FIGHTS IND FIGHTERS.
Billy Delaney Assumes Manage
 ment of Jeffries's Show.

He Laughs at the Challenge of Jim
 Corbett- Opinions Pro and Con
 About Jeffries-Young Corbett and
 McGovern are Now Doing Whole
 Lot of Talking.
 Terry McGovern who, barring Young Corbett, is conceded to be the best featherweight in America, and Ben Jordan, the premier fighter of Great Britain at the weight, have been matched. It has been question of only $250 expense money for McGov- ern that has kept the arrangements back for so long time, but yesterday Sam Harris was notified by cable gram that his request for $1 ,OOO would be granted, and in return the National Sporting club of London was apprised that everything was o. K. All this means that the little fighters will meet for twenty rounds on Derby night for purse and good sized bet.
 In addition to this contest McGov- ern would like to know something pos itive about his long deferred battle with Young Corbett. 'If he thinks I do not want to fight" says McGovern, II will make this proposition to him:
 T will fight Corbett at any place and under any conditions at any time after two weeks. I will meet him in q cellar, or a garret, or in a back room. Let them lock us in and leave the key inside. The man who after the battle unlocks the door and comes out will be the winner.
 If Corbett doesn't wish a private fight let him meet me some time in the near future at small club that can guarantee to pull the battle off. I'm not looking for a big purse. So anxious am I to meet Corbett that if enough money to cover my training expenses goes to the winner I will be perfectly satisfied
 If Corbett means business let him come on now. Otherwise no more in situations about my unwillingness tc meet him.
 This statement from Terry came af. ter some remarks by Corbett, in which the champion said that if McGoverT had been as anxious to fight as he the battle would have taken place some time ago.
 While I am going to San Francisco to fight.' said Corbett. "I would pre- fer to stay in the east and meet Me Govern. I am anxious to get anoth CT chance at him, for know car beat him, and you can bet there is [ good beating coming to him when wt get in the ring.
 'sI have worked hard for months tc have this match come off, but there is one thing want to say, and tha is, if McGovern were as anxious tt meet me as I have been to meet hin the fight would have taken place long ago.
 ..It seems to me that McGoverr does not care to. fight, but wants t let the public think he is ready to dc business at a moments notice
 '.Since I fought McGovern have engaged in eight battles, while Nc

and the champion, the latter said:
 ''I'm dead tired of his bounding. If he wants to fight me to a finish for q side bet of $10,000 or more I'll meet him, but this limited round don't go. I'm not paying any attention either to Corbett or the Fort Erie club"
 Pugilists of all classes and their followers are much interested in the refusal of Jim Jeffries to sign the Fort Erie clubs articles for q twenty round bout with Jim Corbett. Many profess to believe that Jeffries is afraid to meet Corbett, and others say that Jeffries is right in the stand he has taken that as champion he has the right to dictate terms.
 Tom Sharkey says that the purse of $25.O0O offered by the Fort Erie club for battle between Jeffries and Corbett is the largest that can be ex- pected. He declares that in twen- ty-round go Corbett would be Jeff's u1aster. Billy Muldoon says he be- lieves Jeffries is afraid of Corbett, and that Kid Mccoy stands ready to give either man fight within four weeks time. Kid Garter also says that Jeff fries must be afraid, and in his opinion Corbett would get the decision in q twenty-round fight. Tn not accept- ing Jim Herman's purse Jeffries shows shat he is afraid to go on with Cor bett,' is the view Philadelphia Jack O'Brien, Jack Root, the lightweight champion of the world and Joe Bern stein take of the matter.
 Jeffries, however, has many friends who back him up in his refusal to meet Corbett on Corbett's terms. Prominent among them is George Si- Ter, who has refereed more big fights than anyone else in this country. He believes that as champion Jeffries has the right to dictate terms, and he is positive that Jeff is not afraid to meet Corbett Still, Siler says, Jeffries possibly has his doubts about being able to stop Corbett in a twenty round bout Gus Ruhlin, Mike Don- ovan, Peter Maher and George Gardner all uphold Jeffries and say he is right in demanding fight to finish.
 Meantime, nothing more has been heard from Jeffries. and Corbett con- tinues to assert that unless he re- ceives a quick reply he will declare | himself champion by default and will defend the title against all corners.

