 The agreement l had with Corbett was that neither of us was 10 fight an outsider until our return match. He jumped at the chance when the pro posa was made-in fact, Pollock was after me for a return match as soon as l arrived in New York.
 T have been criticized for granting him a return date as early as I did. but I feel confident I can beat him again. He perhaps thought l would sidestep a second meeting and thus allow him to make capital out of that fact. but established a new precedent and made an agreement to meet him this winter in san Francisco. He agreed not to meet any one in the meantime and so did l. Now 1 hear that he has signed 10 meet Terry Mic
 
 in which he stated that he would meet all corners.
 All have to say to this statement is that if Corbett breaks the agreement he has with us he can wait until such time as I am ready to meet him. There are a lot of good ones running around the country and I will make him meet them before he gets another chance at me
 "I as the champion. passed up some easy money by passing up the dead ones. He. as the vanQuished, should be willing to do the same. 1T he violates this agreement we con slider that the deal to meet me is all off. and make other matches accord ingly."
 Britt is in great shape and says he weighs 135 pounds He has had g successful tour in the East and says he found the people anxious to see the western lad who whipped Corbett. He has been undergoing light training ali the while. and, as his right arm is now in good condition. would have no trouble in getting down 10 weight in- side of few days
