coR5ETT SAYS X. o.
CAME IN FOURTH.

James J. Corbett, former heavy
weight champion, disagrees with
Referee Ollie Pecord, who decided
that Willard was knocked out in
the third round by Jack Dempsey
at Toledo.
81 never heard Of such a queer
ruling declared Corbett, land l
consider it very unfair, In my
opinion Willard was knocked out in
the fourth round, and I'll tell you
why.
The third round of three min
utes ended with Willard on his
feet. He wasn't beaten when he
walked to his corner, The ensuing
nothing, If the bell for the
fourth didn't ring. for the sake of
argument, Willard wasn't actually
defeated until ten seconds of what
would have been the fourth round
had elapsed.
Il have been asked by many per-
sons to decide bets made on a
knockout, and | shall decide that
Willard finished the third round,
but was stopped in the fourth.
Pecord has made a sad mistake and
has burned up many thousands of
dollars. He should have been guided
by common sense, which shows that
Willard, when he went to his chair
after the end of the third, hadn't
been declared the loser, and conse-
quently wasn't out in that round.
Il have no personal reasons for
differing with the referees de-
cision. 1t is simply a matter of
fair play, and l am surprised that
there should be any controversy
over a point that is as clear as
crystal"

Has Seen Moore Before.

London has not seen Herman, but 1t
has watched Moore against Wilde be-
fore, when the U. S. Jackie defeated
Jimmy in the allied finals at London.
Their 2~0-rOunder then is in the nature
of a resumption Of blows, or a renewal
OF an offensive that had been dropped.
And to judge from the spicy dope
that has been steaming across the
Atlantic the American will enter the

II you have digested the dope before
you probably are aware OF the fact
that Moore should repeat his first VIC

heavier and sturdier than Wilde; he

he has already been awarded a decision

he is merely protecting ground gained
