CORBETT ACTS WISELY.
Has Much Consideration for "Iesser
I.ights"-WOn't Fight In New York

New York, Dec. 5.-When Jim Corbett
was asked last night as to Ihc chances OF
bringing Off fight between himself end
FitZsimIuo in This city, the ex- cham plon
said:
There is no probability of our boxing in
New YORK. do not Wish To Interfere with
the lesser lights, who have clubs orga niZcd
and running; but will be willing To fight
anywhere IN the world, at any time and
ut any place two weeks after articles are
sighed.
am anxious to get out of the fighting
business, continued Corbett, ''asI am tired
OF 1t, and hope to become good actor
some time.'
The announcement made by Corbett last
night to the effect that he had decided not
to box in this State. although tie had been
offered a purse OF $27 900, will surely
meet with the approval OF sporting men IN
this cou ntry.
CorDett at first imagined that a bout he
tween himself and Fitzsimmons could he
pulled off without Interference in this city.
but when he was told by Il well known off
cial n this city that if he expected to fight
in New York that he would be responsible,
for the boxing law to be killed, he de-
clihedtl offers already IN ade to him.
Thisencouraglng news is something which
the sporting men OF this country. VINO are
admirers of fistiana, have all along been
waiting Tor From the moment that War
renLewis began with his offers to bring he
contest off at Coney Island until yesterday
afternoon. the sport was threatened with a
serious blow.
II has been repeatedly stated in the pa
pers that il Corbett a nd Fitzsimmons ever
fought in this state it meant instan,
death to boxing forever. Every one who
went TO Corbett told him that he would kill
a good legitimate sport. and that is prob
ably why Corbett refused to fight in this
State

BASEBALL IN VIRGINIA.
Richmond and Norfolk In the At.
lantic League.


Mr.. W. B. Bradley, for years Identified
with baseball in Richmond, Va, has become
sole owner OF the Atlantic League fran
chise in that city.
Maynard and Watson were associated
with Mr.. Bradley at first, after Richmond
decided to break away from the Virginia
League and enter the Atlantic League, but
they have withdrawn and will. II is said,
attempt TO reorganize the State League,
putting clubs in Richmond and Norfolk.
Norfolk has also entered the Atlantic
League for next year.
Mr. Bradley laughs at the idea of FORM
ing state league, with the leasling clubs
OF Richmond and Norfolk belonging to
different organization. There seems to be
little hope of a successful reorganization of
the Virginia League, as Richmond and Nor
folk Kept the league alive for several sea-
sons The Virginia League, especially last
year, was a great success professionally,
the standing of ban playing being good,
but financially was failure in every city
except Richmond and Norfolk.
The Norfolk club has signed the following
players for the coming season: Mike pir-
nlingham, first hasemau; JAKE waihl, LETT
fielder, and Al Weddige, third baseman.
These men Were members of last seasons

very neat little game by warning certain

not desirable, and that in future admission
would be denied her at the gate.
The woman mentioned lives in Pbiladel-
phia. She has very pretty daughter, of
whom most OF the jockeys are rather fond.
The brilliant brain of this woman conceived
the idea of inviting the smitten jockeys TO
her house to see her daughter, and there it
is said many jobs were fixed up and put
thro ough.
The woman was know n TO bcinterested in
certain book in the ring. and the atten-
ton OF the officials was ifirst drawn to
this book. The mounts or certain jockeys
were laid up against with startling regular
ity. The Iron Hill manageme Mt seta wa.ch
on the woman's house in Philadelphia and
soon learned that several jockeys were reg
ular callers.
Investigations in other channels revealed
the startling fact that the woman and the
jockeys were working in collusion and
fixing races. 1t was a pretty game and a
sure winner, but the officials could not per-
init it to go on. So ey.quietly informed
the woman that sh would not he permitted
