If the Denver Boy Fights Any One
Before December the Match
Is Of.
Is Off,.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 26.-After
three months of jumping from the play
houses of one city to those of an
other, Jimmy Britt got back to his old
stamping grounds yesterday. To say
that the dashing little fighter was
glad to be here once more is putting it
far too mildly. Jimmy was to quote
himself, 'tickled to DEATH
Just what I'll do is question that
must be decided by circumstantialdl
must be decided by circumstances. If
Corbett adheres to his agreement not
to box before his match with me in
December, the problem is easy. If
Corbett takes on anybody before he is
scheduled to fight me, there is diff
ference. The match with Corbett will
then be off. and I'll take on any other
good man.
How would a match with Eddie
Hanlon suit you in case he wins from
Battling Neson?" was asked.
L have no preference" answered
the little champion. Any one that the
public wants to nave me fight | will
fight if he will make the weight, $50
pounds at o'clock. 1t is a matter of
money with me- The man that Will
draw the biggest houses will have first
chance at me. OF course, all this is
dependent on Corbett's throwing over
mis- agreement, and we don't know
whether or not that is going to happen.
My idea in holding Corbett to this
one fight with me is as much for his
good as it is for mine. He knows it,
too, but he's broke now and he needs
little money. so he's not very far
sighted. December would be the best
month of the year for the fight, and if
We wait until then we will draw a
bigger house than we would at any
other time during the twelve months
But if Corbett goes fighting around the
country he might get hurt or he might
get beaten. If that happened, he
would cease to be a card"

TROUSERS TRoUssEAU AT 80
New Jersey Maiden, Dress Reformer
Sure Her Suitor Will Return.

FINELAND, n. j.. July 26.-Miss
Susan Fowler, the trousered octoco-
marian, apostle of the mystic thing she
calls New Thought" and Vineland's
oldest character, has her wedding
trousers ready, and waits but the COM
ing of her lover from over the seas to
be made into a bride, as coy and
blushing as a girl of Is.
Nineland does not believe that Geo
P. Fowler, the Minnesota man who ar
rived here a few weeks ago and asked
Miss Susan to marry him, will ever re-
turn. He is in England, whittier he
sailed after one evening spent in his
inamorata's modest abode.
Miss Fowler has an unshakable faith
in the promises of her 46-year-old
Woorer. She regularly works her little
farm, looking after her material well
fare, but hour by hour she expects her
betrotned to return and consummate
that strange marriage of minds, on
which her heart has become set.
Today, however, came a letter con-
tanning the news that Fowler had trip
ped over an obstruction and had fallen
down u long flight of stairs adding, Il
don't know whether l can survive the
injuries or not"
Miss Fowler said: Il am panied at
the news, but delighted to get even a
line
Serene in her confidence. she has
prepared her trousseau, and proudly
exhibits it to callers at her little home
on the outskirts of the city.
Principally Pans.
This trousseau consists of a new
pair of pants, made by Miss F'owler's
to be measured by a tailor. These
wedding pants she has builded from a
own statement, cost her six cents a
yard.
Of ner wedding plans Miss Fowler
has nothing determined. AS her mar
riage is to be of the minds only, she
does not deem a religious or civil cere-
mony necessary.
She sees no reason why her lover
may not walk into the house Snd, af
ter some simple ceremony devised by
themselves, take up his residence there,
for better or for wOrs.
Dr.. Walkers Offer.
Very soon after her engagement to
George P. Fowler was announced, Miss
Fowler received a letter from DR.. Mary
Walker. the other famous female
wearer of male attire.
Dr. Walker congratulated Miss Fow-
Ter on her engagement, and extended
a cordial invitation to her to nave the
wedding ceremony performed in DR..
Mary's home.
The two women, each with singular
but similar bent, have been friends for
many years and Miss Fowler may
WELD to her friends persuasion and
be married at the Walker home.
In her demeanor, Miss Fowler has
not changed in the least since hef en-
gagement was announced some weeks
ago. She is still shy and modest,
blushnig like a young girl "hen sac
talks of the marriage she certainly
thinks is approaching.
