Lost Again Yesterday and Is Now Next to Last Place-Meriden Coming Fast and Defeats New Haven-New London Wins from Bridgeport yoke Did Not Play Yesterday. q Boston, June 23.-Young Corbett will again place his featherweight title in danger next Thursday. On that day -or rather evening-he will defend ii against Hughey Murphy in the ring of the Tammany Athletic club of Bos- ton.
 The boys are down on the card to go ten rounds. The weight is 12S pounds, weigh in at 3 o'clock.
 No matter what the croakers and the misinformed may say, there is and will be no question of Corbett's condi- tion.
 When this lad came out Of the west, Nike young Lochinvar. to carry off and wed the championship, he came un- known, unheralded and unsung. He was nothing but an exercising gallop for 'sTerrible Terry" The way the little Brooklyn wildcat would eat him up-why, there was nothing to it, etc.
 
 pened.
 That fight in Hartford was no fiuke for Corbett. He made good afterward and repeated the dose when MeGovern tried him the second time.
 In Murphy the champion will bump into the hardest game he has tackled since he fought McGovern.
 This boy is a little bulldog. He killed a man in the ring-Eugene Me Carthy. He is a vicious, two-hdnded fighter, always coming, and can take the blinding smash between the eyes and the [heart-stopping rip in the body without any sinking of the stomach. And he is clever withal
 The weigh-in is in Corbett's favor. He's pretty big boy for 122 pounds and has the body of a lightweight. At 128 at 3 o'clock the champion will sprawl under the ropes very near the 133-pound limit
 Harry Pollok, who looks after the Kids" matches, has managed to take very good care of the scale proposition, not only in this, but other engage ments.
 Murphy is easily fit at 122. and will not carry much more than that when the bell tinkles. In this class few
  of possibilities.
 The boys that worry Corbett most are the toe dancers. Those who are in and out, stabbing and getting away. The clever, shifty boxers who have for their metto. He who fights and runs away lives to dodge and thus to stay"

Local sports looked to see the great little fighter from Chicago knock out the local man inside the limit of six rounds. He not only failed to come up to expectations, but the best he got was a draw. and at that Dougherty did more than his share of the leading and landed several blows which maaas Forbes's head rock Tn the first round Forbes got in right-hander to the jaw which staggered the local lad. and the crowd yelled in satisfaction. It looked as though the champion would perform the expected trick. It was the end of their joy, however, for after that Forbes contented himself with trying
  connect The champion seemed to work under pull through the second third fourth and fifth rounds. He did not wake up until a minute before the bell sounded announcing the end of the battle when Forbes got in couple of straight rights tp the jaw and Danny was in bad way at the finish It is said the men will meet in a if teen round bout in the west at a. future date. The men have met twice before Forbes winning in two rounds each time. Forbes won the title from Dougherty.
