2O-ROUND DRAW
Between Young Corbett and
Eddie Hanlon at Frisco.
Fastest Fighting Ever Seen in That
City Or On the Coast.
Both Men Put Up Clean, Hard, Scien-
tific Contest.

San Francisco. Feb. 26.--After 20
rounds of the fastest fighting ever seen
in San Francisco, Referee Graney de-
clared the bout between Young Corbett
of Denver, and Eddie Hanlon of San
Francisco, draw. Young Corbett
clearly demonstrated that he has not
gone back, as some sporting writer's
would have the public believe. Hanlon
also showed that the high opinion in
which he has been held by Californian
boxing enthusiasts has been justified.
The contest from a spectacular stand
point was the best ever witnessed on
the coast, both men putting up a clean,
hard, scientific contest.

NOT THE REAL HANDICAP
Live Bird Shoot in Milwaukee Not
the Grand American, Says
Will K. Park.

According to reports coming from Mil
waukee the Grand American handicap at
live birds will be held In that city next
June. This is on par with reports that
come from Milwaukee and Chicago relat-
ing to such events, says Gun Editor VIII
x Park in Sporting Life. There will be
no Grand American handicap at live birds
in Milwaukee or any other city In 1903.
To hold a live bird shoot III June is like
giving flying target shoot with tin cans
instead of Blue Rocks. The report also
states that Elmer Shaner has been asked
to manage the Milwaukee tournament
We readily imagine what Elmer E. Shan
er's reply will be. Why such reports will
be sent out and accepted by the press
throughout the country news is 4 mai
ter of mystery. Only q few weeks ago
the Interstate association. the promoters
of the Grand American handicap, decided
that they would not hold a live bird event
during 1903. This part settled. they de
cided on an extensive schedule for flying
target tournaments in different parts OF
the country.
But those wide awake. hustling sports
men Of the badger state are not TO be
cheated out Of the Grand American hand
leap, particularly as so many (?) Mil
waukians always entered this big event
So the united gun clubs Of that city de-
clded to hold the Grand American hand
leap In Milwaukee. They were not able
to select a name for it of their own. but
must borrow that honor from the Inter
state association, and any failure woulC
| therefore be thrown back to that organi.
cation.
If Milwaukee gun clubs desire to hole
a live bird shoot in June or July let then
have it. but for goodness sake give 1T E
name Of it's own, and not attempt tc
climb to the high pedestal built by the In
terstate association after years Of hare
struggle. -. =. Il. - ! ~
