which he was bending his great mind to
the task Of elevatng the stage
Never before yesterday had Cofbett met
Munroe. lie was introduced 20 him IN the

more praise on Corbett for Ruliin's VIC
tory than they did on the victor. Corbett
sat at the ringside and coached Ruhlin
throughout. The latter hardly aimed

Sporting men all over town, when they
heard of Corbett's plan, began 20 take
Munroe's fight with Sharkey more serious

u Ball accepts Corbetts offer, Munroe Will
develop into as good a heavyweight as
there is IN the ring today.
