FITzsrMMONs TO o'RoURKE

The Timoru blacksmith is out in
card addressed to Tom O'Rourke in
which he throws a few thirteen-inch
adjectives into the O'Rourke camp by
protfering to tell the sporting world
some things that would look queer In
print. He says that O'Rourke Is q
Spaniard. That his boxing shows are
frosts, and that he knows enough to
not get into ring with any ore where
ORourke has the say. Fitz says in
plain words that the truth and the Bos-
ton ex-carpenter never exchange
greetings as they pass by. That the
sporting world would be shocked 10
hear Of the wickedness concealed about
the person of O'Rourke, and that Shar-
key must cut loose from the Lenox
Athletic club people before he will con-
slider the sailorman's proposition for a
match. All of which is well enough
in its way. but will not satisfy the
public that Robert means business. IL
Fitzsimmons does not intend to fish
he should keep quiet and prepare bait.

CORBETr AND MCCOY.

AT Corbett's request the match with
Mccoy has been deferred until Oct. Is.
1t is duly announced that the men VIII
be brought together on that date at
Cheeklowga. Corbett IS now on his
way from San Francisco to New York.
He wants a month In which to get
back into shape, and Mccoy has
promptly conceded all that Corbett
asks. This would seem to indicate that
Mccoy is not alone willing but is anx-
ious to try conclusions with the con-
queror Of Sullivan. There is growing
belief in sporting circles that there is a
surprise in store in the big match. In
brief, that there Is reason to believe
that Mccoy will come out Of it the win
ner. He is entitled to all the credit If
he does. There will be some who will
tell you that IF Mccoy had met Cor
bett when he was in his prime, the re-
suit would have been different" out
that is always to be expected. If Me-
Coy can win the world is his-so far
as boxing is concerned. Fitzsimmons
will then be compelled to recognize the
young Hoosier or relinquish all claim
to the title Of Worlds Champion.
FITZ MAKES AN OFFER.
Mccoy will get battle on Oct Is,
whether Corbett keeps his engagement
or retires, as he has threatened to do.
AS soon as the statement that Corbett
contemplated quitting the ring was
made public, Fitzsmmons proffered his
services to fill in the date at the Haw
thorne club, on Oct. Is. The question
now is as to what Mccoy would do in
the event of Corbett announcing his
permanent retirement from the ring be-
fore the date fixed for their meeting
at Cheeklowga. There are rumors to
the effect that Mccoy has said that he
will take on Joe Choynski, should
Corbett decide that he does not care to
