No matter what the result of the legal
proceedings may be this afternoon, the
chances are hundred to one that there
will be no fight between Corbett and
Fitzsimmons. The Litter said today to
a corIesp ndent of the Associated Press:
"There ii b, no fight in Arkan sas. |

and have no use for the citizens OF Hot

"no you mean that you will not fight
in any deal that may be managed by
either the Florida Athletic club or ~ the
citizens OF Hot Springs"

This much was decided upon late this
afternoon, after the trial of Corbett and
FitLsnmons had been adjourned. Brady
