YOUNG CORDETT TIPS
THE SCALES At IS2 z
Hanlon Only One Pound Over Weight.
Several Bets Made at 10 to 8
on Champion.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. Dec. 2s-As
the time for their championship battle
draws near, Young Corbett' and Eddie
Hanlon. who are to fight FOR the feath-
erweight championship next Tuesday
night, grow stronger in confidence.
Both have stopped hard work. and are
devoting their time to gaining speed and
adding to their qualities of endurance.
Hanlon weighed at noon yesterday 1870
pounds-one pound more than the ar
ticles of agreement for Tuesday even
ings engagement call for. Corbett is
slightly heavier than his opponent.
weighing 1924 pounds. The one or two
pounds overweight do not worry either
of the men, as they can reach the re-
quired figure with a few hours work
Hanlon has for the last day or two
abandoned the boxing part of his daily
routine. He carries about with him
pair of eyes that are vari-colored. Both
are proof that his trainers have landed
on him and hard. too. The glove work
between Hanlon and MS men has been
particularly fierce.
A spirit Of confidence is evident in the
camp of Young Corbe Il" The cham
pion is in fine fettle. He could fight to-
day If called upon. To please the
newspaper men he went through a
course for the boys here yesterday. and
after going through his varied exer-
cises, weighed in. showing his weight
as stated above. He boxed a bout with
his sparring partner. smashed the bas
and fought a few shadows" using
light dumbbells at this work.
The odds on the fight are gradually be
coming settled. The chsmpion now
ranges a 10 to s favorite over Hanlon
Several good bets were made at this
figure. But as there is lots of money
here ready to be placed on both fighters
the betting men are waiting until the
last moment to make their bets. hoping
for more favorable odds. II is not like
ly. however. that the betting will shift
much-not more than half a point, II
that.
A number of Eastern sporting meT
