Chicago, Jan. 25.-JameS J. Corbett to- night signed articles calling for fight with Robert Fitzsimmons which George Considene, of Detroit, is confident he can pull off next summer. The articles are identical with those governing the fight at Carson City with the exception of the purse which is in this case S25, ,00O as against $15,000 at Carson City. Considene agrees to post forfeit of $5,000 to go to the men In case he fails to pull off the fight. In return he demands forfeit from each of $2, 500 Considene is to meet Fitzsimmons in Detroit on Sunday and expresses himself as confident of being able to induce the champion to write his name beside that of Corbett on the articles of agreement.
 Pompadour Jim Corbett imagines that he sees a scheme in Dan Stuart's actions to keep him from ever meeting his noted rival, or conqueror, Bob Fitzsimmons. Jim expressed himself in no uncertain tones in Chicago. He has nothing more than circumstantial evidence on which to base his assertions, but it seems that Kid Me Coy's challenge has Tiled the talking fight CT no little. About the most plausible req son for Jim's actions is that he doesn't want to fight Bib Fitzsmmons as bad as some of his friends believe. In an inter- view he said:
 Ut is strange that @ man of Stuarts busy habits should be so easily satisfied with his long trip from New York to. St. Paul. He got nothing out of Fitzsimmons but flat refusal to do anything with me until l had met and defeated Maher. What happened then? Stuart returns to Chicago after being turned down by the champion and was in good humor. Friends of mine have told me all this. Instead of being huffed about it, he was in good hu- mor. Then he went to New York and offered a purse for Corbett and Maher, we'll knowing at the time would have nothing to do with it.
 '"Then comes up the Mccoy angle From Dan Creedon to the champion Is big jump for young man to make and he should know it is preposterous. He has not had the experience yet to defeat any of the really good heavyweights. What will the result be? 1 know that Stuart is a warm friend and admirer of Me Coy. The latter will claim the champion ship of the world and will soon after get Fitzsimmons into the ring with him. Mo- Coy has all the enthusiasm of a new man. He will be carried away with what Stuart will offer him.
 T felt the same way after I met Sulli- van in New Orleans. I was willing to get glory glory all the time. Now it is diff ferent. I do not care so much for that part of it. It is more of a business with me. Stuart can easily control the kid because he will show him where 1t will be a great thing for him, getting, as he will, a share of the gate receipts and purse, part of the picture money and other things besides a lot of glory even if he is beaten. That is why I say I will be left out In the cold. Certainly Fitzsimmons would rather meet Mccoy than he would me-
 Billy Madden gets off a good one when he says there is a pugilistic trust. He in- cludes in this monopoly Corbett, of the porcupine locks, Red Robert Fitzsimmons and the Hoosier middleweight champion, Kid" Mccoy
 'T am doing the Billy Bryan act against this trust, and the public at large will in- dorse my antitrust movement" observed Madden. "There four heavy-weights hankering for stuffed-mtt argument with the trio of monologuists My heavyweight and future champion, Gus Ruhlin; Tom Sharkey, the sailor; Jim Jeffries and Peter Maher have already declared that they are willing to put up their folded digts against the members of the monopoly
 But the monopolists have given the antitrust pugs the arctic stare and re- fused to recognize the beiligerent rights of the outsiders. Such state of things never existed before in the history of the old prize ring or the Queensberry sport. John l.. Sullivan paved the way for the glory and shekels that were garnered by Corbett. Fitzsimmons, Mccoy and the whole legion of offers of any note who came after John. But John is happy con- trast to the monologuists who are doing their battle in printers ink"
 As the big league ball clubs are getting fin trim for the season, the southern fans are wondering if they will have any amuse- ment and if that Southern league business is all like up-to-date fistic talk.
