CORBETT RULES
STRONG CHOICE
From Small Wagers Made He
Will Probably Be a Six to
Ten FayOrite Over Britt
DENVER BOY CONFIDENT
Offers TO Bet the Californian
Will Not Respond to Bell
in the Thirteenth Round

The Young Corbett-Sullivan fight
has had magical effect on the Cor
bett-B Britt engagement, which is set
for the 25th of thiA month. 1t seemed
the principal topic of conversation in
the Pavilion on Monday night and
gained appreciably in volume yester-
day.
Corbett stock was booming and
there was some wagering which made
him a to 10 choice over Britt. These
seem false odds. but there are many
good judges of prices who think the
bulk of the wagering Will be at these
figures.
These figures are surprising in view
Of the fact that in all his fights Britt
has been favorite. II is interesting to
hear the arguments as to why Cor
bett will be so pronounced a favorite
over the Californian. At Corbett's
quarters many reasons are advanced.
Corbett has had more ring experience,
having engaged in siXty-seVen battles
to Britt's seven important ones. He
is to fight at a natural weight while
Britt must of necessity have some diff
ffculty in cutting three pounds off his
normal fighting weight and still enter
the ring strong. Corbett was conf
dent he could defeat Sullivan and
fought in that spirit. He has the same
feeling in regard to Britt.
As an evidence of this he offered to
bet $1,000 against $4,000 yesterday that
Britt will not respond to the bell in
the thirteenth round
Corbett's fighting on Monday night
was a revelation to those who have
seen him in other battles. He seemed
to change his style completely, show
ing what a master he is of the art of
fighting. From the hurricane finish
he put up in the eleventh round it
hardest to stop Sullivan up to that
period.
Corbett processes to have no fear of
Britt's left-hand punch to the body,
with which he has beaten down so
many of his opponents. He also SCOTS
at Britt having a terrible right. basing
his ideas on the early stages of Britt's
fight with Canole.
If Corbett is confident, Britt is equal
ly so. He says if Corbett thinks he
will stand up like Sullivan and take a
beating he Will be greatly surprised.
Britt fayors a clean break in their
fight, although he feels he has nothing
TO learn from Corbett at infighting.
Britt settled down at Alameda yes
'terday to commence training for the
fight. His training staff will include
Spider Kelly, Frank Rafael and Sam
Berger He will reduce his weight
Systematically and does not expect to
reach the 1S0-pound notch until the
day Of the fight. He is sure of his
ability to weigh In with all his natural
strength, as he tested his weight last
year when he was training at Lark
spur.

The Centrals took two out of three
games, defeating their opponents by
124 pins in tie series. 1t should really
have been three of a kind for the
Centrals, as they only lost the odd
game by four pins. The boys were so

The odd game, however, was a con-
