Carson, New, March 12.-Severa
knotty problems in connection with the
big fight, were discussed and solved
today, principal among them being the
, agreement between the fighters as to
the Queensbury rules, and Dan Stuart's
compromise with the kaleidoscope COM
pany.
The principals in the main event of
the carnival eased off in their work,
and a large delegation of sporting men
from the east arrived.
Martin Julian, representing Fitzsim-
MONS and w. a. Brady, acting for Cor
bett, met George Siler and Dan Stuart
in the latter's office this afternoon, and
took up the question of rules. Each
up and worked over. The first eleven
rules of Queensbury were passed upon
without a hitch.
JULIAN GREW WARM.
Rule II, touching upon the London
prize ring regulations, brought Julian
to a white heat and he protested
strongly, but ineffectually, against ST.
ler's judgment, which allowed hitting
+ in clincheS with a free hand and also
! on breakaWayS.
mo man who has followed Fitz in
many of his battles will admit that
this style of fighting suits him. as
serted the stout member. Bob is es-
sentially a puncher and not wrestler.
AT long range he is invincible, but 1
will not allow him to go in any mixed
ale scraps if l can help it. l thought
this fight was to be the most scientific
ever fought. Now why does Corbett
want to mix matters UP So?'
HE STOOD ALONE.
Julian found nobody ready to agree
with him. Brady came to the scratch
at the outset and informed all present
that Corbett would agree to anything
reasona BILE. Siler, he said, was not
Corbett's preference for a referee, but
Jim had faith in the gentleman's dis
cretien and honesty, and would not
not downright unfair. When Julian
realized that he was alone in the con-
trCversy, he applied to Dan Stuart for
judgment, agreeing to abide by what I
the big Texan thought was right. /
Stuart invited Siler into private /
room, where they conversed for few |
minutes:
Gentlemen announced the pro-
moter, Mr. Julian has given US his
word that he will accept my decision
in this matter. 1 hope he knows me
we'll enough TO believe that 1 would not
wrong Fitzsimmons in any matter. L
am of the opinion that Mr.. Siler's in
depreciation of the rules is absolutely
impartial, and gives neither of the
fighters the slightest advantage. Let
it be understood then, that Corbett
and Fitzsimmons may hit with a free
hand during clinches, and that they
may also bang away at each other
when separating. In short Mr.. SilerS
instructions are to be followed to the
letter. 1 trust this will satisfy you
ALL
SMALL BOTTLE SUGGESTED.
Very well, Them Julian rejoined;
''let it go at that. l won't kick"
Brady suggested a small bottle and
the conference adjourned.

Edison kaleidoscope company, got to !

business arrangements. The most deli

BOB AT SHORT RANGE. NJ
The roads about Cooks ranch have d.
led out beautifully and FltZSimmOnS II
led his bike this morning. He wheeled
miles before IL o'clock without a tt
ishap, but his arms appeared to be l.
if when he put the gloves on with
ickey. Dan was at his best end Bob
not show UP any too we'll in the
ut. Roeber limbered the Australian IT,
a bit, and Steiner came in for some
ncy short arm punches. Clinch after 10
nch followed in the last set-to and oV
CHI time Bob showed his short range tlo
nching abilities in a wonderful man ro
r. If, as Julian asserts, he is long lns
nge puncher, nobody has been able "a
discover the fact. His method of
ting in on a break is totally differ
from Corbetts. Instead of swinging )
his opponents jaw with downward rel
d half circular motion like jim, he est
ps up under the guard with a swift
strong uppercut on the chin.
