FITZSIMMONS SAYS HE WILL NOT
FIGHT CORBETT UNTIL THE
LATTER
FIGHTS THE MAN HE NAMES.
EILER IS HIS CHOISE FOR RE-
FEREE FOR THE NEXT
MATCH.
JULIAN AND STUART CONFER.
Fttz' Manager and the Big Sporting
Enterprise Promoter Have u
/ Spirited Conference Here.

Before Jim Corbett gets Bob Fitz-
ginmons into a ring again, he must
whip Peter Maher.
That is one, and the chief, of num-
Der of stipulations which Martin JUL
ian, Fits manager, last night sub
nitted to Dan Stuart, he of Dallas
DISQUALIFICATION City fame.
Stuart while he does not appear as
the personal representative of Corbett,
is believed to be close enough to the
Brady Corbett combination so that his
visit to the city at this time may be
considered as an earnest of Corbetts
interest in getting on a new fight.
Julian and FitzsimmOns reached the
city yesterday morning, the former
with the company and the latter with
his wife and son. Stuart, with Louis
McHausman, of the Chicago Inter
Ocean, reached the city yesterday
morning also, but while Stuart and
Fitzsimmons went to the Ryan, Julian
went to the Windsor, and the two did
not get together until about nightfall.
The day was spent largely in the
transmission of messages to Julian by
Stuart, it having been given out early
that the entire matter Of making a
match lay with the champions broth
er-in-laW. To these messages no an
SWer was returned until about D. m,
when Mr.. Julian signified a desire to
talk over the proposed fight thorough
~ and without constraint as to haste.
Mr.. Stuart was impatient, and sought
an earlier conference, but it was in
hn ~
until after Champion Bob, mid the
plaudits of the multitude, had pounded
the punching bag to a jelly and his
STARRING partner, Gus Lawler, out of
breath
Julian was not get-at-able during the
day. A hard week of one night stands
in Winconsin, not to mention trouble
some bar-room incidents affecting thu
equilibrium of the company, perhaps
had something to do with his desire not
to be intruded upon during the day.
But after that he was very much in
evidence. Informed by a Globe re-
porter of Mr.. Stuart's anxiety to see
him, with which he was already fam
iliar by reason of messages received
during the day and carefully preserv-
ed by Mrs Julian, the manager of the
1anky champion said:
Il will give Mr.. Stuart all the chance
In the world, but there is Just this
about 1T. He must show some reason
why F'itz should fight him. 1 do not
want to appear dictatoriaI in this mat
ter, but before F'itz goes in the ring
again, he must have certain assurances
from Mr.. Stuart and certain conditions
from Corbett
Who has done all the fighting? Not
Corbett He fought whom? Peter Jack
sou when Jackson had a bad leg and
ought to have been in the hospital He
offered Corbett 81, 900 to put it off two
weeks and give him a chance to get his
leg in shape, and then after sixty-one
rounds, the referee, Hiram Cook de-
ctded it no contest. He got a decision
from Mitchell when the fight should
have been given to Mitchell on fouls.
1t got so strong finally that Jack
Dempsey had to mix up in it, and vet
the referee would not give the fight to
Mitchell. That was Honest" John
Kelly that they tried to ring in on us
at Hot Springs.
INSISTS ON SILER.
eff there ever is another fight be-
tween Fitzsimmons and Corbett. the
referee will be George Siler. I want the
Brady COrbett outfit to show a single
reason why he should not be. Siler
never gave Fitzsimmons any the best
of it, nor any the worst of it, in any
night. and L know it, as do the sporting
public of the world They tried to
sweeten Siler before the Carson CITY
mill, but they could not do it. Then
they tried to scare him. Corbett saws:
George, / wouldn't take your chances

for them to climb into the ring and,
if necessary, kill F'itzsimmons and SiIer
both. But they didn't, and you ought
to have seen their chins drop when
they saw a bunch of about fifteen
Texas boys with greaser hats come in.

too. There weren't any 400 of EN-
but they could mix it up good and
strong for a while. Corbett's gans
never peeped. They can't give any
reason why Siler shouldn't referee the
match, if there ever is anothr, and
they know it.
Mark my words. Corbett won't en-
ter the ring again with Fitzsimmons
or any one else. He's Just after the
ad. He never did any fighting any
way. except with this land Julian
