CHICAGO, Jan. 26-It was common be-
lief among Corbett enthusiasts about town

of for sixty rounds. The news apparently
did not affect "Parson" Davies, who looks
after Jackson, as he bet last night the
second $1,000 to VIII Davis of the Columbia
Theater, to further bind the agreement
Inc contest is to take place between June
~ and ~. and the balance of the $4,000
side Will be posted before that time.

with Mitchell in his defeat.
