CHAPTER XIV. rriUE public, which had been clamor- I Ing for a fight between Corbett and Fltzalmmons. was only stirred to greater Insistence by accounts of our experiences in Texas and Arkansas, where we were balked by determined Governors. All the time the public clamored all tne more loudly for a battle. There was no law on the statute books of Nerada against boxing, but experience had taught us that this meant nothing. However. Dan Stewart, no whit discouraged, went to Carson, and In some clever way rot next to the Governor, who was a big ft Dutch man, and persuaded lilm to a"k us to come to that state far the contest. This was about eight months after the Hot Springs fiasco. Corbelt's Attitude Chaasee. We entered Into another agreement, but this time I did not get the moving picture rights. Stewart, by the new contract, was to build an arena at Car son with a seating capacity of I0.O0O. and to arrange for the pictures. He was to get 60 per cent of the profits on ail privileges and contests, and the re mainder was to go to Corbett and Fits. Simmons, share and shsre alike. Corbett, his miner. Oelaney and the rest of his retinae started fur Carron about a month before the event. nd began to train at a little hotel three miles out of tow n. Suddenly I began to notice a change In Corbett. He who had always been so Intelligently re ceptive of the suggestion and wisdom of those in whoso skill he had confi dence became untractable. He became Impatient of suggestion or opposition. Ho wanted to run things his own way. He refused to follow the sdvlce of Delaney, who knew him so well, but Instead acted on the advice of Judge Luwlt-r, an old California friend, who had come to the training quarters, and who knew as much about boxing as a child. During his training he shifted from the methods which he had found so serviceable. 1 honestly believe Cor bett lost his chances by the way he prepared himself for battle. If I were a superstitious mm I might give undue weight to the following in cident as a bad omen. Just before Cor bett had met Sullivan and while he was In training he bought a collie for flO. a wonderful pugnacious dog, which would tackle anything. There was one thing on earth the dog Ned loved, and only one. and that was Corbett. And Jim loved the dog for all his bravery. Ned always slept nt the end of his muster's bed, and If anybody approached the room he would give a terrible growl, in a woru, no was Corbett's protector. Doc Protects Fight". Ned was Corbett's constant com panion during training for the Sulli van fight, and went with him to New Orleans. Then he traveled everywhere with his victorious master, and made his appearance on the stage with him in. the training scens In "Gentleman Jim." . . Jt was Ned s growls that arouses tnr camp one night when Corbett was training for the Mitchell fight to the fact that some persons naa enmoea up next to Corbett's room. It looked a If they were there to malm or hurt Corbett. In fact, when they were dis covered and shot at they shot bsck. Of course, Ned was the hero of the affair. When he went to burope Jim loaned Ned to John W. Norton, and he re mained with that gentleman until Nor ton died. When Corbett wont to Carson lie tor- got all about Ned, partly from the fact. I suppose, that his brother Harry had brought from Han Francisco a beau tiful, full-blooded collie for whom Jim had now conceived a deep aiiociion. Not knowing this. I thought It would be a good Idea to take Ned with me when I should Join Corbett at carson. I nld Ned's cmpnaei across tne con tinent in the baggHge csr, took good care of him and anticipated great pleas, ure In Introducing him to Corbrtt again. 1 found Jim sitting with the beautuui couie aog in m rnriniialv leslous. sprang at the throat of tha dog who hsd supplanted him In his old master's affection, and they had a terrible row until Corbett savsgely pulled them apart and klcaea jea out of the door Into the deep snow. Ned's Fate fulfill. That nlaht Corbett. who slept In a cottage opposite the little uoiei wnere we were training. tooK tne come ana went to bed. and the next morning, out side of Corbett's door, with his noie on the sill, was Ned frozen sum aiiu Corbett lost the fight It became necessary wniie wa were at Carson to get some young fellow who could ' rough Corbett aoouu i ne mn we nad were siaie anu miw v.ui - bett's tricks, and Delaney thought It advisable to get somebody to coins up there and be a sort of punching bag for the champion a man who could stsnd his punches. The trainer said he knew a young man In Han Francisco who would exactly suit the purpose. So hs telegraphed on. and two days later James J. Jeffries got off the train and became part of the camp. Jeffries and Corbett used to fight vlcloufly every day. and the new arrival could take all that "Pompadour Jim" could give him, which did not suit the older man at all. Yarns were published In the news papers about Corbett knocking out Jef fries In practice, but no such thing ever occurred. There was something about this punching bag. Jeffries, that mads me and Delaney observe him carefully. We saw that he was a "comer," and I at once made a proposition to take him East with me, but he did not want to go. The preparation for the taking of moving pictures of this fight was next on the programme. A great big rough house was built, and four cameras In stalled, so that If one broke down the others could operate. This was the first time that machines were caUed In to take pictures of any great event the beginning of It all Just an experiment and nobody knew whether the cameras would work. In fact, in the last round the camera did break down at the most unfortunate moment, and failed to get a picture of the blow with which Cqrbett was fin ished the one which Fltxslmmons made famous as tha "solar plexus blow." At the time of the event the place was fuU of notables. Senator John J. Ingalls, of Kansas, was there as a spe cial writer, and It was very amusing to see this very distinguished man as he sat In a box with Mrs. Fltxsimmons. who was constantly loudly coacfilng ber husband in terms of the ring. At the sound of the bell Corbett be gan punching and Jabbing with his left, which waa very effective, and for six rounds made a fool of his opponent. lu the slx:h Corbett landrd on Fltx simmons and knocked him down. Fltx simmons took the count. After the fight waa over we claimed that he was down longer Ihsn It see onds, and that William MuMoon. whs was the referee. Iivored him si tint point. But we did that for effect. The truth of the matter Is. Fltaslmmont was not badly hurt In this round, and Dimply did what all experienced bosere do took the benrm of nine full sec onds before getting up. Then Coibett. In his endeavor t knock lanky Bob out. fousht hlmpell out. errd the men returned to their ror. nera Fltsslmmons recuperated very quickly and was himself again at the beginning of the seventh round.
