4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, TTHAS AN EYE IN MOURNING Trainer Hickey Lands on the Big Cornishman's Countenance. LIVELY BOUTS AT COOK’S RANCH. ! The Auburn-Haired Lad Plays Even by Closing an Optic for Roeber. SETTLING THE DISPUTE OVER| THE RULES. R feree Siler Hits Upon a Scheme That Will Prevent Threatened Disagreements. CARSON, Nrv,, Feb. 24 —George Siler, ihe celebrated Chicago sportsman, who is to Bct as referee of the world’s champion- ship battle between Corbettand Fuzsim- | mons, went out to Cook’s ranch this | morning and put in several hours of earp- est and sted conversation with the | Cornishman. It was all about Fitzsim- mons’ recently developed and wholly unexpected objection to that clause in the of Queensberry rules which per- or both of the contestants to ee arm in clinches and to put punch if possible in the breakaway. Siler did not mince words with Bob; neither cid he essay to coerce him into agreeing to fight under rules not to his liking. What be did say was to call the | Janky list's attention to the fact that, | having once agreed to let:-‘“evervthing | go" in the mill, it would look bad for him | 10 start in quibbling over technicalities at | this late stage of the game. Siler said | s he was concerned, he would | to stand by any arrangement | sts would agree upon, and he would guarantee to decide the battle, if necessary, upon the fulillment or failure 10 carry out that same agreement. What he would insist upon would be an out-and- | out understanding between the principals | and the referee before the trio entered the ring. He wanted no room left for com- | vlaints or misconceptions of the rules | after the fight was over. | Fitzsimmons was stubborn at first. He | even reiterated his declaration of Tuesday afterncon that he would not fight if he was compelled to adopt tactics he did not like. But as the conversation wore along ne became more good-natured and finally | worked himself into a realiy ressonable | rame of mind. “The point of the whole matter is just | this”” said Fitzsimmous, finally. “I do not intend to announce thus early in the game just what methods I am going to | employ in the ring with this man Corbett. | It would be a pretty how-do-you-do for " me to notify him in advance as to whether | or not I zoing to hit in the clinches, | or break away fair and square. | “That would give him an opportunity | to devote ail of his practicing hours to discovering a means for counteracting my | assaults. No, I say, let all this go until we step into the ring. It will then be time | enough to announce what rules shali gov- ern us, and neither of us will bave any advantage over the other. 1s mnot that fair enough? I do not want to be accused of quibbling over trifles nor of showing | any sign of the white feather; but I want uare deal and propose to have it ire professional future depends mits el hit with a in upon the resuit of this fight, and I don’t | ©f them. What am I bere for?” propose to agree to anythine governing | the conduct of the contest which isapt| 1o put me to a disadvantage. That's ail | there is to it.” Siler evolved a theory to-night which he assured me he thought would solve the whole difficalty and probably send the men into the ring together on St. Patrick’s day on comparatively amicable terms. At the same time Siler with the way Fitzsimmons is acting. When both Corbett and the Cornishman agreed that they would fight under the plain Marqguis of Queensberry rules, thus Ppermitting them to use their fists in the clinches and breaks, the referee was im- mensely pleased, for he realized that such an understanding would remove a load of responsibility from his shoulders and do away with the possibility of procrastina- tion in the ring over alleped fouls and supposéd unfair tactics, But Fitzsim. | Who was recently matched to fight Jef- mons’ objections to the clinch c:hnseE broke open the old sore and it began to | il look as though there would be no ena of | Pleased upon beholding hisold sparring | right so far as trouble in consequence. Siler’s plan now is the best that counld be devised under the circumstsuces for averting the threatened rupture. He proposes to compile immediately a com- lMR. CORBETT THROUGH A WOMAN'S EYES. s not at all pleased | MR. CORBETT AND THE LADY. (INTERCEPTED.) | CARSON, NEv., Feb. 24, 1807. To the Journal-Examiner (Copyrighted): | I am suffering from a severe attack of writers’ cramp and my letter will be brief, 1 am pleased to see that you gave two full pages of | to-day’s paper to the fight. 