PLANS FOR THE FIGHT.

New ORLEANS, La, Oct. 5.-The
opinion is expressed here by certain
sporting men that Corbett is building
up foundation to get out of his fight
if possible. It was noticed that to
every newspaper man who inter
viewed him, Corbett talked only on
one subject, and that was on the many
strings that were attached to the Eitz-
simmons stake. Every conversation
the pugilist INDUCED in this subject
would prominently be- brought for
ward by him.
When it is taken into consideration
that the attachments against Fitzsim-
mons money in Dryers hands were
issued more than a month ago, and
Corbett refrained saying anything
about it at that time, give rise to the
suspicion that the conqueror of John
L. Sullivan has kept this as his last
card.
Corbett very bluntly said that Fitz-
simmons would have to put up $40, 000
in the Stockholders hands, without an
attachment tied to it, or he would not
fight He claims that Fitzsimmons
only has S.. 900 of the side bet up, the
other 81, 900 being attached by the
Metropolitan Printing company and
Attorney Friend, formerly the Aus
tralian's lawyer. Corbett is claiming
that Phil Dwyer told him just before
he left New York that if he won he
would get but SIS, 600 of the side bet.
Corbett also says that he will fight
Fitzslmmons for the side bet alone, but
puts in the old proviso that $40, 900 I'M
attached must be put up.
Local sporting men are of the opin
ion that this provision of Corbett's
will occasion considerable trouble be-
fore October 81. just why the cham
pion is anxious to have the referee Sc
lected at this time cannot be learned.
Both Corbett and his manager, Billy
Brady, are clamoring for the referee
to be chosen Immediately. When
asked the difference it would make in
selecting the referee the day before
the fight, they say that in such an i'm
portant case as this the referee should
be known several weeks ahead in or
| der to give confidence to the public.
The general feeling in New Orleans
is that the fight will never take place.
Corbett and party reached the city
yesterday morning over the Louisville
and Nashville road. 1t is the general
! opinion among local sports who knew
/ Corbett well, that he is not the same
/ Corbett of old. His face is very much
pnched and there is dull look about
/ his eyes. During the day the cham
pion visited the Southern Athletic clu b
and did some little work.
