Special to The Herald
n IEW YORK, June 1.-According to
N Joe Humphreys, who lately has
acted as his manager, Young Cor
bett practically has retired from the
ring.
Not that the latter wouldn't take on n
fight that looked profitable if it was
offered him, but, to all intents and pur-
poses the man from Denver, who
figures he has outgrown his usefulness
with the gloves, has said his last fare
we'll good by.
The recent knockout defeat at the
hands of Kid Sullivan was the straw
that put the kink in the domedarys s
back, and Corbett will look to other
fields to gather the somewhat tainted
but nevertheless necessary dollar.
But even with his earning powers as
a fighter today being but scratch on
the plain surface as compared to what
they were few years ago, he will not
have such hard time keeping the
coyote from the threshold.
He is going in for wet goods-to
peddle and not to drink them-and, with
the least bit of attention to business,
should make the venture a success.
Corbett Honest
Young Corbett is popular with the
sportsmen, and they admire him for one
trait in particular-not so much on ac-
count of his fighting ability, but because
he was on the level, and during his en-
tire career won when he could.
In the light of recent events this ad-
mirabe trait is brought more strongly
to view. When boxer is on the level
he loses nothing, and while for time
they might break bad" the wrinkles
will finally be smoothed out and he will
come into his own.
This isn't a sermon on honesty, but
instances could be cited to substantiate
the statement in a practical way.
Take, for example, the cases of two or
the most daring fighters who ever
stepped into the ring in this country
John L. Sullivan and Terry McGovern.
Both were known as paragons of
honesty and, after they were through as
fighters and their money had been
stuffed away, the public stood by them,
and, as the saying goes, they could
always get a dollar"
When Terry's mental faculties became
impaired and he couldn't go out and
earn it, the sports gave him a monster
testimonial at Madison Square garden
that netted a sum not far from $4,000.
That will provide for his wants for a
long time, and when it is gone there is
more where that came from. 1t isn't
likely that he ever will be in want. He
made lot of money and, unwise though
it may have been, spent it. The public

BALL PLAYERS
POOR ACTORS
Field Popularity Not Sufficient for
Successful Career as Thespian.
"Rube" Waddel an
Example

Although baseball is the great ma
tional game, says the Detroit News no
ball player, no matter how much he has
been worshiped by the people, has ever
yet made good on the stage simply be-
cause of his reputation as player.
The last one to be trotted out on the
boards was Rube Waddell, and he prac-
tically killed the show, "The Stain or
Guilt" He had bad habit of taking
the stage carpenter out to have drink
lust when the latter was needed to cut
the rope that let down the trapdoor
through which the innocent child was
thrown into the deep, dark river.
Pop Anson tried it when he was IN
his palmy days, and Pop lasted just
two months with one of Hoyts "A
Runaway Colt"
"Anson never forgave Willie Keeler
for a joke they played on him when ne ie
was in that show" remarked Hughle
Jennings. mogul of the Detroit team,
the other day, while talking OF those
who sought histrionic honors.
1.-The show came to New York during
a league meeting, and as an extra at
traction Arson had three or TOUR play
ers appear on the stage with him.
There was a scene laid on base
ball field. The hero-'Pop' Anson-was
to hit a home run and thereby win the
heart of the sweetheart's father, who
was a fan. He was to get the daugh-
ter and they were to live happily ever
afterward.
"The show was going all right for
several weeks. Anson was driving IN
the home run and winning the bride
Iitwice day.
But he made a mistake in getting
those ball players to take the part OF
the supers during that special engage
ment for the benefit of the gathered
baseball moguls.
willie Keeler played third, Jack
Warner caught and Arlie Latham was
umpiring. 1 don't remember the rest
of them. -,
'Well. the show went all right until
this scene came up. The players were
all laying for Anse. He hit out his
home run and went tearing around the
bases. Just as he passed third Keeler
stuck out his foot and tripped him.
"They threw the ball to Jack Warner
and he tagged poor Pop out.
"It nearly broke up the show. Ac-
cording to schedule, there the girl was
in the stand waiting to be claimed, and
there was the old man waiting TO turn
his daughter over to the man who
brought in the winning run. But Pop
| was out"

