 Contest Before Nov. 15-There Is An other Standing oGer-opinions of Cor betf and fitzsimmons.
 William 4. Brady, the ner~eus little man who manages Jisa Corbett's busi ness affairs and attends to great many other things, may have been severely shocked by Governor Culberson's de- eision to call for q special session of the Texas legislature to frame law which will put an end to glove fighting in that state. But if the announcement worried Brady in the least there is nothing about his appearance to indicate A Brady @ calm, which is saying greas deal for Brady
 That fight will take place, ,'' Ae re- marked. The governor of Texas may be all right. He may succeed in having a law passed which will prevent the contest. Then again he may not. He has been at daggers' points with this legis- lature, and its members may fool him. But even if he carries his point, Corbett and Fitzsimmens wiu come togsher ,
 s'In Mexieo?'' was asked
 No, sirree, said Brady emphatieal- ly. "No Mexico ip mine. There are oth- CT places, many of them. There is a standing offer of a $20, GOO purse for the fight It was made by thoroughly re- sponsible man, who guarantees to. pull the fight off within 250 miles of Dallas. And what is more, he agrees to put Ap the money in advance, and is willing to forfeit the entire amount ia case his plans fall through.
 "Will Corbett accept this offer?''
 He will, gladly, w@ the reply. He will fight, moreover, if he has te put mp the purse himself. This man Fitzsimnons claims to Do willing aaa eager to try conclusions with Jim. He will be put to the test, I'm not mil Ionaire, but I'll bet $2 300 that there is 2 fight between this pair before Nov. 15.
 When questioned as Co whether he would fight elsewhere than in Dallas or the state of Texas, Jim Corbett said 'sst all depends on Dan Stewert and Joe yendig. I will do snytl1ng in my power to pull off the fight. saanst help believing, however, that Fitzsimmons is acting unfairly about that referee. Aftez ny appearance in Madison Square Gar den next Monday night I am going to Texas, and 1 shall certainly not come back until PStz and 1 fight 1t ont '
 Speaking of Governor Culbsrson . call for an extra session of tho Texas Legislature, tho champion said he thought Dan Stewart knew more about the situation down there than any ohe eme ..I den't know anything ah2nt the governor or the legislatHa If rSa Stewart says it's all right, it's all right and there is the end of it, go far as am concerned.
 With these words the ehsnap1an rstir- cd for his evening meal, seemingly con vihcad that Joe Yendig and Dan sksw- at could match she entire legislaturs of Texas. and even go it one better if h came to . pinch

 l understand that the arrangements for the fight are in the hands of men that are perfectly familiar with the sit nation and know what they are doing, and do not think that they would have gone as far as they have if they had qQt been certain of theiH ound- - change.
