sequently all that he needs il what
Corbett will endeavor to bring back
speed and stamina.
Cofbett deserves much national cred
1t for the part he is taking in the
prospective championship. Few there
are who would give up high saIaried
engagements to take charge of a train
ing camp, but there is a lot of patrio-
tic pride in Corbett, and always was.
hence his participation in the prepar-
ing of Jeffries. If in later days of
Jeffries' training Corbett sends out
word that Jeffries is as good as he ever
was, or even that he is good enough
to win, it will be a signai to the spe-
culators to get into the market with
Jeffries' money, for Corbett will know
what he is talking about.
OF course it is natural for the train
err of every fighter to have positive
belief in his man, and they usually
buoy him to the winning pitch, but
in this case Corbett knows Just how
good Jeffries has been in his previous
fights, and if he ever returns to that
stage in the opinion of Corbett, and
Corbett with all confidence, predicts
a victory for Jeffries, there is no rea-
son to look further for the winner, for
there is not one person in a thousand
who has seen Jeffries and Johnson in
championship action who would have
given Johnson a 10-to-1 chance seven
years ago.
In his letters to friends Corbett
says he expects to be knocked out
many time during his tuition of JEFF
fries, but he hardly means that. He
is not going to butt into the left or
that short jolt with the right if he
can avoid it when such things are not
necessary. He will do more jabbing
and getting away than jumping in and
receiving stiff punches. He will work
as much like Johnson as he can, teach
ing Jeffries as much as possible the
Johnson tactics. That will be about
ing Jeffries. 1t looks as if Jim Cor
bett was as much concerned over the
fight as Jeffries, only he won't get as
much money out of it.

Club Owner is Lucky
In This Day and Age

baseball the greatest institution IN
the world 1t is one of the greatest in
vestments a man can make; it gives
satisfactory returns on the money in
vested and today the stock in any of
the clubs in the major leagues cannot
he purchased, except at an eXhorbitant
price.
The players, too, are reaping the re-
ward of this reform and today many
of the players are paid from $500 a
season to $4,000; whereas, in the years
from 1890 to 1901, the star players in
the Boston, Baltimore, Cleveland, New
York and Brooklyn clubs considered
themselves fortunate if they could
compel the owners to insert a figure
around $4,000.
This alone shows the wonderful
strides the game has made during the
past 10 or 10 years, and ought to be
sufficient evidence to convince the own
ers of the game that in order to con-
tinue this success we must play fair
with the public, always keeping their
welfare and pleasure in mind. BY
keeping this always before us, the own
ers will be able to declare the usual
dividends, the players will not have
any need to fear cut in their salaries,
and the need of better accommodations
land larger grounds and grandstands
in every city will be made apparent.

Ieffries Wise in
Choosing Corbett

vFN YORK, March 3.-When a
.r,iner of a fighter pays proper att
tim to his own condition the pro-
Utilities ar ethat he is going to send
his man into the ring as good as hands
and mind can make him. This is
,.bat Jim Corbett is doing, prepara-

.ril he ready to handle Jeff when the
time arrives.
# * not that Corbett intends to be
,,,lIoped around the training quarters
81, the big fellow, but he wants to
have his wind good and be able to
STAY a long route with Jeffries, so as
~ give him lengthy ring exercises, as
nell as long road work. Corbett is
r,t going to be the obstacle for JEFF
fries to punch. There will be other
men to do the rough work. He will be
the lvelier trainer, the one who will
keen him stepping about the ring for
six eight or ten rounds a day, after
he has finished his limbering exercis-
Is such as punching the bag, wrest-
ling and other pastimes with which a
fighter has to go through when he is
preparing for fuss.

Corbett Has Personal Interest.

Corbett wants to bring the cham
pionshp back to the white fighters,
and he is sacrificing lucrative en-
gagements to be with Jeffries, both
in his early preparations and at the
rngside. Corbett knows Jeff like a
book, and he will look after the small
lest detail to send him into the ring
fit to stay a week, if necessary, if the
fighters constitution will stand the
strain.
In asking Corbett to to accept the
position of master of the training
camp, Jeffries has done a wise thing.
What he needs most Corbett can help
him to-speed and staying quality.
He has every other necessary qualifi-
cation. He can stand the most Sc
we're punishment, and after a long ses-
sion he has a knockout punch the first
time opportunity presents itself. Con-
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1910-04-01

Jacob H. Schliff is described by a
Toxic newspaper as responsible for
the Spanish-American war" It would
be quite as accurate to charge him
with responsibility for the comet now
nearing the earth.
A great deal of fancy has played
abou! that war. Admirers of New
York editor claim that he brought It
on; but they have nothing to go upon
but the fact that he sympathized with
the Cuban cause, and prior TO the
opening of hostilities described in his
newspaper the horrors of the Spanish
rule in Cuba In that position and ac-
tivity, however, he did not stand alone
in the journalistic world. All the
leading American newspapers took
the side of Cuba against Spain, and
gave full accounts of the Spanish
atrocities in the island.
The democratic leaders in Congress
claimed credit for the action of this
government. They asserted that, but
for their prodding, President McKin.
ley would have forced his party
friends to swallow the Maine episode,
and there would have been no war
And yet it is well known that the
President saw the inevitable from the
day the Maine went down, and was
preparing for it while his political OPP
ponents were loudly expressing fear
that there was no fight in him. He
was not of clustering temperament
and too wise to strike when unpre-
pared. But when he did strickland
it was soon enough-the effect on the
enemy was crushing.
1t belittles the country to misre-
