YOUNG c0noETT's DECISION.

Young Corbett and his manager, Har-
ry Pollok, have split out, and the for
mer has repudiated his agreement with
Jimmy Britt not to fight any one until
they meet in the ring again next De-
cember. Corbett gives as his excuse
that he is after the money and cannot
afford to be idle until the time he is
scheduled to fight Britt. Speaking in
extenuation of his action the other day.
he said:
II know Pollok made that agreement
for me with Britt, but it would be fool
ish of me to be idle the rest of the year
when 1 can go out and get the money,
and if am beaten then Britt can fight
the winner. That's all there is to It,.
Corbett's declaration Of war was no

sensation to his intimate friends, who
know his financial condition. They say
Corbett is forced to break his agree
ment with Britt because he needs the
money, and there is no other way OF
getting it. Being an ex-champion. he
is no longer an attraction on the vaude-
Vile STAGE and he must don the mitts
again if he hopes to pay his bills, which
he has always done. 1t can be said in
his favor that he has taken the best OF
care of himself since his defeat.
Britt's victory had a SOLDERING tend
ency, which is not always the case with
defeated champions, who often go to
pieces when once their victorious ca
reer receives a setback. Corbett has
held his head and is confidently looking
ahead to the time when he will do
something no other fighter ever did,
and that is to win back championship.

The truth of the matter is that Neil

The state university, with Mcgowan

Jeff NAV Now Sleep soundIy.

At any rate, Jeffries has had all the
satisfaction mortal man could possibly
desire. The yarns circulated to the eff
feet that Munroe had worsted him in
the now historic four round exhibition
go in Butte ranked in his breast. The
statements Munroe made that he had
knocked the champion down caused
Jeffries to grit his teeth and struggle
to suppress his rage. At last. however,
the moment arrived when Jeffries faced
his self lauded rival in the ring and
