YOUNG CORBEIT'S PLANS
AbandOns Proposed AutOmO-
bile Tour and Will Com
mence Training on Monday

With Jimmy Britt nowadays it is
work, work, work. Although the clever
boxer was in excellent trim when he
settled down to his training at Cron's
Gardens in Alameda five days ago, he
is not permitting any grass to grow be-
meath his heels or adipose upon his
Adonis form. When Britt is not on
the road he is in the room with the
punching bag or on the canvas with
his sparring partners, Fred Landers
and Frank Rafael His other time is
taken up With sleeping and eating.
Jimmy is an early bird and soon after
the clock strikes six he can be OBJ
served sprinting around the blocks in
the neighborhood Of his training camp.
This is done before breakfast.
Britt went on the road yesterday
morning for his usual jaunt Of ten
miles. After reaching his quarters
he was subjected the rundown. In the
afternoon he donned the gloves with
Landers and Rafael and set out a
fast pace for his opponents. Fast
work does not apear to make any diff
ference to Jimmy even at this early
stage of his training, and this is en-
cOuraging to his admirers. Tomorrow
Jimmy expects crowd of Olympic
Club members and others over to visit
him and If all is we'll they will prob
ably be afforded an opportunity TO
watch him work out in the gymna-
sium.
Young Corbett has abandoned his
proposed automobile tour and will re-
sumo his training work tomorrow.

Or the planets in the sky.
And her tresses romping blindly
Down her rosy cheeks so kindly
Darker than the darkest shadows
When the night clouds scamper BY
You may tramp from Cork and Kerry,
All the way to Down and Derry.
And from Dublin on the Liney
On the Galway to the sea,
Eut you'll never see creature,
More bewitching, boys, or neater,
Than the buxom, laughing colleen
Who was christened Peg Magee.
Her coy lips carved for kisses,
For caresses and for blisses.
Have a glory that is crimson
In their fond and luscious hue,
While on her cheek simple
Captivating little dimple
Looks like a roguish Cupid
That would thrill you through and
through,
You may tramp from Cork and Kerry,
All the way to Down and Derry,
And from Dublin on the Liffey
On ii Galway to the sea,
But you'll never see neater,
More bewitching little creature
Than the buxom laughing colleen
Who was christened Peg Magee.

In cashmere and brocade.
