HOW YOUNGSTERS WIN.

followers were sitting around the O.: ii.e one night just after witnessing a boxing ntes, where big sur prise had been sprung by a mere novice. says Abe Pollock in the Den Yer News He had knocked his op- ponent all around he ring with hooks and jabs and finished him off hy a clean knockout
 We were discussing he wonderful showing made by the yungster against the veteran of a hundred hard fought batt.as. and as the argument rassed from one the o,her on the poor showing made by the old head many incidents on the same order were cited as examples of young ster jumping to the front in a con test which Vas as good as won by the old head before they star ed, according to the fighting De.
 Of course the old head planes his Gef.at to lack of training. thinking the youngster too easy for him to was. his time on A fight with a fall guy as the rounde-s term an unknown boxer of only local rerHtation is scoffed at but these same fall guys" have Cften taken the bit in their own tech. Many time has 9 champion lost the tile 10 one of them and on return match made fall euy" himself,
 As We were talking an old-time figh. follower said. 'I think the orig inal fall guy Was Young Corbe't and he pulled he biggest surprise on mob of wise touts ever marked up on the boards.
 when Corlet- signed meet Ter ry McGoyern his best friends hal no idea he would have a chance with the T.rrib.e Terry fer more than one round. and the Denver kid was Deg ged proper for fall guy and can didatc for the nut foundry.
 The Kid had never fought out ot he state of Colorado and had only a cal reputation, but had won over some of the toughest boys the pro mo CTS could dig mp in his class, Still majority of the sports around Denver didn't take him seriously 1s having championship aspirations, but he had a few good friends among the local promoters Hhl stuck to him after he had been matched wi h McGovern.
 The fans in Denver looked a Young Corhett as just boy boXln around the clubs for breakfast mon ey and peegeI him as duck sou@ for the champion who had run out of fall guys back East
 Young C rbett persisted, however, and go, Johnny Corbett for a mana, ger. The Kid didn't make any mis- take on Johnny, because he certainly was hustler and this was once when he got out and spread himself. He had great confidence in the voungster ani af,er chasing around town for week he landed him OF the train bound Eas, and bid the gang goodbye from the platf rm Of the Pullman.
 New York was lonesome town for the fall guy and his stock was marked up at 10 to 1. The spor couldn't see him any way but lasheG to the post. and while few try outs jumped his stock up fe" notches with the wise ones, the betting never ran even
 If it hadn't been for Johnny CT Hatt getting out and doing some tall hust1ing the match would have fallen through as Terry was out stric'IE for the coin. That was strictly what the Kid didn't have, and the sports We're leary of taking chance on backing the novice against a sure thing.
 Johnny finally landed the correct stack, and al the wise guyc' that owned Broadway took vacation and a joy ride to Hartford, Conn. to see the pride of the fans take quick rumble out of the by from the timber line.
 'I guess Kid Corbett got to think ing about the warm reception ne had been given by the Broadwa, fans Anyway he tore loose when the gong tapped, and inside of two minutes he hung Terry on the ropes and hung the fight fans up for theli case note.
 "The train back to Broadway was loaded with fall guys, who haG taken every bet they could locate al 10 to and had gone to tht cleaners plunging on a sure thing
 Tn return match Corbett pu Terry on the hummer, put Denver on the map and put Broadwal touts on the bread line, and tha was going some for little Willie Boutwell,"
