WILL TAKE THE BELT BY DEFAULT «; The Olympic Club Backs the Middle- Weight In His Determination. and Declares That Corbett Must . Fight or Surrender. New York, October 2. —William A. Brady, James J, Corbett's manager, was met by appointment at the Herald office yesterday at noon by Captain Cicero with Bob Fitzsimmons. Arthur Lumley and Charlie White. Captain Cicero posted a SI .000 forfeit for Fitz simmons to fight Corbett to a finish for the world's championship. "Brady post ed another SI.OOO and entered a counter challenge to Eitzsimmons. on behalf of Steve O'Donnell, the Australian fighter, traveling with Corbett. ‘■Will you coyer Fitzsimmons' money Brady was asked, after a long and heated argument. “No," he shouted. “Will you cover O’Donnell's money ?" Fitzsimmons was asked and he shouted “No’bso loudly that every one in the Herald building heard hint. “If you. Fitzsimmons, get the eham piouship by default, will you stand ready to defend it against al. comers?” Any Man But Peter Jackson. , “I will" he replied, “meet any man In the world but Peter Jackson, and he Js nbjectionable to me on the ground of color. ” This leaves the Corbett men with the best of the argument, for if Fitzsim mons„is declared the champion by de '♦ fault, after his Money remains up for thirty days, there is every reason to be lieve that he will have to cover O'Don nell’s money. During the long and loud argument both sides indulged in, Brady said: “If you accept O'Donnell’s challenge to fight in February, I will post 85,000 within a week and give it to Fitzsim mons if Corbett does not immediately afterwards fight him. Fitzsimmons is not in Corbett's class.” Turning to Fitzsimmons, he said: “You wouldn't fight Griffo, would you —go out of your class ?” “Yes,” said Fitzsimmons, “I'll fight any man for monev —Griffo, McAuliffe, or any one. I don’t want Corbett’s money as a present, I’ll fight him for his money.” Will Declare Fitz. Champion. Brady wanted to know what right Fitzsimmons bad to sign with the Olympic Club of New Orleans to fight - -f-JHt the reply he got was : “I am an American citizen and I have a right to sign anywhere.” A war of words' followed between. Brady and Lumley, which would have ended in a personal encounter if others present had not interfered. President Scholl, of the Olympic Club, of New Or • leans, telegraphed to Corbett yesterday: “We offer aj»25,000 purse, the winner to take ajl. Fitzsimmons has complied with requirement. If you will not defend the title, Fitzsimmons will meet the best man that can be found in the world in February, 1895. In the event that you do not answer and ac cept the challenge of Robert Fitzsim mons by Thursday, October 4th, we will declare Robert Fitzsimmons the champion heavy-weight of the world.” ROBERT YULEEFtOOMBS DEAD.
