be Considines will Back Corbett for 3 S1O,O0O- Thought Likely That Cor
 bett Would Consent George Dixon Wins a Fight in England and Issues a Challenge.
 New York, April 9.-When Young Corbett arrives here next week efforts will be made to induce him to have an other try at Terry McGovern. The ! Considine brothers, George and John who are probably the champions clos est friends in the east, said yesterday that they would accept Sam Harris S10,0o0 wager. which the latter offered to lay on Terry in another battle with Corbett, and that when the Denver boy got here they would entreat nm 70 make the match.
 On the authority of Harry Tuthill' the man who prepared Young Corbett foc his late fight with McGovern, those who had anything to do with the cham pion. in the ring thought it was all over when Terry scored the right hand body punch in the eighth round.
 "Ny boy was all but done for" said Tuthill. '.and 1t was only by clinching, holding and stalling that he weathereo out tbe round. Fortunately the blow was landed when the boys were fight ing near our. corner, and you can bet lost no time in abusing Corbett with cold water to bring him round.
 sThey were both tired in the ninth a,,d tenth rounds, but when they faced eaeh other for the eleventh Corbett said:
 asWho taught you to fight, Terry 2.
 a,The same man who taught you replied McGovern.
 ssNell. here is something he forgot 10 show you and he followed the re- mark with a left on the jaw Which sent Terry staggering across the ring.
 ..That was the beginning of the end Another left drive and right upper cut finished the job.
 "Corbett was confident of whipping Terry and while he had little trou- ble in making the weight. l am glad that he forced this weight on hlmselI, for the reason that he is a lazy trainer and a perfect loafer in his work. lie said often to me during the training season. Harry, if didn't have to make that weight wouldn't train a minute for this fellow This will serve to slow how confident he was.
 s.Corhett's fighting has been misun- derstood. He has not made many bad fights. Many say that he put up bad fight with Eddie Hanlon. do not MninE SO. Hanlon is a troublesome fellow fighting all the time with his arms crossed in front of his face. If you x.s. SNr4 want to go across the street to see him in championship battle. Abe Attell made a fool of him in their fight. they tell me and should have had the decis ion Corbett can fight and fight well but it seems that most men make their star showing against him."
 Boston, April Skid Goodman and Jimmy Briggs, the two best lads o1 their weight in New England, boxed fifteen rounds to a draw at the Health and Physical club last evening. Tn tho final round Goodman was so nearly knocked out that he hung on constant ly. This was after he had missed 6 swing and Briggs had sent in. a left hook to the jaw that told.
 Owen Zeigler. who Is in Bellevue hospital where he is laid up with z severe attack of pneumonia is said tt be getting better.
 Benny Yanger has made two match es. His first will be with Joe Bern stein. They are to have 1t out in To ronto for twenty rounds about tn, latter part of this month, possibly oI April 26. Yesterday Charley Horan Bernstein's manager, received an offe from a club in Toronto to box Yange and he accepted 1t. Rangers othe light will be with Kid Brown. The, are to box before the Southern A. c In Louisville on Maya. This will als, be limited to twenty rounds.
 George Dixon seems to have strucl a winning gait in England. The othe night Dixon met Jack Pearson, an Eng fish featherweight i'll a fifteen roun, bout in London and defeated his op ponent in the eighth round. Pearson has not been boxing long and no on expected him to make a good showing However. from the start, he rushed tn ex-champion. landing some stiff knocks In the fourth round he almost knocke Dixon down with wild swing. Blu the negro's experience and clevernes came in handy and when he cut loos Paarson was not in it. Tn the eight round when it was apparent that Peal son would be knocked he tndulged i foul tactics. He roughed it and hit i clinches contrary to agreement. Dixor . however, did not mind and wallope the Englishman for keeps. One c his blows landed on the wind and Pear son sank to the floor. He made bluff claim that Dixon struck him be low the belt and refused to continue Thereupon he gave the decision to Dix =. The men fought for small purst DsaxsaHno aml
