BASEBALL AND OTHER SUMMER SPORTS
EDDIE HANLON WINS
OYER YOUNG CORBETT

San Francisco, June Eddie Hanlon was
awarded the decision over Young Corbett in a
twenty round contest last night. The fight was
an exciting from start to finish, but no
harm done to either man until the eleventh
ropes, but the Denver man stalled him of and
blocked a number of stomach punches Corbett
got to the center of the ring, and in mixup
knocked down Hanlon, who took the count to
nine.
For the next four rounds Corbett went at his
man and in the thirteenth had Hanlon very
tired, but he could not land knockout blow.
The next two were uninteresting The sixteenth
was Corbett's by large majority. He landed a
series of right uppercuts to the face and Hanlon
was very tired. The seventeenth was Hanlon' s
round. He uppercut Corbett to the face and
stomach.
Corbett had the shade the better of the eigh-
teenth round. The last two were all Hanlon's.
All during the nineteenth he stood up close to
Corbett, pounding away at the Denver boys
stomach. Corbett was tired and could not hit
back. The round closed with the crowd yelling
for Hanlon. Hanlon the stronger In the
twentieth, but both men were smuggling for
all there was in them.
Corbett very near going off the plat
form, but managed to stagger back to the cen
ter of the ring. but that only gave Hanlon q
better chance at him. The round closed with
both men on their feet and with Corbett all
but out.
The decision was a popular one with the
crowd Hanlon in the last few rounds clearly
outfought Corbett.

NEARY TO MEET HERRERA
IF He Defeats the Mexican He May Go
West

One of the most important fstic engagements
battle. between Charley Neary Of Milwaukee, and
a., clio Herrera, the Mexican, who claims
aBakersield, CAL, as his home, and which will
take place June $. at Grand Rapids. Mich. It
VIII be e. Neary's first battle away, from home
since his light with Willie Fitzgerald at Blue
Island, I'LL, when the easterner gave him a Sc
we're contest and got the decision. g.
Neary ana Herrera are not strangers In the
ring, as they have met on two former occasions
and they were draws each time. altho the dis
tanee was not far enough to really settle the
six rounds each time The Mexican had the
most science, and he could also hit, but Neary
was there with the wallop and could take an
awful amount Of punishment without hinching.
II Neary can win from the Mexican it will
mean much to him in a boxing sense, as he can
go west and demand attention from the several
lightweights out there who claim to be in a
class by themselves
