Will Prevent the Big Fight Taking
Place-BOth the PugiIists in the
Best of Condition, and Each Con-

CARSON, March 15.-Dan Stuart is
up against another snag, and it is one
that is causing much worry. He has
not yet reached a decision on the mat
ter, and he may not make up his mind
until tomorrow morning. The snag
is in the shape of Martin Julian. who
has demanded one-third of the receipts
that may come to Stuart from exhib-
iting the photographs Of the fight. At
the time of the signing of the articles
of agreement Julian asked for share
of the money that would accrue from
this source, and he was told by Stuart
that if any bids were made for the
right to take pictures of the fight Ju-
liam would be given a chance to be in
on the returns. No u. Is have been
made, however, as Stuart has been in
tending to take the photographs with
machine which belongs to him for
the most part
This afternoon Julian drove into Stu
arts headquarters and told the latter
that he wanted the receipts from the
exhibition of photographs to be divided
into three equal parts, one of which is
to go to Stuart. one to Fitz and Julian
and the remaining third to COrbett.
Julian said that if his demand was
not granted he would refuse to fight
before the camera, although he was
willing to allow Fitzsimmons to fight
for the purse if the camera is taken
from the arena. The pictures are con-
si0ered by Stuart his one chance of get
ting back some of the money he has
advanced for fighters in the last three
years, and he is much worried over the
demand made by Julian.
Dan Stuart, when asked concerning
the demand made by Julian, said:
There is one thing certain, and that is
that there will be fight between Fitz-
simmons and Corbett next Wednesday,
/ have not had any trouble with Mr.
Julian, and | do not expect to have any.
There are certain conditions govern
ing this thing, and if Mr. Julian is not
willing to abide by them he can pack
his trunk and go home. That contin-
gency will not arise, however, and I am
entirely safe in saying that any trouble
l may have with anybody will not pre-
vent the fight from coming off on the
day after tomorrow. Nothing that has
arisen up to the present time or that
may hereafter arise between Mr. Ju-
liam and myself or any other person
and myself is going to prevent that
fight 1t will surely come off, if one Of
The principals does not die by the time
set for the battle.
Mr.. Julian will have his man in that
ring on March 18th, if l do not counter
mand my present order to the men to
be ready to fight on the morning of that
day, and l have no intention of coun-
demanding my order"
Notwithstanding his difficulty with
Julian, Stuart has no doubt that the
hig fight will be pulled off according to
programme, for he this afternoon an
nounced the three fights will be pulled
off on the 18th. The present pro-
gramme is to have the great fight at as
close to IL a. m, as possible, and the
men have been ordered to be in their
dressing rooms by 10. If the sun is
not favorable to the taking of pictures.
| the Smith-Green fight will be put on
and wait will be made in this way
until the sunlight is favorable. If
conditions to suit the photographer ex-
ist al the end of the first fight. then
the big fight will be called in all prob
ability, though the sun may be given a.
second chance by putting in Flaherty
and Hawkins before Fitzsimmons and
Corbett have been called into the arena
No matter what the conditions NAV be
at the termination Of the big fight the
event of the day will be called and the
photographer must take his chances.
If the great fight should be first the
other two will follow in short order. and
! it is the present intention of Stuart
| weather permitting, to have all three
fights in one day.
Both of the pugilists to-day did the
last work they will do before the fight
with the exception of a little road work
tomorrow for the purpose of keeping
their wind in good condition Both Of
them are in the finest kind of shape.
and as Charley White, the trainer of
Corbett, expressed it to-day: IF the
thing were entirely matter of condi-
ton, the men would fight until dark.
and there would be no decision at all.
for they are both in such excellent
shape that it will be out of the cues
ton for them to lose the fight through
lack of condition.
w men Soi otlt AROSE InlS morning ne
took a little light work in his room with
the dumbbells, and then went to break
fast. After sitting around the house
for a short time he went at the wrist
machine. which he worked for a short
time, and then punched the bag. but
did very little with it. He then went
through several light rounds of SPAR
ring and took some short runs and
walks on the road. During the forenoon
he played three games of handball with
Nealon, the expert from the Pacific
Coast, winning them ALL In the after
noon he took a short walk and rested
for the balance of the day
Neither Corbett or any of his trainers
will give any idea of what the cham
pion will weigh when he enters the
ring, but it is certain that he will weigh
over 10 pounds. as he is above that
weight now. The chances are that he
viii tip the scales very close to the $50
mark
Charley White said this afternoon
that he is more than pleased with the
result of his work with Corbett. and
that it will be impossible for the cham
pion to ever get into finer shape than
| he is at the present time HE is in
shape to fight for his life right now -
