THE CHICAGO CITBOy ICIiE THTJRSD AY MORNING IMARCII 11 1897 8 LEAVE FOR HOI SPRINGS SILER EXPLAINS THE RULES A fence not one caring to venture near the excited dog Mrs Fitz begged Bob to desist and come into the house but Fitz refused until Yarrum showed signs of tiring and was apparently ready to quit He was finally forced into the yard and left to lick his wounds and meditate upon the folly of fighting prize fighters After this show of savage Instinct Yarrum will probably be watched more closely or the consequences are likely to be serious test on a technicality and to avoid any such contingency through hitting in clinches with a free arm and in a breakaway I will rule: "That you be permitted to hit in clinches with one arm free and also in breakaways With this interpretation this rule announced a week before the contest you will both have ample time to practice these important points and will have no cause for complaint should either of you be caught off your guard Pivot blows missing with either hand and whipping back with the elbow meeting an opponent with or deliberately striking him with the elbow or knees are barred and will be considered foul Should any of the above blows have any material effect on the result of the contest I shall use my judgment ac- cordingly" Should any of the seconds of either of the principals enter the ring durlnrj a round to render any assistance to the fighters or prevent them from crmmitting a foul or to throw water upon them it shall be considered a fouL Coaching by the seconds during the rounds is ob close watch has been" kept

Pugilist Corbett a letter and a Yale flag with Yale's best wishes for Corbett's success over Fitzsimmons were summoned before Dean Wright of the faculty today: Payne Whitney of New York son of ex-Secretary William Whitney Wads-worth of Geneseo Simons of Brooklyn Gouverneur Morris of New York Bruce Clark of Chicago McLaughlin of Cleveland Rodgers of New York Forsyth Wickes of New York and Turn-bull Jr of Morristown The Yale News contains a drastic editorial utterly repudiating the sentiments expressed in the letter and demands a public apology In the same issue of the News the men who

This Tear "Will -Be the Largest Ever Seen in a League Game Western League and Western Association Schedules Arranged NATIONAL LEAGUE CHICAGO TEAM IN TRAINING When Captain- Anson find jiis band Of colts lined up' at the railway liepot yesterday morning to take the train for Hot Springs President Hart let go of themost satisfactory smile that ever crossed his face In the spring of the year The fine feeling which made beautiful lines in 'his 'face went down his arms and found expression in his hands These he rubbed as only a man can do who is possessed of a feeling of the most Intense satisfaction After the coifs had departed for their training ground tti the Arkansas Ozarks the president let a little of his feeling come out of his mouth FIRST RIDE DAN HICKET "I have never seen" he said "such an athletic crowd of ball players at this season of the year Take the 'old man' to begin with He is down to 210 pounds In weight which is low for him at this season of the year He has been playing handball all winter and is as hard and fit aa an athlete on the eve of an important contest The rest of the party are in splendid condition and when they reach Hot Springs will be fit to commence playing pretty fair spring ball" Ten members of the team took the train in-Chicago yesterday McCormick joined these at St Louis As there are four already located at Hot Springs fourteen will answer the roll call today Connors who is in Massachusetts will join the team next week Everett will go direct from Denver while Lang will be on hand as soon as possible after the Corbett-Fitzslmmons fight -There will be eighteen men In the field within a fortnight and Anson will have them in fine shape for the opening of the league season The present opinion of the captain is that he will open the season stronger than ever before This is an an nual opinion but there is unusual force to it this year The team today ia the biggest that was ever seen in a league game and all of the larger men carry quality with their size io This year nothing of any consequence will be done In the way of experiments as was the case last year The experiments In the pitcher's box and at second base were particularly disastrous The club starts in the season fully confident that they are in the first six teams About this there Is no concern but the place they will hold in the first half is the matter of speculation There is promise in the teamwich goes far beyond the certainty of being among the best and Captain Anson promised when he left to nurse this promise very carefully President Hart said the