Neil Forbes and Jeffries
Corbett Battles Were
Fought Is Years Ago.

August 49, 1908, just IS years ago
today, frankie Neil knocked out
Harry Forbes in the second round at
San Francisco. This battle was for
the bantamweight championship of
America, which had been claimed by
Forbes in 1901.
The Chicago boy defended his title
successfully against Caspar Leon, Abe
Attell and many other good lads, but
the San Francisco boxer was too much
for him. After winning the title Neil
went To Los Angeles and knocked out
Billy dc Coursey and fought a twenty
round draw with Johnny Reagan In
1904 he fought Forbes again in Chi
cago, and knocked him out in the
third round. frankie then sailed for
England, having accepted a challenge
from Jem Epwker to fight for the
worlds championship of the bantam
weight division. They met in London
in October, 1904, and Bowker won the
decision in 20 rounds. Rpwker was
not defeated until 1906, when he lost
to Jem Driscoll. All of these boys
soon outgrew the bantamweight limit,
and Jimmy Walsh, of Boston, and
Digger Stanley, of England, both
claimed the honors, and fought draw
in 1909.

Tomorrow will be the fifteenth an
niversary of that memorable occasion
when James ]. Jeffries knocked out
James ]. Corbett in the tenth round
at San Francisco. In attempting to
pull a come back" Gentleman Jim
had the support of thousands of fight
fans who believed that the cleverness,
science, generalship and other super
ior ring qualities of Corbett, the fast
est big man of the modern ring,
would enable him to triumph over the
clumsy, numbering Jeff.
If the Californian had been the
man he was when he whipped Sulli-
van in New Orleans, such a supposi-
ton might have proved correct
"Pompadour Jim" was in the sere
and yellow leaf, pugilistically speak
ing. for he was nearly thirty se1Sar
years old, while Jeff was still on the
sunny side of thirty. The "come
hack" proved a failure. and the blow
that crushed Corbetts hopes ended
his ring career.
