San Francisco, Cal, April 1.-Young
Corbett had hardly reached his Pull
man Sunday when rumors began to fly
thick and fast that his creditors were
hot on his heels. While training he
made no secret of his gambling opera
tions on races and as it was widely
known that he had been unsuccessful
of late il was surmised that he owed
the native sons punches. 1t is true
that Corbett had creditors plenty after
his battle, but he satisfied one and all
before he said goodbye. His share OF
gate receipts amounted to $4,000, and
after he had squared with Mr.. Shee-
han. where he trained, and with Mr..
BoOkmaker, Mr.. Automobile and Mr..
Trainer. he had $500 to take him to
Chicago. Aside from a few thousand
dollars he has invested in some Den
YER real estate that represents earn
ings of a lifetime, Corbett is not RICH
Notwithstanding certain boxing critics
have estimated his fortune at 5000
He is too big a gambler ever to amass
much wealth and hold it.

to l. The bookmaker was perplexed
for a few moments. Then, abruptly,
he made a tour around the ring and
began taking ever bet in sight at the
prevailing odds of the American. When
he got through he found that he had
invested $1,000 more on Harris and
stood to lose $4,000 if Harris was
whipped and to win $4,000 if he was
victorious. To make a long story
Harris just piled into Palmer and beat
him to a standstill. He knocked Palmer
down, smashed him hard and won with
much to spare.
After the encounter there was much
joy in Harris dressing room and his
hacker cOmplimented him. When the
pair returned to the hotel where Har-
ris was stopping the bookmaker laugh
ingly remarked:
That was an excellent stall you
made, Harry, and it helped me to clean
up $4,000 more than l expected. Here
is a present for you and he handed
Harris $4,000 for himself Really, he
continued I forgot all about what you
and I discussed before the bout. l did
not know what to make of it until L
recalled it. But it gave me scare,
Just the same, and I'd rather that you
refrain from such proceedings the next
time you fight, Harry
Harris was nonplussed at what his
hacker told him. But the proposition
that he made at the training quarters
soon dawned on him, and with a
hearty laugh that resounded through
the room he exclaimed:
I wasn't stalling, Tom. No, not
by a jugful. That was on the level.
You see, l couldn't gauge Palmer's
style, so l had to take some wallops
before l could get back at him. I'm
glad I won and that you landed the
money
The bookmaker would not be con-
WINGED and to this day believes that
Harris was really stalling in that en-
counter"

McGraw Released Two Youngsters
Before Leaving sIngtOwn.
In addition to getting Pitcher Min
nehan from the New York Giants,
Coffee Jackson has also made a deal
by which McGraw has released Out
fielder Leigh Lynch to the Birming-
ham club. These two men promise
TO add great strength to the Barons.
Leigh Lynch is an old Brown col
legian and was noted as a football
and baseball player. He is a power
fully built man, weighing nearly 200
pounds, but is very fast. Although he
did not make good with McGraw, ow-
ing to the speed of Mertes, Browne
and Mccormick he ought to prove a
brilliant performer in the Southern
League.
Pitcher Minnehan is another collie
gian, having gained fame at George
town and Manhattan colleges Nc
Graw released him to Birmingham on
condition that he be returned to the
New York club at the end of the
present season.
The acquisition of these two star
players will cause a considerable shak-
ing up in the line of the Birmingham
club. AS Lynch is a right fielder, he
den and Billie Smith will likely go
to left. 1t has just developed that
Birmingham is going to have some
trouble in holding Alexander as San
Antonio claims him, and Lynch will
go to second. When Jimmy O'Brien
arrives the infeld will then be COM
plete. Henry Lynch, the Californian,
has proven that he is a crack intielder
as well as an outfielder by his work
on third base during the practice
games and he will in all probability
he retained in the infield. Leigh Lynch,
the new man, will play in the outfieid.
Secretary Farrell of the national
board has taken up the Alexander
matter and it looks as if Birmingham
will have a hard job holding him,
though all the necessary papers have
been forwarded to the proper officials.
Birmingham signed him in good faith
and will make a hard fight for his
retention, but in case he has to go
Henry Lynch will go to the keystone
bag.

