The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1905-02-04


meet At place near Washington on
Tuesday night. and should furnish an
excellent bout for the fifteen rounds
they are carded to go.
Corrigan has been working hard with
Jim Janey ana shows signs OF being a
good boxer He viii need all his skill
as Lowe Will have an advantage in
weight and has proved that he can hit
well in proportion to his pounds. Cor
Tigan's best trick is u left hand punch
20 the face, followed by a right swing
over to the Jaw. The straight punch Is
of Il kind that should bother Lowe,
whose style of boxing makes him par
ticularly open 20 that method of attack.
Corrigan has fought some good men,
! but has not been in the game for d
year. One of his best bouts was TWEEN
ty-rou1id draw with Jack Ward. He is
also accredited with two draws with
Tim Tim Callahan, and knocked out The
Terrible Blacksmith in nine rounds.
! Whether not he still has the soporific
punch remains to be seen. If he does
not have it he will stand small chance
with such Il sturdy youngster as Lowe.
! One of the preliminaries TO the Lowe
Corrigan set-to VIII be between the I'M
| fortunate Rube Carter, who was knock
| ed out by Lowe in one round, and
Tommy Ward, Ristie Leonard,s protege.
John O'Connor has had Carter boxing
with his boys and says; he thinks the
tune viii be able to do things after
he has had little more experience.
KID Eean IS also carded to meet a
youngster in the prelimiraries. but his
opponent has net yet been selected
Abe AtteH demonstrated when he got
the decision over Tommy FeItz in Bal
timore Lass night in fifteen rounds. that
he is one of the fastest boxers in the
business. His footwork was the best
that has been seen in the Monumental
| City for many, many moons. Not only
was he fast in the sense of avoiding
punishment, but no had brains in his
feet, so 10 speak, and was far cIeverer
than the average boxer IN getting the
full benefit from his footwork. He so
manipulated things that FeItz was con-
stantly being led into taking the ag-
gressive, which availed him little. Again
and agaj'. Tommy made iunges and sent
swings at the Westerner's head, but
they amounted TO nothing, for Attell
was invariably going away and when
, blow did land. ii WAS lacking in force.
This style Of fighting was exactly what
F'eitZ did not desire, as he has not the
stamina h used to have, but he could
not get any other style and had to make
the best Of a bad job.
There was no force in the blows of
either man. and while Attell is UndctAt
eddy Il great boxer. he will have to show
more punch than he had last night in
order to create the impression that he is
) q great fighter.
Harvey Parker, who has so long been
the king of the welterweight wrestIers.
writes from Toledo that he is in the
West getting matches with the wrestlers
I
reports that the game is going better
out there than 1t has for a long time
and that as a result new crop of ca
pable wrcstlers is being developed and
will be heard from before long.
! Parker will probably stay in the West
until he comes to this city for his finish
match with Joe Grant at the Washing
ton Light Infantry ArmOry on February
/ Is His constant bouts with heavier men
have put him in excellent condition, and
in his letter he says that he Will give
Grant the hardest tuSsle the Washing
tonian has had for long time. This
remark II not likely to worry Joseph,
who has heard such things before from
I bigger men than Parker and has then
! pulled down the long end Of the purse.
/ Harvey Tyrren. the wrestler. who made
such good showing against Rob Roy
Mackey on Wednesday, and took all the
! loose coin out of the jeans of the Man
| of Many Words has q match with
| Andy Smith. in Baltimore. the middle
| of this month and there is reason To be
lieve that ne viii win Smith is said
/ to be a good man. but from the reports
/ he Will not be as good as Tyrren and
the Washington boy will probably add
] more loose coin to his bank account
Buck Talbert. Of Northeast, writes
/ that he cannot see where either Joe
