Feels Pretty Well

San Francisco. March 19.-Jim Cor
bett was about the city bright and
early this morning. He dropped into
the Baldwin hotel and was joined by u
party OF friends. Porter Ashe, his
life long friend asked him how he felt
AS well as any of the Corbetts,'' said
the ex-champion.
"A number OF my joints are twisted
a bit, but that does not amount to any
thing. My people take it harder than
1 do"
Jimmy Wakelev. the famous New
York sport, came in just then and Jim
introduced Wakelev as one of the
gamest SPORTS OF the country. Jimmy
lost $4,000 on me-" said he, land he
looks like a winner
Il have no complaint to make" re-
piled Wakeley. "Fitzsimmons won, but
were the fight to be fought over 1
would bet the same chunk again.
Wakeley wanted to know what Jim's
plans were, if he had any.
L won't make any move until Brady
arrives" said he. Il see he is trying
to get another match with Julian, but
/ hardly think they will give me an
other chance. / don't care a snap
about the championship. Fitzsimmons
can call himself champion, and / sup
pose he is. But this does not annoy
me. what l am after is another bat
tle.''
Other friends came in and extended
their sympathies. He showed them his
disabled hands. which were swollen
twice their normal size. THAT was
all done in the sixth round" said he.
IF they had not gone back on me l
would have finished him in the seventh.
That is WHY [ had no steam"
The management of the Chutes signed
q contract today with Champion Fitz-
simmons to appear there next Sunday
afternoon and evening. He will give
an exhibition of boxing and will iilns-
trate exactly the blows with which he
finished Corbett.

More Defs.

Pittsburg, March 19.-Michael Con-
nelly says he will back either Peter
Maher or Denver" Ed Smith for
$1,000 a side to fight Sharkey or God
dard. He stated that as Fitzsimmons
had declared his intention of quitting
the ring it would be of no use TO chal-
lenge him. The representatives of God
dard and Sharkey were at the ring
side at Carson to challenge the winner
of the big fight. AS Fitzsimmons will
probably not enter the ring again,
Connolly says his men will accommo-
date both Goddard and Sharkey Con-
nelly said he did not desire to challenge
Corbett on behalf of either Maher or
Smith at present. as he has no idea
as TO what Corbett's plans are for the
future.

BREACH OF CONTRACT.
Why the New York Stock Exchange
Leaves the Western Union.

New York, March 19.-The New York
Stock Exchange, by a unanimous vote
of the governing committee, has de-
cided rot to renew the existing con-
tract with the Western Union Tele-
graph company, and a formal notice to
that effect has been sent. The con-
tract will terminate June SO.
Five years ago the Western Union
Telegraph company signed a contract
by which it, in return for being sup
piled with quotations by the exchange,
agreed not to furnish tickers to any
persons, firm, corporation or organiza-
ton IN New York City, not already
having its instruments, until the ap-
plication had been submitted to and
approved by the stock exchange. This,
it is claimed, was not done.

ment- The reichstag, he said, did not
want to come into conflict with the
