TOO MUCH Bio TALK.
Clearly the Sioux City Club
Means Business.
Yet Jackson Processes to Be Not
at All Satisfied With That
Concern.

NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-Tom O'Rourke
who is looking after Peter Jackson's in
terests ia this city. said to-day when he
saw the Sioux City Athletic Clubs checks ::
Very goOu. Those checks seem 10 be
all right. know the amount is perfectly
satisfactory to Peter. The one thing he is
anxious about is the ability OF the club to
arrange a fight without police interfer-
eDce. What he wants particularly is a
guarantee of immunity from arrest. Peter
would also like 10 see and talk to a repre-
sentative of the Sioux City club. He
wishes to know exactly what is demanded
in the articles it may forward. When |
meet the Sioux City clubs representative
| will telegraph Jackson to come to New
York.
Il don't see any reason now why Cor
bett and Jackson should not fight. Peter
will meet COroett in the Sioux City club,
provided, of course, it will guarantee that
no arrests follow. You see he has not
booked any dates for his show yet this
season as he has been waiting to arrange
matters with Corbett. Jim. on the other
hand. seems to have booked his company
pretty well, or at least Brady has for him.
Now what will he do if he signs to meet
Jackson in four or five months? He will
have TO pay big bonuses to be permitted to
cancel If he had been sincere in his de-
sire TO meet ackson he wonld have made
his bookings with the proviso left open in
event of his signing with Peter. That's
what did with Dixon before George met
Solly Smith. Honestly and truly. though,
don't think COrbett really cares to meet
Jackson.
"Am l 10 be Peters manager? Not that
l know of. l am merely representing
Charlie Dawes. who telegraDhed me to
look after Peters interests in this citv. II
there is any trouble and they should break
l will willingly take jackson in charge"
SIOUX CITY, Iowa, Aug. 31.-The Sioux
City Athletic Club has apparently ex-
hausted all means to get reply to tele-
grams sent Peter jackson or Parson
Davies in regard to arranging for meet
ing place al watch articles for a fight with
Corbett can be signed. Negotiations will
now be commenced with Tom O'ROurke
of New York. who claims to be represent
ing Jackson and IL they are satisfactory
a representative of the club will be in New
York in a week to meet Mr.. O'ROurke.
CHICAGO, Aug. 3l.-Pstsr Jackson fas
arrived in the city from New York. lie
does not think the Sioux City Club means
business. He is of the opinion that il is a
side issue backed bv Brady.
II went to New York." said Peter, ITO
find out exactly how 1 stood with Corbett
came away disappointed. He gave me
no satisfaction. l was satified from the
first that be did not want to meet me in
the ring. journeved over 5000 miles from
San Francisco. found him.
who and what is the Sioux City Ath-
letic CLUB? So far not one name has been
signed to the dispatches. There is no re-
sponsible head TO the concern. under
stand representative of the club is in
Chicago. have not seen or heard any,
thing from him. am sick and tired of
this talk. and will not advertise
Corbett any more. / have no faith what
ever in the Sioux City offer. Corbett may
give me a fight some time, but 1t
will be year or two from now when /
am not in shape or condition to meet
him. My money is still in the hands of
Stakeholder Davies of this city, aud al
though the former match is off, will not
withdraw the stakes until l am satisfied
that Corbett does not mean business. l
will remain in Chicago nine days and will
be prepared to meet the representatives of
the Sioux City Club or any other club that
means business"
