Young Corbett. who is matched to
 fight Battling Nelson at San Francisco
 next month, has arrived in that city.
 The Denver man is looking well The
 first thing he did after reaching the
 Pacific coast was to ask change of
 date of the mill with Nelson from Oc- kober % to November 30. The request was granted and Corbett will have five weeks of solid work in order to get into excellent trim. Corbett denied |fhat he said that the mill between |Jfmmy Britt and Joe Cans at San Francisco next Monday night would |be fake. q look for it to be a |grand battle" said Corbett, "and l would not care to pick a winner. On form Cans ought to win, but form in fighting, as we'll as in racing, does not |always count.'' Corbett is located at 'Sheehan's tavern, just outside of San Francisco, and will do his work there for the combat.

WILL BowKER COME?

An effort is being made to bring Jem Bowker, the new worlds bantam champion, to this country. There are score of capable bantams who are ready to meet Bowker, but the chances are that if he really comes here he will only select the best men in his class to fight him. J. G. Message, matchmaker of the Blue Island Athlet- sc association of Blue Island, III. has cabled an offer of $2,50O to Bowker to meet Harry Forbes. the ex-American bantam premier The club wants the EngIishman to fight Forbes 10 rounds some time in January. The club IS also prepared to give liberal expenses if Bowker undertakes the trip. While fhis is a fair sum for 10-round bout, the impression prevails that Bowkex can earn five times that sum by meet Ing one of the best lads in his class at San Francisco in a 20-round bout. It is a long time since England has turned out a champion, and naturally the followers of the game in this coun- frv are anxious to see what the for leigner looks like and how well he can fight. Charley Mitchell thinks that if Bowker does come he will not come later than January of next year.

DOWIE AS A FOOT
 BALL REFORMER

Much idle fun has been poked at the game of football, as expurgated and authorized by Prophet Elijah Dowie, for the use of his godly youth at Zion City. As matter of fact, and of fairness to a bold and original or ganizer, who has set himself up as 8 concentrated football rules committee of one, Head Coach Dowie ought to be taken seriously in this revolutionary step. Without a scrap of tradition to bother him, he sweeps aside all rules and conventions and decrees that there shall be no tackling or holding in the Zion City game. This means that his resourcefuI young men will develop a game with lots of passing. running and kicking, such as make English associa- ton football so spectacular Rough play will be so sternly dealt with that the offender will wish he had never seen football. This is precisely what the college game has needed, To, these thirty years. The scrimmage will be freed of it's brutal and hammering force and more open play fostered ev- erywhere on the field In short, Dr Dowie would be a valuable influence and wholesome irritant in the coun, cils of the intercollegiate committee Outing.

RYAN BEATs EAsY MARK.

Tommy Ryan of Syracuse continues to pick up money by defeating easy marks. His latest exploit in the ring was at Detroit on "Wednesday night, when he met Tommy Wallace of Phil- gadelphia in what was to have been a 6-round bout. Whatever pretensions Wallace may have had to beng pu- 9gilist were quickly dispelled after the first minute of the fight. Ryan got to his man without the slightest trouble, but refrained from punching his rival too hard until the fourth round. Then Ryan cut loose and swung the right on the jaw. Wallace went down with bang. but got up in time to get to his chair before time was called In the fifth Ryan decided to end matters. and succeeded. There was brief mix-up, and as soon as they broke Ryan put his right to the body and Wallace dropped. When he arose Ryan swung the left into the wind and Wallace went to the boards and was counted out.

If Russians Are Driven Back From Position on ShaI<he River Fight ing Will Be Close to Mulx-

ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 2S. "A Mukden dispatch says that fighting has begun again southeast of Mukden.
 The Japanese advanced to the village of Jerdagan, which tAey are reported 5 to have captured after a fight lasting all night.
 There was an artillery fight on the night of Oct. 26 on the north shore of the Shakhe river directly south of Mukden. The cannonading, which was heavy, is being continued. The Rus sians are attacking If unsuccessful they will fight right up to the walls ot Mukden.
 Two imperial rescripts are published in the St. Petersburg Official Messen. ger, the first of which is covered by Viceroy ,Alexeieffs order of the day, announcing the appointment of Gen eral Kuropatkin to the chief command of the Russian forces in the east The second is addressed by the czar to General Kuropatkin as commander in chief of all the military and naval forces at the scene of war It con cludes with these words: "Your mili- tary experience, strengthened by your action in Manchuria, makes me feel confident that you will break the ob- stinacy of the enemy's forces at the head of your glorious army and will thereby assure to Russia peace in the far east.''
 A Mukden dispatch says there was a reconnaissance in force during the night by the Russian western flank. and desultory fire continued until 2 o'clock a. m. The Japanese were dis covered to be hurriedly fortifying along the whole line, but this does not, of course, preclude the possibility of an attack bytthem. Itis the general opin- ion here that serious events will not develop for some days, but judging by the hurried manner in which the Chi nese are settling their money affairs in Mukden they are of different opinion.
