YOUNG CORBETT AND
MOWATT TONIGHT
Chicago Fighter Expects to
Make Good Showing Against
Denver Lad.

Tommy Mowatt is reported to be in ex-
celient shape for his contest with Young
Corbett at the Waverly Athletic club in
Chicago tonight. The former fighting
conductor realizing that this is one Of
the opportunities of his life to make
great reputation for himself, has spared
no pains to get into the very best of
shape. The weight agreed on by the men,
100 pounds at o'clock, is not worrying
the Chicago man in tAe least. as he
claims that he is nothing but a 1876
FOUNDER.
Mowatt has been working steadily with
Jimmy Gardner, the Lowell lightweight,
who is training for his contest next week
with Buddy Ryan. In addition to the box
ing Mowatt does plenty of road work
every morning and pays considerable at
tention to every point of gymnasium
work.
Young Corbett started work at an en-
CINE house Thursday morning, but it
could hardly be called training as train
ing Is understood by the local fighters.
Corbett feels that he has been doing d
trifle too much lately and Is resting bit.
He does no boxing at all, but is saving
his hands all that he can. He came out
of the Jimmy Britt contest a. week ago
In fair shape, but his knuckleS were sore
. and needed a good rest. His hands are
now in. good shape. every knuck1e being
take chance by doing any boxing. So
he has cut it out entirely on the advice
of Harry Tuthill. the faithful trainer, who
has been watching every move Of the
Denver man
In lieu of the boxing end of 1t Corbett
spent an hour yesterday morning with
the skipping rope and few moments
with the punching bag. Later he did
lot of ''shado,V work" boxing about with
an imaginary opponent until he was in
lather of perspiration. This is all the lit
tie fellow aims to do. He says he was in
such fine shape for the Britt fight that
he needs nothing more than some loosen
ing up work
81 do not know Of any fighter in the
country that has been at 1t more steadily
than l have for the past year or more"
Corbett said. II think / have done lit
tie too much although at the present time
I am in fine shape. The Britt fight did not
hurt me a bit and this cut over my eye
is not going to bother me as it is nicely
healed now and do not think Mowatt is
going to reopen It.
Mind you, I am not figuring that
Mowatt is going to be an easy thing at
all. But 1 am certain of beating him,
with all of his tremendous hitting power
I can hit some myself, you know. / do not
know much about MOWatt but, judging
by his fights with YangeF, he must be a.
pretty tough sort of a chap"

ANDY O'DEA CALLED
BY WISCONSIN, BOARD
Failure of the Badger Football
Season Is Charged
to- Him.
Special to The Globe.

Special to The Globe
MADISON, Wis, April 1.-The board of
directors of the Athletic Association of
the University of Wisconsin has sat down
hard on Crew Coach and Football Trainer
Andy M. O'Dea. The Australian oars
man has been told that he must in the
future refrain from protecting himse
over his superiors.'
The word of the board of directors was
conveyed to the coach by R. M. Bashford,
a Madison attorney, professor in the fac
ulty of the university law school and
member of the board of directors. The
reasons for this action are that the board
came to the conclusion that the crew
coach, who also acts as the trainer of
the candidates for the football team had
usurped the position of assistant coach,
elbowing out of usefulness Assistant
Coach Charles H Mccarthy by gaining
the upperhand in the condolences of Head
Coach Arthur H. Curtis The message of
Prof. BaShford Is said to have been grace
fully taken by the great crew coach. He
draws a salary of $4,000 a year. Prof.
Rashford is reported to have couched his
message to Mr. O'Dea in substantially
these words:
Mr. O'Dea, the board has considered
the disastrous football season Of last fall
and has come to the conclusion that it
will be necessary for you to attend strict
ly to the matters Of trainer and take no
part in the coaching department You are
known to have had more to say In the
coaching than Assistant Coach Mccarthy,
and the failure Of the season has been
laid to your door. We appreciate your
services in your proper place, but must
insist upon your care not to project your
self over those who are paid to coach"

NO MORE RACES ON THE
FAMOUS "KITE" TRACK
Unique Independence Course Will Soon Be
But a Memory.

This summer will probably mark the
passing of. an institution which at one
time held the center of the harness horse
stage. This is the famous kite track at
Independence, Iowa, which. report. says,
will be broken up and used for farm pur-
poses.
The track was built by G. W. Williams
at the time when the performances of
the two great colt trotters, Axtell (2:12)
and Allerton 62:0944) had. placed the for
mer telegraph operator in the front rank
of harness horSemen. Williams built the
track with the intention of making his
home town a great racing center, but In
dependence was not of sufficient size to
make a. meeting of grand circuit caliber
profitable, although some very successful
meetings were held there.
OF late years but little has been heard
of the once famous kite; its founder has
transferred the seat of his breeding and
training operations to other fields, and
indications are that the famous course
which has resounded. to the, footballs of
some of the worlds greatest harness
horses will soon be but a memory.
