| rEPrCTAG TELEGRAM TO THE DrspArCH.t
CINCINNATI March 11.-W. A. Brady,
manager and backer of James j. Corbett,
was ripping open atelegraph envelope when
a correspondent met him this afternoon. A
broad smile wrinkled his face as he scanned
the inclosed telegram. "Corbett Is nearly
wild with Joy over the prospect of meeting
the big fellow" said Mr.. Brady. 'This
makes the fifth telegram 1 have received
from him since reached Cincinnati this
morning
''You never saw happier man than Cor
bett was when he received word that Sulli-
van would take him on for a match. The
critics, who have been spreading it broad
cast that there was too much Of the milk of
| human kindness and not enough of the
brute in Corbett's makeup for fighter,
should have seen the California boy. The
demon showed in his eyes then, and they
would have been convinced that he is a
prizefghter from the soles of his kangaroos
to the top of his derby"
'Ts there any danger OF Corbett failing to
get the balance of his stake money!" was
asked.
The Money All Right
'Not the slightest You do not think I
would be fool enough to post part of the
money, unless had the balance in sight"
said Mr. Brady. '.No, indeed, that would
be poor business policy to lose several
thousand dollars for few lines of adver-
tising. We will be on hand at the World
Office next Tuesday with the rest of the for
felt. And if it is imperative we will be
ready to make good the entire stake Of $10,-
900 side"
'Who will back Corbett in this fght?"
II will find part of the stake and several
wealthy members of prominent New York
athletic club will put up at least five of the
ten thousand. This is assured. Ten thou
sand dollals is big stake, but am willing
to make wager that there will be more
trouble getting the money in the camp of
Sullivan's followers than we will expert
ence. All of our stake is in sight at the
present moment"
"Will Phil Dwyer, the prominent turf
man. furnish any part of Corbett's money!"
81 don't know. We would be pleased to
have Mr. Dwyer with u.s. He has always
said he would back Jim against any man in
the world except Sullivan. I don't know
how he feels in regard to this match. Of
course he will be asked to go in with us,
and the chances are even that he will take
part of the stake"
lis it true that you have engaged Null
doom to train your mani"
''Not positively; we have not closed a
contract with Mr. Muldoon, but in all prob
ability he will look after Jim. We talked
the matter over while in New York, and,
while no deal was made, it was the under
standing that Corbett would do his training
with Muldoon."
Muldoon Will Train Him.
'When will Corbett begin to train?"
ssRight after the close Of his engagement
with my company. We will finish out this
week in Philadelphia and then go to Bos-
ton, Brooklyn and New York for week
stand. After that Corbett will 90 to Null
doon's farm at Belfast, n. Y, and stay
there during May, June, July and August.
I haven't the slightest doubt abou. the out
come if Corbet: will take care of himself"
"Why, has your man been drinking?"
"No, it isn't that. Jim never drank any
thing worth speaking about, but he likes to
go out and have a good time. He doesn't
take all the rest he should. spoke to him
about his training and taking care of him
self when this match was proposed, and it
made me feel good to see the interest he
evinced. Take care of myself said Jim,
excitedly, to me; well, you can bet I'll take
better care of myself than my trainers will
take care of me. A fight with the champion
of the world, why it's the chance of my life
and I'll not let it 60 by default. If I do
not come out of that ring the best man in
the world, it will not be because I was not
at my best. would train myself for such
a fight. That is the way Jim feels about
it.
Mr.. Brady went on to say that Sullivan
has lost his big hitting powers and that his
fight with Kilrain showed it. If John L.
had still been the wonderful puncher he
was, argued Mr.. Brady, he would have
killed Kilrain, because he hit him often
enough
