The Associated Press reporter VINO re-
ported the fight was unquestionably
oreenhorn at that kind of business, and
the story he sent over the wires was any
thing but satisfactory to an expert III
pugilism. Apart from that very material
defect, however, the report was not with
out it's merits. Just think oil this weird
and picturesque description OF the begin.

lime.
Corbett had the best of the affair from
start to finish, and the Hebrews, who.
with praisewo1thy pluck and (shall l
SAW compatriotism, dropped good
MANY thousand dollars, it is said, on the
result.
Nose Gunst, who is so well known as
q leader--if not a plunger-in sporting
matters, went his pile on Choynski, and
dropped at least $1,000. He made a
nreat mistake-although OF course, with
tie best intentions insthe world-wf en-

his own interests are at ttake,) Is said to
have made a complete failure of it as
counsellor for Choynski. At least such
was the general opinion, and HERALD
representative, who was on the ground,
gives it as his unqualified judgment that
the Nonpareil grievously erred in coun-
selling Joe to take his time, and to go
slow, as it WAS to be long fight, and he
could wear out Jim. AS a matter OF
fact, in consequence, Joe stood up to
have his face pounded to jelly, and
when the time came for him to use rush.

knocked out after being very badly
used up.
Choynski cried like child when he
found himself whipped man. | am
not sure that anyone should think the
less of him on that account, for it was
not the punching that be got that made
him cry, but the tap was turned on by

Porter Ashe is said to have won $1,000
on Corbett.
There is said to have been something
rather queer about the way the Olympic
Club acted in this matter. Its president
and officials strongly denounced the fight
and opposed Corbett's having anything
to do with Choynski; but it is believed
that their utterances were from the
teeth out" and that they not only put
up the money that backed Corbett, but
also promised substantial increase of
his salary should he whip Joe. Corbett
is the boxing instructor of the club, and
had vacation, as was very we'll under
stood, for the very purpose OF fighting
his man.
We have communication from one of
the mem bers of the Southern California
Athletic Association, complaining of
loafers and semi-respectable buns being
allowed to congregate in, and hanging
around the rooms of the club. We do
not know, personally, anything as to the
facts in the case. but if such is the way
in which the clubroom is run, it will be
very speedily run into the ground. l
should imagine that there are some of
the directors big enough aud strong
enough to boot out of the building the
undesirable class of hangers-en alluded
to. Anyway, the most stringent meas
ures should be taken to stop anything
like loafng in the clubrooms.

The Southern California Athletic Asso-
citation is giving every inducement to 'the
Marine" to come to this city, as he prom
ised, and fight Ellingsworth, who stands
ready and eager to fight him, but La
Blanche is as mute as a clam. President
Fulda's fine Italian hand is probably
legible in this, as in other hog games to
which he has recently developed an in
clination quite porcine.

And now it is said that Dempsey and
the Marine will fight in the California
Athletic Clubs rooms in San Francisco
for $5,500-$5, 900 going to the winner
and $500 to the loser. May be 30. Qua
.viura voudra. If they do, Dempsey will
whip.
Griffin is mighty likely to whip Tommy
Warren, but the fight will be good one.

We are unfeignedly glad to see the
grand game of lacrosse introduced 10 our
city, especially as such introduction has
been made by gentlemen who are likely
to stick to it until it finally becomes the
favorite game it undoubtedly deserves to
be. In our humble opinion it is thou
sand pities that thekJanadians were al
lowed to steal march on the United
States in adopting lacrosse as their ma
tional game, leaving to US only base
ball. which, with all due Difference
to the opinions of those who are in with
the "craze," is not to be mentioned in
the same week with lacrosse. IA a
manly athletic game, calculated to train
every muscle in young mans body, and
to give him that accuracy. OF eye and

fully trained athlete aims to acquire, we