1 think it would be a stroke of enterprise to print nothing but fight matter until the thing comes off. All my ac- quaintances read nothing else. | One of our lady reporters showed up to-day and was warmly wel- comed. | read and approved her letter and sent it with this. S5 Would it not be.well to buy up and destroy the issue containing the editorial on women at prize-fights ? It was printed at the time of the Sharkey-Fitzsimmons match, which brought us so much profit and so little credit. Our readers have probably forgotten the editorial, but the other papers might get hold of it and make us trouble. Thank heaven, all we write now is copyrighted, and when we pubhsh a fake or make a break in the editorial columns it cannot be quoted against us. The lady reporter’s article follows. ; COPYRIGHTED CORBETT. BY A COPYRIGHTED WOMAN. Two events in one day! How few of my sisters can write that. Many of them are born, grow up and pass into the cold shades of eternity without having one occur- rence in their lives worth recording. But I—happy I—have had two great events within the short compass of tweaty-four hours. I saw Corbett and I fainted. Isaw him first. I was sitting in the local room meditaiing upon my romantic career as reporter when I heerd a voice from the editorial ssnctum. ‘‘Hurl yourself into & hack," it said, “‘catch the first train for Nevada and interview Corbett. Your position depends upon your success. We must have t nterview. Never mind the expense, the more you spend the better. Remember that Mr. Hearst is a multi-millioniare." How my heart palpitated, . To think that 7 should have been chosen for this great errand; that 7 should have been selected to speak to the Great Gladiator of the Golden West, Ab, me! Iam to be famous thus. A glance at the reflection of my hat in the little mirror I always carry, a hurried plunge down the dusty stairs and I am out in the broad sunlight of Mission street. A moment more and I am at Lotta’s Fountain. The little dwar! boy holds up a bunch of fragrant dew-bejeweled violets. *Please Miss.” he pleads, “buy them, Me mother 80 sick."” In a moment the dainty blossoms are in my bosom and on their way to Corbett, I have been told that the little awar! boy is 30 years old and owns a nursery. 1 Gon't believe it. I don’t believe it because I don’t want to believe it. I will give the violets to Mr. Corbett. 1am not the woman who gave violets to Mr. Durrant. I gave him dalsies and sweet peas. How slow this car rans. I do not wonder that the people dislike Mr, Vining. 1 hate, I ioathe, I detest him. Thank heaven, I am at the ferry at last. In with the crowd, while the great bell peals and pesls and peals. What does it say to them—to the tnrong that hastens on board. Alas, I know not, but to me it says one thing and says it over and over azain with persistent vehemence: “She is going to see Mr. Corbett, the great Mr. Corbett,” and the gulls sereamed, “She is going to see Mr. Corbett, the great Mr. Corbett.” I felt that people were looking at me. Something had told thera that I was to wear the laurel crown of fame and be known wherever Corbett is known. In the car I drew a veil over my face and sent my mind adrift on a sea of delicious reverie. I thougbt of the glorious opportunities opening on every hand to advancing womanhood. The great struggle for place in the ranks of journalism was won. A woman had been selected to interview Corbett! I would write to Susan B. Anthony and dear Miss Shaw and tell them that they had not toiled in vain, I dropped a tear as I thought of the legion of women hiddenaway in nameless graves who might have been great and glorious. Then I thought of my own death. Helas! 1 thought of my monument. It would be s plain but costly shaft. No name would be carven upon its marble face, but there would be the ali-sufficient inscription: gmrmmmnrmmm o The First Woman Who Interviewed Corbett Lies Here, 3 WWWW Underneath would be the line: o Erected to the Below by W. k R. Hearst. The Exawminer Is the Monazch of the Dailies, o txfl.wmu.v.mn_uun It was enough. The train rattled on and at last Carson was in sight. Our sylphlike Sporting Editor met me at the depot, and greeted me with effusive cordialit; 1 think he overdid the thing. Can he be jealous? The supreme moment came at last. I was in the presence of James J. Corbett. 1 recognized him at once by our copyrighted pictures of his pompedour, Oun I describe my emotions! Can I putin cold and chilling words the rapture with which I gazed on that form! Never! Ah, me—never! He has the bead of Greek god. His neck rises above his shoulders like s tower of ivors.

These they will be allowed to pon- der over for a week or two, and when Biler thinks they Bave had ample time to decide whether or not they will abide by these rules he will favor them with a visit and ask for their nitimatum. If both agree to accept the regulations as they stand, why there is an end to the trouble; or if they mutually decide upon any amendment it will be equally satisfactory 10 the referee. On the other hand, if they disagree—one want ng.one thing and the other something else—then Siler proposes 10 take the law into his own hands, as he has a perfect right to do, and arbitrarily announce the rules that will govera the contest. In the event that the latter course should be found compulsory Siler will favor Fitzsimmons to the extent that he will not issue his proclamation until the morning of the battle. That seems to be what the Cornishman wants, his aim be- ing to prevent Corbett from concentrating his preparatory work on any one particu- Jar line of fichting. Corbett mustdo some guessing. But just the same it seems to be a foregone conclusion thatif the final decision as regards the tactics to be fol- lowed is left to Siler he -will decree that hitting in the clinches and breaks will be tolerated and shall not be considered foul.

