The San Francisco call., 1906-10-19
BRITT -CORBETT co
MAY BE PUT ON
NEXT MONTH.

1t is not at all unlikely that Jimmy
Britt and Young Corbett will be seen
squaring off in the same ring within
the next few weeks Already Promoter
.Coffroth has begun to Office up for the
mill He figures that these two men
will draw q big house in San Francisco
any time they start. and now is as good
as good as tomorrow in the eyes of
the fighting booster.
Britt is willing to take another
chance at the little man from Denver,
who most every one believes has seen
his best day. The wires were busy yes
terday while Coffrotfi was communicate
ing with Corbett The latter will surely
come out here if he thinks there is a
chance TO gather a little money. and
unless serious obstacles are placed in
his path he will probably say good-by
to Broadway within a few days.
The lighting promoters always did
are sure he and Britt will still bring a
bundle of money into the house. They
say once more that when the little
DenyeFite arrives he will be put TO
work and made to train as he never
trained before. That is old talk, but
it will probably go again, so if the
match with Britt is not made in this
city it will likely be signed up for
Colma some time next month.
1t is popular pastime now for all the
hghtweights to seek matches with
Jimmy Britt. The latest one to take up
the trail of the fat magnate is Dick
Hyland. Last night Dicks manager,
Sammy AIeCHntick, announced positive
ly that his boy would meet no other
Californian. If there is no chance to
coax Britt into the ring Sammy says
he viii take his bread winner to Dem
yer, where lot of easy money is
waiting to be gathered.
Billy Roche tried to match Hyland
and Fred Landers for the first of the
month at Colma, but the auburn
anything like that Neither will he
entertain any proposition of meeting
with Lew Powell. He wants Britt, and
if he can't get him he will say fare
well.
Landers has an angel on his staff
who is willing TO make a side bet OF
$25O0 that his man can put it on Hy-
land. But even this tempting PROPOSE
tion. together with like guarantee of
a purse from Roche, failed to hold Nc
Clintick. He figures that a ride in a
Pullman will be beneficial to his health
if there is no talk about match with
Britt.
Now that he has failed to sign up
IL A0Hu anu 14dnQCIS lOI Ills AOfiiid
club. it is likely that Roche will put on
Landers and Powell early next month.
The boys will meet Billy today and
have a little talk. Both are pining for
a fight and the match should prove a
great drawing card
Eddie Hanlon will try his hand as a
referee tonight. Like Jimmy Britt,
Eddie will tackle the four round artists
first While Hanlon has officiated In a
few bouts before. this will be his first
attempt at handling whole show, and
as nine pair of husky scrappers hook
up at the California Clubs entertain
ment at Dreaml Pavilion it will be
seen that the popular lightweight will
be a very busy man for short space
of time.
The four special events alone should
prove very attractive pugilistic
morsel, as every boxer is top
noteher who has been on the griddle
before and proved his mettle. No more
confident or better trained athlete ever
answered the gong than frankie Ed
wards will be tonight when he tries to
treat Paul Martini to his first reverse
! in the roped arena. The same may be
said of Rough-House Mcdonald and
George Finnigan, who will be called
upon to defend their titles against two
hustling boxers who are liable to cause
an upset at any stage of the contest.
Frank Mayfield will mix it with the
welter- weight champion, while Henry
Jones stacks up against the premier
I bantam.
The Oakland phenom. Loren Brown,
/ has undertaken a tough proposition in
Charles Reilly. but the commuters will
/ be on hand with the coin to- back their
cyclonic miller. Walter stanton, will
have the Point Richmond delegation to
support him in his four-round argu-
ment with Harry Riley. Prior to the
entry of the gladiators the following
well known scrappers will endeavor TO
keep the sports in a happy frame Of
mind: Walter Kirtschner VS.. Jim Will
son; J. Irvine VS.. Joe Kane, Eddie
/ Madison VS.. Joe Deknan; Mike Synfy VS.
/ Spider Joe Kelly.
