 Albany, Jan 22.-Senator James J. tFrawley of Manhattan borough Is looked upon with admiration by his Tammany colleagues. Senator Fraw ley always has had aspirations as 8 boxer, and as a member of the Knick- lerbocker A. c. he enjoyed showing ihow to use the mitts to any one who T doubted his ability. His penchant has been to box with the champion heavyweights, and when he learned that Corbett was in town he arranged a match. Corbett is exercising daily lat Hittes gymnasium and is also box ing with Hitte. who is clever well terweight.
 The bout came off yesterday after noon in the gymnasium and was en- joyed by crowd of spectators. The senator was out of condition and over weight. During the Interchange. he managed to hit Corbett once and Corbett looked annoyed and puzzled. It developed later that he wondered what was tickling him. About one minute of the second round and then the senator threw up the sponge.
 Corbett is still determined he can. force Jeffries to fight him. Until >l he consents to sign articles shall fol- s low him wherever he goes, hurling my challenge at him." he says. "In every town that he goes in I will have post ed on high fences and billboards three sheet posters, and in letters two feet long this will meet his eyes: James U. Corbett, the only man Jeffries is afraid to fight That will convince the people that he is a fakir and his show business will cease to be profit able, for the people would not care to see man who is afraid to fight"
 Camden,N. J., Jan 22.-Joe Goddard. the pugilist, who was shot in the head Hast July by Constable Washington in a primary election row at Dog Corner. lin Pensauken township, died yesterday fin Cooper hospital. Shortly after the shooting Goddard went insane and was taken to the county asylum, where he remained for six weeks. His reason returned and he was removed to the county jail and locked up on a charge of assaulting Constable Washington.
 
 his health again failed, and in Decem- Der he was returned to Cooper hospf- tai. Constable Washington is out on pail, but may be rearrested now that 0is victim is dead.
 Goddard was born in PryanulI, small town in New South Wales, Aus tralia, in 1862. He grew up and re- ceived his schooling in Pryanull. Fighting was one of the diversions of the miners, and Goddard took part in many a battle long before he thought of entering the ring. He was early declared the Barrier. champion of Australia, as he had defeated all com. eys. His last fight was six-round draw with George Cole at Philadel. phia several months ago.
 New York, Jan 22.- fact that Jokn Hertz, manager of Benny Yan- ger, has posted $1,000 in Chicago to bind a match with Young Corbett is not disturbing the latter The feath- erweight champion, who is in town taking things easy, when asked what he had to say relative to Rangers challenge, replied:
 "I. am after McGovern now, and un- til am convinced that there ais no possibility of us coming together, will not talk business with any one else. In the meantime I will have to ignore Yanger, not because am afraid, but because don't see how I can answer Yanger definitely until have finished with McGovern."
 Joe Vendig, the bookmaker, who was present at the time, said there is a chance of Young Corbett and Yan- ger coming together, provided the lat ter's manager will agree to a bet of $10,000 on the side. Vendig assumed that if the champion made up his mind to fight Yanger he would insist on a. big, side wager. However, on this point Young Corbett remained si- lent.
 San Francisco, Jan 22.-Local sport Ing men are trying to get at the bot tom of the California A. G., the or ganization which applied for a permit from the supervisors to hold mill in this city in February. It was at first supposed that Aleck Greggains had an. interest in the concern, but that belief has been dissipated by the manager of the San Francisco club, who declared he has nothing to do with it.
 Now a new theory has been sprung. It is to the effect that Healy Davis, Zeke Abrams and Jerry Driscoll are behind the outfit. Davis is to do the . political work. Abrams to furnish the wind and DriscolI the coin to push the thing along. The Twentieth Century club which was formerly run by the trio, is to be dropped on account of the unpopularity it earned through leas- Ing the Mechanics Pavilion last year.
 The date of Eddie Connolly's match with Tom Woodley has been set for January 26 They will meet for fif- teen rounds before the National Sport ing club. London, for purse and side bet of $250.
