WHEN gentleman. JIM
SURPRISED THE WORLD
Fighting Fans Saw no Chance for
Corbett, Who Combed
His Hair.
No Man Equaled Him in Clever
ness and Speed in the
Prize Ring.

James J. Corbett is the one man
Kingdom shall ever boast Of. The others
may come and go, and champions may
rise up today and die tomorrow, but
the name Of that great Californian will
always be spoken Of with respect.
James J. Corbett was beyond doubt
the greatest uprising influence the
ring has ever known. He was the one
man that raised the squared circle in
the estimation Of the better classes.
This same Corbett caused more
"bloods' to witness boxing contests
than any other man in the world.
Prior to the time Of Corbett, pugil-
ism was the short-haired sport. Fight
ers used to enter the ring with their
hair shaved close to the scalp, and
when the wis cones" Of two decades
ago saw Gentleman Jim" Corbett
with his sleek and we'll groomed and
pompadoured they could not concede
him a chance.
Predictions were freely made that
the ponderous John L. Sullivan, the
mighty Boston gladiator, would make
piece meal of Corbett. Well, their
battle at New Orleans is ring history.
Corbett made piece meal of Sullivan.
No big man ever lived who was the
equal Of Corbett in either brains or
cleverness, so far as pugilism is con-
cerned.
When Corbett was 'Corbett, the man
never lived who could equal him in
speed or cleverness. He was fast on
his feet, the greatest living judge of
distance the world has ever known,
| and his equal in the finer points of the
game has never been seen.
Jim Was Generous.
If the chief characteristic of Jim
Corbett was named 1t would be his
generosity. This fellow never knew
what 1t was to turn down friend. He
gave more money away than any
fighter that ever lived. He made for
tunes and spent them.
The big fellow had a. peculiar weak
ness for native sons. He was the great
est booster California ever had, and
was never known to turn down a Cali
fornian in his life. - ..
Corbett was the Beau Brummel Of
pugilism. When he was champion he
was the best dresser in New York and
swell tailors used to think themselves
honored when corbett gave to then

JUDGE HAYS WANTS TO
MATCH THE KERRY KID
Will Put the Kerry Kid Against
Any Man in His Glass, Elk
cept Top Notchers.
Answers Challenge From Sporting
Editor Of the News Tribune
for g. Match.

In recent edition of the News Tri-
bune the claim WAS made that the
Kerry Kid was too heavy for middle
weight fighter, and that McCune's
manager would be pleased to match
McCune against Schreck. He also said
that he would send to Chicago or De-
troit 10 get man to. fight my man,
the Kerry Kid.
Every fighter is obliged to begin at
tho bottom, and fight his way to the
top. I have looked over the Kerry
Kid very thoroughly, and I am, strong
ly convinced that he will make good.
I base my judgment upon my long ex-
perience in dealing with some of the
best pugiIists of the past twenty five
years. IL,
The Kerry Rid sgame, is a hard
puncher, quite clever and looks to me
as he Is capable of handling himself
with any in his class. In a, CONVERSE
ton with me yesterday he said: you
train and match me, and will do the
fighting"
I am ready to make "a match for him
with any Of them, and those people
who want to send to Chicago or De-
t1oit to get man, all they have to dc
is to show me where there is a purse
worth fighting for, will draw up ar
ticles of agreement at once. 49,.
We are. not looking for: easy money
We will take any Of them outside ;ot
the top notchers," and 1 will show
that my man can fight, and give the
fighting fans run for their money.

KERRY KID WILLING
TO FIGHT M'CUNE
superior's Fighting Fireman Is

Judge Hayes Will Act as the
kids Manager, and Has Great
Hopes for Young Man.

went over to West Superior last
Monday to see my old friend, Mart
Gallagher, where l met a bunch Of
Superior sports talking prize fight.
They have a great deal of faith in
Mike Mangan, better known as the
Kerry Kid" why they said: Judge
YOU can take the kid" and make him
whip McCune or Parties, and there
is money over here to bet on him.
never saw the kid before. They
took me over to the fire department
headquarters, where he is a member:
and I was surprised when I saw him.
1 did not expect to see such g. strong
young fellow who is splendid speci-
ment of manhood from his toes to
his head I spoke to him in re-
CARDS to McCune and Parties, and
said, kid will you fight either one Of
those fellows?" "Why sure" said he,
II think I can whip either OF them.
I will also meet Caponi, if he will
agree to give me the same terms as
he offers Tremble, McCune and Par
ries"
A number Of people tell me the Kid
is game, but he gets excited when in
action in the ring. I have trained a.
number Of fighters who, when I first
took a hold of them, would lose their
heads in tight place. But after I
was with them a few weeks I had
them so that no matter how fast they
where fighting or in how close quar-
tiers they were I could speak to them
and they would get down to business
and be as cool as a cucumber.
You can take any amount Of fight
ers-that are clever who can not teach
boxing-for they have no heads. They
start in with a pupil, and after a few
lessons they box too hard with the
scholar, and nine out Of every ten
scholars loose their ambition. But
should the instructor warn them not
to hit hard when he first starts once
in a while he will pick up the differ
ent blows twice as quick as he would
| If he got a punch from the instructor.
There are lot Of people who have
seen a few boxing matches who think
they can referee a fight, but they can
not and do it right. A referee ought
to be a cool, square man, and know
the boxing game from A to z, for a
tricky fighter can easily fool a referee
If he is not up to date. and on to
his job. i JUDGE"

MITCHELL WAS MOST
l.. =. UNPOPULAR :PUG|usI:
However, He Was the Best Fight
er England Ever Sent to
This Country.
America Has Never Accorded to
Charley Mitchell the Credit
Due Him.

