BETS
MUST BE PAID
This is the Decision Made by
Referees Graney.
SAYS HANL0R WAS HELPLESS
CoRBETT COULD HAVE EASIL Y
PUT HIM OUT.

San Francisco, Jan. 9.-Many bete
were decided on the last Hanlon-Cor-
BeJt fight, but there are a few yet to
be paid. The papers here have been
besieged with letters asking them to de-
eide bets on the knockout question.
They read. a bets p that Corbett
knocks out Hanlon. Who wins?" That
bad very much, aud Referee Graney
stopped the go. OF course, on Han
Ions record ne viii claim that he has
never been knocked out. and he has
not. II was a humane act on the part
Of Corbett to refuse to hit the local
boy when he was so far gone but
there Is no question at all about his
being able TO knock Eddie out. The
champion was strong and full of fight
az the time the go was stopped and
he might have killed Hanlon had they
allowed the bout to go on. 1t was
strange thing to see Hanlon In such
distress. Never before in a fight has
Eddie ever staggered, and his seconds
could not believe he was done. His
friends could not see il. either. He
was, though, He didn't know a thing
and was absolutely harmless. There
was no fight in him. he was practi-
caliy out. and COrbett's people knew
what would happen should the bout
continue.
Eddie Graney was seen regarding the
query and hesitated, a few moments
before giving his answer, which viii
decide all bets. strictly speaking"
said Graney, 'HanlOn was not knocked
out. Of course. when a man bets that
another viii be knocked out he bets
fhuf no will a I-c - I
stay there unable TO rise. That IS the
strictest 1ine you can get on. A should
win the bet. however. as Hanlon could
not continue the fight. When B made
the bet he argued that Hanl0n would
not be so far gone as to throw up the
sponge. He was, however, and that
man loses his money. He can stand
out and refuse to pay. however but
by rights he loses. In the Corbett-
Jeffries fight there was no knockout,
as the sponge was thrown up in the
tenth round, just as the timekeeper
called seven. It saved Corbett, but
ne never would have regained his feet.
We claim it a knockout, just the same.
frankie Neil put Forbes down in the
second and the latter got on his feet
a fraction after ten was called He
was almost at the count, but was called
out. That is also considered a knock
out Terry McGovern's knee left the
floor Just as the timekeeper yelled
ten, but Terry was out He was a
bit too slow, although he was waiting
for the tenth second. His head was
clear. but then ne did not come around
and we considered him knocked out
Yes, the man that bets Hanlon would
be Knocked out wins. These bets will
al be paid If my decision in the mat

interesting history. Last summer all
OF the clubs in the league were ordered

Helena raised this money and put il
in the bank. but the other clubs did
not meet the ante Matters drifted

The officials Of the Helena club ac-
cCrdingly notified the bank at Tacoma

an effort TO draw this money out. but
the bank refused TO part with It. Pres
iGent Lucas has signed a release for
any claim the league may have on this
