YOUNG CORBETT is SATISFIED
viii Do No More Boxing Until the Day
of the FIGHT.

Young Corbett is now taking things
easy at training quarters and will do little
boxing. He considers he is just at the
right degree of perfection and will cut out
the boxing to a more or less extent for
the reason that he does not wish to have
the exercise become monotonous. After
Corbett has trained just so long he begins
to hate the sight Of glove and diversifes
his exercises so as not to retrograde and
at the same time does just enough work to
keep him in good spirits and from getting
stale. The little champion once expressed
himself thus
Fighting is just about the same as act
ing, according to what actors tell me. You
can rehearse play too long and it gets
so monotonous that you are over-contident
and will make bull on the first line. Now
this applies to training. A man can over
train in more ways than one He can get
the thing down SO fine that he gets
fixed program in his nut and the the
first time he gets good stiff wallop he for
gets his cue and there you are"
The betting on the go will be heavy as
several Eastern bookmakers will be present
with barrel of Corbctt money. Hanlon
has as many followers and the money that
will change hands on the contest will be
considerable. Harry Corbctt, who is an
excellent judge of prices, thinks the bet
ting will open at 8 to 10, and huctuatc be-
tween. that and even money.

DENVER HORSE SHOW

"1hc finest in the West is the motto
set by the Denver Gcnicmcn's Driving

that the club Is Oh the right road TO
achieve its purpose. over I5o vehicles
appeared in the parade, and drawing not
one Of them was less than thoroughbred
or candidate for honors in harness.
Denver has always possessed its quota
OF sportsmcn, and they range from the
bamboo and reel to the drivers Of blooded
stock When it was announced that Colo
RADIO would hold two horse shows each
season-onc in Denver and the other in
Colorado Springs--thc East roarcd with
laughter And there were Eastern folks
galore in Colorado, some for health some
for divorces, some for pleasure, and they
all had money. When the first event was
pulled off they said:
"Well, it wasn't so bad
Since then horses from all over the
country arc entered for the annual prizes,
and goodly prizes they are.
Among some oi the notable horses that
have been disportipg themselves in the
Colorado stadiums are Limestone Bell,
Forest King, Columbus, and many other
high school favortcs
The Gcntcmen's Riding and Driving

it, and there are no better judges of

CAN JACK STOP IKE?
HAYES MANAGER WANTS TO PIT
THE COLORED MAN AGAINST
MUNROE-CHANCES

Jack Livingston, who Is managing Ike
Hayes, wants to put his man against Jack
Munroe when the Butte miner returns from
the East to eat his Christmas turkey in
the great copper camp.
Jack bases his claim to a go with Munroc
on the grounds that when Ike met the big
fellow before he was able to put mp a
good article of scrap for four rounds and
had Munroe jumping sidewise several
times. At that time, it is claimed, Ike was
not trained but on the other hand. Mum
roe had been in constant training days
before he met Jeiiries When Ike went to
Caldwell, Idaho, to meet oe Cotton. lie
had been working as swamper and had
well defined case Of paranoia. i'll that he
tried to work night and day without sleep.
pretty much OH the Bcckmanesgues style
This prevented training and the result was
that Cotton landed Ike in the eth round
Then before Ike had recovered from his
stiffness, he went TO Helena and met Mike
Sullivan, the big man from the hill, who is
spoken of as candidate with a desire to
tackle Jack Munroe. Ike and Mike went
10 fast rounds and there was no love taps
in it either Ike was lucky TO get away
with draw considering his condition.
Since that time Livingston has had the
big colored man OH a steady diet OF good
hours and systematic training and pro-
poses to have him in shape TO do battle
with any Of the Montana heavy weights.
Ike is entitled TO a 30 with Sullivan, and
will take him on at any tinc III the near
future. and if Jack Munroe will consent to
stop the colored man in six rounds there
is said to be money on tap TO say he can
not perform the work. Ike has always
proved accommodating in prelminaries
and is entitled to great deal of considera-
tion from those who promote the game III
Montana, and it is nothing but just that
he be given consideration.
