TRICKS OF THE SNOWMAN,
Advance Agent Tells How He Held an

little county seat town we were to open
a new playhouse one Monday night,
and, contrary to the custom, we were
going to stay through the week. Most
new playhouses are dedicated by a one
night stand company.
L went down, billed the town, and
worked off several columns of good
reading matter on the local editor, who
was given a good seat in the first row
OF the gallery. On the Monday we were
to dedicate the house the scenery ar
rived all right, and I had it carried up
to the 'opry house. as they called it.
At o'clock 1 went down to meet the
players.

they had missed the train. There wasn't

YOUNG CORBETT
TO WIN FIGHT
Milwaukee Man Says Feath-
erweights Will Fake
Their Battle.

MILWAUKEE, March 24-Young
Corbett is to win over Terry Meow
ern in seven rounds when they meet in
cOrding to one of the best posted men
in Milwaukee on fighting, who has re-
ceived information to this effect as d
tip from Chicago.
This man, who has probably seen
more championship fights than any one
else in Milwaukee, but who for obvious
reasons does not care to have his
name mentioned, said yesterday, that
the clique in charge of the affair will
make Terry McGoVern the favOrite in
the betting and then unload on Corbett
at the last moment.
The story goes that certain men who
were identified with the McGovern-
Cans scandal in Chicago some time ago
are engineering this affair.
Should a deal be carried through
whereby COrbett is again returned a
winner, barrel of money could be
cleaned up in the East, as Terry's
friends in that section of the country
are legion. In New York, Boston,
Pittsburg, Philadelphia, and other
Eastern cities, McGoVern will be a de-
cided favOrite in the betting
When the McGOvern-Gan fake was
pulled off in Chicago McGovern said
that he did not know of any prear-
ranged plans for him to win, and he
was eXonerated in the public mind, in
fact, it will be difficult to convince the
average fight fancier that the ex-
champion would be party to any such
