James j. Corbett has added three more
victories TO his credit, but it isn't probable
that they will be entered in his official
record According to a story in the New
York Sun the former champion pugilist was
driving along Pell avenue, near Willets
Point, the other day, when he passed three
soldiers who were on foot. He wore a
fedora hat turned down over his eyes and
an old coat and presented quite "rube"
appearance. Look out. yer hayseed," re-
marked one of the trio as the runabout
went by him. Corbett slowed up his horses
alighted from the wagon and demanded an
apology. The soldiers laughed in derison
I'VE take nothin' back, see? Who the devil
are your? Whereupon the heaviest of the
three opened up on Corbett and struck him
in the ribs.
Corbett did not expect anything of the
sort He retaliated by dealing three terrific
blows al the big soldier, and the first fight
was over in less than a round. The soldier
lay on the ground motionless. During this
round the other two looked on amazed
Then they tried TO even up matters for
their comrade. and both started in to lick
the former champion. Inside Of three min
utes they Were both foored. While they
were lying on the ground Corbett placed
one of his cards on the lapels of each Of
his victims coats. Then he went on his
way. Il don't like to take advantage of
any Of these people," said Corbett, but l
thought it would teach them a lesson"

II. B. Gentry and George II. Ketcham,
owners of two of the greatest sires in the
world-McKinney. 2:11A, and Cresceus.
2:02A, had quite an interesting converse
ton in the lobby of English Opera House
last Thursday evening on the topic of
breeding. Mr.. Gentry is practically new in
the breeding world, but his recent acquisi-
ton of Mckinney to his stock farm places
him as one of the foremost breeders of the
country. Mr.. Ketcham has been in the
breeding business for a number Of years.
You will pardon my suggesting it, said
Mr.. Ketcham TO Mr.. Gentry, but there is
one thing you never want 10 do in breed
ing horses, and that is to breed mares on
the sharing business. There is no money
in ii, and it demOraliZes the business. One
of the prominent breeders of the country
did this sort of breeding this summer, and
where he should have made $1,000 or $4,000
he will not clear over a few thousand dol
lars. If you can't get your fee in cash
do not breed on the sharing PLAN.
Mr. Gentry will charge a fee of 800 for
Mckinney next year and expects to make
the great sire earn enough in year and a
half to pay the $4,000 investment. Ii is
probable, that Mr.. Gentry will not breed
Mckinney on the sharing plan. A pr0mi-
nent horseman of this city declared yester-
day that some of the most successful
breeders in the country have become
wealthy by breeding on the sharing plan.
but acknowledged il was better for an
owner of a stallion like Mckinney or
Cresceus to do a straight business.

As to Superstitions.
New York Evening Sun.


Probably there is no place on earth"
said the trained nurse from one of the large
New York hospitals, where greater regard
is paid to senseless superstitions than in a
hospital l was not brought up myself 10
regard signs and such things but since I've
been doing hospital work I've heard so
much OF sign-lOre that I've come 10 be an
expert on the subject Each patient who
comes in is heard sooner or later to aver
with much fervOr that he or she is not in
the least superstitious. but still there is one
thing that he or she wouldn't want 10 do
pet superstition of that particular individ-
ual is. Strange TO say. the men are even
more superstitiOus than the women. One
man worried himself into a fever because
an English sparrow persisted in flying
against his window and chattering on the
window ledge. We had him removed 10
another room. where he regained his peace
of mind and finally recovered. Another
man was greatly disturbed because the
rays Of the morning sun came into the
room over his left shoulder. We could not
change the sun, so We moved his bed 10 an
other quarter of the room. Ii would be the
height OF folly for.any hospital TO have a
room bearing the number 13 for no one
would be found rash enough 10 venture
therein. When the rooms of our hospital
were numbered the one which naturally
would have been Is was labeled IA instead
Strange TO say, the only deaths in the in
stitutiOn during the past year have taken
place in that very room. I'm not the least
bit superstitious myself but-still. I'd hard

ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING OF THE
BOWLING ORGANIZATION.
Players VIII BE Permitted to Bowl
with Minor CHARACTERIZATION
ship Games Begin Sept. 10.

