Admirers of the plucky welterweight
are anxious that he should be shown
the appreciation of those who have
watched him in some Of the hardest
fought battles ever pulled of in the
Savannah arena. No one was ever
able to say that Corcoran was not on
the square, and when he stepped into
the ring he always gave his opponent
the best he had in his shop.
The card which il is the intention
OF the management to put on Will be
made up Of four or FIVE frst-class
bouts OF from four to six rounds each.
It is believed all lovers of real hon
