~ IcuSt, IOp courtney won MIS-
~ last race. His Cornell Fresh
men revenged the defeat Of the
Varsity crews on the Hudson last
Saturday by beating all Of Cornell's
rivals with ease. And the Freshmen
OF to- day are the Varsity men Of com
ing years. Pop" Courtney can con-
sole himself for the loss OF the big
race by remembering that he has
built well for Cornelrs future, and
that even though he doesn't coach the
crews next year his Influence will still
be felt.
DENNY LEONARD. n ne q wise.
ID will not bs fat when he goes
into the ring at the Harlem
9. c. next Friday evening with Vic
Moran. This Moran boy isn't so very
clever or so very fast. but he's n
rough and ready sort Of a fighter.
and dangerous. He'll give Benny
plenty OF work to do. and unless the
Gibson entry Is In first class shape
may be able to annoy him consld-
erably. In the Dundee fight Leonard
seemed to have adopted the Freddy
Welsh idea Of playing It safe He'll
have 10 make pretty good showing
with Moran TO get back into the pop
ular favor he lost by being QUITO light
by a man barely out OF the feather
weight class.
. EEF is going down. Dan Daley,
ID 2S6 pounds. lasted less than a
round with Carl Morris. But
Morris. incidentally. weighed ten
pounds moro than Daley. We recon-
slider the statement about the fluctua-
ton in beef.
While knocking out Daley was a
very ordinary feat. no doubt Carl
Morris is now considered, in Okla
homa at least, the equal OF Jess will
ard. Didn't Willard say that Next
to Fulton Daley was his idea OF n
proper person to meet him for the
heavyweight championship"
take In training at Saratoga for
his Brooklyn bout with Dillon.
Frank may like to train up State. No
doubt the surroundings are ideal. But
people who intend TO see him fight
would like to keep an eye on his
workouts. And the eye that can
look from New York to Saratoga
hasn't yet been invented.
TT has always been customary for
i boxers in important bouts to train
near the battle-ground. Jeffries
IGNORED that custom occasionally
when he went to the mountains to
prepare for q fight. In California his
favorite training ground was Harb!n
Springs. two or three hours ride from
San Francisco. But Jeffries was an
exceptional fighter--a great cham
pion who was always known to be in
condition and fit for any fight. Fitz-
simmons. Sharkey. Corbett and the
rest OF the old-timers did their pre-
paratory work as near the scene Of
the contest as possible.
Jack Dillon has the right idea He's
training In the Enclosure where ne ex-
poets to fight.
