Denver Lad Gets Decision, but
Is Forced to Fight
for lt.

CHICAGO, April 2.-Young Corbett
was given the decision over Tommy
Mowatt, the fighting street car con-
ductor, after six rounds of fast fight
Ing at the Waverly Athletic club to-
night. Determined to win by a knock
out If possible, Corbett started after
MoWatt as soon as they shaped up for
the first round and endeavored in every
possible way to bring the contest to
speedy end. Mowatt appeared timid
at first and Corbett had things all his
own way during the first three minutes,
but from that time on the Chicago man
stood his ground and snapped punches
with the former champion. Although
the latter invariably had the better Of
each rally, still MoWatt reached Cor
bett with powerful right swings to
both the body and jaw. Corbett 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 excep-
ton of the third. In that period Mo-
watt reached Corbett's jaw with nu-
merous left and right uppercuts and the
DenVerite wore q serious look as he
went to his corner. During the next
three rounds, however, Corbett steadily
gained the upper hand and undoubtedly
would have finished his opponent had
the contest been much longer.
The winner was challenged by Char
ley Neary, of Milwaukee; Kid Good
man, Of Boston, and Abe Attell, OF San
