Now, if Young Corbett thinks he is McGovern's master, he will cover the forfeit which l have placed in reputable hands and if he refuses the public can easily see who is the better man.
 ''I don't wish to take away any of the credit that Is due to Young Corbett for his great victory, but l still insist that the result of the fight was due to a nuke.
