Corbett closed his career at Mechanics,
lighting hts last battle with Jim JEFF
fries 1t has always been an open
question whether more people attended
this event than the one between Fitz-
simmons and sharlxy They were two
Of the biggest money-mal<ers ever held
on the coast.
Mechanics pavilion was the favorite
resort OF the fans because Of its Inn
crowd Il was unnecessary to pack the
mob in like sardlnes. Everybody had
plenty OF room and when Jimmie Cof-
froth was commander of the forces
everybody had a seat. Mechanics
will always be missed by the sporting
public. for Il was an ideal place to
hold all forms Of indoor sports beside
lighting.
Just back Of Mechanics was the
annex. where some great fighters APP
peared as amateurs. 1t was in this
small arena that Eddie Hanlon and
Frankie Neil fought four of the red
hot rounds. Hanlon won the decision,
but Neil gave him fierce argument.
Irwin. Angel, Cordell and the Attell
brothers also fought here as amateurs.
Down on Sixth street stood Alex
Greggains old clubhouse, which was
another favorite battle-ground for anna
teurs a few years ago. This was eaten
up by the flames. Greggains pulled off
dozens of amateur shows on Sutter
street, which were always popular.
OF course, the Olympic club went
down with the smaller organizations.
Jim Corbett and Jimmy Britt did a
good deal to make 1t famous In pugi-
listic way. It was at this great club
that they received their first lessons in
boxing. Many clever wrestlers, swim
mers and track and field athletes were
developed on Post street, as we'll as
boxers. The Olympic club fell in
ruins, but It will rise again, better
and bigger Institution than before,
which is saying great deal.

Theft Of 5000
At CROSSWAYS
IS A MYSTERY

Another mysterious robbery among the
Newport cottagers In the height OF the
brilliant season OF the Horse Show. has
puzzled and alarmed the summer colony.
This time the victim is Mrs. Stuyvesant
Fish. and the robbery occurred at her
magnificent cottage. Crossways, filled
with guests and servants.
A considerable sum OF money, said 10 BE-
$500, disappeared from one OF the rooms
In Crossways yesterday afternoon, and
Mrs. Fish was so disturbed that she re-
mained away from the Horse Show, and
sent for Chief OF Police Crowley and In
spector Griffith and gave them instruc-
tions 10 spare no one In their investiga-
tions.
The officers remained at Crossways for
some time and devoted all their energy
for several hours 10 trying 10 get a clew,
but without success. Every effort was
made TO keep secret the fact OF the rob-
berry; but IL was learned OF through tho
condolences OF Mrs. Fish 10 her friends.
It could not be learned whether the
money was taken from the apartments of
Mr. and Mrs. Fish or Mr. and Mrs. James
w. Gerard. or Miss Lotta Robinson, or
Mr.. Lawrence Gillespie, who are guests
at Crossways.
All that is known is that $500 or more in
currency was taken from one OF the
rooms; but Mrs. Fish's concern over the
loss Of the money would indicate that one
OF her guests had been robbed I'm a mys-
terious manner, and that she was bent
upon having the mystery solved.
