cision solely on the ground that it is
declared in the Marquis of Queensberry
rules that when not ordered otherwise, the
rules of the London prize ring shall gov
ern. Now, the Marquis of Queensberry
rules are silent on the subject of hitting
in the breakaways and with one arm free,
but both are allowed by the rules of the
London prize ring and therefore it seems
to me that it plainly is the intention of
the Queensberry rules that both hitting
with one arm free and hitting in the break
aways should be allowed.
Il suppose that some will differ about
that but that truly looks to me as though
the thing is too plain to admit of any other
construction than that 1 have put upon it.
However, if Corbett and Fitzsimmons
declare they prefer to fight the other
way, it is all right All 1 want is for them
to agree to something

The receipt of Siler's letter raised a

Fitzsimmons asserted it would not be

both he and Corbet had entered the ring:
he had always fought under the Marquis of

water upon the fallen man with the in

this be agreed upon. Then Fitzsimmons
declared that he would fight under the
Marquis of Queensberry rules, and that if
they did not suit Corbett he would fight
under the rules of the London prize ring
He has fought all his battles under the
oueensberry rules" said Fitzsimmons, land
they should be good enough for him now -
Both FitZsimmons and Julian declared
they did not want any hitting with one
hand free and on the breakaways Both
said that breaks should be clean and no
hitting should be allowed until both hands
were free. Fitzsimmons. above all things,
insisted that no agreement should be made
before the men entered the ring. This was
his strong point, and he stuck TO it with all
the obstinacy with which he was capable,
and that is saying a great deal

Referee George Siler yesterday al Carson,
New, gave his Interpretation of the Mar
quis OF Queensberry rules under which
fitZsimmons and Corbett are to fight on
March II. He has decided that the men
shall be allowed to strike in clinch with
one arm free and in the breakaways This
is generally thought to be more to the ad-
vantage of Fitzsimmons' style of fighting
than TO Corbetts. Fitzsimmons has long
declared that he did not desire to have
any hitting with one arm free and de-
mar ded that the breakaways should be
clean and with no punching. This is be-
heved TO be ruse on the part of Fitz-

arm free will exactly suit him.

That Is a mistake l never wanted any

hit with one arm free, but everybody
knows he wants just that very thing.
Everybody comedies that Fitzsimmons is a
harder hitter than l am, and everybody
comedies that 1 am better at long range
fighting and more scientific 1t stands to
reason, then, that he is the gamer by this
