San Francisco, Feb. 23.-tYoung Cor
bett" is five pounds above weight for
his fight with Dave Sullivan, and is
beginning to find it difficult to take out
the necessary fat.
Young CCfbett'' has moved out to
Sheehans roadside house, near the

fight with Dave Sullivan, which takes
place on the evening of February 20.
The conditions are that both little
fighters are to weigh in at o'clock on
the night of the fight at 100 pounds.
At the present time Young Corbett"
weighs about 1876 pounds, but this does
not bother him, as he feels that he will
make the weight with ease. He has in

hill as trainer and Billy Otis as spar

GETS A SALARY OF $4,000.
Joe Corbett Will Do Well This Season
Pitching Ball.

San Francisco, Feb. 23.-While many
of the star players of the major league
appear to be suffering severely from a
peculiar malady that has affected their
salary, one man seems not only to be
immune, but prospers.
The man who has defied the rigor of
the salary reduction is Smiling joe
Corbett, of the Cardinals, who will draw
$4,000 for the season Of 1904.
Instead of complaining of severe pains
in the region where ball players usually
carry their contract, Corbett is all smiles
when the salary question is mentioned.
And the reason is apparent. Last
year Joe drew in the neighborhood of
$1,000 for pitching in the Coast league.
This year Joe has prospered in accord
ance with his advancement. 1t is said,
on good authority, that his salary next
season will equal that of a cabinet
officer.
Joe, while not as we'll paid as was
Donovan last year, is the highest salar-
led man on the team. The brother of
the famous Jim Corbett is drawing
900 a year more than his manager
for it is claimed that Nichols contract
calls for just $1,000 for the season OF
1904

thought he would have to arrest some
of the parents to make examples Of
them before he could get them to I'M

The vaccination trouble in Lenape

large number of pupils in this district
remain out of school because they can
not attend unless they are vaccinated.
But the truancy law says they must,
and does not take the vaccination
clause into consideration. Superintend-
ent Gilman has referred the matter to
Superintendent Dayhoff for a decision.
