Of that street, and anywhere between Fiji

acquainted with the grounds IL would seem
impossible for them 10 have come from any

true that there had been some talk in the
last year about organizing such a trust,

The House representatives passed it
in the face Of a strong lobby by a vote
of 81 to %. 1t was there placed in an
envelope with two other bills and for
warded by a page in due course to the
Senate. 1t never reached its destina-
ton. Somewhere between the desk of
the Speaker of the House and that Of
the President of the Senate, the gam-
blers lobby waylaid the envelope, ab-
stracted the bill and substituted a
dummy properly folded and bearing
similar Endorsement.
1t was on the eve of adjournment
and a special train was waiting to take
the legislators home. When the Prcsi-
dent of the Senate opened the envelope,
the gambling bill on which he was 'eX-
pected to do some maneuvering was
blank. He adjourned the Senate for fif-
teen minutes in order that a quiet in
vestigation might be made by those
interested, but a search by all the
solons who were eager to vote on the

The moot question of Young Cor
belts weight, which has been interest
ing the followers of boxing since the
little champion settled down to train
ing, were definitely settled yesterday.
After his afternoons work in the
gymnasium the Denver boxer stepped
on the scales and the beam balanced
at the 1929 pound mark. This is less
than Corbett weighed on the morning
of his last engagement with Hanlon.
He must weigh l29 pounds at 8 o'clock
next Tuesday at Harry Corbetts.
Il can sit down now and dry out to
the required weight" said Corbett
after he stepped off the scales. Han
Ion had one look in for the champion
ship. but he need not expect another"
Corbett practically completed his
training yesterday. In the morning he
walked to Stow Lake and enjoyed a
brief spell with the oars and then took
a dip in the ocean. In the afternoon
he went three fast rounds with Monte
Attel. 1t was give and take through
out and some hard blows were deliV-
cred. On the previous day Corbett
spared with Monte and the latter was
unable to eat his dinner, his teeth were
so sore from contact with the feather
weights gloves. Monte is ready to
furnish testimonial as to the cham
pion's hitting powers.
Corbett shows no signs Of being
drawn down fine. He is still round and
chubby and seems to have some
fat to spare. 1t is evident he will be a.
his best this time. He has always been
a famous repeater" his second fight
with any man being better than his
first
Co-bett and Hanlon will do no more
hard boxing, as they do not want to
risk their hands. Both count on enjoy
ing big dinners to-day, which will
mean some extra road work tomorrow
to get back 10 the weight they show
this morning.
The betting has opened with Young
COrbett an s to 10 choice. 1t will de-
pend on the volume of money offered
on the rival boxers as to how these odds
will fluctuate. There has been but little
betting up to the present time.
The referee question will be taken up
tomorrow. Corbett says Eddie Gra-
ney was good enough for Jeffries, Fitz-
simmons, Jim Corbett and other fight
ers and he can see no objection TO him
acting on this occasion. Hanlon has
been non -cOmmittal in the matter. and
what stand he will take is problem
atical.
Harry Pollock, Corbett's manager,
left Chicago last night and is due here
on Sunday night.
