Especial 10 THE HERALD-Examfner Disuatoh.I
NEW YoRK, Aug. 3O-Jim Corbett, the
California pugilist who is matched TO fight
John L. Sullivan, did enough work at Madi-
son Square Garden yesterday to tire ont the
brawniest stevedore in New York. Not
only this, but he came through il all fresher
than many of the spectators who watched
him work. All day long he hammered and
raced and jumped and tugged and slugged
without any apparent effort other than
profuse preparation. His lungs seemed to
be made of leather and his muscles OF
steel.
AT 10 o'clock the big man walked into
the garden. He was followed by the reti-
nue. of trainers, ruobers and wrestle1s who
have worked with him and over him dur
lug his sojourn at Asbury PARK.
The ioEg-arned fighter looked as 1.-the
and sinewy as panther. His eyes were
clear and bright and his SUM- tanned face
WIS the color of new saddles. The ser air
aud hard exercise at Loeb Arbor have done
wonders for jim. 1t was almost II o'clock
when Corbett appeared on The COR in
fighting costume. Presently Jimmy DAILY
brought cut huge leather bali and tossed
it with great v1gOr to Corbett. The latter
caught it as easily ss spider catches ny
and fred it back again Then tne
big wrestler, McVey, cnipped into tna
game and for while nothing was heard
but the smack of hands against the leather
and an occasional grunt from one of the
plyers. Two corners of the triangular
game were centered on Corbett, but when
it was finished the gaunt man from the
coast was fresher than either OF his 0pp0-
nents-
1t is no child's play to throw ten pound
bali thirty feet with either arm and keep it
up for half an hour, yet when the exercise
ended Corbett had not started a sweat.
Then came long siege with the pulieys.
When the pulley exercise was finished Cor
bett donned brown pair CT boxing gloves
and went at ball hanging under scaff0ld
10 the ring. First he tapped it with his
left in q caressln9 sort OF way. and allowed
it to come back against bis pompadour fore
head. That was the only chance the pail
had to get back at him. Suddenly be
APPARENTLY BECAME INFURIATED.
He drove his fist like lightning against the
wind bag and sent it flying against the
planks with sound like pistol shot. He
swi1ed the ball vicious upper cut with his
left, then he hit it with both fists together
After pounding the ball for half an hour
Corbett went TO lunch.
At2 O'Clock Corbett entered the ring, so
to speak. He stretched himself out on the
rack and began to yank the long suffering
pulleys. Fifteen minutes Of this kind OF
work was enough for jim. He then in
augurated another game with the big ball
and kept IL up until both DAILY and McVey
were gaspink like hsh out OF water. The
next exhibition in the training Of theprize
fighter was rough and tumble wrest!e be-
tween Corbe.t and McVey. 1t was not ex-
actly wrestlo but long series Of rough
a prize OK and weighs something like 30
pounds, but Corbett hustled him around
until he was weak on his pins
ssThat will do, JIM cried Delaney.
THAT'S all right Pm not tired, " replied
Corbe;t.
81 know you amt" said Delaney, "bu5
how about MeVey2''
Corbett had forgotten all about the other
fellow The next event was a hand bail
between Corbett and LAWYER, the Irish
champion At tirst Corbett held his own,
but Lawler was only getting the hang Of
things. When the Killarney man finally
let himself ont you could NOT see him for
dust His hands few around like the
spokes in buggy wheel. and for once
coRBETT WAS NOT IN IT.
LAWYER won by the score of 81 to IA.
just after the game ended Mrs. C0rbett
entered one of the boxes, accompanied by
several ladies'. She smiled at jim and jim
smiled at her. There was 3 lot Of fele-
gra1hy in their smiles. While Ford
tackled Lawler al hand ball Corbett took
rest At its conclusion the pugilist again
donned the red mitts and knocked the STUFF
fiug out of the ball The loud applause
which greeted this part Of the performances
showed that the crowd knew thing OF
two ABOUT boxing Half an hour was spent
