out Blow

Chicago. April 2-"YOung Corbett'' received tho
decision over Tommy" Mowatt, the fighting street
car conductor of Chicago. after sir rounds of
fighting at the Waverly Athletic Club tonight
Determined to win by a knockout IL possible
Corbett started after MOwatt at tho beginning OF
the first round and endeavored in every possible
way to bring the contest to a speedy end Mowatt
appeared timid at first, and the Denver man had
things all his own way in the first three minutes
but from that time Mowatt stood his ground
with the former champion.
Although the latter invariably had the better OF
each rally. still Mowatt reached Corbett with pow
errul right swings to both the body and Jaw Cor
bett 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
with the exception OF the third. when MOwatt
reached Corbett's jaw with numerous left and
right uppercuts.
Corbett steadily gained. and undoubtedly would
have finished his opponent had the contest been a
little longer. The winner challenged by
Neary of Milwaukee; KID Goodman, OF Boston,
and Abe Attel. OF San Francisco. In a contest be-
fore the Corbett- Mowatt fight kid Goodman OF
Boston knocked out Joe Gallisan, OF Chicago, in

GROUNDS FOR COLUMBIA FOOTBALL
New American League Park Will Probably
Be Used in Fall.

Spring practice for Columbia's football players
will begin within n few days. and the men
have received instructions from Captain r. s.
stangland TO be on hand for the work. The prac-
tice Is TO get line OF material for next
years eleven than for the actual training. Mild
work in puntn9 and running down South Field on
kicks will be about the only work done.
Where Columbia will play her games this fall IS
still a doubtful question. The Polo Grounds used
for tho last two years. are not strongly favored.
The goal posts are too near the stands the field is
apt to become flooded. and the financial arrange
ments have not been wholly satisfactory to Column
bia managers. The American League Park is be-
ing considered The Greater New-York Baseball
Club has made a proposition to tho football man
agement. and there is little doubt that the eleven
will play there this fall. With the completion OF
the rapid transit system. which should be in full
operation BY September. the park will be readily
accessible.

BERLIN, MD, BADLY scoRcHED.
Three Mills Destroyed - Inadequate
Fire Protection.

A dispatch from Berlin, Md, says: A.
fire which broke out Saturday in the
veneer works of the Berlin Improvement
Co. threatened to destroy the entire town,
and before it was gotten under control
caused loss of 100000. The flames were
famed by a strong west wind and leaped
across the railroad to the big planning mill
of c. ]. Whaley. This structure was
quickly consumed and the destruction of
fourteen dwellings, two churches and
several stables quickly followed.
The town is without a fire apparatus,
and it was several hours before the resi-
dents, who formed bucket brigade, were
able to get the flames under control. The
thick foliage on the numerous shade trees
on the streets and in yards acted as a
blanket and helped to save the business
portion of the town from destruction. The
sparks were scattered a mile from the
fire. Nearly all of the buildings destroyed
had some insurance, estimated at about
third of the loss. There was an eff
fort made two years ago to bond the
town for the purpose of water system
for fighting fire and general use of the
town. This was opposed by a great many
of the citizens, and 1T seems rather a
strange coincidence that nearly all the
dwellings burned were owned by people
who were opposed to this water system
The Pennsylvania railroad tracks were
warped and twisted. Trains are unable to
go south of here. Several gangs of Sec
ton men are at work on the tracks and
TREY hope to have them In shape by mid
night
No one was killed, but several of the
fire fighters We're badly burned.
The three mills which were DESTROYED
gave work to about 300 of Berlin's popu-
lation. and the loss will be keenly felt by
the working people. The veneer works
We're owned by j. ]. McCluskey of New
York
