Defeat by "Young Corbett"
Can Be Credited to 1t.

M old claim so many times maze
that the stage is no place for a fighter
particularly IL he has future battles IN
mind. is now corroborated by such a
shrewd individual as Sam Harris, the
manager OF Terry McGovern. Harris
lays all blame on the stage for Terry's
defeat at the hands of Young Corbett"
over a year ago. He says 1t has made
the Brooklyn boy slow, and that to re-
gain his title Terry will not be seen be-
fore the footlights again until after Jan.
l, 1904. In the mean time Terry will do
nothing but prepare himself for fights
and do nothing to earn his daily bread
but fight.
Harris says McGovern is fast grad

pearance in the division: thai after thas,
he will seek the lightweight champion.

EXTRA GAME NOT
LIKELY FOR YALE.
Strain of Keeping in Condition
for Contest with Western
Eleven Would Be Too Much.

NEW HAVEN, Dec. 27.-while many
Yale undergraduates would like to see
their football team arrange a game with
one of the big teams OF the Western
Universities next year, such a thing is
not likely to come to pass as the sons
OF ELI have had one lesson. Yale's two
championship contests with Harvard
and Princeton and the Q that an
other hard game would be too much
of a strain on the players is thought
TO be suflcient to refuse the game. even
though n game should be arranged 1t
would not be done for a month, as the
team has not yet elected a captain or
manager.
Until a captain and manager for next
season are picked nothing definite OF
next seasons policy can be crystalllzed
from the unofficial undergraduate sentI-
ment which now favors a game with
n Western team.
Three years ago Yale tried to meet
the University OF Wisconsin IN the
middle of the season, presenting an
eleven made up from the scrubs as
usual in practice contests without
introducing any complicated formations.
Yale was barely able to wins to 0.

ATTRACT MUNROE
Butte Fighter to Get $500 a

BUTTE. Dec. 2Z.-Jack Munroe, the
man who gave Jeffries a hard four
round bout. is the latest dispenser OF
swings, Jabs. jolts and other blows
known to followers OF pugilism to am
nounce hi deput on the stage. Munroe
has accepted the offer to come East
and for six weeks will show spectators
In a theatre how he gave the champion
Of the world such a hard fight. Il Bos-
ton vaudeville company was the first to
see in Munroe q good drawing card and
it wired him an offer OF $500 a week for
six weeks a box on the stage. Munroe
accepted and is only waiting for the
signed contract before starting East.
His first stop will be in New York,
where he has a big offer to referee a
wrestling match.
Like a well-informed pugillst with
stage aspirations. Munroe has begun
talking fight. He has heard OF the
challenges OF Sharkey and kid" Mccoy
and say that aus soon as his engagement
expires he will be ready to sign articles
with either man.
Talking of Mccoy, he thinks the kid"
Is foolish to talk fight with him. He
thinks Mccoy too light and advances the
opinion that the Kid will have to be
considerably improved in his lighting
