THE MGOVERN-YOUNG
 CORBErT SURPRISE PARTY

Once there was a young lady named with the gods. They decided one day to make her a present. After arguing the matter back and forth they decided to give her a nice, fancy casket filled with a choice assortment of trials and tribulations. The box was locked and Pandora was eau toned not to open 1t. Curiosity, how ever, got the best of her and she picked the lock, and turned loose on the world a host of sins and sorrows, which have never ceased to afflict hu- manity.
 All of which reminds one vividly of the first battle between Terry Mo Govern and Young Corbett, which was fought at Hartford, Conn. on Thanksgiving, Day, 1901. just sixteen years ago tomorrow. Terry was champion of all the featherweights, and was making a mint of money on the stage. He had whipped all the best boys of his weight in America and Europe, and his admirers consid- cred him invircible.
 Young Corbett at that time didn't have any reputation to speak of out side of Denver, his home town, and nobody would have blamed Terry for refusing to meet him. The Cobra do boys packers kept challenging Mo Govern, and 1t was largely to satisfy his curiosity that the champion con- sented to meet the westerner. AS a surprise party, Pandora's experience wasn't in it with the Hartford af- fair.
 Terry entered the ring five to one favorite, but in the second round a right flush to. the point of the chin sent the champion down for the count. They met again in San Fran cisco in 1908, and Terry was again put to sleep this time in the eleventh round. In the interval between the two battles McGovern easily whipped a number of good men, but Young Corbett certainly had his number.

described until the war~is at an. end,
But this money was not handed out in

and farmers received

to thousands of Jews who
preferred death by starvation to loss
of self-respect. ..
Meanwhile General Sir Archibald

had crossed Sinai Peninsula and
struck at GAIA. His proclamation, an
nouncing England's intention to give
Palestine back to the Jews, reached
the colonists, who could not control
their joy.
The German Falkenhayn smiled
good-naturedly. But the saturnine fea-
lures of Djemal Pasha flushed with
rage, and he prepared to punish the
jubilant Jews.
