a BLUE OUTLOOK FOR THE PROMOTERS OF THE
coRBETT FITzslMMoNs PRIzEFIGHT-
THEIR DIFFICULTIES THIcKEN
Little Rock. Ark. Oct 1.-THE United Press
correspondent found Governor Clarke this morning
thoroughly determined to prevent the proposed
prizeight at all hazards. He says that the action
OF the Circuit Judge and the Sheriff of Garland
County now makes II matter OF State concern
and renders him primarily responsible for its sup
preston. He is still hopeful that those in charge
OF the prize-fghting enterprise will abandon all
further attempts bring IL about here. If. how
ever this does prove the case. their efforts
can only be interpreted TO mean that they intend
to resist with force the efforts Of the officers to
prevent it. In this aspect OF affairs the przehght
VIII drop out of view and the contest Will be one be-
tween the power of the State and that of the in
vading forces OF the prze-fghtng contingent. The
Governor has doubt Of the result Of conflict
between these. That the authority and dignity OF
the State will be maintained goes without say
ing. II this should not prove to be the case ana
the prizefght takes place. In spite of the efforts OF
the officers and the people, the Governor says he
will resign his Office and in future leave the en-
forcement of the laws and resistance to invasion TO
more competent hands.

battle in the best OF spirits. He stated just be
fore his departure that he believed the move is an
ments that the fight will be brought off at Hot
Springs. and that protection H. guaranteed. In
my opinion said he. 81 will find Arkansas no bet
ter place than Texas In which 10 fight, and | am

no interference the part of the authorities"
