AFTER FITZ.
Strong Effort Being Made to Secure
Another Meeting With Corbett.

hnothcT hcctiuk WIN AOTDttt.
Bob Fitzsimmons must have strong
will power IL he rcsists all the efforts that
are being made TO have him recall his in
tentions TO retire from the ring and give
Corbett another chance The Corbett con-
tlnRent seems determined not To give
fitzsimmons any rest till he grants the
ekchampion another opportunity 10 show
II the Australian is really his master with
the gloves
While both fighters and their hackers
were In Frisco, Bill Brady made many
offers TO Fitz, but the latter would not
accept any of them. Brady offered 60 bet
him so, 900 against Sl5, 900 that he cannot
repeat upon James the performance Of st.
Patrick's day and give him present OF
500 to try il.
The amount of the present he afterward
increased Co 5000
Brady finding that those offers had no
effect on Fitzsimmons made him another.
He OFT cred TO give Fitz 5000 To box four
rounds before the Broadway athletic club
In New York with James on any night
Robert may select. III James fails 10 score
n Knockout Bradys proposition was that
Robert should receive the entire gate re-
ceipts in addition to the 5000, but If
James knocks him out within the four
rounds Robert should take only the 5000.
Even that offer which Fitz was sure 60
win, was rejected by the Australian, so
Brady and his cohorts will have TO adopt
another method to bring about another
meeting
If Eitzsimmons feels that he can defeat
Corbett he should agree 90 another meet
ing, for he would surely make moro money
out OF IL than he will get on the stage for
many years. Corbctt can still command
good backing, and Fitz does not want for
backing, for Carroll, the Cripple Creek
mine owner stands ready 10 back him for
500, 0O0 while the Spreckles OF Frisco
probably would risk as much on him.
