and who was AT one time the pride and turtle

CorDett has many advantages over the colored

When Jackson refused TO fight In the South
CorDetps generals made forced march TO The
North, aud, mushroom-like, the Sioux CITY
Club came TO light. Before the people who
are Interested IN the great lighters or the
pr sent day had time 10 figure out the
location of this Indian fighting club Corbett
had signed articles and agreed to everything
l
meantime, had his scouts out searching the
country for some prominent official from
'Sioux' who might grant him an interyi W
with view OF cleaning some information con-
cerning he club and its standing.

Davies met Edward Lloyd the Sioux city
clubs representative. ana. as stated IN the dis
patches from Chicago jackson refused to
agree 10 the conditions as required by the club.
He said that he had waited two years until
COrbett had got through with his theatrical
engagements, and did not propose o walt an
other year until Ihe white champion had
finished a recently made theatrical contract.
jackson thought that three months from now
should be satisfactory, aud Furthermore th
tile place, he time and 10 finish should be in-
cluded In the articles. Davies finally concluded
that the Sioux City Club was not genuine and
that IL was got up solely TO advertise CoTbett.
There cannot be any doubt concerning jack

The clever colored man, who has hand somely
whipped all opponents, excepting Corbett, is
undoubtedly on the TetTCgrade, and by sum-
ming up the advantages both men possess at
the present time, COrbetJ should be a winner
after what would assuredly prove To be one of
the II not the most exciting fistic contests
ever Witnessed In the Old or The New World.
Corbett, iJ can be taken for granted, will not
take any chances by fighting jackson so long
as he can make money by shaping on the theaL-
rical stage. The sioux Club is a myth.
