In drizzling rain the annual George

SO disagreeable were the weather

In the race of the college classes the
seniors won from the sophomores by

PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 26.-Youns
Corbett did not come through as Terry
McGovern did last week-with bells on
Corbett met Young Erne over here
last evening and took a grueling worse
than McCurdy or Mccall got from In
vestigator Hughes.
If Erne was Aot entitled to the de-
cision, then no one was or ever VIII
be. That Quaker Kid although not a
champion of the world, just outboxed
Corbett. stabbed him with singing lefts
time and again. and tantalized him as a
toreador docs the bull
1t was a six-round fight, and IL wen:
the limit. although at times il looked
as though either one might drop at tho
moment from the punishment dealt out
Corbett Too Fat.
The story in tabloid form is this:
| Corbett was fatter than he has eve,
been in his life, although he did trair
on the level for two long weeks anc
tried hard to get the porch low. L,
took years TO raise that little front OF
his and it would not come Off in two
weeks. no matter how hard he tried.
Erne was In great shape, and, spurred
on Dy his win over Attell, felt more
confident than ever. Corbett had the
wallop, but he could not get in except
IN the first round, and Erne was do|r
out q second The Quaker lad landed
the cleaner punches, landed them often
/, er. and six or seven times sent Corbett
reeling toward the ropes.
Waliop Went Wrong.
Corbett forced the fighting at times
and had many points In his favor al
stalling. He tried hard to get the
Quaker. but Philadelphia slowed him
up, and he could not get within six feet
OF good wallop. He missed two out
of every three punches, and was fear
fully Wild. He would rush at Erne like
bull. only to get a left handler flush
in the mouth time after time.
The punches that did hurt Erne and
the only clean ones that the little Den
verite slung out, were those on the back
or the Quaker. They stung. but did not
take the heart out OF the recipient He
came back and mixed with Corbet;
every time the latter wanted IL.
Erne has improved wonderfully OF
else Young Corbett- has gone back OF
was in very poor shape. There's nc
other way to explain that fight In

undoubtedly best Erne, but then that
has nothing to do with last nights bat
