Denver. Dec. 6.-Yesterday the

cisive score of 13 to o.
The game was attended by the

places in the grand stand and the
cheering and roofing, especially in
the first hale, was terrific.
The only scoring in the first half
was when Longmont made safety
and at the close it looked like any
bodies game. A large amount of
money was wagered before the game
but very little after the toot of the
whistle
The second half opened with some
sensational work by the Longmont
eleven which seemed to give them
the courage hey needed to play the
game which carried the Chicago lads
off of their Feet. Two touch downs
and one goal kicked saw the rest of
the scoring and the Englewood

SPORTS
AT THE RING-SIDE
BY Knox BlockoT.

New York. Dec. 26.-And now ,
Young Corbett wants to get back into /
the ring. His 10-round draw with |
Brock at New Orleans the middle of |
this month has whetted his appetite
for the fight game and it is likely
that he win soon have another chance
at Brock.
Everybody was surprised when the
news came from the Crescent City
that Young Corbett had succeeded in
holding the nifty Brock to a draw de-
cision. Corbett went away from here
as fat as young tub and no ring
general expected that he had a chance
with Brock. who is young and was
in good condition. The showing he
made has revived a hope in the
breasts of his metropolitan admirers
and they are not few-that he will
be able again to get into fighting trim
and display some of the old game
ness and cleverness which for time
made him terror to all the light
weights.
Whether or not he succeeds in his
ambition, Young Corbett will have a
lasting place in ring history as the
man who whipped Terry McGovern

Young Corbett. whose real name is

reer that was short, sweet and full
of excitement. He flashed out as n
champion when the betting was 3
to l against him. He whipped the
best in his class in q snort time. and
then the Broadway life got him. His
greatest delight was to walk up and
down the great white way, buy wine
for himself and friends. stake every
one who was broke and never expect
a return. He wound mp his ring life
in poverty, and today depends upon
his drawing ability as a 3-round eX-
hibition boxer for living.
There is one thing that can be said
of Young Corhett-he never faxed
and he never laid down He was as
honest as the day is long Perhaps
that accounts for the popularity he
enjoys today, although his champion
snip days are apparently over. They
are telling many stories these days OF
Young Corbett's honesty. One OF
them is peculiarly characteristic.
Kid Broad was lighting Eddie Han
Ion in Frisco. Corbett bet $1,000
that Broad would stay ! 5 rounds. He
was asked to referee. but told of the
bet.
