mits George Siler 80 much had been
said of the champions improvement
in every branch of the fighting game
they looked to see 'Corbett give the
kid the worst trouncing in his career
In fact 1t was strongly limited he
would have Broad on the canvas for
the count before the expiration Of the
contest. In this he failed dlsmally, as
at no time during the bout did he jar
the kid hard enough to interfere with
his thinking apparatus. On the other
hand, press accounts of the contest
say the champion was within few
steps of the corner of Queer st. in the
ninth round. The champions long
lay y-off probably accounted for his poor
showing"