Govern has only taken part in one or two I guess he has been standing aside, thinking that I woulG4 get my block knocked off, so that he would not have to tackle me again.
 Now, it is said that there are very few places where my bout with Nc Govern can be pulled off. That may be so, but if McGovern wants to fight will find place for him to meet me. have not got much money, but 1 will get backing and meet him in pr1- vate for as big a side bet as he cares to make. I know I can give him the same dose I gave him at Hartford, and the fight cannot take place too soon to suit me-"
 Before starting for San Francisco Young Corbett said that he had ac- cepted an offer from the Penn Art A. c. of Philadelphia for a six-round bout with McGovern as soon as he got through with Eddie HanIon at the Yo- semitic club, San Francisco, on Febru- ary 25. Harris says he is willing to let Terry meet the champion. a Joplin, Mo, Feb 6-The Jeffries- Fitzsimmons show arrived here We'd nesday morning. Billy Delaney, the veteran trainer, met the combination in Kansas City and at once assumed the entire management. Kid Eagan, who has been filling the position since the retirement of Clark Ball, will oc- cupy the dual role of treasurer and secretary.
 Tn speaking about the report that Jeffries and himself had quarreled and were about to separate, Delaney said: Jeff and I never were on better terms. We understand each other thoroughly, and barring the little diff ferences all trainers have with their proteges, there never has been any trouble between us"
 T never saw Jeff look better" he continued. If he can continue to maintain his present shape 1t will be many years before he is supplanted. Jeff weighs 225 pounds, and if he had to fight next week he could whip any man in the world as easily as if he had trained month.
 l 'sThis talk of Corbett is amusing. He challenged Jeff just after he de feated Fitzsimmons, and, as everyone knows, his challenge was accepted. We'll, we loafed around Frisco for four months and no more was heard of Windy Jim.' He continued to do his molnologue stunt and never men, toned fighting until he read the re- ports that Jeffries and Fitzsimmons were doing such an enormous business. Then he decided to cut into the wind tanning game.
 "Corbett may fight Jeffries as soon as our tour is ended, but I doubt 1t. There is one thing certain, and that is that we will not split the money, and of course that's what Foxy Jim is looking for Jeff will fight him for all the money he can command as a side bet, winner take the entire purse 1 If Corbett wants this there will be nc trouble in arranging the match" Jeffries says that his brother Jack has retired from the ring. "He is I selling mineral water for Los An. l geles firm," said the champion, s'and I am drinking it to boost his game Jack is good, steady boy, and he will l get along well in any business l When told that Jim Corbett and the International A c. of Fort Erie, Ont, had posted forfeits for twenty. round bout between Pompadour Jim

Buchanan, whose mounts were recent ly limited by the stewards to the horses owned by his employer, Sam Hildreth. had the mount on Telamon, who ran in the name of Mrs. $. c. Hildreth. The horses performance was extremely un- satisfactory both to the owner and the officials. Off at the head of the bunch, the horse dropped back to the last place and in the last few strides passed If You Dare, who was used up making the pace, and finished fourth. Hildreth lodged complaint with the stewards, and an order was issued debarring Buchanan from all privileges of the track.

M. J. Dwyer Failed to Win Match at
 Meriden.
 Meriden, Feb 6.-Oscar Johnson of Hartford won a wrestling match from M. J. Dwyer of New Haven here last night. According to the terms of the contest Dwyer was tos throw Johnson three times in an hour. Dwyer gain ed two falls in fifty-eight minutes and was unable to get the third fall in the remaining two minutes. The match was for $50 side Reinecke of Pittsburg challenged both Dwyer and Johnson for match for $1OO and 80 per cent of the gate receipts. Each man accepted the challenge mad the contests will take place in this city next Wednesday night. Alfred Au- derson of Hartford, Johnson's trainer and manager, will match him against any wrestler in the country in his class.
 New York, Feb -Graeco-R Roman wrestling had an inning at the Dew ey theater last night where Harvey Parker is meeting all corners this week. Parker faced August Faust of this city in a fifteen minute bout and the latter proved a big surprise party. Faust availed himself of ev- cry opportunity and buffeted Parker about to his hearts content. At the end of the eighth minute the pair were off the mat and the referee, Frank Rechheimer, had considerable difficulty in bringing them to the cen ter of the carpet.
 l Faust at the ninth minute played for a fore hammer lock, but could only gain a weak half Nelson. As Parker lifted up his head Faust quickly got under him and nailed him for a dou- l ble Nelson. Slowly but surely he had Parker's shoulders almost to the mat, when the little fellow got cleverly away.
 The final minutes were spirited and when Faust was declared the winner the crowd cheered. Jack Mccormick of Philadelphia is scheduled as Par ker's opponent tonight. They will go on under catch-as-catch-can rules.
