'homnonshlp on the night OF the 10Th,
AGO rounding into fine form for the big
s,rupgle. This contest is attracting

10 the Jefries-Corbctt mill, ana when
,no gong sounds to call the little fell
law 10 the center of the ring, 1t VIII

bggest crowds that ever assembled on

Despitc the fact that Hanlon Is almost

,rs. Corbett has hundreds OF admirers
IN his opponents stronghold and they

tut which seems to be the accepted
welpht AZ this time. The fight will be
referred by Eddie Graney the man who
las oglclated in that capacity In ali
the recent big contests,
Benny Yanger is once more In the
Nmelight. and has again encouraged
Ms friends to believe he is still In the
race for championship honors In the
fpatherweight class. Yangers defeat
O, Hughey Murphy at the Watita club
few nights ago, furnished Mt least
Two surprises, one was the fact that
Yanger showed a knocskout punch and
won In hurry. and the other was the
Unexpectedly weak showing OF Murphy.
The Boston man did not land blow
that gave Yanger a good Jarring, while
Benny slammed all kinds of hard ones
At his opponent from the minute the
fght began until Murphy was on the
floor taking the count. Yanger made a
fast and crcditable fight. He hit harder
than he did the last time he appeared
IN Chicago, and fought with much more
Dash,
one Of the explanations offered for
yangers Improvement is that for u
Wuple Of years he has been fighting
ma fear that he would lose a decision
and mar his record. He had no such
fear after he lost to Hanlon. Instead
Of working as If afraid to LET himself
out, he was rid of his fear and fought
10 good style.
Yanger Is now challenger OF the
winner of the fight between Young
COrbett aud Eddie Hanlon at san
Francisco. The champion and the Call
iloma are now i'm training for the bat
lie which is. arOusing much interest on
the coast
Corbett will most ll,.ely he made n
fayorite for the fight but Hanlon will
have plenty of baclers who will jump
at anything like odds, and who may
back their man sufficiently TO make
him almost an equal choice. The fact
that Corbett showed so strongly
against Terry McGovern the last time
the pair appeared together has left an
Impression on the Californians. Be
sides II Is natural that champion
should be fayorte. The impression re-
mains, too, that Corbett was not in
condition when Hanlon fought him to
draw
There are n number of shrewd men
VINO pick Hanlon to win. One of them
IS Jim Corbett, who has greater faith
u The Californian than he has In the
lighter that bears his name, George
Gardner is another who likes Hanlon's
chances.
