"youNG CoRBETPs" IDEA.
lie Declares That Poor Boxers Are
Hard TO Knock Out.

There has been much criticism made
OF late OF young Corbetts" showing In
recent battles. Because the champion
has failed to knock out his men In jig
time he Is said TO have gone back since
his battle with McGovern year ago,
which won for him the featherwelght
championship, says the New York Jour
nal.
"Corbett" does not agree with his
critics and says there Is no doubt In
his mind that he Is as good today II
not better, than ever before, and VIII
prove II when the proper time comes
Regarding his failure to knock out his
opponents, "Corbett" told in an inter-
view with an American representative
the difference between fighting Tor u
decision and trying to knock his man
out. He claims II is a harder PROPOSE
ton to knock out a clever boy, even II
he is not a champion, than 70 score
knockout in a straight fight with
much better man,
did you ever carry a heavy load
with some one and have him throw all
the weight on you? Well. that Is the
game one is up against when he goes
In TO knock a fellow out You have TO
do all the work while the other fellow
has felt no effects Of the load, There
Is no clnch In knocking man out UNI
less he Is ready TO toe the mark. In a
sx-round bout the boys are wise and
they are satisfied to stay the limit, They
ure not particular as to what means
they use to stay there, Some keep go
ing to the floor and others take II on
the run, and II Is hard enough when a
fellow stands up and acts on the de-
fonsive,
ITO land a knockout you must be af-
ter your man all the time, You hardly
wait for an opening, but keep up the
hot pace from start to finish, II takes
good condition to do this, and still II a
fellow fails to do the trick In record
time the cry is made that he has gone
back Now as for my opinion, | would
much prefer to meet FIVE McGoverns
than two of the secondraters.
"Why? Well, 1t may seem strange,
but II Is nevertheless a fact that he is
an easier man to finish Off than those
who stay away. McGovern Is fighter
He will come TO you and fight you Oh
even terms and a man that comes 10
you Is apt to so out any second.
"Of course the chances of being de-
feated with such man are much
greater, but il is not so tlresome. Take
my fight with McGoveTn. We fought
one of the fastest battles on record. 1t
was over quick and came out of the
battle almost as fresh as when the
gong sounded, As an example OF a slow
fight take Jeffrles' fight with Corbett
The latter kept out Of danger and for
20 rounds the champion was unable to
land a dangerous blow. Still the tao
tics distressed Jeffries more than In any
OF his battles since he became cham
pion.
"The effort to get at his fleeing oppo-
nent seemed to have q more trying eff
feet than IL he was hit n good blow. A
fighter in good form will recover from
the hardest blow in quick time, proyd-
ing the blow does not put him out al
together. He may feel trltle dazed,
but the effects pass away without any
serious results,

Volcano and Politics.

Bitter political strife ragged in
Martinique before the disaster. There
was distinct cleavage between
whites, mulatoes and blacks. Social
solidarity was wanting. The colony
was in most degraded condition.
Political agitators spens large sums
of public. money The pictors seized
the spoils by right. The greater part
Of the public revenues were spent in
salaries and public work was neglect
ed.
Socialism was largely to blame for
many of the evils in tie island. 1t
stirred up discomfort among the blacks
to gain their votes. It was aggres-
siYe, destructive and dangerous. It at
tackled and endeavered to destroy the
sugar interest. The colony under
these circumstances was going to the
bad. The white population was
gradually leaving the island and there
was every prospect of bloody racial
encounters when the eruption took
place. Now all is forgotten. The
exodus proceeds at such rate as
warrants the statement that few
whites will be left to take part in
race troubles, while the disaster has SC
sobered the blacks that they will re-
main qaiet for an indefinite period.
The Socialists are likely to give the
island wide berth in the future.

These are to be redeemable or payable
at any money order postofice. A fee
in addition to the face value will be
charged for every check issued, one
half of which fee may be allowed as
compensation for services rendered In

I've postage stamps 1aay be aS61ea SO

time thereafter by the Postofice De-
partment without charge. Duplicates
will be similarly valid for three
months. After the. postal check is
once paid the United States shall not
be liable for any further claim for its
payment All statutory provision

plicable and consistent, are to apply
to these checks, and the expenditures
present money order Offices. The pos
tai checks are to be of uniform size
and shape, bound in books, and will
be sold wherever the regular stamps
are sold.
