guIne that finish fight could not be car
ried off in this City or County, and to save
themselves from any possibility of losing
on the speculation they rightfully ask the
pugIllsts TO prove their sincerity in the
matter by depositing the amount stated
in some bank.
AS Groom said: IF the National Club
should go to the expense of several thou
sand dollars in arranging for a finish con-
test outside of this State, and at the last
moment the pugilists failed to put in an
appearance. where would the National
Club get off? Now we are accused of craw-
fishing or backing down, or whatever you
may wish to call it. but any sensible man
can see at a glance that the National Club,
or any other club, for that matter, would
be acting the part of an idiot to incur q
great expense in arranging details for big
match unless it had good, substantial
guarantee that the talking horses really
meant business and would toe the scratch
when the time arrived for fistic argu-
ment.
''The National Club is in the swim good
and hard and will carry out its agreement
to the letter as it has always done, but we
do not propose, in the language of the
butcher, to buy a pig in poke.
'Of course, owing to the political excite
ment which is now on, we do not intend
to bother with fisticuffs until after cleo
ton, when we will appear again brighter
than ever"

WANT TO FIGHT HERE.
The National Club Will Stand
by Its Agreement With
the Pugs.
Groom Says That He Wants to See
His Way Clear Before H Makes
a Start.

Fitzsimmons, Corbett, Sharkey ct al. are
determined that the political excitement
of the present time shall not drown the
interest In pugilism, that is if they can
help it.
Everybody who has a love for the sport
of fsticuffs is aware by this time that Cor
bett and FitZsimmons have, so to speak,
retired Sharkey to the background and if
the Cornishman can possibly break up the
contract which Sharkey and Corbett
signed in this City, he will be a decidedly
happy man, because in his heart he Is
more sanguine of whipping James owing
TO the latter's physical condition, which is
generally believed to beSvery much i'm
paired.
Sharkey is determined, however, to hold
Corbett 10 his contract, and if the cham
pion fails to meet him within the time
specified in the articles of agreement the
sailor pugilist will claim the alleged $1,000
which was deposited in this Cily as a
guarantee OF good faith.
Cor5ett is seemingly anxious to decide
the mooted question of supremacy with
Sharkey, and he has written and tele-
graphed Managers Groom and Gibbs of the
National Club to that effect
1t will be remembered that when the
match was made the National Club offered
the pugilists a purse of $4,000 if the con-
test was decided under its auspices at
some place which the club would select
when the proper time arrived.
Both Corbett and Sharkey.. seemed
pleased with the offer, but they failed to
give the club decisive answer, and there
the matter remained until very recently,
when Corbett, after having signed an
agreement to fight Fitzsimmons, teIe-
grephed the club 10 know whether its offer
still remained good.
Managers Groom and Gibbs very wisely
concluded that the signing of articles be-
tween the big guns in pugilsm, VIZ. !:
Bob +. and James c., took large chunk
of interest from the match arranged be-
tween Gentlaman James and Sailor Tom.
In speaking of the matter as it now
stands. Gibbs said that if Corbett and
Sharkey were satisfied to accept purse of
$4,000 for ten rounds, the club would
hang up that amount and the contest
could be decided in this City, but if they
insisted on twenty rounds or more, the
club would give purse OF $4,000, pro-
vided the fighters deposited 5000 each as
a guarantee.
