Jackson. Then it was announced that
Corbett would fight Jackson in no place
but Sioux City, To-, when it was a
notorious fact that to attempt to fight
In that state meant prompt and severe
punishment of those who made the
attempt. Now, the reason why Cor
bett will not meet Sharkey Is not be-
cause the sailor is beaten man, but
because Corbett, who Is also beaten
man, is afraid of Sharlxey. The sailor
gave Corbett a hiding out in San Fran
cisco that the man who once proudly
sported a pOmpadour will never forget.
The burned child breads the fire. And
Corbett is as much afraid Of Sharkey
as is an unruly infant Of the mythical
"bogie man."
CORBETTS FALSE REPUTATION.
The fact Of the matter Is that Cor
bett posed for years on laurels won
from the only John L. Sullivan. Skill
fully handled by Billy Brady, Corbett
kept clear Of the reefs that beset the
voyage Of the average boxer, and when
challenged by dangerous man he
would invariably say: Go thou and
make for thyself a reputation. You are
not in my class" This saved him from
defeat for time, but the public finally
wearied of the deception, and Corbett
was practically forced into a fight with
Bob F1tzsimmons and whipped. Then
he announced his retirement from the
ring. Now he has re- entered the arena.

to the old dodge-deceit and talk-re-

his equal, and picking UP matches that

Commodore Morton Called 1t Off
When the Boats Reached the Cen
ter Buoy-It Will Be Sailed Or
Within the Month - Twenty
Footers VIII Have Trial Heats
This Week.
The wind failed completely at White
Bear yesterday and the signal craft
Ina, under a full head of steam, was
compelled to tow long string OF
yachts to their private dock in front Of
Ramaley's.
1t was expected that the twenty
footers would just about decide be-
tween themselves which would repre-
sent the club in the interlake races, but
the race was Of such an unsatisfactory
nature that nothing was decided fur
Their than to hold couple more trial
heats this week between the contest
ants for honors in this class.
When the starting gun was fired in
the twenty-one-foot class the Falcon,
Jennie R and Pastime were skimming
the top of the drink with little speed
and got over the line in the order
named.
The starters in the seventeen-foot
class were the Goblin and Xenia. The
big fellows lined up as follows, crossing
the line at 1926: Mahto, Yankee, Weird
ling and KeewaydeM
AS In all the light wind races, all the
boats remained close together through
out the race. The Weirdling had lit
tie the best of the contest as long as
the wind lasted, and demonstrated to
the satisfaction of her owners her light
weather qualities. The White Bear
yachts are with little exception better
sailed in heavy weather, and Capt.
Douglas Is equally confident Of the
speed of his boat in q stiff breeze.
Capt. Drake sailed the Goblin to an
imaginary victory, and the three cat
boats, known ais the twenty-one-foot-
ers. were within boats length of each
other when Commodore Morton called
the race off, just after the center buoy
had been rounded.
The race will be sailed off late this
month on one of the open dates.

INDIANS BY A NECK.
Kansas City Close Up in Western
League Fight.

AAs~HASNS SAty SiSse Up III western
League Fight.
The week just closed was one of unexpected
excitement in the Western league. At the
end of last week Indianapolis was travelling
so well that it was not believed any team
in the league could overtake 1t. Then sudden
ly shifting of the scenes brought four teams
almost up abreast. Minneapolis beat the
Indians on Monday and then St. Paul turned
to and beat them three straight, Milwaukee
and Kansas City in the meantime pulling
right up in line with steady victories. This
unexpected reverses Of st. Paul and Milwau-
kee yesterday widened little the small gap
between them and the two leaders. but
there is still a chance for any one of the
four to win the bunting, with a fighting
chance for Columbus, also.
Both st. Paul and Kansas City will soon
be handicapped with long trips away from
home, and both will no doubt drop consd-
erably in percentage. All the season St. Paul
has been VIGOROUSLY bad traveller, and a
repetition of its work on It's two former trips
will, of course, put 1t out of the flag hunt
but its friends hope it will take brace this
time and get at least an even break. Indian
apols plays most Of its games for the re-
mainder Of this month at home, and is not
likely to surrender the lead, II at all, for
more than day or two. Milwaukee, too,
will hammer away at home pretty steadily

good, as they have only forty-three games
yet to play, a large bunch of which are with

Boxing is not as popular as it once
was, and the boxers are to blame for
the change In public sentiment. "Reu-
ben Hayseed" likes to be 'fbuncoed" the
first time he comes to town, just for
the novelty Of 1t, but he calls the po-
lice on the second attempt to impose
upon his verdancy. And so 1t is with
tine public In ring matters. Boxing is
IN dlsfavor because the promoters Of
IT and the men who engage In the game
bunco' the public too often. When
James j. Corbett became champion by
grace OF having won from John L. Sui
IVAN, he at once fell into the hands Of
the Ph1listines Of the sport and is to-
day on the suspected list In every
match he makes or talks about making.
Billy Brady is out Of 1t as a manager
because the public cannot trust him.
and there are others.
BOOSTER" MCCORMICK.
Now comes Macon" Mccormick, who
is supposed to know something about
boxing, and stultifies himself in print
IN order to give his favorite Corbett,
g. soft spot to fall upon in event Of
his failing to stop Middleweieht Nc
Coy in their bout at Buffalo next
month. The veteran" authority (?)
on boxing says Corbett made a mistake
IN conceding to Mccoy the privilege to
say that there shall be no hitting in
the clinches. Mccormick writes: INC
COY would not agree to meet either
Corbett or Fitzsimmons under the Mar
quis of Queensberry rules" And the
claim is therefore made by this "crit-
lque" OF boxing that the MARQUIS Of
Queensberry rules provide for hitting in
the clinches." That is nothing less
than an attempt to deceive the public,
The rules drafted by the Marquis Of
Qceensberry expressly stipulate that
there shall be no hitting in the
clinches.
TO PREVENT "ROUGHING."
The rules that are known as MAR
qu1s Of Queensberry" were drafted by
that patron for the sole purpose of pre-
venting 'roughing'' In ring encounters.
All the big battles that were fought
previous to the coming together of
Corbett and FTtzsimmons with the
gloves were settled by science and not
by "roughing." The Queensberry rules
We're changed by George Siler. He was
the first referee to decide that the prin-
c1pals In boxing match should be
permitted to hit while in clinch. There
was no time for demonstration of
the new rules Of Siler-not Queens
berry-until Corbett and Fitzsimmons
met. The attempt Of Mccormick TO
make it appear that Mccoy is asking
Tor concession as to the rules is for
the sole purpose Of boosting Corbett
and buncoing the public The Queens
berry rules do not permit hitting in the
clinch. The Marquis Of Queensberry ia
authority for the statement, and he
should be given credit with knowing
what his own creation means
CORBETT AND SHARKEY.
And now comes Col. Considine, one
OF the men who worked what is known
In the sporting world as ''the Sioux
City racket" and tries to make the
public believe that Corbett will not
meet Sharkey because the sailor man
has been beaten by Jeffries. The Sioux
City Athletic club was organized to
give Corbett a chance to dodge Peter
