CORBETT'S TASK
IS DIFFICULT
Fast Proposition in Young
Erne Tonight.
PHILADELPHIAN IMPROVED
Defeat of Attell Entities Him TO Re-
spect-Have Met Twice
Before.

NEW YORK. Oct. 25.-Should Young
Corbett beat Young Erne this evening,
at Philadelphia. there will be a big
rumpus in that lightweight division. ane
it's a cinch that every sport in the coun-
try would be sald to see the doings
start
Things are so dead in most OF the
divisions. that start In the lightweight
class would help a bunch and start
things that have been sleeping for a
year past. If Corbett is in any sort of
shape he should defeat the Quaker City
lad. although he is toughest pick in the
East at this time. Only a few weeks
ago Erne took on Abe Atteli and made
that master of boxing look like a cigar
store Indian. Anvone who can do that
10 Abe commands some respect, and
this may be the reason for Corbett's
hard training. He probably knows that
Erne is hard game and wants to be
ready for anything that may turn up
as a surprise.
Corbett Was Winner.
The pair have met twice before, and
-Corbett was declared the winner on
points each time. In their first encounter
the Denyerite had Erne scared to death,
and had him on the mat a few times
more thar five. Their second bout was
better. and sports who were at the ring
side still say II Erne had had more heart
or confidence that Corbett would have
gone a few pegs.
Tonight Erne will feel more like
a champion. His win over Attell will
swell him up some, and IL he can
weather over round or two nicely
his friends look for him to stick with
Corbett and do what he did with Attell
Corbett differs from Atten. however, in
a lot of boys. and II Erne should stop
one or two. his hear, may get weak
again and his legs active
He is the stiffest argument that Cor
bett could have selected, and the re-
suit Is anxiously waited for.
