(By Mike Donovan.)

Tom Sharkey, although In perfect physical
condition for his fight with Jim Corbctt next
Tue sday night, continues to follow his usual
training schedule The sailor went through
his work today with the case and grace of d
dancing master. Aside from his closely
drawn face the five weeks OF hard work seem
% have had no i'll effect on the man who some
day hopes TO be the champion of the world.
In regard to story from Cleveland, o..
that there Is scheme on to throw the fight
to Sharkey. both the sailor and Corbett dony
all knowledge OF the matter and denource tho
author OF the story In unmeasured terms
Corbe,ts little play with Mccoy is be-
that 1t comes from Cleveland leads 10 the be-
lief that Mccoy or his friends started the re-
port.
The only indoor training Corbctt did today
was to box few fast rounds with his part
ncrs. McVey and Farley. He stil keeps up
u 1o-mie run along Riverside drive. Corbet
Is perfectly satisfied with his present condi-
tcn and says he viii take no chances with
anything that will interfere with him In his
contest next Tuesday night.
Among the visitors who watched Colbett
work today was Al Smith, II was the first
since his fight at Carson city. After Cor,
bett has finished bis days, work Smith said
there was no doubt that he Vas in better
ITO tell the truth said Smith, ~ was
surprised to find Jim In such great condition.
For n man who has trained as often as Cor
bett has his condition is marvellous. II APP
pears to me that Corbett is much bigger and
sti onger than | ever saw him before. His
wind In perfect and his foot work is just as
wonderful as ever. lie is IN as good II not
better condition than when he fought Fitz-
simmons Sharkey is n great fighter and
hard man to beat, but i think Corbett Will
beat him
Corbett is the popular favoritc here, but
there is little betting as yet The chief rcn-
son for this probably is that most Of the Coz
bett men went broke OF the late election, II
Is expected however, that there will be some
lively betting before the men enter the ring

The subject of a young lady's essay,
who was graduated from a high school
in an Ohio town, was Hawthorne"
and In her essay she said, AT the age
of thirty-nine Hawthorne married and
took his wife to the old manse." The
day after the commencement one Of the
village maidens called on Miss e., and
in talking the affair over, remarked:
Wasn't 1t awful that Maude should
say such thing in her essay" Miss
e. inquired to what she alluded. "Why.
she said at the age of thirty-nine Haw-
thorne married and took his wife to the
old mans. Why didn't she say to his
father-in-laW's"
