 Denver, Col, Oct 12-William Roth well, better known as s.Young Corbett," 1" has sidestepped his match with Terry McGOvern, which was scheduled to take place at Hartford. His reason for so doing, he says, is because the management of the Nutmeg State club did not offer sufficient inducements for him to meet the Brooklyn terror. Cor bett is now anxious to meet Kid Broad or Dave Sullivan in Louisville, and has telegraphed there for match. He also received letter from Chicago ask ing him to join a party of pugilists who will go to England under the management of a Chicago sporting man.
 There appears to be stampede of fighters from managers. Dixon and Walcott have left O'Rourke, Jeffries separated from Brady, Broad and Simms have cut loose from Macias, Lavigne has said farewell to Roche, Neill has forsaken Bishop, and Dave Sullivan has broken away from the Louisville combination and joined Ma cias. Every day brings fresh reports of assertions. Spike Sullivan is said to seriously contemplate retiring from his own management. MaGden, Dunn, Herford. Wilson. Doughert, and others with fighting stables are on the anx- ious seat.
 Kid Carter and Joe Walcott have come to a satisfactory arrangement and their battle will be decided before the Twentieth Century A. C., San Francisco, next Tuesday night. The affair was arranged a few weeks ago, but at one time it looked as if the mill would have to be called off. Carter insisted on equal division of the purse money, whether he won or lost. Wal cOtt at first would not agree to this, but after consideration gave in.

 hard and were mixing it up in lively fashion when the knockout blow was landed
 Joe Macias, who is looking after the interests of Art Simms, gives as the reason for Kid Broad's break with him that the latter was jealous of Simms. Macias now declares that he will chal- lenge the winner of the BrOad-Sullivan fight next week for Simms- and pro- poses that the winner of that mill have a tilt with Terry McGoyern.
 Art Simms, the Akron lightweight boxer. has dropped his manager, Joe Macias. Macias had a talk with Simms. and hereafter Simms will look. after himself. In a few days Simms will begin training for his bout with Martin Duffy. which is scheduled to take place before the new Twentieth Century club of Detroit. The match Is for October 30 and the weight is 136 pounds.
 Jem Mace is still in the fighting game, judging from the following de tails of a recent encounter between the veteran and feminine opponent: "On Thursday last at the boxing pavfl- ion of Prof Le Neve. Birmingham, Jem Mace spared three exhibition rounds with the famous strong woman, Nora Sullivan. For a man of his ad- vanced age Mace is remarkably well preserved, and can still put up an in- teresting spar Miss Sullivan is also particularly clever with the gloves and the bout proved highly interesting"
