The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1900-12-02

of a comparative novice. a comparative
~ unheard of boxer of the name of
Young Ccrbett.' The Chicago boy, hold
ing things at exens for the first part
of the battle, was gone all over by the
Denver dub in the last few rounds
No less than six times did Yanger take
the count in the eighth round, and the
sports who witnessed the battle in the
arena of the Colorado club, VOW that
had Siler or Hogan been referee, instead
of McKenna, the Slasher would never
have gotten as good as a draw. Yahger
has been badly handled. He has been
arrayed against comparatively unknown
men, and for very little money. Some
day, when rangers time finally comes,
he will go down and out for handful
of small coin. Both Tommy White and
Eddie Santry got more money for their
losing ends with McGovern than Yanger'
will ever earn in the aggregate If his
matchmaker does not change his method
of doing business. The Slasher is an
earnest, honest little fellow, and should
be put in the way of better results than
he is receiving.
