CORBETT WON'T FIGHT
CHAMPION JOE CANS
He Says Colored Man Can Go
Back for Two Years and Then
Beat Them All.

SAN FRANCISCO. March Sit seems
evident that Young Corbett has no desire at
present. to go on; of his class and jump
into the camp Of the lightweights.
Asked who he expected TO nominate after
Britt he said:
That's looking quite way ahead. But
1 will fight any 196-pound man they bring
along"
"Corbett could fight at l2l pounds" cut
in Harry Tuthill, who watches his weight
like a fox. That's what he could. Really.
Corbett is not heavy a man many
think he is He can make l26 pounds like
rolling of a log"
Then you never aspire TO be the light
weight champion and fight Joe Gansg'
Fight Gans.'' blurted Corbett. Fight
Cans! i should say not. There is one man
take my hat of 10. That coon is one
grand fighter. and don't want anything TO
do with him. They have been telling me
that Cans has gone back. Wei. all have
got to say Is that Cans can go back for two.
years and then beat any lightweight i'm tbs
world in less than ten rounds. No person
has greater admiration for Gans's ability
than l have. No, sir no Cans for my
platei"

GRAND RAPIDS OWNER
HAS NO DOWNTOWN PARK
1t Is Said that Magnate Collins
Has Done Little for Central
League.
TO DEPOSIT GUARANTEE

Special 20 the indianapolis Journal
TERRE HAUTE. Ind, March 5.-Wheth-
er or not A. II. Collins is really getting
ready to put Il Central League baseball club
in Grand Rapids will be made known at the
league meeting to be held in South Bend
Monday, and on which occasion President
Bement has notified holders of franchises
10 be ready 10 deposit the $500 guarantee
money. 1t seems that Collins is Fort
Wayne man who visits Grand Rapids fire.
quently in a business way. He is Endorsed
by President Mautnor. of the Fort Wayne
club, and by President Halderman, OF
Marion, and President Bement, of the
league says he still has faith in him. The
doubt has arisen because one Grand Rap
ids newspaper says he has done nothing to
get a downtown park. which is admittedly
an essential to successful baseball in Grand
Rapids. The same newspaper says he does
not in fact own the franchise: that it is
held by Halderman and perhaps Bement.
On the other hand Grand Rapids news
papers say there is an Interior motive in
the attack on Collins.
II was reported this week that President
Bement would visit Grand Rapids before
the time of the South Bend meeting and
learn just how matters stand there. Mr..
Bement said he had written to Collins sew
eral times but failed to get answers.
