New York. April 19-Robert Fitz-
simmons, who announced his willing
ness to fight James j. Jeffries in Call
fornia, was probably forced to this
action by the many unfavorable COM
ments made by the newspapers
throughout the country on his conduct
in lodging the issue and refusing to
meet Jeffries anywhere except in Eng
land
Another reason for the sudden
awakening of Bob from his lethargy
is the offer made by Jim Corbett to
take his place. There is no love be-
tween the ex-Australian and his former
opponent at Carson City. Sooner than
allow Corbett to benefit by his with
drawal from the match he would meet
Jeffries anywhere or under any condi-
lions.
Fitzsimmons. when interviewed this
afternoon, said;
1T is true that I have wired -Jeffries
stating that I am willing to meet him
in California I have come to the con
clusion that there is no other place
the bout can be pulled off in this coun-
try, and Jeffries viii not go to Eng
land. Corbett wants the match. I IN
derstand. but I have first call, and he
won't get it,
mons said: Il believe the east to be
the best possible place to pull off the
contest, and on that basis 1 worked
but it is clearly out of the question.
Therefore this brings the issue upon
the section you have always favored,
and, inasmuch as 1T has been intimated
in the public press and openly suggest
ed by various handlers, trainers and
hackers that I am seeking to avoid Il
meeting with you. I make this propo
sition:

state Of California, at any hour, or any
date you may select, and box you for
the championship of the world. either

best possible arrangements for all con
cerned, select your club. name the hour
