agreement for a fight with Bob Fitz-
| simmons, but the latter has evidently
| recovered from the intense anxiety
that consumed him before the meeting
of Thursday, and takes exception to
many clauses of the document. which he
declared satisfactory. Lanky Bob re-
| ceived the articles at Philadelphia yes
terday and scrutinized them Il while,
then began to find big holes in every
| section of the document. The size of
the gloves Is not nominated, and he also
petulantly objects to the Clubs right to
name n refereee. He is afraid Corbett
might insist upon using twelve ounce
pillows. he declares. and that the Dryers
may name a man who would be preju-
diced for Corbett. Bob Fitzsimmons, the
