THE PUGILlSTS. GOOD CHANGE
 FOR TERRY
.Jabez White Will Fight Him Here or in England
 Young Corhett Of for Eu- experimenting Notes.

An international bout between Terry McGovern and Jabez White may be ar ranged in the near future. Whi.e, who is the English lightweight champion, has sent Eugene Stratton to this coun- try to arrange the match. Stratton is q well known English minstrel and brother-fn-law of Charley Mitchell Stratton says that White wanted at first to meet Jimmy Britt or Young Gorbett, but not hearing from these two, although he had challenged them repeatedly, he concluded to take on Terry,
 White is ready to fight AIeGovern in America or England,' said Stratton, ..but naturally prefers to have the go decided abroad if possible. He has au- thorized me to make the match for him at 130 pounds at the ringside. He does not want any six-round bouts. A long light is what he is after and if the mill is to take ace in this coun- try San Francisco will do, White is satisfied to meet McGovern in Ameri- ca during the summer; but ne will not be able to fight him until next fall or winter if the contest is to take place in England, as the season across the water closes shortly"

YOUNG CoRBETT sAILs.

Accompanied by his managers, Young Corbett sailed for England on the St Paul Saturday morning. This is Corbett's first trip abroad, and he was naturally a trifie nervous. Although the hour when the ship sailed was q bit too early for the sports, there were at least twenty of them present when the big liner pulled out. Among those at the dock were George Considine, Ted Marks Tom Miner. Al Smith, Louis Williams, Eddie Bull, Billy El- mer, Kid Mccoy. Tommy Shortell, Benny Levy. Morris Rose. Eddie Burke, the bookmaker. and Joe Ven- dig. Corbett took with him several letters of introduction to prominent sporting and business men. Two of them were from Ted Marks to A. H. Bettinson of the National Sporting club and to the king's caterer. Marks said that it is possible that the latter may fix it so that Corbett may spar few rounds before King Edward. Cor bett said that the trip was merely for pleasure. He added. though, that he might be tempted to fight some one if enough money was to be had. sI'm out for a good time" he said, "and I intend to have it, I am not going to do the trip by halves either. I will take everything in worth while seeing. am not broke and have plenty of money to enjoy myself. I do not in tend to return until the end Of August, or if like 1t I won't be back till Sep tember. Will visit Ireland? You can bet. have few relatives over there whom I want to see.''

DATE FOR BIG FIGHT.

The date for the championship fight between Jim Jeffries and Jack Munroe has again been changed, and this time the promoters of the scrap say the change is final. According to a dis patch from San Francisco, the men are to meet before the Yosemite A. c. on June l7. Originally May 80 was se- leeted. Then the battle was postponed to June l. It is believed that the post ponement suits Jefries as well as .Iun- maker to have more time to train. Jeffries is in fine fettle already, but he has plenty of extra weight to take on. Munroe is at present on his way to the Pacific coast and is expected there within week. Jeffries has already ar rived on the Pacific coast.

DISPUTED DECISION

Of the wrestling match at Lowell Thursday night the Lowell Mall says Tn part: Referee Walsh's honesty in the matter is not questioned by anyone who knows him we'll but the doubt ex- ists in the mind of many as to whether the fall allowed in the second bout was T living or q fair fall. Some claim the former and others the latter. The ref cree decided 1t was 8 fall in Ladue's favor and as his decision is final that goes. protestatiOns to the contrary not Withstanding. Ladue says that he is willing to give Little another chance if the latter thinks he is superior wrestler to the Lowell man.''
 That wrestling is still popular in Canada was shown by the large crowd that attended the catch-as-catch-ca bout for the worlds lightweight cham pionship between George Bothner of New York and Eugene Tremblay of Montreal at Montreal on Friday night. Twelve thousand persons gathered in Sohmer park, Montreal. when the bout began, which was at 10 o'clock. The men wrestled continuously until o'clock Saturday morning, when the referee called a halt and the contest was decided a draw
 The match was the best witnessed ln Montreal in years. Both men were fit, and only when the wrestlers be- came exhausted and were unable to go on did the referee interfere, Bpthner in the first part of the match allowed the Canadian to do the bulk of the work. After that he went on top and kept Tremblay from becoming the ag- gressor. The last hour of the bout was listless. as the wrestlers lacked strength. The contest lasted almost five hours The men were under q severe strain. and their condition alone saved them from injury.