.SCR|BES WILL

GREAT BALL GAME SCHEDULED
FOR WEDNESDAY
Matinee Idols Must Accept Defeat
with the Best Grace Pos
sible - Notable
Lineups

Unless some of Bill Desmond's al
legged ball players show greater class
ON the diamond than stamping boards
there will be mourning in ActorVille
Wednesday afternoon, following hard
upon their set-to with the newspaper
club of experts.
These Thespian people are in pad
but as they have forced the issue IL Is
IN to them that they toe the mark and
take what is to come off at Chutes park.
So thoroughly were the matinee boys
trounced upon the last occasion that
they were not deemed worthy OF an
other appearance with the fast scribal
brigade. -,
At last, however, Bill Desmond has
succeeded in scheduling a meeting
some say that Bill will do the twirling
for his nine. A great chance here tor
the Burbank girls to show their deVo-
ton by wearing crepe.
Among others who must share obl1V-
ion along with Bill are Glazier, Stone,
Galbraith, Vivian, Lowell ana feck.
Springer. the scribe twirler, bona hde
of the bona fide, will surely direct pro-
ceedings from the press box. A protest
was entered by the actors against
Springer but the objection has been
overruled and he will be pitted against
Desmond.
AS usual the scribe lineup looms as
the same invincible crowd which here
tofore has always brought dismay into
Tespian ranks.
Although it has not as yet been de-
cided who will catch, Springer's assist
ant is certain to be there with g. mitt
at least.
George Hancock has shifted from
third to short in order that Charlie Van
Loan may again have an opportunity OF
showing Jud Smith, etc.
Beanie, the greatest of all keystone
wonders, will amble about second.
Madison, Guernsey and Clotworthy
will be in the outfield, should by acci-
dent any actor man find Springer nap
ping. Jay Davidson and Leonard will
alternate with others.
1t would be scarcely fair to mention
all the talent which is to send the
Actorines down and out. Suffice to say
there will be a great slaughter Chutes
park. Wednesday afternoon at o'clock.

n OSTON, June 1.-Ftve star ath-
X letes from the University of
- Pennsylvania won the intercolle-
giate championship in the Harvard
stadium today in what proved to be
a series of wonderful athletic per-
formances.
New intercollegiate figures were
written in six of the thirteen events
and one more record would have gone
down, that of the high hurdles, had
not the officials decided that the rum
ners were too much favored by the
wind.
Pennsylvania was given a splendid
fight for first place by seven men from
the University of Michigan, winning
by only four points. The Pennsyl-
vanians scored SO to 20 for Michigan.
Yale was third with 23 points and
Cornell fourth with Is points; Prince
ton had 10, Syracuse s and Harvard Z.
intercollegiate records were broken
in the mile, the shot put, quarter mile,
two miles, high jump and pole vault.
Garrels of Michigan ran the high hur-
dies in 15h seconds, but Kraenzlein's S
record of Is 2-5 seconds will remain
the intercollegiate figure.
Several of the other events were al
most up to new marks, the 100 yards
being run in 10 and the half mile in
1;57%. Captain Garrels of Michigan
led the field with 19 out of 20 points
for the westerners. Garrels won both
hurdle events from such fast men as
Shaw of Dartmouth and Hubbard of
Amherst, and also showed his strength
in the shot put by getting second place
over Stephenson of Harvard.
Haskins of Pennsylvania won the
mile and half mile, and Cartmell OF
Pennsylvania won both the dashes.
Haskin's victory in the half mile run
decided the meet for Pennsylvania.
The finals in the intercollegiate track
ana field championships were reached
today with Pennsylvania, Yale, Cornell
and Michigan fighting for supremacy
with strong men left in majority or
events after yesterdays elimination
trials.
1t was arranged to begin the sport
at 3 O'Clock in the afternoon with the
seni-finals in the 10O-yard dash, while
the mile run, twenty-five minutes later,
was reached as the first of the hnai
events. AS usual there We're eight
track events and five field contests
upon the program with points for the
first four places.

