St. Paul daily globe., 1895-10-22

unah Is clnglng close 10 the confines
OF his room. The impression prevails
sln some quarters that Fitzsimmons
may personally repudtate Julian's ac-
tions and fight. The proposition to
gave Maher take Fitzsimmons' corner
against Corbett, and to replace Maher
with Choynski againts O'Donnell, is
also said to be losing weight Aside
from this. the club declares it's hands
washed of the whole matter. There
IS some talk Of saving al vestfge of the
contemplated carnival by getting Dan
mcleod and Ernest Roehr together in
I. a. mixed style wrestling match, with
" remote chance of pulling off the
Maher-O'Donnell and Ryan-Smith
nights as sideshows.
! WORST BLUFF ON RECORD.
William A. Brady, Corbett's man
ager, tonight made the following state
ment: The action of Fitzsimmons to-
Gay Is no surprise to me. have ex-
pected it for weeks. Mr.. Fitzsimmons
mas never been sincere In his desire to
meet Corbett. He has not sufficient
nerve to face Corbett in a ring or any,
where else. He is not in Corbett's
CLASS as a pugilist or a man, and his
very action in this whole matter has
proved 1t. He is a. very brave man
When pitted against understood mid
oieweights or second-class heavy
WelShts, but when 1t came time to
race the champion he has weakened
just as 1 thought he would. He now
proposes to commence a tour of the
country, suppose to try, by lying and
Misrepresentation, to entice few peo-
PIE In to see him, telling them how
anxious he is to meet Corbett or any
one else. But he will always talk at
a safe distance and take it all back
Wnen brought face to face with any
or his statements. He has made the
worst crawl on record, but he would
rather do this than get the good beat
ing he knows he would have received
II ne had mustered up enough courage
to meet Corbett in the ring. Corbett
Will pay no more attention to Fitz-
simmons or his bluffs and will prob
ably retire from the ring
FITZ WILL BE CHAMPION.
Martin Julian, Fitzsimmons' man
ager, says: 1.-THE Florida Athletic club
declares the fight off because 1 refused
70 agree to a postponement. l insisted
upon the fight taking place on the origi-
nal date set, because Fitzsimmons has
been training for that Accordingly I
offered today to let Fitzsimmons fight
cerbett in private on the original date
for the side bet of $4,000, which Brady
refused to agree to. There is no doubt
Ia my mind that Corbett does not want
TO fight, and especially does not want
to meet Fitzsimmons in ring The
changing of the agreement by Brady
and Vendig without consulting us was
part Of the plan to prevent Fitzsim-
mons having a chance to knock Cor
hett out. and the attempt,to change the
date to a later period convinces me that
Corbett Is in no condition to whip any
body. Corbett and Brady have becn
attempting to tinker with the details
every time chance has presented
itself. The attempt to name referee
months in advance was of piece with
all the other monkeying that has, been
carried ON by the alleged champion and
his astute manager.
II intsnd to make Corbett fight F'itz-
simmons, He cannot keep his cheapdy-
won glory by four-hushfng around the
country. If BEady's man does not
rsraet my man FitzsiInmons will claim
the heavyweight championship of
America as well as the middleweight
championship Of the world,
A YELLOW DOG.
Brady, whose Indignation reached
such a pitch that tce-cold champagne
boiled in the glass which he touched,
found time tonight to address the fol-
lowing to the public. 1T is not a bril-
liant effort, inasmuch as Brady has
lost the strongest points in his case:
'F'itzsimmons has erawled, just as
thought he would. I do not pretend to
know a lot about pugiliStS and their
modes. My connection with them has
been almost entirely confined to my as
ISOLATION with Corbett, whom took UP
and managed in the regular course of
my theatrical business. Therefore, /
cannot place myself in a position of a
pug1listic oracle, but l do flatter my
self ON being pretty good judge of
human nature. and L told Corbett
months ago, when, this man F'itzsim-
mons was getting loud about his anx-
lety to meet him in the ring, that he
was not sincere in his desire, and that
he was simply using Corbett to adver-
tise himself In the hope that he might
lay the path for successful tour.
Capt. Glori, his ex-manager, who made
and brought on this match for Fitz-
simmons, has confessed in the public
press, and his record is far cleaner than
F1tzsimmonS, and he has more right
to be believed than the boxer. / have
watched FitZSimmonS and his methods
through the whole affair, and l have
between the two men, and know that
the New Zealander knows Corbett is
his master both in and out of the ring.
Now that he is compelled to either
fight or crawl, he chooses to crawl,
hoping that he may persuade Corbett's
enemies that he is on the level and sin
cere in his actions. He trumps up that
helcan now go through his country on
the stand he has taken, saying: Well,
| was there and they would not give
me fair play or some other wild-goose
story. If he fails in this he will go
back to Australia or to England and
use the cable to tell us how eager he is
to battle with Corbett.
Contrast his present actions with
those Of Corbett when he was matched
with Sullivan, when You could not find
one man in a thousand who would say
that the Californian had chance. Did
Cerbett dictate? Never. He did what
he was told, and was happy to get a
chance to fight the champion. Great
record! Great record! Fitzsimmons is
a yellow dog, cur of the worst des-
cription. He never fought first-class
man in his life, He is afraid to come
to this city. If he is anxious to fight,
let hirn come here and say bee just
1b-double b to Corbett. Jim will give
him all the fight he wants.
Wv. A. Brady"
