Corbett said he in tended to go on a theatrical tour for some months, and at the end of his stage venture he would consider the proposition. Sam Harris, McGoyern's manager, yesterday made a statement in which he said that while he did not believe the timekeeper had any dis honest motive in the fight, still he was of the opinion that the watch holder had been mistaken in calling off the seconds in which McGovern was on the floor. Harris also said he thought Corbett was too heavy for McGovern, having gained several pounds after weighing in, but was willing to take chances on another meeting of the fighters.

 Spike Sullivan has finally induced Jabez White to meet him again and ac- cording to- the latest mail advices from England the pair are to box fifteen rounds before the National Sporting club London, on April 20. The weight is 135 pounds, weigh in at 2 o'clock on the afternoon of the battle for purse of $1,000 and a side wager for the same amount. White is the champion l lightwei9ht of England and is clever man. Spike fought White before the same club last summer during the coro- nation bouts and suffered defeat after a hot contest lasting fifteen rounds Since that time Spike has tried hard to get White to box him again and that is one of the reasons why he has re- mained so long abroad. Sullivan. in letter to his brother Dave, writes that he is in the best of trim and that he hopes to knock White put this time. Reliance to wear Skirts,
