When young man asks father for his
daughters hand in marriage, if the father
is a wise one, he thinks of one thing equal
ly as important as the young mans morals,
social and business standing and intelli-
gence. A young man who suffers from ill
health has no right to marry until his health
is restored To do so is to commit crime
against the human race. While all diseases
may not be directly inherited the constitu-
Gonal tendency TO acquire them is inner
tied If a man is consumptive, the
chances are that his children will have
weak, uudersized lungs, and predisposi-
ton to acquire the same disease.
The young man who suffers from bron-
chitis, weak lungs, splitting of blood or any

CORBETT AND SHARKEY
READY FOR THE BATTLE
FACE EACH OTHER TONIGHT
Both Heavily Backed by BettOrs ON
PugiIistic Events and Both Con-
fdent of Scoring a Victory.

New York, Nov 22-Tonight the an
nouncer will step into the ring at the
Lenox Athletic Club and state that James
]. Corbett and Thomas Sharkey will box
for twenty rounds for a purse of $50, GOO,
the winner to take $4,000 and the loser
5000. No fight since the battle between
Corbett and Fitzsimmons at Carson City
has occasioned such widespread interest
as this fight. AS a result the city has had
great influx of the sporting fraternity,
who are backing their judgment with
goodly amount of coin. So far the sale
of seats has been enormous and the build
ing will be packed from the ringside TO
the farther corner of the auditorium with
enthusiastic admirers of pugilism.
The fear of police interference has been
dispelled. 1t is well known that the Len
OK Club has big influence behind it Be
sides there has been no public outcry
against the fight. Unless the men resort
to rough tactics the fight will continue
10 the limit or until one of the men wins.
Corbett strolled into his training quar-
ters yesterday afternoon and put in a
quarter of an hour punching the bag and
skipping round the ring with a pair OF
light dumbbells to prevent any posSib e
stinening of the muscles. Some one told
Corbett that Sharkey intended TO rush
him from the moment time was called
and Corbett replied:
Il have made some plans for the bat
tie, but | shall have to see what Sharkey
does when the fight begins before / will
know what plan | will use 1t is more
than probable that l may hold back for
the first three or four rounds and study
my opponent. Then + snail wade in and

dent of winning that | have out a com
mission Of 81 500 TO bet on the fight
That is something l have never done be-
fore. ! calculate TO enter the ring at 1S3
pounds"
The general run of sporting men pick
CorbeIt as winner basing their belief
on the fact that Sharkey will not be able
to land an effective blow on the elusive
Corbett, that the sailor boy will lose his
head and foul or the fight will go the
full twenty rounds and Corbett will win
on points
To sum it up. they think science and
headwork. represented by Corbett will
win over brute force, as represented by
Sharkey.
Sharkey. however. has a large follow
ing. His admirers think ne will wear
Corbett out with mis- furious rushes and
then end him with one Of his terrific
punches.
Sharked, himself, is confident OF sue
cess. He said today:
Il want to be the undefeated champion
of the world some day and my victory
tonight viii be one step nearer that title. -