club never started out with a better prospect of securing the pen-ant a'jf After three weeks of work at Hot Springs the team will go to Kansas City From there the club goes to Indianapolis and after playing two games will ppen the regular league season at Cincinnati April 22 One thing which Captain Anson is pleased with about his team is the fact that there is no one place in it where an Injury cannot be quickly repaired "This means too" he said "that while we" will be able to open the season strong we will run little risk of going stale There is a strong enough reserve to give the men a rest when the wire edge gets off their playing" The "old man" declared with emphasis that he personally would play the game of his life this season CLEVELAND SIGNS AN INDIAN Cleveland March Manager Tebeau of the Cleveland team went to South Bend Ind yesterday on a little scouting expedition and the result was that he signed Sockalexis the player whom several teams have been) trying to land for some time Tebeau first notlcedi thia player last season when he was on the Holy Cross college team at Worcester Mass An effort was made to secure him but it failed at the time and' a Jleferee Gives His Construction of Some Mooted Points Sends a Letter to Each Principal in the Coming Fight Allows Hitting in Clinches With One Ann Free and on Breakaways Keither or tlie Pngilists Pleased With His Interpretation RULES OF THE FICHT SILER INTERPRETS THEM Carson Nev March 10 One week from today Fitzsimmons and Corbett will battle for the heavy-weight championship of the world A staff correspondent of The Chronicle saw both men this afternoon Corbett was lean and drawn to the strong lines of a greyhound His eye was as clear and as blue as the sky and when he stretched himself upon the bench at his headquarters for the noon rub he declared that he was never better in his life This of course is what every prize fighter says of himself on the eve of battle but there can be no doubt that Corbett is now a splendid specimen of a gladiator Seven men out of ten in town say that he is a certain winner Five of them are ready to bet money that the Cor- nishman will not put "a glove on him Out at Cook's1 ranch Fitzsimmons is as fine a looking an animal as sporting men have ever trailed their bets behind' Martin Julian is not boasting Fitzsimmons has little to say But men who have seen the two fighters and these men by the way are men who have seen Corbett and Fitz in their biggest battles declare that all this talk about 10 to 7 money is nonsense and many of them are willing to bet that there will be no odds when the two men leap into the ring-cue week from today TRAVEL THE SAME ROUTE This morning the two fighters missed each other by an accident Corbett was at the penitentiary where he was much interested in the prehistoric footprints in the sandstone at that place He was willing to bet that the man who made those tracks could lick him So soon as the prisoners knew that Corbett was within the stone enclosure they sent up a cheer although not one of them was permitted to look at the champion While Corbett was stalking around the sandstone where some old timer had left his footprints Fitzsimmons robed in a pair of light canvas trousers and a blue sweater passed the place It has been his custom heretofore to spend an hour or so at the institution but this time although he did not know that Corbett was inside the grim building he jcgged on down the muddy road and barely missed meeting the champion An estimate of these two men after tern days careful and painstaking observation leaves the prophet still In doubt Corbett is strong in fine form and confident Thia may be said of Fitzsimmons also BILLY BRADY'S VIEWS Billy Brady who as everybody knows is with Corbett in this battle the greatest in his life said to a staff correspondent of The Chronicle last night: "It should be 5 to 1 that Corbett wins The big fellow was never in better shape in his life He can punch harder and he is more frisky on his feet than I ever saw him But mind you I have some doubt about the other fellow and the doubt lies this way Fitzsimmons is a dangerous man Corbett knows that as well as I do It is only a question of who lands the first blow If Corbett gets it in the neck he will stand up in the ring like John Sullivan did at New Orleans and say that he was licked by a better man" A man who was sitting at another table asked this question: "If this is so why should the betting be 5 to 1 In favor of Corbett?" Brady scowled over a glass of wine and made this confession £WelL on the square I think that's a little rough in the betting line but I will say that Fitzsimmons dangerous as he is (and wd give him credit for that) will not put a glove on the champion" Mrs