OF those who saw the fight there is

wisdom in retiring from the roped
arena. at least so far as the Battling
Dane is concerned
Notwithstanding the reports OF Cor
belts superior condition as compared
with his form when he met Nelson
last November. the last fight was al
most a. repetition of the previous en-
counter between the two.
That Nelson's great performance
made a deep impression on the local
fight fans is undenia bic, and many
of them have now switched around
and believe that the Dane VIII whip
Jimmy Britt if they meet TINS month.
Nelson himself appears TO think
there is no doubt Whatever OF ms
ability to beat Britt and even Joe
Cans. After the bout Nelson sara;

I was ever better in my life. I am
sorry my friends lost their money on
my advice
The Denver boy can feel for his
friends, because he drew all the
money the club would advance him
and bet it on himself, SO confident
was he of victory.

Rev. F. w Ward Denys, ex-chaplain Of

PUNCH GAVE OUT.
sam Harris Talks on the Nelson
Cofbett Fight

Columbus, O., March Sam Har-
ris, Terry McGovern's manager, said
that he gave up hope of Corbett win
ming over Nelson when he heard that
the Denver lads left arm punch was
not troubling the Dane.
II knew it was only a matter of
rounds after that, for it is Corbett' S
best blow AS to McGovern's chal-
lenge of last night to meet all corners
he had nothing to say specifically ex-
cept that at the close of the present
theatrical season Terry would be
ready to go into training.
After what he did to Eddie Han
Ion at Philadelphia after being out of
the ring for a year I concluded that
there is plenty of first class fight in
McGovern and I am going to see that
he has his opportunity.
Harris thought until the fight be-
gun that Corbett would win surely.

former champions manager again if
the little fighter keeps a promise made

there is a good living in the fighting

what a great fighter he was" said
Johnny Corbett, "and after he won
several fights I quit telling him that.
because 1 thought he had enough con-
fdence. This made him angry, and
we split up. When we first started
out we toured Kansas and Nebraska
by freight. We had punching bag
put up in box cars. Any place we
could get a fight we stopped. Many a

Dr. c. s. Lom bard, a prominent cap- italist of Redlands, is i'll the Valley this week, looking after his interests on the Eastside.
 W. A. Edgar returned Monday from three weeks camping trip with his family in the mountains near Julian. He reports having fine time and he certainly looks to be much improved in health.
 Frank Woodman of Riverside is in the Valley this week, looking us over Mir. Woodman is a we'll known orange grower of his home town, man of push and judgment and would make a splendid Imperialite and we hope he will become one at once.
 Julius Conrad and wife returned last Sunday from a two months trip to their old home in the East. While away they visited in Nebraska, Iowa and Wisconsin and had a most enioy- able time but are glad to get back to Imperial Valley and home.
 Mrs. J. B. Baker, who had spent a few days in the Valley visiting her nus band, the publisher of the Holtville Tribune, left Thursday morning for her home in San Francisco. This climate is too dry and the heat is too great, for the lady, who for several years has been III poor health.
 D. D. Pellet, the well-known printer, has accepted the position of foreman of the PRESS office, and will be in charge after October list, He has moved his family here from Brawley and is occu- pying one of the Vickery cottages, on G St. MT. and Mrs. Pellet are popular young people and are valuable addi- tlon to Imperial society.
 The Fullerton Tribune comes to our desk this week as souvenir edition, printed on splendid book paper with fancy blue back and gilt title line It IS beautifully illustrated with fine half tone cuts portraying Fullerton scenes, business houses and people and the mat ter ln the paper is of fully as high char acter as the cuts. Brother Johnson and the Tribune must be enjoying we'll de- served prosperity.
 Mir. L. T. Tally, photographer of much ability and the man who made the views of this Valley from which the moving pictures that were used in ad- vertising in the East, were made, is again in the Valley. It is expected that he will get lot more scenes and make an entirely new set for next years cam paign. His plan is certainly an effect i've one for advertising, as it shows the eastern people our country in way they cannot doubt.