The Indianapolis Bowling League held a
meeting at the Marion Club yesterday
afternoon for the purpose OF reorganiZing
for the season of 1923 Although there has
been a general cessation of bowling for
two months, every club was represented
and the greatest enthusiasm was man
ifested by those representing the ten clubs
of the league. The fact that the national
tournament is TO be held here next Febru-
airy seemed to inspire the directors with
desire to promote the largest success, not
only for the l. B. L., but for all the other
leagues of the city. Sentiment seemed to
favor letting down the bars that have in
the past prevented a member of the 1. B. L.
from bowling in any other league. The di-
rectors rather favored the two big leagues
the Indianapolis and the Independent
continuing the rule that players Of one
league may not play with the other. but
Withdrawing restrictions as to the five-men
team leagues that are now being talked of.
They favored aiding the organization of
the Fraternal. Commercial, Bankers and
Wholesalers leagues, with perhaps the
addition Of an East End League and a
South Side League. The two big leagues
include all the best players of the city. The
additional leagues are to be promoted to
admit those who may not gain access to
either of the other leagues because of men,
bership limits, but who enjoy bowling with
an organized team.
The directors decided to continue bowling
on Friday nights and the schedule will open
Sept. 10 for twenty-seven weeks The same
system of ten-men teams in divisions will
be pursued last season, il having given
entire satisfaction. The league will hold
another meeting next Friday evening at
the Marion Club. During the time before
this meeting the clubs will hold their
annual meetings for reorganization and ac-
ceptance of members
The MariOns and Turner's will meet at
their club rooms tomorrow night for re-
organization. The Capital Citys have al
ready chosen Fred b. COmstock for captain
and Elmer +. Gay has been made CAPTAIN
of the Ko-We-Bas. The North Sides will
meet this week TO re-elect John Reagan
captain. The MariOns talk only of re-
electing Bob Bryson captain. but Bryson
insists that he will not serve. There is
some talk of selecting Councilman Lew
Cooper for the captaincy, but Cooper is
opposed TO this. BrysOn, so far, is the only
IL is safe TO say that Bryson will again
be captain There will probably be no
| change in the team.
AT yesterdays meeting officers for the
coming season were elected. Colonel Harry
/ =. Smith, who was voted the suit case at
| the stag last spring the most popular
member of the league, was elected pres-
/ dent, Elmer +. Gay, vice president, and
| w. a. Bogardus secretary-treasurer.
| a meeting of the Independent League
/ at the Washington alleys. President G.
/ r Baron thinks he viii call a meeting for
| that time. The acting secretary of the
| league now is G.. E. Banworth.

Abe Attell and Benny Yanger will fight
before the Acme Club at Oakland, Cal,
on Oct. T.
Terry McGovern says he will wager S., 600
of his own money that he will win over
Young Corbett. Max Rogers, of the Rogers
Bros theatrical firm, has bet 81 900 on Nc
Govern at even money, and Dick Bernard,
brother TO Sam Bernard, has wagered the
same sum-
Both Corbett and McGovern will prob
ably train in Cincinnati. The former will
secure quarters at the Price Hill House,
where Jeffries trained for the fight that
failed. McGovern will be located at Nor
wood Inn. Young Corbett says he believes
he will be able to win from McGovern and
that 1T will be easier this time, as he had
greatly improved since they last met
Manager Bob Gray. OF the Southern Ath-
letic Club, has abandoned the idea of hav-
ing the McGovcrn-Corbett contest in the
open, and it will be held in the Auditorium.
The seats will be placed on sale Sept. l. He
said that, judging from the inquiries. every
reserved seat in the house will be sold long
before the date of the contest Prices will
range from 50 to $50.

HOLSTERS WILL BE THERE
WILL BE WELL REPRESENTED AT
CORBETT-MGOvER FIGHT.
Roth Fighters viii Train at Cincin-
NATL. j. Corbett Whips Three
SOIdiers-RinE Chatter.

While the date Of the Young Corbett-
Terry MoGovern championship battle is
still five weeks off there is more interest
being shown in Indianapolis and Indiana
at large than was ever displayed in any
battle between men of that division of
fighters a few weeks ago the fight fol-
lowers discussed the chances of McGovern
regaining the title or of Young Corbett
again being able to place McGovern in the
land of dreams, but outside of such dis
cussions there was no great amount OF IN
terest in the battle. Since the fight has
been transferred to Louisville to take place
Sept % it is the chief topic among In
dianapols men and sports in the gas belt
cities. 1t is safe TO say there will be
from 1900 10 1900 men from this city and
State at the ringside the night the two
little fellows clash for the feather-weight
championship. Many indianapolis men have
already written TO the Southern Athletic
Club to engage seats and prominent In
dianapolis man has wired for box at the
ringside.
Both the little fighters will be in the
West this week and will train in this part
of the country until the fight. Young Cor
bett has already arrived at Cincinnati and
Terry McGOvern will leave New York to-
night for Cincinnati accompanied by his
brother Hughey, Joe Humphreys, Art
Simms and Eddie Cain. McGOvern was given
great ovation when he arrived in New
York the latter part of last week from
Stratford Conn, where he had been in
training. McGovern met many sporting
men in New York who were surprised to
see the little fellow in such superb con-
dition.
Manager Sam Harris will not accompany
Terry to Cincinnati as he is busy just at
this time with theatrical business.
II will post $1,000 as a forfeit to back
McGovern against any man in the world
| at l22 pounds if he wins his coming fight,
! said Manager Harris in New York. "All
| this rot about McGovern not being able
| to do 122 pounds is without doubt the work
| of some knockers. III bet anyone who
cares TO wager $500 that McGovern will
not weigh over 124 pounds the night he
| fights Corbett, which is several pounds be-
| low what the articles call for
| 1t is likely that the preliminaries in the
! McGovern-Corbett contest in Louisville
| will be between Art Simms and Willie Fitz-
| gerald, and Eddie Cain and Willie Mack
may appear on the same night. Smms
! and Cain are McGovern's sparring part
ners, while Fitzgerald and Mack act in the
same capacity for Young Corbett.
