He Never Could Compare with
corbett In stepping About
the Ring.

In the middlewelght class there are
several clever fpotworkers-Eddie Nc
Goorty, Frank Klaus and Harry Lewis.
These men know more than the average
about clever boxing. although all can slug
with great power, But cyclone Thomp-
son. also a middleweight, is totally with
out skill. He is a powerful young man
who bores In with crouch, arms across
the face. and tries to gradually wear
down his antagonist. Jack johnson, the
heavyweight champion. Is a phenomenal
boxer. For his size and weight he moves
about with remarkable agility, and in
that respect he excels all OF the other
big men. But johnson never saw the
day that he could begin to compare with
Jim corbett in fast footwork.
1t is doubtful IL corbett ever had his
equal in this style Of fighting. Nearly
twenty years ago when corbett knocked
out John L. Sullivan at New Orleans the
boxing world was convinced that a swift
footed, clessr boxer was more than a
match for a plodding slugger. Those who
saw that fight will never forget how

John L. SO rapidly that Sullivan, missing
swing after swing. soon dropped his
hands and growled TO his seconds:

corbett not only made Sullivan miss,
but also he fairly smothered the former
champion with cruel jabs that few into
Johns face without number. Sullivan
therefore was a target, and being out OF
he soon fell exhausted to the
floor. Corbett never lost his superb box
ng skill. but he was whipped by Fitz-
simmons because the cornishman, also

The source of the report could
not be verified. The counting of the
ballots is in the hands of general
committee which is in session in St.

The men called upon to vote on
the question of a strike include mem
bers of nine branches of shop work
on fifty western lines, including all
the lines operating into Denver ex-
cept the Colorado Midland. Moffat
road and the interurban roads.
The nine organizations recently be-

RAILROAD MAY WIN CASE.

Denver, June .2S.-Hearing of tes-
timony in the case of the state rail-
way commission and the Brecken-
ridge Chamber of Commerce against
the Colorado & Southern railroad, to
force the opening up order of the
commission of the 21-mile branch
from Como to Breckenridge, was con-
cluded at Breckenridge yesterday,
the presiding judge being Judge Ri
ger of Pueblo.
Arguments in the case will be
heard before Judge RiZer at Lead
vile on July s.
Attorney General Ben Griffith ap-
peared in behalf of the commission.
The Colorado & Southern resisted
the order of the commission to open
up this branch on the ground that
1t was unreasonable and would en-
tail heavy additional expense, for
which there would be practically lit
tie income.
Because of the contention of the
road. to reach Breckenridge one is
forced to travel a total of 3l7 miles
via Pueblo and Leadville, whereas.
If the 21-mile branch between Como
and Breckenridge was opened to
traffic, it would only be necessary to
travel Isl miles, or 166 miles less.
The commission order was for
the Colorado & Southern to open the
Como Breckenridge branch for
freight trains three times week and
for passenger trains daily except on
Sunday. The railroad company re-
piled that such an order would cost
the company large sum unnecessar-
lily, as the line never had and never
would pay for its operation.
The belief of the railway commits
sion is that it will win in the case
