 Philadelphia. April 21.-Joe Tipman of Baltimore and Young Sharkey of this city were scheduled to appear in the wind-up at the Keystone Athletic club Saturday night, but did not go on because the management failed to carry out it's agreement with the box CTS. Both men were in the building and ready to appear in the ring, but failing to receive the compensation agreed upon positively refused to box.
 Philadelphia, April 21.-Tommy Feltz of Brooklyn and Jimmie Deyine of this city met ill the wind-up bout at the National Athletic club Saturday night and the spectators seemed to think Devine had the better of the fighting. Feltz was the aggressor from the start, but he struck a Tartar in Devine.
 In the third and fourth rounds De vine knocked Feltz down with short left arm joits, the Brooklynite taking the count in the third. In the last two rounds Feltz seemed to recover some of bis usual strength and skill and had q decided advantage over his opponent in these rounds. Both were fighting hard at the end of the sixth round
 In the semi-wind-up Joe Fairburn was entitled to a decision over Young Erne.

The agree ment will be sent to Corbett immedi- ately for his signature. The terms of the match are 12S pounds, for the featherweight championship.
 As these conditions were named by Corbett. Manager Roche does not think there will be the slightest trouble in clinching the match when the articles reach him. Sullivan post ed a forfeit of S1 1.000 to bind the match and he says that he will make a good side wager on the result if Corbett is willing.
 Sullivan has been after Corbett for some time and now. that a match is assured the little Irishman is satisfied. The bout will be good line on Corbett for his proposed bout with McGovern.
 A fight between Jeffries and Fitz- simmons for the heavyweight cham pionship of the world now seems as- sured. The champion has accepted Fitzsimmons' def and the latter has agreed to comply with the demand made by Jeffries to post a forfeit of S2,5OO as guarantee of good faith
 Fitzsimmons will post his money to- day and he is so confident that the fight will take place that he renewed training Saturday with a view to get ting himself in shape for the fray.
 Dr Ordway called down to Bath Beach Saturday to see the Cornish man regarding the offer made by the National Sporting club of London of $15,000, but failed to see him. Fitz- simmons does not think that this is enough for battle of such importance as his go with the Californian. and he believes that better offers will be re ceived later
 The San Francisco clubs have not yet been heard from. but it is. expected that they will be ready to hang up bet ter inducements than those offered bv the National Sporting club.
 FitZsimmons had q talk with his friend, Percy Williams, at the Orphe- um theater in Brooklyn, Saturday af- ternoon. and it was decided to make every effort to bring about a match as soon as possible.
 There has been too much talking already said Fitzsimmons. ssand I am getting tired of the whole thing. want to meet Jeffries and to show thai ] am sincere I will post my forfeit ot S2,50O on Monday to bind the match and will let Jeffries name the place where tue battle is to take place.
