Corbett will be asked TO finish his train
ing at Buffalo. beginning about Septem-
Der 5, and Mccoy has agreed to be at Buff
falo on September . The contest will take
place on September 10. Not long ago,
when match was first suggested be-
tween Corbett and Mccoy, there were
many who laughed al the very idea of
the latter tackling man so much bigger
than himself. But now that the men have
signed all the necessary papers and post
ed the required forfeits, and have each
entered upon their training duties in a
business-like manner, the sentiment as
to the chances of the willy Mccoy has
greatly changed. Students OF the fighting
game have carefully examined the meth
DDS of offense and defense of the two
men, and they are beginning 10 tell each
other that the Kid suffers little by com
parison with Corbett so far as cleverness
is concerned.

II is quite doubtful whether Eastern
sports win have the opportunity of seeing
Jim Jeffries box again for some time to
come. The big Californian has gone TO
San Francisco. Delaney will accompany
his protege TO the Pacific coast, where
Jeffries will nurse his injured hand and
shattered reputation. Delaney himself is
most disheartened. He is still loyal to
his man. but the comments on Jeffriess
showing have served to distress him.

Another factor that has doomed the
chances of Mccoy is the doubt expressed
by many ring followers that Jim Corbett
can never again get into the fettle in
which he faced Mitchell at Jacksonville
and Sullivan at New Orleans At Carson
his vitality was gone after few rounds
of hard fighting, and this is what the ad-
herents of the Kid are banking on to no
small extent. They contend that if the
Californian can not win in a few rounds
he can not win at all. Three weeks ago
the Kid looked like a ! 10 shot. The
betting at the ringside will not likely see
greater odds than 100 to so in favor of
Corbett

Corbett's great foot work and wonder
ful left hand are Offset, apparently, by
McCoy's stiffness in getting his anatomy
out of danger when he has to offstand a
determined rush, his clever feinting and
the great skill he has shown in might
ing. Nobody seems 10 know just how
good Mccoy is. Ii is true he has never
met a man who was anywhere near the
equal of Corbett, but he has neatly poll
ished off all that have faced him so far
and SO cleverly and with so little appar-
ent effort that his friends and hackers at
the ringside will be legion. 1t is true that
he allowed Gus Rubin to stay twenty
rounds with him and TO finish strong and
ready for more. but eight out of ten men
who witnessed that fight will tell you
that they believe the Kid let up on Mad
den's man after he had cut him TO pieces
in the earlier rounds and clearly earned
the decision.

Mysterious Billy Smith and Matty
Matthews have been matched to meet in
twenty-four round bout before the club
offering the largest purse. Jack Dough-
erty. manager of Matthews, and Billy
Roche, representing Smith, met at
downtown sporting resort, and after vast
ing very little time, both agreed to the
terms suggested and signed the articles.
According to the articles the men are to
fight for the welterweight championship
of the world, and the winner is to take
the entire purse. The fact that 1t is
stated that the battle will be for the title
is no doubt caused by the recent an
nouncement made by Tommy Ryan. the
recognized welterweight champion, that
he cannot make that weight again.
Smith and Matthews seeing the chance
TO wrest the title from Ryan, by the lat
ter's own announcement, have signed to
box at AS pounds. which is the weight
called for in order to fight for that title.

There was buzz when Corbett and
Sullivan appeared, and 1t continued until
Duffy stepped into the ring. His pres
ence there seemed TO command quiet. As
he took off his swaIlow-tail, unbuttoned
his cuffs and prepared for action the
crowd watched his every move, for they
knew the time had come for the settle
ment of the, to them, great question, and
that Duffy was the one man who would
settle il regardless of the tumult and the
clamor from this side of the theater. And
settle he did. Duffy's work in that battle
was without flaw, and it proved him to
be the best and nerviest referee that ever
stepped into the roped arena So long as
he officiated at New Orleans there was
tone and order TO Ihe fights, but when he
stepped out the fistic game in the Cres-

Il see that an Eastern sporting publica-
ton printed a long article last week
wherein it was figured out TO the COM
pIete satisfaction of the writer that the
Phillies were the strongest team in the
league today and next years probable
pennant winners" said Tom Burns the
other day as he watched Dick Cooley's
men warm up.
Now II agree with the man who
wrote that siZe-up of the team to the
extent of acknowledging that the Phil
lies are very good lot of ball players
individually speaking. There are many
men in that Quakertown aggregation who
can catch and throw and bat and play
as good a game ali round in mechanical
sense as any lot of players in the league.
But they are not champions by any
means. They are entitled to just about
the place they now occupy in the per-
centage columns What do they lack?
They are shy the three qualities that go
more than anything else 10 make up a
winning ball club-ginger, head work, and
gameness.
There are few good, heady, hustling
players on that Philadelphia team who
won't Quit when they are getting lit
tie the worst of it, but they are handi-
capped by the rest of the bunch. A ball
player, TO be a crackerjack must be as
game on the neld as a flghter must pe IN
the ring. A fighter who quits under pun
ishment will never make champion, and
it's the same with a ball player. Give me
q team of fair ball players who hustle
every minute and never quit trying to
win, no matter what the score, and I'll
beat out your team of all-star individu-
ais who don't know how 10 work to-
gether.
There were some great fighters on the
old Chicago team. Williamson and Gore
and Kelly never knew what it was TO
quit Kelly was the headiest ball player
that ever lived. AS a catcher he had
but two rivals-Buck Ewing and Silver
Flint. There are no catchers today that
are the equal of these. These three knew
all the fine points of the game, carried
every trick at their finger tips. and al
ways had their wits about them.
-tWilber Robinson is one of the best of
the present day backstops. and young
Mcfarland, of Philadelphia. bids fair
to be the best in the business before

AN AUGUSTA GENIUS.
A Miniature Loom Almost Perfectly Built by 4
French Boy.

There Is a young man In the weaving
room of the Edwards cotton mill who
Is genious. though he Is one who has
but little education outside of what he
learned while learning his trade In the
mill. GIodforis Golicour is young
man about 20 years of age, and IS Of
French nationality. He speaks no
English and cannot understand even
what is addressed him in ordinary con-
versation.
The remarkable feat which the young
man has accomplished is the building
of Lowell loom on a miniature plan,
upon which he has made cloth. For
over two years he has been at work
upon MS loom and he has had no plans
upon which he could work, outside the
loom upon which he worked during
the day. AT night ne would make
some part of his little loom out of a
piece of wood, modelling it after the
style of the large one.
His loom is less than two feet long,
and weighs but % pounds. 1t is a
perfect imitation of large loom, and
works TO perfection when it is in
motion.
The great wonder is how the young
man ever figured out the gears, as
there are an innumerable number of
cog wheels, and with all the other in
tricate parts of the machinery. it is in
deed wonderful that the young mla
could do such work. He has worked
upon it for over two years in all the
spare hours. and when he has been i'll.
which is quite often as he is not a
robust young man. The work certain.
ly shows genius and perseverance.
Previous to his making of the loom.
the young man made clock. using
only wood in it5 construction, and
making all the cog wheels out of wood
This also seems very remarkable, when
the young man has so little education
and yet he can figure out the most in
tricate problems in gears.
