'ENCL|SH BOXER Who
MAY MEET JOHNSON
Eugene CORR Finds a Young
Man Who He Thinks May
Become a Champion.
Special Cablegram to The Star.

Special Cablegram to The star
LONDON, August 25.-Bombardie
wells. whom Eugene Corri considers the
coming boxer and the man some day like
~ to regain the worlds championship for
the white race, takes a modest and sensi-
BILE view of his prospects.
Naturally, l was very pleased to learn
that Mr.. CORR thinks so highly Of my
fighting powers" he said. An opinion
from such a Judge of boxing as Mr.. CORR
puts heart into young fighter.
But / am sensible enough TO know that
could not do anything with johnson yet
a while. 1 might be able to stand up to
him for ten rounds or so, but then l
should go under, simply because l have
not the physique to last longer.
First OF all. / want more weight before
/ can do anything big. Stripped. | am
Just thirteen stone. but / am steadily go
ing up. My height and reach are all
right, and l have age in my favor, for |
am only twenty-three.
Next. I want experience. have only
had two fights in England. both of which
won easily. In India | fought fifteen
fights and won them all. Most of them
were against men heavier than myself.
When l won the championship of India
my opponent weighed fourteen and half
stone.
Il came back from India with the ex-
press purpose of trying to win the cham
pionship Of England. When | have done
this shall begin to realize that l am
some use.
Il have never seen Johnson box, but
from all accounts / should say that he
was a magnificent defensive fighter. In
my opinion, the men who have fought
johnson have made the mistake of not
trying to draw him more-in not forcing
him to lead and give them an opening.
ITO beat a man like Johnson. you must
hit him hard and often, and the only
chance of hitting a man with such de-
Tense is to compel him to lead and give
you an opening. If / had to fight the
niger ! should keep on feinting till ne
was compelled to lead. Then there would
be my chance.
II am sure this is the only plan. The
negro has shown that he can keep man
off as long as he likes, and then wear him
down. / hope he may yet have to show
whether he can take continual hammer
ing from a man strong, quick and clever
enough to give il TO him."

the big twirler of the Ninth Street Chris
tan Church team OF the Sunday School
League. yesterday afternoon allowed the
Commissioners, champions OF the De-
partmental Lea ue, to garner three runs
in the final round and thus win the con-
test of the post-season series BY score
of TO 3.
Robertson, conceded 10 be one of the
best twirlers in the District. was on the
mound for the Commissioners and held
the Sunday School boys to four scattered
hits.
Each twirler famed four batters, while
Whitney hit a batter. He also passed
six of the Commissioners Robertson
showed up well In that he did not issue
one free transportation.
Charley Broome. the big receiver OF the
Ninth team. tried hard to duplicate his
home run drive OF earlier in the week.
but the best he could do was to plaster
the leather against the fence in the last
inning.
Two double plays were recorded in the
Doe and Hessler made the one for the
Commissioners in the third inning which
saved run. One runner had crossed
the plate when this trio nipped NJ.
Broome and Moreland. Miles and Bueh-
Ter landed the other for Ninth.

land OF dreams, as when Woodward
heaved the leather to that corner to catch
the runner Thomas did not know that
the throw was being made and the ball
rolled to the outfeld. while Broome
rounded the corner and soon crossed the
plate.
Only one extra base hit was recorded
during the game. this being a double
by Miles the right garden man for the
Christians.
OF the six hits recorded by the De-
partmental Leaguers Jack Hurley and
Noriarty each made two. All OF them
were singles. although Hurley planted
ofle of his against the fence. Fast field
ing held him to the initial sack.

Handiboe at the short field and Hurley
at second each did some classy work in

the first sack for the losers also felded
well. The only error recorded against

when line drive hit his feet and rolled
