Britt and Corhett.

One of the conditions of the new match between Jimmy Britt, the Cali fornfa lightweight, and Young Cor bett is that the latter shall forfeit A-.- 800 if he fails to whip Lave Sullivan next week and therefore cannot enter the ring with his present title, ssfeath- erweight champion of the world. 7" Corbett meets Sullivan on the basis of .13O pounds, weigh in at 6 o'clock in the evening, and takes on Britt at 1Sl pounds, sealing at similar hour If Britt believes that he would be enti- tied to call himself featherwight cham pion in the event of victory over Cor bett he Is laboring under a false i'm pression. His fight with Corbett will be of much interest, no doubt, but it will be only meeting between two exceedingly clever nghtweights, with the prospect of a match with Joe Cans for the winner. Dave Sullivan is like Iy to make it warm for COrbett, as he IS in superb condition. But he would do well to curb his fiery temper. The other night he got into an altercat on with Kid Broad in 8 Frisco saloon and they went at 1t hammer and foags without stepping to put on the gloves When they had been pulled apart neither showed marks of the fray, al though Sullivan said that he had a sprained right hand. Fighters seldom, indulge in mix-nps of this kind for the very reason that they do not want. to hurt their hands. Sullivan says at he will beat Corbett to 8 certainty, but the betting will be the other way.

Boxing Notes.

Although Ben Jordan has been of fered a match with either Young Cor bett or McGovern, he shows no undue haste in getting from England to this country. An ocean trip with such a beating at the end Is not notably invit- ing.
 Young Griffo is out for the final count It was thought that he was getting back In the ring. but when he quits in the first round he Is done for good and all.
 Willie Lewis. the lightweight, is to meet Sam Langford. the colored light weight, for twelve rounds befnre the Warren A. Q. Of New Bedford, Mass, on February 22, Lewis has been train ing for the past week and is in good condition. Here in the east we have got & line on the much-herafded black from the Pacific coast, Jack Johnson. It hardly seems to lead to the championship. His showing with "Black Blll'' of Phil adelphia doesn't make him as good as Larry Temple. Tom URoprkes pei stopped Bill in four rounds, but, while ! Johnson had the better of the go throughout. Bill stayed the limit.

The latest proclamation from James J. Corbett regarding another fight with Robert FltzsimmOns is that he cannot tackle the Corpishman for two years because Of theatrical engagements, but that he might be induced to recon. slider if somebody should offer q $50,- GOO purse. It was only month or so ago that Gentleman Jim'' was in a fury over the desire of EItzsimmons to repeat the Carson City trick. Let me at him!" cried Gorbett, although Fitz was more than thousand miles away. On second thought Corhett de clared that Fitz was not worth talking about for the excellent reason that he had joined the s'has been" class. But this i'd not detsr the Cornishman from making the statement that he would fight Corhett, winner take all, or for fun, and that he would wager whole savings bank against q plugged nickel that the gentlemanly pugilist would not last as long as he did in Nevada, This frankness seemed to close Cor bett's mouth. and it remained closed for several weeks, until its owner de cided to make the above announce ment.
