ind both Jack Munroe and Jim JEFF
ries en- route to San Francisco, where
they are to battle for the worlds
heavyweight championship on May 20.
Munroe, accompanied by his trainer,
left town Saturday for the coast, but
Il is expected that he will stop off at
two or three of the large cities SO as
to pick up a little training money in
giving sparring exhibitions. He has
planned to arrive in Frisco about the
last week in April, so that he viii have
about five weeks for actual training. In
the meantime. however, the miner will
do light training while on the road, so
that he will be prepared for the harder
exercise when the time arrives, JEFF
fries will start west Wednesday. With
the champion viii be his manager, Bill
ly Delaney; Joseph Egan, business
representative, and Joe Kennedy, who
viii act as sparring partner.
Jeffries is in no hurry to get into his
training camp. Heretofore the cham
pion has trained hard for six or seven
weeks prior to a battle. This. De-
laney has concluded, is too much of
a strain. as he says it does more harm
to fighter than good when he over
does it.
The champion has fully two months
to get into shape, and he will stop off
at Chicago and St. Louis to give box
ing exhibitions. When Jeffries reaches
the coast he will plunge into active
training and although he is confident
mean to take any chances in regard to
his condition.

1t may seem, without undue crowding,
though there was at times a little
family trou bles-seven brothers of the

fortune. Sam McElroy, Sam Decker,

Aus. Mcbride and Webb Bertram were
the seven legal luminaries who made
Oberlin famous for having the strong

talented gentlemen there was always
something doing. They were called in
to every important case in northwest
Kansas. There was eloquence and to
spare among them and incidentally
Oberlfn received the benefits. But of
the seven only one, the last one named,
remains.

DECISION TO CORBErT.
Tommy BTowatt Did Well After Get
ting Over His Scare.


Chicago, April 4-Young Corbett was
given the decision over Tommy Mowatt,
the fighting street car conductor" after
six rounds Of fast fighting at the Wa
verify Athletic club Saturday night.
Determined if possible to win by a
knockout, Corbett started after Mowatt
as soon as they shaped up for the first
round, and in every possible way en-
deavored to bring the contest to a
speedy end. Mowatt appeared timid at
first and Corbett had things all his own
way during the first three minutes, but
from that time on the Chicago boy stood
his ground and snapped punches with
the former champion. Although the lat
ter invariably had the better of each
rally. still MOwatt reached Corbett with
powerful right swings to both the body
and Jaw.
Corbett was the stronger of the two,
however, and Mowatt was compelled to
break ground in nearly every rally.
Corbett had the better of every round
except the third. In that round Mowatt
reached Cor5ett with numerous left and
right uppercuts and the Denverite wore
q serious look as he went to his corner.
During the next three rounds, however,
Corbett steadily gained the upperhand
and undoubtedly would have finished
his opponent had the contest continued
much longer.
The winner was challenged by Neary
of Milwaukee, Kid Goodman of Boston
and Abe Atteu of San Francisco.
