CHICAGO, Oct. 29.-That the big
cham pionship battle between Corbett
and Fitlsimmons will Jake place on
Thursday or thereabouts seems certain.
Dispatches received today by several
different local sports who have a strong
interest in the fight were of a positive
nature, aid coming as they did from
those having the handling of the much
discussed affair. they carried great weigh t
with all who saw them.
One telegram was from Brady, Corbett' S
manager, and 1t stated that Fitzsim m ons
and Julian had agreed to meet the cham
pion In private or Thursday of this week.
as originally scheduled in the articles of
agreement, the purse to be reduced to
$4,000 and the side bet to be the original
amount of 900 each. Ftzsim m on s
will post his stake money Immediately
upon his arrival at the Springs. Tele-
g-ams signed by a man who has been
close to Dan Stuart of Dallas, Texas,
during the entire arrangements for the
fight and subsequent squab5les, SAYS def
nitely:
"Co: bett and Fitzsimmons have reached
an agreement to fight in private. Will
NEST probably on Thursday to fight for
$4,000 a side and a purse of $4,000. Ju
liam has wired accepting the trims
offered. Come at once"
No explanation is offered OF how the
purse of $4,000 can be obtained for a fight
in private, but it is presumed that the
managers expect to make up the amount
by st Inscriptions from those 'dead games
already on The ground and such Others
as may have time to reach Hot Springs
on Thursday morning.
ST. LOUIS, Oct. "A special to the
Republic from Hot Springs, Ark, says:
Attorney General Kingsworthy was sur
prised when informed that a warrant
had been placed in the hands of Sheriff
Houpt of this county for Corbetts arrest.
and that it had been issued and that he
was in the custody of a deputy at his
training quarters. The action OF the at
torney -gene eral. when asked for the cham
pon's dismissal by Judge Kirk, upon the
case which had been remanded ty the
supreme court, was anticipated, and as
soon as Corbett was dismissed a warrant
charging him with conspiring to create a
breach of the peace was issued and i'm
mediately served and he was placed under
arrest by the sheriff. The action was
taken to forestall the attorDeygeneral,
the case transferred by change of venue
20 Washington county. If the same
course is pursued as to FtzsImmons by
the local authorities. which in all probs-
bility will be done, no power on earth
can prevent the hight. The pugilists will
simply give bond in a reasonable amount
to keep the peace and proceei with the
i contest. Everything has been conducted
on the quiet and this information Just
leaked ont at late hour last night.
