Johnny Corbett Says No Matches
Have Been Made.

Denver, Colo, Feb. 6.-Johnny Cor
bett will join Young Corbett in Cleve-
land, and from the time he arrives he
will do the talking for the champion.
The kid telegraphs that he is being
bothered to death by fighters who think
they can win the cham pionship from
him.
Any statement sent over the country
to the effect that the champion is
matched to fight anyone may be set
down at once as hot air. The kid still
has three months of theatrical business
before him. and it is not likely that
John will match him for fight so far in
advance. There is no chance for Terry
McGovern until Corbett has fought a
few others. The Brooklyn boy would
not have given the Denverite another
show had the Hartford fight resulted in
a victory for Terry.

CANCELLED HIS POLICY
Because the Assured Made Mistake
in His Age.

Chicago, Feb. 6.-Because Thomas
Chalmers, of the firm of Frazer &
Chalmers, made a N istake in his age, a
life insurance company has Cancelled
policy on his life, issued more than fifty
years ago. Mr.. Chalmers has brought
suit in the superior court to have the
company's action annulled.
When Mr.. Chalmers, in 1851, was, as
he says IN his bill, "a working man fol-
lowing his trade as a machinist," he
took out a policy for $1,000, giving the
date of his birth as June IA, 1920. A few
years later his daughter visited his old
home in Scotland, and consulting the
parish register discovered that the date
of her fathers birth was June IA, 1876.
Mr.. Chalmers took out another policy
for $4,000 with the same company in
1866, and in filling his application gave
his correct age. He continued to pay
the premiums on the first policy, he
says, after the second policy had made
the company acquainted with his true
age. Finally, in 1901, the policy was
Cancelled

out his decision in the case of the King
VS.. Herman. The latter, a Buffalo man,
managed athletic exhibitions at Fort
Erie. and he was charged with promot-
ing a prize fight between Walcott and
Ferns there on December s. The mag

scientific boxing or sparring, where the
contestants agree to box a limited num-
Der of rounds, is a friendly contest with
gloves, and seems to be lawful and
does not fall within the definition of
