CCRBETI'S OFFER.
Belief General That Fiizsimmons
Should Accent II.

Belief General That Fiizsimmons
Should Accept II.
The opinion seems to be general through
out the country that Fitzsimmons should
accept Corhett's offer to enter the ring.
The sum offered, $35 900, is a fortune,
and should Fitz refuse t. take ii down, he
will certainly lay himself liable to the
charge of cuwardice, an odium that has
never before attached u him.
The fact that FitZslmnons ha S refused
TO take any notice of Corbett's generous
offer has lost him a great many friends
and admirers all over the country.
The people in this country have grown
tired of listening tJ FitZsimmons and Julian
making their bluff announcements that
Corbett must fight Maher before they CON
sent to give him return fight, and as
Corbett has shown himself to be anxious
TO fight Fitzsimmons by the splendid offer
which Re has already made TO .Lanky
Bob, - they think the latter is really afraid
TO fight, and is holding off until he has
not dollar in the world before he Will
agree 10 get in the ring again.
As FiiZsimmons is q fighter who is look
ing Tor every dollar that is in sight, it
would not be surprise t. learn that ne is
waiting until Corhett increases his offer to
$4,000, and then agree TO fight him, pro-
viding, of course, Corbeit posts the entire
$4,000 with respectable newspaper or
sporting man.
Fitzsimnions seems to have something up
his sleeve which he expects to let go
sooner or later. and should Corbatt increase
his offer TO $4,000 or $50 900, he would
probably lose no time in notifying jim tfas
he can have another fight.

HANDLEBAR lNCOURT
A Test Case Will Come Before

The Outcome Awaited With Much

A test case of the recent bicycle

1t is believed in well-informed circles

If the game has really Sc en- its last good

pulIed d off those shows, besides being able
to make money out of the game, tried
to fix up several crooked deals with the
boxers whereby they would give a boxer
so much money to lay down or else lose
a decision on foul A few boxers were
accused of having taken this money and
Cult, and the persons who were behind the
crooked deal managed to make consider
able money. At first the honest people on
the coast who patroniZed these shows
did not discover the crooked work
but as Others tried the same game,
of course, il leaked out, and as the fol-
lowers of the sport in Frisco would not
patrontze the shows, the authorities out
there, lea rning Of the deals, have made
up their minds not to issue any more
