Vey, Brady, Creeden, Tracy and any
one else who happens TO fancy that
sort of a game. The Australians In
two days managed TO win $50 or more,
and Manager Brady on his hrst in
PRODUCTION to the pastlme carried
of nearly SIS. There is some
luck in it, but skill such as
Creeden and Tracy possess will in the
long run count for something. They
are very we'll pleased with their pros
poets.
In the afternoon Corbstt has an hour
with McVey on a big wrestling mat 10
one room of his gymnasium, after a
long walk. Then Creeden and john
Donaldson get ready to take their med
icine. Each wears a continuance madf

After the boxing Sulllvan'S couQueror
retires 10 his "ball" room, which name
is applied to the apartment from the
lower ceiling Of which the punching
bag is suspended, and, taking occasional
glances at the page Of the Sunday World
containing the remarkable pictures Of
Mitchel's muscles, Jim pounds away
like q gaod fellow at the leathern
sphere. Another rundown and he is
ready for supper.
Every body in the household, which is
pretty big one, feels very good after
the evening meal, and a quiet family
party is made up. for the drawing room
10 the main cottage. COrbett loves mu-
sic, but be couldn't earn IS a week as
singer. Fortunately there are vocaliSts
In the house, and the regular evening
concerts are really interesting. Porter
Ashe, the wealthy California turlman,
who is one Of the champion guests, has
a rich baritone voice, and he can sing
anything from the "TOreador" solo 10
Carmen" TO Take a Day Of, Mary
Ann" in excellent style. Mr.. Ashe is
the living image OF that distinguished
rhespian, Maurice Barrymore, but he
cannot recite as well.

Wallace cottage would cause 3 riot
among the musicians II il were used in

wires piano tuner might spend half a
day with profit TO himself and great
benefit to those of Corbett's party who
have acute ears for oiscords, but in
that out Of the way place it is far better
than no musical instrument. Mrs. Cor
5ett plays the banjo pretty well, and
one Of the male servants is the cham
Dion jewS-harpiSt OF the Southern
States. With what Tracy can do in a
vocal way and the other talent which |
drops IN now and then they manage to !
have pretty good time of it.
Thus, amid music, singing and dane |
ing, is the great pugilist preparing for
his battle. While he is the iolliest Of
all az times he takes no lspSes from his
work. Business ana pleasure are so ad-
intermingled that the combna-
zion cannot fail TO have q bene6-
cial effect upon the star Of Mayport. |
These pictures Of COrbSt's muscles,
made from photographs taken by Ha-
yeas, of Jacksonville, specially for the
sunday World, differ from those of
Mitchell printed two weeks ago
in very many respects. While |
the premier American pugiliSt is un-
Questionaoly possessed OF great strenth,
his muscles do not stand out so prOmi- |
nently as MitchelPs. They are on the |
long, flexible order and quite as useful |
rs the ''knottv" kind in fstic engage |
ment. Corbett has a magnificent frame
and is perfectly developed athlete, !
which will az once Do seen by his pic !
lures. II he keeps on training as he !
began, one look at him In the DuyAl !
Athletic Club arena In Jacksonville a
month from Christmas, will be real
treat for any man who is interested in
physical development.
