ding was quite lively between Mr. Wallace
and a large, fire looking stranger who
complacently chewed gum and ran the

Foster, attorney for Mr. Wallace, he re-

Associated Press:
AT the outset" began Mr.. Stuart, at
must be conceded that 1 was right I do
not think there was any question to that
proposition when 1t is taken into considera-
ton that I have maintained from the start
that was right. The fact that was right
is demonstrated when it is recollected that
1t took an extraordinary session of the
legislature Of the state of Texas to make
me wrong. This after the highest crimi-
nal tribunal Of the state had adjudged me
right. I am then confronted with special
legisla ton. which outlaws and makes null
and void that which had engaged In I'M
der the strict letter of the law. 1 seek
other coigns. One is afforded me here in
the state of Arkansas. Every induce ment
is made me to bring off the contest here.
Il ask for postponement of eleven days
Mr.. Corbett was willing. Mr.. Fitzsimmons
was not. To my offer to add purse of
$1,000 on the heels of Fitzsimmons' propo-
sltion to meet Corbett in private on Octo-
Der 81, Mr.. Julian, acting for Fitzsim-
mons demurred. He would have the con-
test take place on October 81 or not at all.
l am not self-opinionated man. but con-
tended that If 1t was worth FitZSimmons'
while to fight on October 81, it We're bet
ter to wait eleven days and win 100000
more. In fairness. and in view of the fact
that 1 was entitled to some concessions.
even though at personal loss, l thought
that Messrs. Julian and Fitzsimmons should
agree to defer the meeting for the period
stated. 1 stand ready to make good any
proposition l have ever made. Originally the
men signed to meet anywhere the Florida
Athlete Club named after the first day of
July. With this latitude, which embraces
pretty nearly every point of the compass,
why then should they not agree on post
pCrement of eleven short days?
YES my offer is now permanently with
drawn l am unwilling to believe that any
fair proposition will meet the approval of
Fitzsimmons. 1 have no particular, liking
for the present champion, yet 1 must ac-
cord him that which is his due. ne saw

Club was placed and appeared willing to

CHICAGO October 22.-When Jake Schae-
fer was informed of Frank Ives proposition
to play for $4,000 and give odds, he said:
THAT looks like bluff to me. He knows
we'll that 1 have not got hacker that can
stand for that amount. There was time
he continued, when l could command
backing to the extent of $4,000, but l
never asked anybody to play me for that
amount. l was always willing to play for
from $500 up, which 1 considered a fair
proposition. I have beaten Ives oftener
than he has defeated me, and do not under
stand why he should offer me odds or why
I should accept any. If he is really anxious
for a match, or for such a match, will
play him at IA or 1s-inch balk line, cushion
caroms and straight rail for $500 or $1,000
side, the winner to take all the gate re-