Fitzsimmons had a story to tell to the correspondent of The Chronicle this afternoon "I have never seen Bob fight a man in my life but I am confident that I am not going to be a disappointed woman on the 17th You may say for me to all our friends in the east and west that Bob was never in better shape or more confident of victory" SILER LAYS DOWN THE RULES All of the sports here were much interested this afternoon in the statement issued by Referee Siler to Corbett and Fitzsimmons giving the boxers his interpretation of the Queensberry rules The important docu ment follows: Carson City Nev March 10 1897 James Cor bett Esq Robert Fitzsimmons Esq Gentlemen: Herewith I hand you each the rules of the marquis of Queensberry under the provisions of which you are to contest for the heavy-weight championship of the world in this city on March 17 1897 Accompanying the rules I hand you some sug gestions and instructions These are based on careful study research equity and fairness You are principals to what will be the greatest con test of modern times You have both trained faith fully and assiduously The principals and the purse are alike engrossed to an extent never before made manifest in a like encounter While it is a departure to issue instructions to the combatants of a battle like this a week in advance of the meeting I tliinK the importance of the affair fully warrants this move I am confident that you both want to win solely and wholly on your merits Neither of you can afford to have the slightest suspicion of doubt cloud the title which will belong to the victor To that end I herewith hand you the rules and certain interpretations under which you arer to battle A copy of the marquis of Queensberry rules was sent with the letter which continues as follows: The first three rules need no comment as they are plain simple and understood by almost every body Rule 4 however requires some analysis as some of" the points are often misconstrued The rule spys: "If either man fall through weakness or other wise he must get up unassisted ten seconds to bo allowed to do so the other man meanwhile to return to his corner" This of course was intended to prevent a man landing over his fallen opponent it probably never occurred to the framer of the rules that at times a man either falls or is knocked down in his opponent's corner If then the man on his feet retires to his corner as the rules direct he will be standing over his fallen opponent and doing Just what the rules mean he shall not do To avoid all disputes on this score I will simply instruct you in case of a breakdown to retire at least ten feet from your fallen opponent to give him an opportunity to rise Rule 12 which says: "The contest in all other respects to be governed by the revised rules of the London prize ring is I consider one of tha most Important of the twelve rules and appears to be the bone of contention in almost every contest It has been the custom of referees myself among them to Inquire of the principals whether they chose to hit in clinches with one arm free and also on breakaways Invariably the principals agree not to hit in clinches or on breakaways but they generally forget all about their agreement and frequently violate it This then causes not only the seconds but the spectators to cry "Foul" every time a blow is de livered in a clinch or on a breakaway and cause much trouble and argument It also makes the duties of a referee arduous and disagreeable and keeps him continually in hot water Furthermore it gives the referee an opportunity to determine a contest in a technical foul which Is generally unsatisfactory to everybody concerned Neither vou I am sure desires to win the coming con jectionable to everybody and is apt to create discord and argument Both of you have undoubtedly mapped out your plans of attack and defense and need no advice from your respective seconds The latter will therefore refrain from making any comment during the contest Trivial fouls may be unintentionally committed by either of you which unless they have a direct bearing on the result will be overlooked by me at my discretion This I believe covers all the Important points Both of you are thoroughly acquainted with the marquis of Queensberry rules not touched upon by me and I hope to see you both live strictly up to them With a fair field no favors no prejudices I re mains yours very truly GEORGE SILER Referee CORBETT NOT SUITED Duplicate copies of Siler's letter were made and a copy was snt to both Corbett and Fitzsimmons Corbett was writing a letter to his wife when Siler's communication was handed to Mm and when he had finis'bed writing he read the letter from the referee through with great care He then folded it up saying: "I do not