CoRBETT HIS CHOICE.

Charlie Hanson, the six day promoter,
is a fight fan from way back, and if
you doubt us start Ginning with him
about the knights of the upholstered
mitts. We asked Chas who, in his opip-
ion, was the greatest fighter.
Jim Corbett, without doubt" piped
Hanson, taking another drag out OF his
jitney Havana. MY idea of a fighter
is a man who can take care of himself
when that old gong clangs. You know
Corbett could punish man, jab, upper
cut and make him look foolish. Very
seldom was the old boy socked. He took
care OF his face and his hands, too.
There are no marks on Corbett. lie
could take job as a floor walker, pose
as a hero or take John Barrymore's part
right now. There isn't a mark on him,
and look at the guys he fought.
'tHe beat Choynsh Kilrain, Sullivan,
Mitchell and fought one of the toughest
men that ever lived, Peter Jackson You
know Fitzsimmons barred Jackson when
he was a champ.

After a trip lasting from early Sunday
morning until shortly before noon to-
day. Jack Hendricks Indians and Pat
Moran's Reds reached here from Miami,
ready to get together in the third game
of their exhibition series. Manager Jack
feels bad over the showing his warriors
made Saturday when they were defeated
20 to 2, but the big chief hasn't got
a thing on the warriors themselves. All
the way from Miami here, they have been
figuring out a style of attack that would
bring them a victory in today's game and
even If they don't win, it is cinch that
the Red fellows are not going to grow
weary circling the bags.
The big Ieaguers and Hoosiers occupied
two coaches in the journey from Miami
and due to several delays along the
route both clubs were rather worn from
travel when they reached here. The last
leg of the trip was made by boat from
Tampa and the athletes had to don their

Ollie O'Mara was slated to make his ap-
pearance in playing harness again today,
although he is still in need of practice.

preparations for the contest today and
as everybody and his brother expressed
desires at getting a squint at the Cincy

Now Johnny Dundee believes that he
can annex the 133-pound title. He has
been giving away weight in the ten years
he has been in the game but still h.
seems to have 2 tremendous energy
against heavier fighters. Ms. Dundee,
now his sole adviser in pugilistic mat
tiers, thinks Johnny deserves a lot OC
credit
Every time Johnny meets Leonard
he give away several pounds, and ]
think that after meeting him eight times
and always holding his own with him
he should be given more credit than ne
gets. A week before the last Eight he
had a heavy cold and right up to the
night before tine contest he had to have
his chest rubbed so as TO relieve the
pain. He put up some bout for a sick
man, didn't he? If Johnny ever gets
Benny in a bout where they give n
referees decision he'll win the title sure.
