Show BROTHERLY LOVE AMONG THE BR1TTS "Willie Tells What a Great ULan I Jlmmio Is, and What He Will Do to Corbett. Brotlicrly love and prldo will llvo oven among prlzo fighters, as will bo shown by tho following story on tho Brltt brothers, broth-ers, ocnt out from San Francisco: Manager "Wllllo Brltt has spoken, and when he speaks ho emits a How of words that makes a Fourth of July orator look llko a novice. Thero Is nothing Wllllo likes to talk about bettor than prlco fighting, and enpeclally when his big brother "Jeoms" figures. It Is needless to say that Wllllo will r'ondlly acknowledge that Brother Brltt Is tho grontest fighter of his Inches tho world hns ever seen, and this does not bar Kid Lavlgno or Frank Krno or Joo Gann when they wcro at their beat. ".WciL .what did sou think of; Brltfa i fightY" quizzed tho young manager, biting bit-ing off tho end of a two-bit perfecto. "Wasn't it a boaut? Oreat head work that bov showed Great I Just think of tho condition he was In for twelve rounds. His right hand his best hand broken, but ho nover faltered on inch. Ho told me that whenever ho hit Corbett with his right after tho eighth round ho thought his arm would fiy into tho gallery." "But didn't Jimmy put In some pretty stiff raps with that right for a lighter who was packing a broken bono?" remarked re-marked tho writer. "Yes, ho used his right aftor ho broke It," continued Willie, "but ho never hit straight out with it as ho hid boforo he snapped tho bone. Ho used a sort of overhand over-hand blow, whioh were less painful than straight Jolts, If this tiling had not happened hap-pened Brltt would have finished Corbett In tho eighth round, nnd thero Is nothing to that. Ho had JUBt begun to cut out tho fighting whon this accldont had to happen. Just how Brltt broko his arm I am not pure, but I think it was on Cor-hctfs Cor-hctfs head, I lmow, Corbstt tried to broak; it by slamming hla left into It, but 1, don't n think ho succeeded Ho knew Jimmy had broken It onco before, and ho . wanted to crack it again." "When Is Brltt going to glvo Corbett fg . another fight?" m J. "Now, that would Ikj telling," returned iu the manager, with a smile. HP; fj "But ho Is going to glvo him one all IflR- JJ right, and ho will glvo Corbett a fight jV fl sooner thnn the publla think ho will. And tf.. AM when ho fights him next time Mr. Corbett K'u'iB will never go to the limit with him, for U Ifea!! there is anybody Jimmy can beat it is mmt'A this man. But Jimmy will not sign nrtl- wMeAW cles right now with Corbett. Ho would be tWwMW a sucker to. Thero nro financial reasons lpr-JIJ that stand in the way. Brltt Is getting y offors to go with shows from all parts ol I tho Bast. Only this morning Jhi Ken- I muu ncdy of Is'ew York offered him $400 a week I k for ten wecka to travel on tho road Ed kWW die Plerco of Boston nloo made him h 'lpH sweet offer, but Jimmy la not going to tl ifl)H up with anybody right awny. All offers lfl will receive, careful consideration bcfor jfH he does anything." IIH |
