REGENT FIGHT IS

MANY Think Corbett Could Win if

journal Special Service.
Philadelphia Oct. 19.-Fight lovers are still
discussing the great McGovern- Young Corbett
battle which took place here Wednesday night.
The bout demonstrated that both men have re-
turned to their old time form and able, to
give any lightweight hard run. The boys
fought nip and tuck contest, and 1t would have
been difficult to pick a winner unless the affair
had lasted twenty rounds. -.+. 49,
To Corbett must be credited a handicap which
possibly uterfered with his plans to knock out
his old rival. McGovern worked the buttng
game, probably not Intentionally, but with good
enough effect to cut four gashes In Corbett IS
head and forehead. From these wounds blood
flowed almost continually and blinded the Den
yer boy. often he hardly knew where Mccoy
ern was so thick were the streams Of gore. In
that half-blind state Corbett lost several eN-
cellent chances to end the mill tn decisive fash
ion.
So far as McGovern concerned he has
not looked so we'll in at least three years. But
he did not begin to fight like the Old Terry
NcGovern used to do He clever
NcGovern more careful one, too. But despite
bis exercise Of care, there not idle
moment in the six rounds. The bout was a
hummer from the start.
When the first round began there
plcion that something was wrong In the bout,
but such ideas were soon dispelled by Corbetts
vicious lunges at his opponent COrbett was
lacking In judgment Of distance, but that was
accounted for by the fact that it is lSlg
time since he engaged in Queensberry affair.
