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

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
