THE PUGILlsTs
GREAT BATTLE
 TONIGHT
vallone and Darling Will Face Each Other in SimousviIIe
 Club Rooms.

Tonight down in the Simonsyille
 Athletic club rooms will take place
 another session of the Waterbury Physical Culture club incorporated. At this session "Fonsey" Vallone and Tom Darling will meet in six round go and it should be the hottest thing that was ever seen in this city. Both
 men have been trained with the one
 idea to end the battle as quickly as
 possible. There will be no love taps but the genuine article furnished by two lads who have it in for each oth-
 CT. All members of the club will be
 on hand and J. J. Murphy on Bank street, who has the membership role
 has been kept very busy for the past
 few days. There will be two other
 good battles as well.
 Afer much haggling Tommy Mur-
 phy and young Corbett were matched
 yesterday to fight to finish at the Casino A. c. of Tonopah, Nev, on or before March 20 for side bet of
 $5,000 and in all probability purse of $10,000. Jim Buckley and Jot Cans each posted $1,00O forfeit in behalf of Murphy and Corbett respec- lively to bind the match, the remain der. of the two $5.000 wagers to be posted two weeks before the fight
 There was long wrangle over the weight before an agreement was reached. Murphys manager insisted that Corbett should make 133 pounds ringside, but Cans and Harry Pollok, representing the Denver pugilist, de- murred. They offered to let $1,0OO of the side bet go as weight forfeit, but Murphy's manager held out for $2,50O.
 It was finally agreed that each side post $5,000 as a side bet. If either pugilist should weigh more than 133 pounds two hours before entering the ring, $2,500 of the $5,O0O would be forfeited to the other principal. If, however, the overweight should not exceed 133 pounds by more than two pounds, the $2,500 forfeit would be drawn down, while the remaining $2,500 would go as side bet. If the overweight should be more than two pounds, the whole forfeit would be claimed, leaving the men to fight for the purse exclusively. The purse will be divided on the basis of 60 per cent to the winner and 40 per cent to the loser. with the referee to be elected from these eligibles: Bob Fitzsim- mons. Tim Hurst, Jack McGuigan and Bob Edgren. From the above agreement, the inference is naturally drawn that Corbett will be unable to make the light weight limit and will be many pounds over weight, forfeit ing $2.500 in order to gain physical strength. Cans will train Corbett for the mill, as Harry Tuthill, Cor bett's regular handler, must join the New York Nationals in Los Angeles, as trainer. at least two weeks before the fight takes place.
 While no offer for the mill had been received yesterday, when the articles of agreement were signed at the Hotel Metropole. Cans assured the Murphy people that Manager Riley Of Tonopah would be in line with a SlO.00O purse. Cans and Britt will meet at Tonopah on March Is, as st Patrick's day falls this year on a Sunday. and the Corbett-Murphy bat tie will probably take place the day before as part of fistic carnival at the mining camp. This match is the outcome of the recent six round bout in Philadelphia. in which Murphy easily outpointed Corbett. The latter was not in good trim, it turned out, but Cans has since expressed the opinion that. properly trained, Cor bett will surely beat the Harlem box CT in a finish contest.
