CORBETT PUTS
OUT HARRY FERNS.

NEW ORLEANS. La, Jan. 5.-with a
right hook on the jaw and a left to the
body, Young Corbett, of Denver, yesterday
afternoon knocked out Harry Ferns. Of
Brooklyn, In the eleventh round Of their
scheduled twenty-hve-round bout before the
West Side Athletic Club.
Corbett was clearly the ~classier and
proved the aggressor from the first. In
only one round. the fourth, was he troub-
led to any extent. At that period Ferns.
with furious body blows. rushed his an
tagonist to the ropes, and with rights and
lefts to the face floored Corbett.
.Corbett, however, was on his feet in a
jiffy and punished Ferns severely for the
momentary advantage.
The eighth, ninth and tenth rounds
proved hard ones for Ferns, and Ia eaca
he was barely saved by the gong The
of the eleventh saw Ferns in bad
shape, and Corbett trifed with his victim.
Corbett demonstrated to his admirers that
he can stand punishment. He boldly
walked into Ferns's arms time and again
and blow after blow was rained on hun
with no apparent effect.
Dave Barry, Of Chicago, was referee.
-Four thousand persons saw the fight.

soon found that he could handle the
mits. Best of all, he has a kick in
both hands that seldom fails to bring
home the bacon for him.
Leary is not a fancy, finished fighter.
He is a fair boxer, and is as strong as
a bull. In his own awkward fashion he
has made a good impression in New
York fights. The fact that he carries
a wallop in either hand has been long
ago demonstrated when he has beaten
down experienced fighters In a few
rounds.
The Gladstone boy, who has been do
ing his recent training al Bloomfield,
thinks that he will stop Savages's
rushes with one of his short arm
punches. Those who have seen him
fight say that 1t will have to be a tough
man to stand them.
Savage, on the other hand, is conf
dent. While not holding Leary cheaply,
he thinks that the Gladstone welter
will be easy for him. Savage is a strong
fighter, a trife better boxer tina Leary,
though not having the same experience.
He has been working out with his
brother, Jim Savage, the middle weight,
Of Orange.
The fighters have q side bet up on the
outcome of the bout. Membership
tickets for the firht car nbe obtained at
273 Main street, Orange, or at the resi-
dence of Harry Burnett, 4s9 Bloomfield
avenue, Bloomfield.

WILL FIGHT FOR Weller
WEIGHT TITLE OF JERSEY

The welter-weight championship of
New Jersey is at stake tomorrow night
in the battle at the Long Acre Club,
New York city, between Billy LeaTy, Of
Bloomfield, and Danny Savage, of Or
ange. Neither boy has met defeat.
About 600 Jersey sports from Newark,
Orange, Bloomfield Summit and Glad
stone will journey to New York to take
in the mill. Savage will draw a big fol-
lowing from Orange and Newark, while
Leary's admirers from Gladstone, his
home town, Summit and Bloomfield will
come well "heeled" to back their favor
lite.
Both men have finished their train
ing and will tip the beam at about las
pounds. Savage is in a little better
shape thar Leary, though the latter
had several hard days workout with his
new sparring partner, Cyclone Kelley,
the former Hoboken fighter, who
trained several big men for battles on
the coast.
Billy Leary does not know what de-
feat means. He Is a youngster at the
lighting game, though he has had some
thing like sixteen knockouts to his
credit. He has been fighting over a
year.
Before entering the padded arena,
Leary, who is % years of age, was a
runner, having won several in
this State. Leary liked boxing and

ranks. Every round in the competition
has been spoiled by protests and the off,

since the season began. The worst blow

competition in the second round.
Ihere was a special meeting of the A.
F. A. at the Continental Hotel Saturday
night, the delegates being called there to
listen to more protests In the third round
of the cup ties 1t proved to be another
long and troublesome session, lasting until
midnight, with very little accomplished.
The first protest to be heard was from
the True Blues, of Paterson, against the
Howard & Bullough eleven, of Pawtucket,
r. L. The True Blues protested against
Elliott, of the III. & BIS" claiming this
player had signed two forms. From the
evidence submitted Il seemed as If this
trouble could have been settled in a few
minutes, but it was nearly two hours be-
fore a decision was arrived at, the Blues
protest being voted down.
This was followed by a protest from the
Clan Mcdonald Club, OF Brooklyn, against
the Clark A. A. for playing the Fisher
brothers in their cup tie. The Fishers
have been regular members of the Clark
A. A. eleven for three or four years, but
in spite of this the Mcdonald club de-
clared them ineligible. They committed
the terrible crime of going up to Am
sterdam. N. Y. and playing in an exhibi-
ton game.
The Fisher trouble was settled in the
second round, the Clan McDonalds' pro-
test against them being turned down
and the game awarded to the Clarks. This
did not satisfy the Clansmen. however,
who evidently want another game with the
Clarks. 1t resulted in another long and
bitter argument, during which plain Ian
guage was used by several of the dele
gates, and when midnight arrived no de-
ciSion had been reached. The meeting was
adjourned until next Saturday night, when
another effort will be made to settle the
question.
Then another protest will be heard, the
lCamerons having a grievance against the
Jersey A. c. because of a game ended in
a draw and which came near being the
finish of the referee, Vincent Cairns, who
was assaulted by the Jersey City specta-
tors. Cairns has been asked to attend the
meeting and tell all about Il. More trouble.
Owing to the bad condition of the

SLOSSON ON EDGE
FOR HIS MATCH
WITH SUTTON
Both Experts Have Been Play
ing Great Billiards in
Practise Games.

In addition to securing the control Of
the Princess billiard room, in New
York city. George Sutton, the man who
holds the championship billiard title
for 1871, by the default of Schaefer be-
cause of illness, has been able to do a
lot of practise work in the last week
for the match which Is to be played
tomorrow night in Madison Square
Garden Concert Hall between him and
Slosson.
1t Is the first big billiard meeting
of the winter and probably starts the
ball rolling for some lively competition
between the experts before the season
is over. No matter who wins tonight
it is a foregone conclusion that q chal-
lenge will follow and that another
match will be played for the title at
1871 before the winter is over.
Neither Sutton ne: .Slosson has been idle
for the last two months, and for the last
three weeks both men have been very busy.
1t Is not always easy to tell by the results
Of practise whether a player is just on edge
for competition in a worlds championship,
but In the preliminary games which have
taken place In this city Sutton and Slosson
certainly have kept close to the standard
which has made both men famous.
Some think that Slosson Is going a little
better than usual, judging by the success
which he has had in matches which have
been played in his room. He has not won
all Of them, but 1t has been obvious in
some of the handicaps which he has given
to his opponents that he has been playing
at a better speed than he was a year ago.
Sutton is a dangerous man If the balls
roll right for him. If he can get the posi-
ton to suit him snd can hold the ivories
where he wants them his short game is
bound to accumulate big runs.
From present indications the tourna-
ment, which Is to be PLAYED in New York
later in the year for the 1872 champion
ship, will be one Of the liveliest and most
keenly contested that has taken place in
the United States In a long time.

there will be nothing more doing for him

Willis hasn't signed, but says he doesn't
think Willis is sincere In his intention to
quit.
Yesterday a letter was received here
from Willis by a close friend of the club.
In the letter Willis says: L am doing very
well at Newark and find l can make more
money than | can get playing ball, so l
do not intend to leave Newark again. |
