Furthermore, 1t gives the referee an
opportunity to decide a contest on a
technical foul, which is generally u14-

1.-THE question u.s." said Julian, what
governed when Corbett fought Sulli-
Van?"
rs it not a question" said Brady,
when Corbett fought Sullivan 1T was
understood and agreed they should
fight fairly and squarely-"
Should do no hugging or clinching?"
asked Julian.
Il believe so,'' replied Brady.
''The fight" went on Julian, would
have been stopped at the end of the
seventh round if the referee had fol-
lowed the instructions and rules. Ac-
Cording to the rules, Sullivan lost the
fight in the seventh round"
1--WE want to prevent any more of
that kind of business" said Brady. 81
am perfectly satisfied any time my
man is guilty Of any kind of foul to
lose the fight"
"Mr. Corbett," replied Julian 'Fhas
said he wanted a fair and square
stand-up fight. That is all we want.
We don't want any wrestling match or
any smuggling match. We want a pure
ly scientific contest. Fitzsimmons has
always fought on a fair, square.
straightforward manner. We under
stand there is to be no smuggling or
hitting in clinches or on the break
always. We have never been accustom-
ed to that sort Of a thing. / don't think
there need be any argument about it. .
Nor do l." said Brady. 1.-THE ref
cree interprets the rules"
II don't think the referee has any
thing to do with it until he gets into
the ring"
ut is settled, so far as we are con-
cerned," said Brady. being laid down
by the rules: the rules say anything
to be controlled by the Lon
don prize ring rules, and they say
each man is to take care of himself in
a clinch. The articles of agreement
say the men are to fight according to
Marquis Of Queensberry rules"
But the rules" said Julian "do not
say there are to be pivot blows"
'They say" replied Brady, that they
shat be delivered with the fist. This
match has been standing for six or
eight months. George Siler was agreed
upon as referee, and / understand he
spoke to FitzsimmOnS and Corbett and
that both agreed that each man should
take care of himself in clinch."
THAT is not Queensberry rules" said
Julian. This fight is to be under them
and not the London prize ring rules .
L,
retorted Brady. 1.-THE men have
signed articles to fight under the
Queensberry rules. 1t is not in your
province or mine to judge. The ref
cree is the only person to do that"
''Siler," replied Julian. has no right
to judge the rules any more than !
have. You will admit that, George?''
IT will not" said Siler. II have not
changed any Of the rules. I have simp-
ly given my instructions. The reason
did 1T was simply to let everybody
concerned know exactly what the rules
are and not to have any wrangling IN
the ring"
You say" remarked Julian, that
you object to hitting In clinches with
one arm free?"
Rule II covers that" replied Siier.
what is the USE then, of rule .? no
wrestling or hugging allowed. That is
hugging and clinehing You don't want
either man to lose or win on a foul?'
NO" replied Brady.
You don't want" said Julian, "eith-
er one of these men to finish the other
when he sees he is whipped"
Are you afraid of your mann" re-
piled Brady.
He will be in the ring Wednesday"
replied Julian, land give a good ac-
count of himself
II suppose" put in Dan Stuart, eff
the fight is to be strictly under the
Queensberry rules, the clinching is to
be in"
"Only one person can decide that"
said Brady, land that is the referee.
Stuart has nothing to do with it. The
two men have agreed on a referee and
when he was appointed Stuart's prov
ince ceased"
"Corbett," exclaimed Julian, 'has re-
peatedly said he wanted a fair fight.
You want a wrestling match If he
wants the London prize ring rules. we
will give them to him."
''Corbett," said Brady, wants a fight
under the rules laid down by the ref
cree"
After some further talk, IN which
the same ground was gone over, Julian
said he would abide by whatever Stuart
and Siler agreed to do. He asked
Brady If that would suit him.
Anything the referee does will suit
uae,'. replied Brady.
