YOUNG coRBETT WHIPS MARIO
IN FAST TEN-RoUND BATTLE

NEW YORK, March 2.-Young Cor
bett of Denver, formerly featherweight
champion, signalized his temperance
in the ring here tonight by defeating
Johnny Mario of New York in fast
ten-round bout before the Fairmont
club. Although Corbett disappointed his
friends by failing to knock out his man.
he surprised them by his wonderful
speed and agility.
Corbett now weighs fully 140 pounds.
Both men received lot of punishment,
Corbett closing one of Marto's eyes In
the second round and the latter draw
ing blood from Corbett's nose in the
third.
Both men adopted aggressive tactics
from the start, Mario being warned re-
peatedly for using his head. In most OF
the rounds Corbett forced the fighting
1t was only in the last minute that
Mario took the offensive. Even then,
however, Corbett cleverly held him off,
finishing the fight nearly as fresh as
at the beginning.

was Just coming out of a dazed con-
dition. Corbett won the ninth round
doing consistent work, but Tex was
stronger than in the preceding rounds
and was fighting better than since the
third. Corbett took no chances of los
ing the fight by a strong finish by Tex
and went into the tenth round as If II
was himself who had to overcome a
lead He outfought Tex throughout
the round and won a comparatively
easy verdict.

had much the best of the fourth round
and scored a clean knockdown with a
left to jaw and right to wind in the
last half minute of the round. Turner
got over a wild haymaker early in
the round that staggered Hugo, but
he was not seriously affected by it.
Turner was tired when the fifth round
was started and Hugo gave him Sc

nose and mouth bleeding and hammer
ing him hard to face and head. There
was nothing to the sixth round but
Hugo, and he earned the decision by a
wide margin. He administered great
punishment to Turner in this round and
took none in return.
Corbett Wins from Tex
The semi windup was billed as a
ten-round bout between Kid Tex and
Freddie Corbett, both of Colorado.
They were fighting for 500 side bet,
in addition to the purse. Bubbles Rob-
inson entered the ring and challenged
the winner
The first round was rather tame,
Tex being willing enough to mix 1t,
but Corbett showed a particular fond
ness for clinching. Tex had the shade
at the gong. They livened up consid-
erably in the second, but Tex clearly

maintained his lead with ease. Tex
kept up a monotonous hammering to
the face and wind until in the last half
minute of the round, when Corbett rail-
lied and showed flash. II was Tex's
round. They roughed it all through
the fourth round and Corbett made a
rally that earned for him the shade
in this round.
Corbett severely punished Tex in the
fifth and had him weak and wobbly IN
the last half of the round. He opened
up a cash over Tex's left eye and beat
him fiercely in the face and on the jaw
Corbett maintained his lead In the
sixth, but was not as effective as in
the previous round, although he did
enough. There was no change in the
seventh, Corbett holding his lead by
an aggressive policy and consistent
slugging. The eighth also went to the
credit of Corbett, but Tex seemed to
be getting stronger and acted as if he

DACING will be resumed this after
X noon at Santa Anita, and an ex-
~ cellent card has been arranged by
Secretary Smith. The feature Of the
Offering will be the fourth race at nine
furlongs. which will be known as the
Derby Trial, and which will bring out
good field of probably candidates for
the Derby. to be run Saturday after
noon. While the race will not De as
attractive as it would have been had
High Private been included in the Held
for today, 1t nevertheless will give race
goers a fair line on the probabilities of
the Derby struggle. Harrigan, in his
present form, looks like the one that
must be depended upon to beat High
Private, If Forsythe ships his Califor-
MIA Derby winner south, but the real
form of the majority of probable start
ers in the classic is so indefinite as yet
that really the racegoers have been I'M
able to form a definite idea as to which
of the many candidates will deserve the
honors of faVoritism that day. PM

Macdonald, which seems to have just
been tipped off to the fact that he viii
be expected to win a Derby for the
Kentucky horseman. Footpad is an I'M
known quantity because he has not
been to the post this winter. The Derby
field will be one of the classiest lineups
that ever tried for Derby in the west
but racegoers sincerely hope that Fitz
Herbert will round to and add much to
the class of the field by being starter
in this blue ribbon event. He sustained
quarter crack several weeks ago, and
has been on the shelf since. but may
improve sufficiently to Justify Hildreth
in sending him to the post.
While the Derby trial will be the fea-
ture, the last race of the day undoubt-
eddy will divide the honors with this
event. Roseben, Colloquy, The Bear,
Shirley Rossmore and four other speed
marvels will travel the five and half
furlong route for $500 purse, and at
the weights it looks like a keen con-
test Roseben runs as kindly with 12O
pounds as he does with 10Y, SO the
weights cut very little figure so far as
he is concerned, yet his performance
today will interest lot of people be-
cause it will serve as line on what he
will be able to do next Monday in the
Speed Special.
