CORBET7 WILL REFEREE IT

He Is Slated for That Honor in the
MoMillan-GOr Bout.
II Howard Wilson Beats Jack DAILY
He viii He backed Against Any
of the Light weight Fighters.

The management of the Eureka Club have
made wise move in ma tcfing Jack DAILY,
OF Wilmington, Del, who recently whipped
Billy Dooley, and Howard Wilson for an
.ight-round preliminary to the Gofman-Mc-
MILAN contest, which will be pulled Off
ON Monday night next.
Washington sports predict q great future
for Wilson and "a better trial horse could
not have been secured than Daily.
This preliminary, combined with the
star event, should give the patrons of the
+. A. c. the full worth OF their money. both
Mcmillan and German are sturdy, strong
fellows, and the battle will not be won or
lostins OF fifteen or twenty rounds.
There is one thing sure. 1t " i'll give
great deal more satisfaction than the
short fight between Mcmillan and his
victim, Pat Raedy. Mcmillan will find
German far more Formidable opponent
than he has been up against forsome time.
Both of the men have worked hard and
faithfully for this contest and are in ex-
ccllcnt shape. .--.-...s.
Billy Mcmillan w i'll he seconded by Hite
Peckham and Bob Conncll, while German
will be handled by his Countryman Ted
Alexander, of Australia, and big Billy
Woods, of Denver, who is TO fight George
Godfrey next month.
The chances are that Champion Jim
Corbctt, Billy Delaney, or McVey will
referee the fight.
While it must be admitted that matters
just at this time look exceedingly blue, so
far as Dallas Is concerned, Ii Is altogether
improbable that the Florida Athletic Club
will give up the notion of bringing Corbett
and Fitzsimmons together. II can hardly
be expected that so far as the money making
goes the affair will pan out what II would
have at Dallas with the Texas State fair to
back it up; but there would be big profit
in it almost anywhere at any time that 1t
could be pulled off without hindrance, and
now that Stuart and the club are pretty
deeply in the hole they may be looked TO TO
strain every nerve to find a place for the
fight that they may make good their loss.
The hope expressed by some of the ring
followers in this city yesterday that when
Gov. Culberson gets his legislature together
there may be enough members friendly to
the big fight To prevent action such as the
governor recommends in his proclamation,
seems to he n vain one A glance a the or
ganization of that body would Indicate that
the fight will have little show with it, If
Texas people are like the most, OF other
people.
In the Texas legislature there are 81
senators and l2S members of the house.
Texas has a population estimated at q
650,000. OF this number OF people less
than 500, 900 Yv,-in ,towbs apd cities with
population OF abont . 600 |! According to
these figures, about onesfftH' of the mem
bers of the legislature are elected from
cities and towns of 5000 population and
over, while four fifths are elected by towns
Of less than 5000 Inhabitants and by the
farmers. tt
In nearly every section of the Union the
friends of the boxers are found in the cities.
The country districts are against them. II
this rule holds good in Texas, and there can
be little doubt that it does, it is all day
with the fight as far as that State is con
cerned-.. l..a.. zi... -a. 20 ---.. ---.-----
Fitzsimmons had another round with his
pet lion at Atlanta. The lion get first
blood but Bob got in a Knockout with a
water bucket.
As there now appears to be but little hope
for the Corbett and Fitzsimmons fight show
Manager BraIiyis out with I he fierce declara
tion that the controversy between Jim and
Bob must be settled 1t ma kes no difference
to Brady. apparently. what the cost to limb
or life or liberty may be. Willie is surely
a willy worthy.
The determination of Gov. Culberson to
thwart Dan Stuart and the Florida Athletic
Club viii probably cause both Corbett and
Fitzsimmons to sleep more peacefully than
they have for the last three months
News comes from Baltimore that Here
ford, the manager o Z the Eureka Club of that
town, is already out for the Maher and
O'Donncll bout, believing that there is now
no chance for it to be pulled o If at Dallas.
The Ryan and Smith fight for the welter-
weight championship will in all probability
be secured by Boston. now that it is as
good as settled that il will not take place
fought was before the Buffalo Club of that
to finish, but the authorities offered no oh
lection to il, and the recent decision OF
the court in the o'Brien and Walcott case
makes 1t almost sure that the boxers are
safe there.
As soon as the proclamation of Gov. Cul-
berson had reached them, the San Francisco
Syndicate who made a bid of $685. 600 for
the Corbett and Fitzsimmonsf fight, the latter
part OF last week, telegraphed renewal of
their offer. The boxers are yet under con-
tract with the Florida Athletic Club, and
they can hardly be expected to enter into
another agreement until they know what
the Stuart combination Intends to do.
Paddy Ryan is TO be in Philadelphia on
He will spar with Sullivan at
the benefit to be given the latter there next
week.
ALIX IS CRIPPLED.