care to make any reply on this today I will talk it over with my trainers tonight and will write a formal letter to Mr Siler tomorrow" "It gives you what you desired does it not?" he was asked No" he answered "all I want is that we fight under the marquis of Queensberry rules such as I have always fought under I carry those rules in my head and I am very likely to conform to them unconsciously while fighting When a new construction is put upon them I might forget all about it in the heat of the fight and commit a foul unintentionally All I want is a fair show and nothing else" 'It was reported some time ago that you desired to hit with one arm free and on breakaways?" "That is a mistake I never wanted any thing but the regular marquis of Queensberry rules and never said I did Now Fitzsimmons has said he did not want to hit with one arm free but everybody knows he wants just that very thing Everybody con cedes that Fitzstinrmons is a harder hitter than I am and everybody concedes that I am better at long-range fighting and more scientific It stands to reason then that he is the gainer by this thing You will see that Fitzsimmons will not agree to this as he wants to have the appearance of making some concession to me However! am not making any objections as yet I am going to talk it over with my trainers and will say what I think tomorrow I am glad however that Mr Siler has made it clear that the pivot blow and all that sort of thing is barred That is as it should be We don't want anything of that sort" SILER GIVES REASONS Siler said when giving out 'his construction- of the rules I have made my decision solely on the ground that it is declared In the marquis of Queensberry rules that when not ordered otherwise the rules of the London prize ring shall govern Now the marquis of Queensberry rules are silent on the subject of hitting in the breakaways and with one arm free but both are allowed by the rules of the London prize ring and therefore it seems to me that it plainly is the intention of the Queensberry rules that both hitting with one arm free and hitting in the break aways should be allowed "I suppose that some will differ from that but it really looks to me as though the thing is too plain to admit of any other construction than that I have put upon it However if Corbett and Fitzsimmons de clare they prefer to fight the other way it is all right All I want is for them to agree to something" NOT LIKED BY FITZ The receipt of Siler's letter raised a storm at Cook's ranch and Martin Julian declared that in his opinion Corbett had had a talk with Siler and had induced him to issue the letter Fitzsimmons asserted it wouldi not be right for him to agree on anything until both he and Corbett had entered the ring he had always fought under the marquis of Queensberry rules he declared and that was what he wanted to fight under this time Julian then took the stand that when a man is knocked down and his seconds throw water upon the fallen man with the Intention of reviving him it should be a ground for forfeiting the fight and he asserted that he was going to insist that this be agreed upon Then Fitzsimmons declared that he would fight under the marquis of Queensberry rules and that if they did not suit Corbett he weuld fight under the rules of the London prize ring 'He has fought all his battles under the Queensberry rules" said Fitzsimmons "and they should be good enough for him now" Both Fitzsimmons and Julian declared they did not want any hitting with one hand free and on the breakaways Both insisted that breaks should be clean and no hitting should be allowed until both hands were free Fitzsimmons above all things Insist ed that no agreement should be made before the men entered the ring This was his strong point and he stuck to it with all the obstinacy with which he was capable and that is saying a great deal Dan Stuart this morning appointed Mal- aehy Hogan of Chicago referee of the welter weight and feather-weight championship fights between "Mysterious" Billy Smith and George Green (Young Corbett) and Martin Flaherty and Dal Hawkins respectively This was done by Stuart after a conference with George Siler FITZ BATTLES WITH YARRUM Bob Fitzsimmons had an exciting and not entirely a bloodless battle with the Great Dane Yarrum this evening In which honors were about evenly aiviaea The big brute has lately shown himself to be possessed of a vicious disposition and on several occasions has attacked newspaper correspond ents who visited the ranch in quest of news There is a big yard in front of the ranch-house ordinarily used as a place to hitch rigs and divided from the cottage and pavilion by a fence The ranch barn is situated at one side of this enclosure Just before dinner