The $4,000 Guarantee Troubles
Mitchell and Corbett.
A New Instructor for n. y. a. Z.
Athletes.

From the pulpit is heard a strenuous
objcGiion to the physical encounter be
tween Corbett and Mitchell. The Coney
Island Athletic club IL being mercilessly
'gridironcd" in consequence of this
match, and 1t would seem as If the con-
slant attacks were sure to have their
effect.
1t would he no surprise In the face of
the hue and cry raised II Corbett and
Mitchell contested anywhere but Al the
island. The ecclesiastical uprOar will
do more to drive them away than, per
haps. anything else.
Somebody not unwisely suggested that
the club take the initiative aud declare
the match off. 1t would not lose any
thing by it, for the $lONoO guarantee
which was to be posted as a forfeit hat
the contest wouldn't be prevented Is
not IN any ones hands, and, OF course,
that amount would be saved. Both prin-
cirals are said to be extremely anxious
about the $4,000. That Is the only thing
they have to look for to reimburse them
for training expense In case the affair
liz stopped.
The club people are advancing the ar
gument that this match Is lawful, as 1t
Is a contest of twenty rounds. When
that number Of rounds shall have been
finished, and both boxers are still ION
deck" Il new contest OF twenty rounds
shal begin. Such II course would give.
say, three or four contests In one night
by the same competitors.
1t IL not improbable that the courts may
be appealed to ms u last resort to esttb-
lish the legality or otherwise Of this
meeting.
