What Corbetts Backer says-McAuli 6
Easy Snap.

Easy Snap.
William a. Brady of New York. who will
back Jim Corbett of this city against
Sullivan, Indignantly denies that the Cali
f0rnian is not IN to stay; in fact Brady is
confident that COrbett eau whip Sullivan.
In speaking Of the proposed battle be-
tween the two heavy weights, Brady said:
'COrbett reasons in q common-sense way,
and has some good arguments. You 90 to
a horserace and bet on form. 1t is the
same way here. Corbett is the most scien-
tfc man that ever stepped into a ring
John L. did not knock out kilrain; he was
in the ring. but threw up the sponge. Ii
was doubtful about his draw with Mitchell
whether he had the advantage. He did not
knock out Ryan. Jack Burke and McCaf-
frey are both scientific men. and he did not
defeat them. Both of these men Corbett
whipped. Mccartney he knocked out in one
round. There are no ifs in the coming
match. Il is all FORM If Sullivan is de-
feated, of course, there will be plenty of
explanations about John l.. having passed
his best days. C0rbett stands 6 feet IL
inches high; Sulliyan's height is leet liz
inches He has the best of John L. in
reach, and, all in all, is more scientific man
than Jem Mace. Peter Jackson. WHO had
arms that reached to his knees, hit Corbett
but once in their great battle of 81 rounds,
which lasted three and half hours.
sullivan has not knocked out man In
five years, and If his first blow does not
finish CorbetI he will lose the fight. This
talk about Sulliyan's muscle In his arm is
all wind. He has worsted his men by his
look and the grasp of his hand when they
entered the ring. He cannot do that with
Corbett. Corbett will go into training on
June / between Asbury Park and Long
Branch, and will thus have three months
ana IL days. Billy Delaney and Peter
DAILY will train him. His weight will be
1874 pounds"
In letter 70 an Eastern sporting paper
Joe McAuiiffe said: " | expect TO have an
easy thing in defeating Goddard, the Bar
rier rusher. l would not have made the
match II | thought otherwise. III | win
will be after the winner of the Slavin and
Jackson contest. was in bad health when
fought Slavin in London, but i expect to
be in the pink of condition when l face
Goddard. | will be my own trainer this
time, and will weigh 10 or 16 pounds more
then when i met Slavin.''
Champion billiardist, Frank c. ives. has
declined George SloSson's personal offer of
$3.50 expenses to play match gams in New
York for the worlds championship billiard
emblem. 1t is probable, however, that the
splendid offer made by the directors of
Madison-square Gardens will induce Ives
to change bis mind regarding ma CHI con-
leSt III new Ofk
The New York Times of the oath inst.
says that William Smyth, for seven years
gymnastic instructor of the Olympic
Athletic Club OF San Francisco, arrived
from the coast and has been engaged by the
Manhattan Athletic Club. and will enter
bis new duties on April /.
Jack Mccain, the pugilist, who is
matched against Charley Turner, states
that il he succeeds in whipping the coiored
champion of Stockton he will be ready
to meet Young Mitchell in match for the
coast championship. Wonder if the latter
will reply to Mccain.
Professor Walter Watson. boxing instruc-
tor of the Olympic Club, who has been
aillDg from the effects of sore foot for
several weeks, will leave in a few days for
the springs, from which place he hopes to
return soon thoroughly conyalescent.