tonight Fitz was pitching quoits with his train ers in the cottonwood grove just inside this fence when the party was startled by an unearthly noise Yarrum had attacked a calf belonging to Cook near the front gate and the terrified animal was struggling to reach the cow pen 100 yards distant Fitz grabbed a buggy whip and started to the rescue and arrived just as Yarrum seized the bellowing calf by the neck and threw it to the ground The Great Dane was Infuriated by the taste of blood and paid no attention to the blows showered upon him by his master for several minutes At last however the brute released the calf and sprang with a growl at the lanky New Zealander Fitz stood his ground and beat the brute off at the same time working around toward the barn Leaning against the outside of the building was a pitchfork Fitz grabbed it and stuck the tines into Yarrum's body and beat him over the head with it The dog fought back and refused to budge an Inch and the battle roya! between man and beast lasted nearly half an hour The fight was watched by his three trainers from safe positions on the WESTERN LEAGUE SCHEDULE OF GAMES Detroit Mich March After a long day of tedious discussion and waiting for a final committee report the Western Baseball league late tonight adopted the following season's schedule: DETROIT AT HOME: With April 30 May 1 3 4 June 28 29 30 July 1 Sept 20 21 With May 5 6 7 8 July 6 1 8 91 SeDt 17 18 With Grand May 12 13 14 15 June 23 net on 21 With Kansas June 10 11 12 Aug 6 7 7: sept 3 4 4 With June 6 7 8 9 July 31 Aug Sept 6 6 7 7 With St June 14 15 16 17 Aug 9 10 11 Aur 30 31 Sept 1 With June 2 3 4 5 Aug 3 4 5 Aug 27 28 28 INDIANAPOLIS AT HOME: With April 26 27 28 29 July 10 12 12 Sept 10 11 11 CARSON JACK STELZNER With May 13 14 15 July 3 5 5 Sept 15 15 16 16 With Grand April 21 22 23 24 July 6 8 9: Sept 13 14 7 With Kansas June 2 3 4 5r Aug 8 4 6 AUK Z6 zi a With June 14 15 16 17 Aug i T7 a ne an ai fipnt With St June 7 8 9 July 81 Aug 2 2 Sept 2 3 4 4 With June 10 11 12 Aug 9 10 11 11 Sept 6 6 7 COLUMBUS AT HOME: With April 22 23 24 25 June 19 20 21 zz sept 13 19 With May 9 10 11 12 June 25 28 27 July 4 Sept 8 9 With Grand April 26 27 28 29 June 28 29 30 July 1 Sept 11 12 With Kansas June 6 7 8 9 July 31 Aug 1 2 Aug 30 31 Sept 1 With Milwaukee June 2 3 4 5 Aug 9 10 11 Aur 27 28 29 With St faui June iu ju ia as Aug a Sept 5 6 6 With June 14 15 16 17 Aug 6 7 8 Sept 2 3 4 GRAND RAPIDS AT HOME: With May 9 10 11: May 16: July 3 4 5 5 Sept 15 16 with May June i zu zj 22: Sept 18 19 With May a 4 juiy 10 ia Sept 20 21 21 With Kansas City-June 14 lo 16 17 Aug 9 10 11 Sept 5 6 7 With June 10 11 12 13: Aug 3 4 5 5 3 A With St Paul-June 2 3 4 5 Aug 6 7 8 Aug 27 28 29 With June 6 7 8 9 July 81 Aug 1 2 Aug 30 31 Sept 1 KANSAS CITY AT HOME: With May 21 22 23: July 26 27 28 29: Aug 13 14 15 With May Z9 30 31 31 July 14 15 IB Alls- 9(1 21 22 With May 13 19 20 July 21 22 24 25 With 'Grand" May 25 26 27 28 July 17 18 10 An- II!

most remarkable of the women riders of this country made her first appearance in a race at Minneapolis in December 1895 which she won covering 319 1-5 miles irf an elght- een-hour race three hours riding which is the world's record for a race of this kind Since then she has entered races in every large city in the country She invariably finishes among the first fourr She has never been able to defeat Tlllie Anderson and the result has been the most bitter rivalry between the two which expresses Itself in their relations both on and off the track Farnsworth has always claimed that she has never ridden on a track large enough to enable her to gain full benr-efit of her speed In the coming race she has a track to her liking and if she fails to win from Anfderson this time she will be forced to concede the superiority of her rival Earl Reynolds the champion skater of the United States will act as referee of the women's race Reysnolds is a bicycle rider of some repute although he has only ridden a wheel a few months The scene on Tattersall's track yesterday afternoon was a remarkable one with Arthur Gardiner James Michaels Helen Baldwin Dottle Farnsworth Stella Kowal-ski Mable Raymond Marie Fieriifg Edyth Peterson Elsie Gable Mazie Haskell and Rosie Hatch These riders are all in train ing and subjecting themselves to" very hard work and they reeled off a number of miles at a 2:50 clip The amateurs show the most marked improvement as a result of their steady work during the last week and it is not unreasonable to expect that someone of them may spring into prominence during the coming race with the same suddenness that Tillie Anderson did a year ago EVENTS AT THE ARMORY The management of the cycle meet to be held at the Second Regiment armory March 29 to April 3
