Gov. Clarke Declares He Will Give

Hot Springs, Ark, Get. 29.-T.
sporting fraternity have recovered i'll
a measure from the periodical stroke
Of paralysis of Monday night snperin-
duccd by news of the determination
of Gov. Clarke to stop the fight at all
hazards and the unprecedented activ
ity of Attorney General kingsworth in
swearing out warrants for the arrest
OF Fitzsimmons on the grounds that
he proposed to place the lives of Corbett
and others in jeopardy, and insisted
Tuesday morning as firmly as ever that
ii the would-be champion only succeeds
in getting into Hot Springs the fight
will take place with ample notice to
the country at large.
In whatever steps they have in con-
temptation. they IRE acting under the
advice of counsel, than whom there are
none more able in the state, and as
these in turn insist that they are stand
ing strictly upon the law in their con.
illusions, the confidence of Brady, Ven.
dig. Wheelock. ct AL, would appear to
be something more than mere bravado,
or desire to let themselves down easy.
There is not so much inclination, how
ever, to diSulge the plans and inclina-
tions MS there was Il week ago, for the
Arlington is honeycombed with the
governors spies, while the evident ten
dency of the local press to withhold
nll fight news TINT might furnish tips
to the governor.
Tho Password of tho Hour.
The password for the hour is '''Fitz-
simmons will get into Hot Springs all
right, accompanied by A. Wink" and it
IS employed by the big guns and local
sports nike to every new inquirer, but
Tuesday nobody knew the fountain
head of inspiration or was willing to
hazard conjecture as to how Fitz-
simmons is going to accomplish the
feat of rushing from the border into the
Ozarks without being stopped by the
statehouse emissarics. Nevertheless
the shrewlest of tncticans have
found their schemes go astray before
this and the Hot Springs promoters
may have the laugh on the governor be-
fore the day upon which the fighter
is due to register Mt the Arlington.