Struggle

All arrangements have been com

| handbal1 tournament which opens to-
morrow, and two weeks of strenuou:
exercise are now in store for those who
have entered.
There is no little speculation regard
ing the probable winner, and every
game of the class A contestants will be
watched eagerly until the final game
has been played.
Many months have passed since the
first tournament, and playing ability
has probably undergone many changes
GOrdo Whelan, who carried away
honors in the first tourney, will en-
deavor to retain the championship, but
must meet several opponents worthy of
his attention.
Ray Dunnigan has been improving
daily and is now rated one of the most
dangerous men on the local courts
Many anticipate that he will give
Whelan great game.
The following rules have been drawn
up and are to be strictly enforced:
All games must be played off by June
13. Class A games take precedence over
class B games. Glass B players will
meet at their convenience, beginning
Monday, June 8. All class B games not
played by the end of class A tourna-
ment will be scheduled and played ac-
cordingly.

GREAT FIGHTERS ARE
GENERALLY ON LEVEL

doesn't say, "What did he do with all
of his money!" or, "Why didn't he keep
| it when he had it ?" The fact stands out
that he was on the level. That is suffi-
cient. The same holds good with the
grizzled, gruff old gladiator, John L.
Here it is fifteen long years since he
lost the championship to Corbett at New
Orleans, and he seems to be as popular
as ever He still is q big card on the
road, and it is doubtful If there is a
stronger box office magnet in that
branch of the dramatic field he has
adopted. 1t is stated on the best pos
sibe authority during the season just
closed he drew crowded houses all
around the circuit the gross weekly re-
ceipts often running as high as $4,000.
Not so bad for man who hasn't fought
in a decade and half. But, then, John
always fought to win.
But to get back to Young Corbett.
Returning from the fights the other
night a crowd of the sports, as is the
custom, stopped into Hotel Bartholdi
for a tanning bee. Among the party
was Humphreys. Somebody asked how
1t was Corbett could open a cafe If he is
as fatty broke as reports make 1t out.
"I'll tell you why" replied Hum
phreys. "In the first place, it is true,
the Kid is broke But he has friends.
he DeNeT lIOWllcu VI CIOoOCu NilOil iiS
was fighting, and his friends are num-
bered among those who lost on him, as
we'll as those who won on him.
Takes on Flesh
"Any time he started and you had a
bet on him you received a run for your
money. and no matter whether he was
beating Terry or losing to Nelson it
was all the same-he did the best he
could, and was there TO drag home the
coonskins if it were in his power.
"People who do not know make a
mistake when trying to figure why Cor
bett retrograded so quickly. They
imagine it was because he drank to eX-
cess. Such was not the case; he was a
temperate drinker compared to the
average rounder.
"It was because he was prone to run
to flesh and found it hard to get into
condition. He has the frame and
strength of featherweight, but the
weight of a welter. 1t costs pile of
money to open a cafe in New York, but
his friends have supplied it, and he will
have a nice place on Twenty-ninth
street, just off Broadway.
He intends to look after business
strictly, and L am confident he will
make money. He was liberal and
honest when he was in his prime, and
a successful business venture would be
but fitting finale to long, meritorious
career in the ring"

SEATTLE, Wash, June 1.-Washing-
ton won the big championship intercol-
legiate boat race on Lake Washington
today, defeating Stanford by two and
one-half lengths. Washington's time
was 90 minutes and 3S seconds and
Stanford's time was 1854. Both crews
got off at the firing of the starters gun.
Washington took the lead at the very
beginning and was never headed.
Gradually the University of Washing
ton oarsmen gained on their opponents
very slightly but appreciably, until at
the finish they had nearly three lengths
to spare. Washington's stroke was a
little longer than Stanford's, the latter
averaging 81 to the minute, while Wash
ington's was about 35.
The Washington crew will go to
