The Genius of the Workshop

The retirement of an old mechanic was marked the
other day by a complimentary dinner at the Waldorf
Astoria and the rendering of loving cup.
Had this man been a statesman, rich banker, a
great prince of commerce. there would have been nothing
to excite remark in the honors paid him.
But the world is growing better
Men learning to distinguish sometimes between the
highly polished gliding and the true gold.
To this old mechanic is due perhaps than to any
other the marvellous development of the typewriter
from unred experiment to the necessity it has be-
in the worlds work.
Through his genius and abors the activity an dc1eriy

to dissipation, as It was with Young
Corbett. In some of the others 1t
was loss Of confidence or loss of am
bition. A fighter works better when
he is fighting with confidence than
when he is fighting with despera-
tion. 1t is like climbing a hill. AS
long as a man keeps his feet he goes
up with a rush. AS soon as he be-
gins to slip and struggle to catch
his footing he loses the stride.
Young Corbett may work his way
up again. but If he does he will fur
nish a novelty in matters Of the ring.
Long. hard training might do the
trick. He Is young. But while he
is working his way up again, other
fighters. still undefeated, will be
working up. too. When he arrives
near his goal they will be waiting
for him ready to oppose his renewed
strength and skill with strength and
skill that have never been dulled
by dissipation. They will have the
confidence, and he will have the
memory Of defeat to handicap him.

SENATORIAL FIGHT
IN California

Sacramento, Cal, Dec. 31.-The
session Of the state legislature which
convenes next Monday will be called
upon to choose a successor to United
States Senator Thomas H. Bard.
whose term Of Office expires with the
close Of the present congress. The
senatorial situation is very much
told with any degree of certainty.
Senator Bard is candidate for re-
election and his principal opponent at
the present time appears to be
Frank P. Flint Of Los Angeles, who
is supported by the so-called ''or-
ganization" forces Of the southern
part Of the state. Bard is supported
by his personal following. which is
composed principally Of anti-machine
workers. If Flint can command the
united support Of the southern Cali
fornia legislators his chances Of elec-
tion are excellent, while, on the other
hand, If Bard should win in caucus,
he would still have to overcome the
opposition Of the northern "organiza-
ton forces. George knight, the only
northern aspirant, is still pushing
his candidacy, basing his hope on
the calculation that if the south fails
to unite on Flint, the support of the
machine would come to him in pref
erence to Bard. Henry T. Oxnard,
the beet sugar magnate, remains in
the running and if the opportunity
offers he will be trotted out as a
dark horse. U. s. Grant, Jr., of San
Diego, Is also receiving some men,
ton, but his chances of capturing
the toga are regarded as exceedingly
remote.

World Of Sport

The betting was to 1 in Corbetts
favor
His crushing defeat in 10 rounds
came as a paralyzing surprise to all
of Young Corbett's" friends, and to
Corbett himself. In six rounds BAT
thing" Nelson beat him down, stopped
his rushes, had the little fighter, who
never before had acknowledged a SUI
perior. clinching and holding to save
himself. Four rounds more Cor
belts grit alone kept him on his feet.
through a terrific grueling, and then
the sponge was thrown into the ring,
and the defeated youngster, who had
so lately been a terror among the
other fighters in his class, was car
ried limp and helpless to his corner.
Courage is the one thing that sur
wives dissipation. That is the reason
that Young Corbett was not whipped
sooner. His endurance, his strength
and quickness disappeared in the
first six rounds. 1t must have come
to him with crushing force there in
fool. One year of hard drinking
and furious dissipation succeeding
his defeat by Britt had turned his
muscles to putty and his nerves, to
streaks of rust instead of live, wires.
But now the question is whether
or not Young Corbett can come back?
He has his youth--that is all that is
left him to work on. He says that
he will try.
There is just a chance; but, judy
ing from the experience of other de-
feated champions Of the ring, 1t is a
bare one. Terry McGovern, who did
not take to dissipation after being
whipped by Corbett, has done some
good fighting since that time, and
now seems to be almost in his old
form. But he has not yet a chance
to try again with a champion to. tell
whether or not he is really the Terry
Of old. George Dixon, who was
whipped out of his championship by
Terry. never recovered even a flash
of his old form. But he was old.
He went on fighting. A few weeks
ago, in England, he lost bout to a
youngster who had never been heard
Of before, and 1t was in a third rate
preliminary scrap at that.
Kid Lavigne, one Of the greatest
little champions that lived, went rap
idly to pieces after losing to Frank
Erne. He never came back. Frank
Erne himself. clever as he was, didn't
recover after his defeat by Cans.
Britt beat him and then he dropped
from sight among the fighters. Harry
Forbes lost to Neil. Where is Forbes
now?
The big men turn out the same
way. John l.. Sullivan fell from his
pinnacle in one swoop when he lost
to Jim Corbett. Corbett was whipped
by Fitz, and never fought another
winning fight In the heavyweight
class. Fitz was beaten by Jeffries.
He fell back to the light heavyweight
title, but his next fight with the big
fellow showed him further from
heavyweight championship form.
In many Of the instances the re-
sulting decline of the fighter was due

Now that the furry of excitement
| over the whipping Of Young Cor
bett" is past, sporting men are dis
cussing the future chances of the
little Denverite. says the Oregon
Journal. When Young Corbett beat
| Terry McGovern in such magnificent
style three years ago in Hartford,
followers Of the game were satisfied
that a youngster had appeared on
the scene who would last When he
! repeated his victory over the hither-
to invincible Terry in San Francisco
the opinion seemed verified.
of John L. Sullivan. He had the ideal
| fighting build. and nervous force
enough to carry heavyweight
through his battles. His legs were
good and from the waist up he was
more a welterweight in build than a
lightweight. He had sturdy fore
arms, and his fists were chunky and
round and heavy-perfect machines
for delivering the knockout blow. He
had no end Of courage and conf
dence He was not a clever boxer,
but there was no doubt that as a
ring general he was the equal, If not
the superior, Of all the little fighters
in his class. For two years he went
through the ranks of feather and
light weights like q bull in a china
shop.
Yet in spite Of all his natural
fighting qualifications. Corbett drop
ped as suddenly as he had risen The
vincible came n year ago, when
Jimmy Britt. then little known in
the east, outfought him in 20 rounds.
Eastern sporting men who had seen
Corbett would not believe that he
had been whipped fairly. They
thought that the referee had won the
fight for Britt, and predicted that
when Britt and Corbett met again
there would be a sudden reversal of
form.
In that fight Britt won through
boxing cleverness as we'll as fight
ing aggressiveness. Young Corbett
was there" all the way through the
fight. but he was outpointed In spite
OF his constant rushing. He finished
little weary. but fit to fight 10
rounds more If he had been called
upon to do so.

not as yet done anything to show
