FITS Big WINNING.
The Fighter Makes a Satisfactory
Arrangement for Its Payment.
THE CLUB NOW SHORT OF CASH.

But Hairs Conqueror Receives the Greater
Part of the Fortune for Which He Bat
tied, and Is Amply Secured for the
Balance.
NEW ORLEANS, March 4.-Fitzsimmons
has not yet received his purse from the
Crescent City club, but the officials of that
organization have made arrangements for
satisfactory settlement with the pu.
gilist.
President Noel made the following state
ment to reporter of the United Press:
We have not yet paid the purse, but
VIII do SO in season. The club is tempo
rarily embarrassed. 1t is no secret that
we have lost considerable money on the
fights recently given. The public already
knows that, and we have no desire to deny
the truth of the statement 1t is also true
that the club has enemies, and they are
doing what they can to affect our reputa-
tion and our credit. They would be pleased
to know that we have failed But YOU
may say to the public that satisfactory
settlement has been made with Fitzsim-
mons, and that every dollar of indebted
ness of tho club will be paid after u little
time. Fitz is convinced he will lose moth
ing of his purse, and his acquiescence in
the arrangements we have made is sufIi-
cient."
Fitz and Martin Julian, accompanied by
Judge Henry Lazearus (Fitzsimmons at
torney), visited the club yesterday after
noon, and after two hours consultation,
satisfactory settlement was reached The
parties to the agreement refused to divulge
its nature, but it is understood that Fitz-
simmons was given the major portion of
the big purse in cash, and took notes well
secured for the balance, the security being
the clubs extensive property
President Noel said that if Corbett and
Mitchell recognized the s75,O 600 offer from
Buffalo the local clubs would not bid
against it, as it would be simple suicide.
Mitchell said he preferred to fight in New
Orleans, as it would be very cold in Buf-
falo in December, but the matter was In
Corhett's hands, and if he accepted Buffalo
Mitchell would also sign, or authorize
somebody in America TO sign for him.