The event out at Corbett’s training quarters to-day was the arrival of Billy Delaney, the veteran trainer, and Jeffries, the well-known young gisnt from Los An- geles. Delaney, of course, is here to take full charge of the training of Corbett. He has made the big Californian ready for ali of his great battles, and, indeed, is said to be Jim's masaot, Billy worships the very ground Corbett walks on, and it would break his heart if James ever trained for a fignt under any other than the veteran's watchful eye, Delaney did not remain long in town after his arrival. He was anxious to be near Corbett, and fretted and stewed until a conveyance wes finally engaged to take him out 10 the springs. I had a little chat with Billy this after- noon, after he had had an opportunity to watch the pompadonred athlete at his work, The trainer was bubbing over with admiration for his protege. ‘Jim is not only himselt again, but he looks better to me than he ever did be- fore,” said Billy. “Helooked well enough when Isaw hima fortnight ago in Ban Francisco, but heis a hundred pef cent better now. There is no getting around the fact that I thought it was all up with Jim after he made that poor showing with Sharkey. I fearsd he was going back, but it turns out that that experience was the saving of him. Nobody knew better than he that he had made a mistake, and he set about immediately to rectily it. His present condition shows how faithfully he atiended to the rebuilding process. Alfter watching him carefully this afterncon I satisfiel myself that he has already reached the top notch of condition: Tcan see readily that my chief task from now on will be to prevent him from overwork- ing himself and growing stale. He is a elutton for work and always has to be held in check during his training with a band ofiron. He is ready to fight right now, and all we have to do is to keep him where be is. I am going to start him out for road work 1mmediately and get his wind perfect. ‘What do I think of the outlook? Why, Corbett in a waik. He will treat Fitzasa cooper would & barrei. I do not think Fitz is dead game and never did think so, He does not like a hard punch, and he is going to get lots of them in this fight be- fore he lies down." There has been some talk among the Coroett hosts as to whether Delaney or Charley White is to have the distinction of being the chie! trainer of the camp. This was settled for good to-aay, when Corbett announced that Delaney would wield the baton, White's services will be valuable because he has trained Fitz and claims to be familiar with ail of the Cor- nishman’s weak points. Jeffries’ duty at the springs will be to spar with Corbett twice a day. The bulky lad will not put on the gloves with Jim to-day, but will make his debut in the morning. He has never boxed with Oorbett, and naturally feels a_little nervous about the first meet- ing, Corbett realized this, and it was his own suggestion that Jeffries rest until the morning. “L know how it is myself,’’ he said, patting Jefiries on the back good na- turedly, “we will go into the handball court in the morning all by ourseives ana get thoroughly acguainted. After we get so we understand each other we can box in tne presence of company.” Corbett's work during the day did not differ from his usual ‘routine of bag- punching, hanaball playing and boxing. He busted bis best bag while beating a tattoo on it, and knocked Billy Woods be, and only he, down once while sparsing with him. Big Jack McVey, the wrestier, has so far recovered from his rzcent illness that be will be able to resume his daily prac- tice with James J to-morrow morning. The programme for the 16th of March has been arrancel at Jast. W. K. Wheelock, Stuart’s ebief lieutenant, an- nounced to-day that George Green of San Francisco and “‘Mysterious” Billy Smith of Boston had been matched to fight to a finish for the welter-weight championship of the world and s purse of $3000. The second number on the bill will be 3 battle for the feather-weight championship be- tween Dal Hawkins of San Franciaco and Martin Flaberty of Pniladelpbia. The purse for this contest will be $2500. Flaherty is the lad who recently defeated Frauk Erne, the only boxer who eyer got a decision over Gecrge Dixon, the colored phenomenon of Boston. The date of the big live bira shooting tournament is not detinitely settled, but it looks to-night as though it would be fixed for the 17th of March, 1mmediately succeeding the Corbett-Fitzsimmons fight. The conditions of the shootare: $1000 added, $50 entrance fee; including tne birds, thirty yards rise, under the Ameri- can Association rules. The money is 1o be divided on the basis of 50, 30 and 20 per cent. The Kansas City star championship trophy, now held by Elliott, goes with the first money. Entries close with L M.

Secretary Wheelock now roughly esti- mates the seating capacity of the pavilion at from 17,000 to 20,000. The exact num+ ber of seats cannot be calculated until more perfect biue prints are proved. The plans were sent to San Francisco, it being impossible to obtain clearcopies in Carson owing to the extreme cold. The super- structure of the arena is shooting up hikea mushroom, and it now seems probabls that work will be completed at an earlier date thsn that originally fixed—March 12. Dan Stuart was well enough to be out of doors to-day, but fear of & relapse has made him cautious, and he will stick to his room for a day or solonger. The weather is moderating, and roads will be fit for wheeling to-morrow. o Ol OLMYPIC CLUB REJECTED. San Francisco Kennel Club Admitted to Membership in the American Kennel Club at New York.

CHICAGO, IrL, Feb. 24.—Teddy Hale, the lrish champion, lost all hope of win- ning a prize in the six days’ cycle race at Tattersall’s and abandoned the contest to- . He had ridden since midnight, and shortly after 8 o'clock this morning, in company with Trainer Johnson, laft the building for a botel in the neighborhood. Expressions of regret that Hale could not finish the contest are numerous. Schineer still bas a commasding lead over the field, and maintains that he will bold this advantage to the end. He isin excellent condition and is riding hard. Ashinger, however, will try to make up the gap between himself and the leader before the six days< are up. and is irying bard to make a constant gain. Miller will also make a figit to win, but 1t is the gen- eral opinion that Schineer will ki lead. This evening, however, action was irregular, but little felt for his condition.
