Trainer white made several radical
changes In Corbetts training Sunday.
The ten mile morning run was abandon.
ed, the champion taking substitute OF
fifteen minutes walk around his quar-
tiers. About 10 O'Clock he began the work
OF the day, White having decided that the
afternoons hereafter shall be given to
short walks and resting. Corbett went
at the wrist machine first, giving 1t about
fifteen minutts attention and then spent
twenty minutes punching the bag. White
allowed but three games Of hlndball and
as Corbett and HIS brother Jde succeeded
in taking three straight from their oppO-
nents, the champion went at llla boxing
in excellent humor. McNey wa3 given
the first round and for five minutes was
roughly handled in a wrestling bout fast
enough TO set the spectators to cheering
vigorously. Joe COrbctt spared q round.
Jeffries followed ftr three minutes ana
then Woods with hlS swollen face and
pufIy pneumatic gear. was taken for the
hardest work Of the day. Corbett con-
tlnued his practice OF punching on the
brenk-away and succeeded In making
Woods decidedly unhappy, despite the
leather protector. Each OF the four men
was given two rounds, and a rundown
ended the training OF the day.
White declared at the finish that his
