Dallas, Tex, Oct Sup TO this hour
no point has been settled upon for the
Corbett-Fitzsimmons fight. The In
dian Territory is melting the wires ask
ing for it for half a dozen towns. There
are several representatives down from
there putting forth reasons why their
respective localities should have it.
There is at least no serious thought Of
going to Mexico, Arizona, Colorado or
California, as has been suggested. 1t
is nearly certain that some nation of
the five civilized tribes in the Territory
will be selected. On Monday or Tues
day next the Florida Athletic club will
meet in this city and consider all the
propositions and hear each representa-
tive at the meeting. Brady will appear
for Corbett and Julian for Fitzsimmons.
As son as the place is determined by
that meeting it will be given out to the
world. This is the exact situation up
on that point. Then the partially con-
structed amphitheatre will be pulled
down, taken to the point selected and
ERECTED and completed within ten days
1t will be in easy access to Dallas and
gained at little or no expense more than
here. Secretary Wheeler says it is an
absolute certainty that the fight will
rome off.
There is nothing easier than finding
ground TO fight upon" said he 1.-The
plan seems to be TO concentrate the
crowd at Dallas and go hence to the
ring. The Indian Territory is eighty
miles above us and can be made in three
hours. The greatest effort will be made
TO get all tourists to Dallas and thus
in n iS 7ioyhf off
make its citizens lose the 500, 600 they
have invested under the law which he
has repealed after their money was
gone
Corpus Christi, Texas, Oct. 5.-Today
FItZSimmonS was informed by the As
sociated Press correspondent TO the eff
feet that he was to be admitted to the
chickasaw tribe of Indians in order
TO escape federal interference when he
went 20 the Indian territory to fight
When the reporter asked Fitzsimmons
low he would make an Indian out of
himself he said that while he was not
stuck on joining the tribe" he would
gladly do 50 if it would assure him of
meeting Corbett and meet Corbett he
must or suffer the worst disappoint-
ment of his life. He also further states
that all the trouble could have been
avoided had not Corbett insisted on
having the fight pulled off in Texas
but he had strong hopes that every
thing wonld soon be amicably arranged
and then Gentleman Jim would either
have to fight him or suffer himself to
be branded before the world as a cow
ard.
Martin Pulien will leave either Sun
day or Monday for Dallas, where he has
been summoned for a conference with
Dan Stuart, Brady and others. He says
that he is going for business and would
see that arrangements We're speedily
completed for the fight.
I'VE have too much to lose to let this
thing fall through now" he remarked,
"and the only way for Corbett to get
put of fighting Fitzsimmons is for him
TO back out, and We are not going to
let him do that If there is any possible
way to prevent it,
Fitzsimmons continues to put in hard
ticks training and says he will remain
until the 29th when he will be prepared
to enter the ring in the best condition
