Pugilism has been distinctly dead the
last week, about the only matter of ma
tional interest being the shifting of the
Young Corbett-McGovern championship

position to the contest on the part OF the
Connecticut authorities having prompted
this step. Locally. the chief interest was
centered in Goodman's defeat OF Danny
Daugherty a week ago.
While recent developments made IT seem
unlikely that any positive interference
with the bout would have occurred at New
London, announcements that the officials
were hostile to the contest would have
cut down the attendance greatly. Sporting
men would have hesitated about making
the trip from New York. fearing that the
light might be called off at the Lass me
ment and this would have CIT down the
receipts greatly.
In Louisville there is no chance O: in
reference, according to President Bob
Gray of the Southern Athletic Club, and
this section of the country can furnish
just as big n house as any other. The
attendance at the McGovern-suIiiyGn con
test, when the club was crowded 20 the
doors. proves this beyond doubt.
Changing the date TO September % may
do SOM harm If the men have been in
creasing their training preparations in SUCH
a way as to key themselves up gradually

If ever a champion labored under diff

Corbett Is the man. For the last eight
months he has been trying to fight some
of the aspifants to the championship and
in every case some interference has re-
suited and stopped the fight. Denver ahd
st. Louis were first closed to him and then
New London became unsuitable. After
he has finally fought McGovern he will
certainly be entitled to a rest.

Young Corbett does not mind a gallery at
his fighting preparations; in fact. he rather
seems to like spectators at his bouts with
his sparring partners. to judge from his
work while training in this city. But if he

in order to demonstrate to the people
of our country that the statements of
the operators are unfounded, that the
mine workers are law abiding citizens,

call mass meetings of all men on strike,

be held in each mining town at q