Charley Mitchell was the most I'M
popular but the best fighter England
ever sent to our shores, not barring the
great Jem Mace.
Mitchell the credit due him as one OF
the greatest bare-knuckle and glove
fighters of his time. But such he was
beyond a doubt.
I have it from a reliable source that
the pluclxy Mitchell weighed only 14S
pounds the night he faced the mighty
John L. in Madison Square Garden,
New York.
Old timers will remember that little
Mitchell on that occasion knocked Sui
Ivan down with a straight right hand
er to the jaw. In their second meeting,
In France, Sullivan. toward the end OF
the battle, was a badly punished and
much exhausted man, and was glad
to have the bout called a draw. J
had the story from Harry Phillips,
one of Sullivan's hackers at the time.
Mitchell had the better of 1t as the
fight proceeded and was fast putting
the big fellow to the bad, when a big
bunch of pug-uglies at the ring side,
headed by the English fighter, Jen
Smith, and opposed to Mitchell's win
hing, made such threatening Demon
STATIONS toward him as to scare him
into submitting to a draw decision.
Sullivan at that time was the idol Of
battle that reached this country were
highly colored in favor Of our cham
pion. .... g..
Sullivan hated his smaller rival and
did all in his power TO- belittle him.
Mitchell's quarrel with the prime
favorite, Jack Dempsey, did not in
crease his popularity, and he was hiss
ed wherever he appeared, but for all
that he was game little battler, and
the few who really knew him are still
his loyal friends.
Dempsey was a great favorite with
fight followers generally, and while q
great fighter in his class was never the
equal of Charlie Mitchell, and was
lucky never to have met the English
man In the ring; although he tried
hard to secure q match. - = = r.

bett was training at Carson, Jeffries
says himself that Corbett hit him
harder than any man he ever met.
Nearly every ring fan will remember
the last fight Corbett had in New York
under the old Horton law. His train
ing camp was the Mecca for New York
society.
Such men as Richard Croker, August
Belmont, Jim Keene, John w. Gates
and stuyvesant. Fish visited the Cor

prominent in the social world called
to see him. Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish and

Charlie is well provided with this

perform in the squared circle he had
for his opponent Jack Burke, the Irish
lad. They fought six rounds in Chi

draw, it was palpable injustice to
Mitchell, as he had much the better Of
the going, having Burke on Queer

The Presidential Shuttle.

Since the delivery of President
Roosevelt's Provincetown speech, it
has developed that he had sent copies
20 the press containing a highly i'm
portant paragraph which he eliminat
ed when he came to deliver the
speech. In the advance copies he
said:
Our aim is to try to do something
effective. Having this in view, the
department of justice has recently
taken steps to see if it is not possible,
In certain contingencies and for GER
tain purposes, to put the trusts that
are guilty of wrongdoing in the hands
of receivers. The purpose of the ad-
ministration is to stamp out the evil;
that we shall seek to find the most
effective device for this purpose; and
that we shall then use it, whether the
device can be found in existing law
or must be supplied by legislation"
The idea that the administration is
able to assure a supply Of new legis-
lation to suit purposes is as bad as the
receivership proposition. Both indi-
cate utter contempt for the constitu-
ton and for congress. The wonder
is that President Roosevelt was able
to perceive this when pointed out to
him.
But it would appear that the presi-
dent still believes in the ~receivership
program for in the suit against the
%1hoooo trucf tho offnypOyy general
prays the court to appoint receivers
for the corporation, with its Ga sub
sidiary companies, if the public inter
ests may thereby be conserved. Why
| the president thus shuffles and while
emitting this receivership program
| from his speech, yet still allows his at
| torney general to demand it of the
| court is one of the many inconsistent
cies of the present administration.

brought out the fact that che work in
New Jersey and Maryland had been
completed under the auspices Of the
states, while hat in Alabama is far
advanced.
The geological surveys of North
Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Mis-
sissippi have also done considerable
work in the coastal plain region, and
reports on the water OF
Georgia and Alabama have been pub
lished by the state bureaus.
The work of the national survey in
this area has been confined to investi.
cations of underground water prob.

and to studies of the phosphate de.

If present plans are carried out
field work in Virginia, North Carolina,
South Carolina and Florida will be
completed in 1907, and that in Geor
gia, Alabama and Mississippi will be
reserved for 1908.
