FEW SCARS Of BATTLE FOUND
ON CHAMPION YOUNG CORBETT
King of the Featherwelghts
Carries but Few Marks of
His Many Fights = Names
McGovern as the Man Who
Gave Him the Hardest Fight
and the Hardest Blow.

SAN FRANCISCO, Ca, Jan. 3d.
Young Corbett carries fewer scars. per-
haps, than about any fighter you can
think of. Even some of the so-called
fast, clever boxers present an OCCASION
al "caulifiower" ear, or a broken nose,
or an enlarged finger joint. Young
Corbett has none Of these marks of
battles His face is as smooth as a
seminary girls, and there Is not pim-
pie on his hands. Just to look at him.
he Is the last man in the world one
would pick out for a worlds champion,
who had fought his way up the ladder
by giving and taking singing wallops.
81 don't know whether 1 have been
lucky or not, but my hands are as
sound as when 1 started fighting" the
little champion remarked. when you
consider that 1 hit from almost any po-
sition and am not particular whether
I land on a fellows body or his bony
head, guess 1 must have been a little
lucky to come through the way 1 have.
OF course, l wear bandages on my
hands, but they are no thicker or
heavier than the average fighter wears.
The splendid condition Of my hands
may be due to the fact that don't do
q great deal of swinging. Uusually 1
hit straight out, and when a fighter
does this there is less danger of Grip
pling yourself; but there are some
straight punchers whose hands are bad.
Take Fitzsimmons, for example. He is
not what you could call a swinging
fighter, yet see what trouble he has
with his weapons"
Whom do you consider the best man
you ever fought?" the little champion
was asked.
Silence ensued. Corbett was In deep
thought. Finally he said:
IT believe that McGovern was the
best man I ever fought. He was the
best in this way: He was the most
dangerous man I ever fought. If given
an opportunity he would drop you with
either hand. He had a terrible punch.
When I fought him 1 had to keep my
mind on my work every second. re-
