corbett Ready to Talk Fiobt.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Feb. 27. -
Jim Corbett has answered the telegram
sent him by William Delaney acting
manager for Jeffries. In reply Cor
bett says he will meet Delaney at Tom
ORourke's, in New York, on Sunday
afternoon, and will be ready to trans
act business in regard to making a.
match between himself and Jeffries.
Corbett, when seen this afternoon, said
that although he had sent a telegram
ne would take no steps toward arrang-
Il ing a match unless Delaney could show
authority to act for Jeffries. Corbett
appears sincere in his desire to get a
bout with the champion. He says he
will fight under any just conditions.
The only stipulation he makes is that
the bout shall take place not later than
June. This will give Jeffries four
months in which to get in condition.
Corbett said that he had one forfeit
up in New York, another one in San
francisco, and that he was willing Ell
Their or both of them should bA used
to cover any forfeit Jeffries may put
up. The ex-champion will fight be-
fore the club offering the largest purse.
He is perfectly satisfied with the S25.-
600 offered by the Fort Erie club, but
II Jeffries is particularly anxious to
fight in Frisco, he will accept the 500
OO0 purse offered by club in that city.
