When McGovern was training for the
Louisville bout. which did not come off,
he was quartered at the Norwood Inn,
and decided to work there for the De-
troit bout.
The Detroit officials state that If tho
bout is held under the stated restric-
tions there will be no interference by
the police OF anybody else. IL seems
that the only restriction placed on the
bout is that its length has been limited
TO ten rounds. II Corbett is in any
thing like the shape he was in when he
put McGovern out about a year ago. ten
rounds will be just about seven or eight
too many.

Rubin. and Bob Fitzsimmons are send
ing out defs almost every day. and from
present indications there should be a
fight or two clinched before next spring.

him to fight but me. and II he is ever
going to fight again. why. I'll have TO
