $5,000 for exclusive Interviews. ; One of these men On a dull day thought up a scbem to make good story. Ho proposed to Corbett that be take a run over Fltzslmmons' road and meet the Australian face to face. Corbett had no objection to looking at Fltzslm mons. Every day Kltz's ran took blm from Cook's ranch, where be was training, down past the big sone buildings of the state prison. ,. . So It was fixed up that Corbett.was to visit the prison quietly In the morn ing Jnst about the time Fits would be out on bis run. With Homer Daven port, tbe cartoonist, and a couple of writers In a rig. Corbett add I started. ; It all came out right. After awhile we saw FitApiminons' head bobbing np and down in the distance. - He came running along, swinging a stick lb his band. As he reached us be started to go by without paying any attention to our party. But the reporters called to him, and he-stopped. Corbett and Fltz slmmons were face to face. If any thing the Cornlahnian was tbe cooler of tbe two. 1 knew that they had, met before la the east and tlmt they were bitter euemies. They hardly looked at ea?h other now until one of the writ ers said, "Shake hands, gentlemen." . , " Corbett held out his hand. . But Fltzslmmons stepped quickly back and refused. "Last time 1 offered to shake hands wltb you." he said, '"you struck me In tbe face. The only time I'll shake with you now Is after I've whipped you." s, ; TThen you'll never shake wltb me, said Corbett. flushing up angrily. "This Is your lost chance.". . For a moment It looked as If tbey would come to blows right there on tbe road, and I thought I'd see a good fight. But the others Interfered. Fit slmmons yut on his way. and we kept on to the prison. . ... , Corbett wss in a rage. "He'll shake bands after be'a whipped me, will he?" be growled. - 1 .':'.. . ' : .: Fltzslmmons made quite an impres sion on me that day. He looked like a light man to figbt for the heavyweight championship, for, although bis shoul ders were nearly as broad as my own any one could see at a glance that be was Just a mass of wiry sinew from bead to heels, ..with no big. muscles worth mentioning. . And yet , be bad knocked out a lot of good men In a punch or two, and be was a cool fel low, who evidently liked to fight. Fit was a funny combination of lighter and practical Joker. - Even over ul Shaw's we heard of bis pranks in tbe tralulug quarters. On this day, so I beard later, be continued his run to Carson and, going luto one of the tern porary newspaper ottlces there, spent half an hour trying to break all rec ords on a punching machine that tbey bad brought to-Nevada to try out tbe fighters with. And after that, when be saw a lot of photographers walllug for blm In tbe street, he tried to escape through the back window for a Joke, lost his balance and fell bead first Into MY STORY ' Or - - ii "i V .

F I seem td.be writing a great deal about this experience' in Carson let me explain that It was the most Important thing In my life up to tbo time 1 beat Bob Fltzslm mons nnd became a world's champion This time In Carson was tbe reul turn- lug point In my enreer, for It gave me knowledge and ambition. Corbett. as I suld somewhere be fore, wus a" nervous and hlli strung fellow. As the ' 17th of March ap proached he became more and more TBI I JOHN U SULI.rVAlf CHALLENGED WINNER.

So I wus lold to go out snd fight blm four rounds aa bard as I knew bow. Then I had the first real glimpse of Corbett's best work. He surely sur prised me, for I bad come to thluk be couldn't bit. Now he let roe come at him. timed me perfectly and drove bis right across to my Jaw-so hard Ibst I could bt-cr my teeth grinding aud my Jawboi.e snap In Ibe sockets.

