Hor SPRINGS, Ark, Oct. 2s.-AIl
doubt of a fight between Fitzsimmons
and James J. Corbett for the heavy
weight championship of the world
has been removed from the minds of
the Athletic Association and the citi-
zens committee, and they have begun
making preparations for holding the
event in Wilmington park on Novem-
Der !.
They are convinced that both men
are now anxious and willing to fight.
They base their opinion on the fact
that Fitzsimmons has at last consented
to come here to settle the issue under
the auspic es of the Hot Springs or
ganization. The news of Fitzsin-
mons intentions come through the
medium of kilograms to Mayor Waters
and President Ba bcOck of the Hot
Springs Athletic Association. The
message to Mayor Waters reads as
follows:

with Fitz on October 30, ready to

Every provision will be made for
Fits comfort upon his arrival here on
October 80.
Julian's message to President Bah
cock is as follows: THE articles

fore the Hot Springs Athletic Associa-
tion hold good. Will have Fitz there
October 80. -
The articles referred to by Julian
were prepared by the mythical Jack
Dalton, and Were signed by Fitzsim-
mons manager under misapprehen-
sion. President Babcock said that as
Julian recognized them his club was
perfectly willing to abide by them.
Corbstt was very happy when informed
of Eitzsimmons determination, and
sad: THE arrangements suit me. and
I guess we will have fight after all .
If Dan Stuart declines the position
OF manager offered him by the Hot

take the entire management OF the af
fair in its own hands. The tent en-
gagged for the fight can be placed il
position in Wilmington park at a mo-
