Associated Press Special wire.


Champion Corbett has gone into train
ing again. Although no articles
agreement have been signed nor an!
definite arrangements for a battle con
summated. still Gentleman Jim" as
serts-and with apparent sincerity
that he practically has another mater
on with the new champion OF TIT
world, Robert Fitzsimmons. Corbet
argues that the Cornishman will b'
compelled to re-enter the ring. for the
alleged reason that despite his new lau
rels and glory he cannot make a Twins
at anything else. Then, once he pro-
claims his return to the arena the pub
lie will demand that he try his mettle
once more against the man whom he de-
feated, rather than pick UP any So
called second raters.
Jim has chosen to convince himself
that he will meet Fitzsimmons again in
the ropes inside of year. Upon ar
irving at New York, William A. Brady,
the ex-champion's hacker and manager,
will immediately issue a challenge to
Fitzsimmons ~ a second finish fight
and accompany it with a deposit of s2.-
800. The program then will be the
atrical tour of the continent and a sys-
tematic bantering of the victorious
Cornishman at every stopping place.
STUART'S VIEWS.
DALLAS Tex, March 27.-Dan A.
Stuart is home from his successful man
agement of the t-Fitzsimmons
fight. Being still quite weak from the
sickness which overlook him in Nevada,
he will spend the next two weeks at
Mineral Well, Texas, a health resort
near here. April Is he will go to New
York, and about May 1 will be in San
Francisco to start an active campaign,
extending over the summer and culmi-
mating next fall in another big pugilistic
carnival. At what point this carnival is
to be held he is not prepared to say.
When asked If he considered it prob
able that Corbett and Fitzsimmons will
meet again for a championship finish.
he said
ITO be candid, I do. Fitzsimmons
says now he will not fight again, but I
believe he will change his mind. Billy
Brady is just as loyai and partial to
COTDelt lOudy do hC SNSh was 49, Aoe-@
lv believes Corbett can defeat Fitzsim-
mons. No matter whether his judg-
ment is good or bad on this point, he is
in earnest and stands ready to personal
iy back Corbett for a side bet to the
amount of $4,000. I would not be sur
prised of Fitzsimmons and Corbett
would eventually be matched for
s25. 900 side bet. Fitzsimmons can now
get as much backing as any pugilist in
the world, not even accepting Sullivan
and Corbett l.. their most successful
days. I have no opinion to express on
the probable outcome of such a match.

have not been interviewed, and 1 re-
pudiate the statements alleged to have
been made by me, notably that there is
no man living capable of meeting Fitz-
simmons; that he could beat Corbett to
death in four rounds and have only ex-
ercise in doing so; that in couple of
years would bring out Kid Mccoy and
he would take first measure. etc. OF
course I think we'll of Kid Mccoy, but
have said nothing looking to match
between him and Fitzsimmons or as to
their relative merits as fighters"