' Corbet! seemed In bleb snlrlts. The whole camp was In a bustle. Scores of news paper men were flying nrouud from place to place and asking all sorts of questions. I ate a big breakfast and half nn hour later went out with Jim for a. stroll on the road. The fight was to begin at noon. It was to be to a finish. The moving picture machines were all ready. .The crowd was gather ing. 'Sporting men from all over tbe world . assembled ' there In Carson were gathering at the big new yellow pine arena that Pau Stuart bad built especially for tbe occasion. Among tbe spectators were to be John I Sulli van, Tom Sharkey. Jack'McAullffe and scores of other famous fighters. ; At the rlugshle snt weuty selected Nevada guu fighter, placed there by the sheriff because of threats from a San Francisco bunch that tbe referee, George Slier., would never live to get out of tbe ring If be gave a decision against Corbetf. , I'll pass the preliminaries, although every word spoken Is still clear In my pilud. even bow John U Sullivan, fut aud found bellied, rolled through tbe ropes aud ibullenged the winner, as) Ing at tbe end: "I think I have one good fight left In nie-yet I'm yours truly, alwsjs on the level, John L. Sullivan." Bob FliXHlmmons, his red face sblulni:' from tbo collar of his blue bathrobe, strutted up and down across tbe ring from us. stopping to test tlie rones wltb bis hands or to scraps his shoe on Ibe reslued can vas, and nil the time watching Corbett with light blue ryes that squinted half shut In the sunlight. Our champion psld no attention lo Kltz. " ' At Inst tlie waiting tlins wss op Tbe sun w;a at Its height when the bell dunged -..herply on the froty sir. and I,, with the other seconds, scrsm- bled dowu from the platform snd crouched behind Corliett's comer, star ing with attaining eyes to see the first blow struck. It wss not long In com Ing. Corbrtt. Ilsht ou his feet, 1r clod around KitzMmmons like a hawk The Corulnhman crouched panther-llks as If to spring when be saw an open Ing. After circling a moment Corbett flaahed In nnd Jablied Fltzslmmons on the month, and the fik'tit was oc. Fits, clinching a second, turned to where his wife sat In s box and nod ded to her enrouraningly. The flrst round " all fnt, pretty work, w ith no Very h"vy lil-nvi rtell sred. rach man Was trying to study snt the Other's, style. Each hiitl seen tbe other fight and was not to ic fool ed easily. Neither cared to lake a desperat chance. although ' mtzsiro- mons waa apparently tbe morf care less of tbe two. i " forbett danced and Jabbed tteadtly.; Fltzslmmons, bis face reddened iy tbs blows, only grinned aud - waited his chance. He wasn't one of thoss light ers who, like Corbett, gradually wore their men down. . He was a. terrific bitter, who won with a sudden i-nock- out : Corbett knew this, and Oe was wary as a fox. ' Ob, it was pretty the way they watched each other and measured each lead to the fraction of an Inch. At the end of the .ru Corbett danced back to his voriT. laughing, flushed and confldeut.:. Fi? stood up in his as if be didn't eO. care to rest himself by sitting (ljjwn. . And so tfie figbt wut alon Cor bett growing bolder, was gradually cutting and tearing at Fltzslmmons with left aud right as he found his openings. Fltzslmmons landed a bard blow on Jim's mouth, and I could see a grim look come over our champion's face for a moment. His lips bad been cut, but be would not show "first blood." He Jabbed at Fltz until a tiny stream of crimson trickled from bis nose and Hps. and then Corbett deliberately spit the blood from his own mouth. c . Fltzslmmons waa making a mistake, and Corbett could see it as well as any man at the ringside. Whenever he was hit hard the freckled lighter turned bis bead toward bis corner and grlnued at his wife to show her be was unhurt Each time that bi turn ed Corbett caught htm heavily wltb a Jab, but he didn't step In close, for Fltzslmmons wus notedly crafty, and It might be oue of bis tricks t draw the more clever man within raifge. In the sixth round that rapid fire of Jabs and short right banders to the Jaw began to tell. .The middleweight champion moved unsteadily on bis legs aud seemed worried. His face wus smeared with blood. Corbett was fightlug harder-bitting harder and more confidently. At last Fits step ped into a clinch, took a blow In the body aud slipped down to his bands and knees. There he sat up deliber ately on bis knees and cleared his throat of the blood that was strangling and sickening blm. He took the count of nine aud rose. Corbett had waited deliberately. Instead of rushing in wildly and trylug to beat Fltzslmmons down again In a hurry, 9s most fight ers do wheu they have a man golup. he took his time, feinted anj" Jabbed carefully while his enemy retTT?l away. We were Jubilant, but foxy old Billy Delnney. the veteran, called to Cor bett: "He' shamming. Jim. Look out."' Just then tbe bell rang, and Fltzslm mons. reeling to bis corner 1 like a drunken man. fell Into his chair. We were busy on Corbett lu an instant i but stealing a glance- across tho way I could see frantic towel waving In the corner across tbe ring. Evidently Fltzslmmons' seconds ' were flurried, In our corner Jim ant np straight laughing and cracking Jokes with bis friends at the side of the ring. He looked an easy winner. , . But wbeu tbe bell, rang for the be ginning of tbe seventh round Fltzslm mons sprang from bis cb;il like a flash, with no trace of groggluess now, and ran across the ring at Corbett so hard that Jim was almost caught uap plug in bis corner. . With this round Fltzslmmons stopped turning his head toward his wife and gave all his ntten tlon to fighting. He was strong nnd full of figbt agalu, . Whether lie was shamming lu that sixth round or Just naturally recover ed bis strength nobody but Fltzslm mons will ever know. In auy case he was a different man now. Corbett re alized It at tbe first clash. I could see the laughter go from bis lips and bis face turn to a dull gray. Tbeu be set bis Jaw grimly and wanton lighting, using every particle of bis wonderful skill to stall the rushing Cofulshman off and wear him down If be could Corbett didn't laugh and Joke lu Tils corner after that. Tbe affair had grown too serious, lie fought like asm man, and wuen r iizsiuimnn dropped blm In tbe fourteenth round wltb tbe famous solar plexus blow he crawled to the ropes across the ring and tried desperately to pull himself PRESIDENT J.