a train for Darien. where they are
booked for a match to-day against
the strong team representing the club
of that place. The Darien team was
played last Saturday by the Savannah
team and defeated. Such also was the
fate of the Charleston team, which had
a match with the Savannah team i'll
this city two or three weeks ago.
Thus far the Savannah team has
not a single defeat to it's record for
the season. Some very fine players
have been developed on the Savannah
links this season, and it is probable the
team, under the captaincy of Mr.. r. NJ.
Hull, is superior to any in years.
The Savannah team is looking for
ward to return matches with the
teams that have already been played
on the Savannah links, and it is not
improbable that games will also be ar
ranged with teams from other places.
The weather yesterday was admira-
bic for the match. Nothing better in
that respect could have been asked.
Had it not been Good Friday it is
probable there would have been large
attendance of enthusiastic golfers OBJ
serving the play Of the teams.

South Atlantic League team made its
initial appearance here this afternoon

of head, clear in judgment and strong
with the stick. Almost to the man
the members of the team are cleanly

PENSIONS FOR AGE.

senator Mallory Charges That the
New Order Shows Hitchcock
UsurpatiOn of the Legislative Pre-
rOgative-QuestiOna as to "a Veteran
Being Disabled Simply by the
FuIlness of Years-Others in the
Debate.
Washington April Good FRIDAY
was devoted by the Senate to almost
continuous discussion of political cues
lions. The morning hour, ending at
2 o'clock, was given up to the con-
sideration of the Carmack resolution
for an inquiry into the legality Of
the recent executive order relating tn
pensions. Mr.. Mallory was the pril-
cipal speaker, but he was frequently
interrupted by Republican senators.
He commended that Secretary Hitch
cock had transcribed the limits of exc
cutive authority in issuing the order.
Mr.. Mallory said there need not be
any apprehension that the Carmack
resolution was intended to affect the
status of the pensioners, for there
was no such intention or desire on the
part of the Democratic senators. He
contended that the question of liberal
ity to the veterans is not involved in
any respect whatever, but the only
point was whether the executive
branch of the government had not
transcribed it's authority and usurped
legislative functions in establishing the
rule by the new order.
Has Been UsurpatiOn.
He contended that such usurpation
had occurred and agreed that this or
der was not in line with the order
given by Judge Lochren during Mr..
Cleveland's administration. He ac-
knowledged, however that Mr.. Loeb
rem had transcribed the law in fixing
seventy-five years as evidence of total
disability. Mr.. Mallory said that Mr..
Lochren had no authority to fix sew
enty-five years as the age of even
presumptive disability, nor was there
any sanction for the recent order re-
ducing the age to 62 years. The law,
he said, requires due proof" of in>
trinity and consequently either pre-
sumption was entirely unjuStitied.
Mr.. Foraker took exception to Mr..
MaIlory's characterization of the new
ruling as arbitrary, saying that it
fixed 81 years only as an "evidential
fact of disability"
Mr.. Mallory argued that the opera"
ton of the order might work a great
hardship, as the effect would be to
award pensions regardless of tho
length of service or the cause of dis-
ability aside from age.
Like a Service Pension.
Mr.. Mallory entered upon a line of
argument to show that the order of
Secretary Hitchcock is in some re-
spects equivalent to a service pension
law.
Mr.. Spooner interrupted with the
statement that Congress had fixed the
age of 81 years as the age of disabili-
ty in the case of Mexican veterans.
That" he said, was not a service
pension bill"
Mr.. Mallory replied that Congress
had a perfect right to act as in that
case, while an executive official has
not.
Congress acted thent" interrupted
Mr.. Carmack because it did not have
a Secretary of the Interior to legislate
for it. Consequently, Congress had to
act for itself"
Another Daniel come to judgment"
remarked Mr.. SDooner.
Mr.. Mallory had not concluded when
the postoffice bill was taken up.
