Against COrbeu Again,
Manager Jack McGinnis OF the local
athletic club has received a letter from
Manager Livingston Of Chicago Jack
DAILY. asking for a match with some
good welterweght here. Livingston
said that DAILY would be willing 20 take
on George gibbs McGiunis Immediate
ly laid the PROPOSE lion before inc COZ
ored fighter and the latter expressed
willingness 10 take on the chicago
boxer. Gibbs wants IT stipulated, now
ever that DAILY must make li2 pounds
on the afternoon of the contest, but II
is extremely doubtful If DAILY could
make that weight The welterweight
limit goes to las pounds, and Day
says he can easily get inside that marx
II Gibbs will not accommodate Daly, II
is very likely that Jerry Mccarthy
could be induced to take him on There
IS not much chance OF return contest
between Mccarthy and Gibbs as there
is some doubt as TO the wisdom OF
matching the two again. Daly Is re-
garded as a good man as he has
splendid record behind him. He Is very
anxious TO show here and as Gibbs
would like to show local fight fans that
he is capable Of doing much better than
he did against the Walkeryille lad, ne
may give a pound or two to Daly ana
take a chance against him. 1t Is believed
that the match would prove big draw
ing card and atone, to some extent Tor
the fiasco Of Monday night.
Hardly day passes that Benny Yam
ger is not matched with someone, AS
matchmaker Manager John Hertz de-
serves the first prize, but II Is different
when IL comes to fighting. Benny gem
orally makes about four matches for
every battle he fights in the ring. Just
at the present time he is matched Ton
paper with every fcatherweight in the
business.
1t is also very amusing TO read the
accounts in the eastern papers about
Yanger's fight with Corbert IN Denver
when he received a draw" In that bat
tie Corbett had Yanger on the floor nine
times timing the count. Had the Denver
hoy received a fair count Yanger would
have been knocked out IN the third and
fourth rounds. He was down Is seconds
count saved him,
Just let Yanger and Corbett meet un-
der the same conditions that McGoy-
ern and Corbett fought under and there
will be nothing to It but the Denverite
Just remember this tip.
Joe Bernstein Is quoted as follows
on Corbett's victory over McGovern:
I must say that was greatly surpris-
ed In the result OF the McGovern-Y Young
Corbett fight felt so sure that Terry
would win that bet a lot Of money on
him. I formed my opinion by fighting
both men, and | don't see how | could
have been wrong. When / fought Nc
Govern recently he put me out with
terrible punches In the stomach. Never
In my life have been hit as he hit me.
| don't know anyone who has as strong
a development OF abdominal muscles
as / have, and McGovern is the only
man who could send In the punches
there so that | felt them. ! want to
tell you that every time he drove his
fists into my body they felt as If they
were going all the way through. didn't
see how anybody in the world could
take the punishment that McGoyern is
able to give.
When fought Young Corbett in Bal
timore recently I had all the best of
him for seven rounds. | had split his
lip and cut open each eye, and every
body who saw the bout agreed that I
had away the best Of IT, Corbett did not
put mark on my face, and the few
punches he got home to my body did
not do me a bit Of harm. And he
weighed li0 pounds TO my l2S. At the
end Of the seventh round ! swung my
left on his head and tore away some
ligaments at my wrist. so that my left
arm was absolutely useless, and was
compelled to stop, But for that | know
that must have got the decision over
Young Corbett. / can't figure out yet
how he beat McGoyern. | want TO fight
Young Corbett and | am willing to bet
that l can beat him.
