1t would fatigue a Trojan to keep
pace with the shifts and moves nova
days in the Corbett-Mitchell natter.
First is heard the statement that tie con-
test has been prohibited and tina the
club has resigned itself to the ineuta-
bic, accepting the ultimatum of the ,u-
thuritics. Then the scene changes. A
hint is thrown out that, after all, I.
boxing exhibition may he given at the
Island, and Corbett and Mitchell will
, spar for points. Meetings between the
COney Island people and the boxers are
held in secret. and sporting writer's are
thrown down by false statements on all
sides
The fact of the matter is that there's
a fine middle in the whole affair. The
club doesn't want to lose the attraction
for December. Sutherland, Tighe and
Mckane know what n good thing Cor
bett and Mitchell in the arena will be
for the Club. a whole lot OF people
are rabid In their denunciation of the
contest, the Club and the contestants.
To appcase the clamorings Of those peo-
pie the authorities declare with a great
blhre OF truinpets that "there'l be no
fight" The club says: THAT Is quite
50. We never intended that there should
be one, but we will give you a boxing
exhibition"
Mysterious hints are thrown out to
sparrers. who continue to eat three square
meals a day with complacency.. Strange
" accidental meetings are held with
frequency by Judge Newton. Mitchell
and Billy Brady. Now, the Judge goes
ON record as being out of the manage

contest would surely be permitted,
would make Corbett and Mitchell both
jump for New orleans. They are both
out for the coin. and now that 1t looks
as though 1t was Slipping away from
them. both are fevcrish to dig their
fingers into a pile OF ready money.
