GORBETT-M'
FIGHT TONIGHT
Both Pugilists Well Tuned Up for the
Contest.

San Francisco. March 30.-Eddie
Graney, who will referee the Corbett-
McGovern fight tomorrow night, visited
both training quarters today. He
wished to get an exact Interpretation
from the two pugilists of the agrees
ment which Corbett and McGovern's
managers signed last night
As the agreement reads, IN case foul
is claimed by either side, the decision
of the referee must be withheld until
after a reputable physician has made
an examination and reported what In
jury, if any. has been inflicted. Graney
wants to have the full meaning of the
agreement understood by all parties.
1t must be known whether the exam
ination is to be made at the ringside
and who will make it. In fact all ts.
circumstances surrounding such an
event must be clearly laid down. The
agreement has been discussed rather
widely by the sporting fraternity
Opinions vary as to its possible effect
1t is granted that either a good or "A
bad use could be made of such an un-
derstanding but the fact that Graney
has called for complete Interpretation
satisfies sports generally that no mis-
use of the agreement can come about.
At noon today the betting odds on
the Corbett-McGovern fight remainel

case right along. is on the long end OF
the argument. Terry McGovern, who

rather easy in Alameda. This morning
he did no work worth mentioning. He
spent most of the time lying around
headquarters. chatting With his train
ers, and guests. He took little recre.
alton road work this afternoon.
The claim is made for Champion
Corbett tonight. that he has at last
reached the limit of 127 pounds. He had
a hard day yesterday. and though IL
was raining heavily, took six mile
tramp in the face of a fierce wind To
day he was abroad early Tor active OK

OF 1902, upon the completion of the At
lanta penitentiary. a number OF United
States prisoners incarcerated in neni-
tentiaries in Ohio and New York were
transferred to the peniteEtiary Of At
lanta. By reason of the transfer of
those prisoners, their terms of ;Inpris-
onTnent were practically increased TO
the extent of three or four years. for
the reason that the Ohio and New York
laws rela ting to the diminution of SEN
tences for good conduct, which by the
federal statutes were made applicable
to United States prisoners, were very
much more liberal than the federal
sentences is permitted in federal insti-
tutions.
The last congress repealed the federal
statutes making state laws applicable
to United States prisoners, and enacted
& very liberal Communication law appli
cable to all United States prisoners
wherever confined. On account of the
great injustice done to the prisoners
transferred to Atlanta in eXtenii2 g
iieir sentences by the terms which
were intended by the courts in impos-
ing the sentence, and III order 10 rem
edy this injustice, the president has is
sued a general order, under which each
transferred prisoner will be discharged
upon the day when he would have been
discharged had he continued to be con-
fined in the state prison or penitentiary
from which he was transferred.
The president has denied fifteen aD-
plications for executive clomency and
has exercised cleneLcy in nine cases.
