Americans Lost Friend
In William Corbett

When william Corbctt. famous
Australian fight critic. died recently
American boxers in the Far East lost
the best friend they had among
the newspaper men there.
Most OF the Australian writer's are
opposed TO outside fighters" says
Joe Waterman. who made a trip to
Australia u year or so ago with Bud
Ridley. "but corbett was always very
fair with everybody. He was the
writer who put Billy Shade over
when the Californian made such a
hit there.
"Corbett made ono trip TO the
United States. in 1910. when he ut.
tended the Johnson-Jeffriss fight,
and he received such cordial treat
ment that he never forgot Il.
"Corbctt was tremendously big
fellow and In his younger days was
rated as one of the best swimmers
in the world. And he was also IN.
nous as long distance walker.
Peter Jackson. the great colored
heavyweight. was discovered by Cor.
bett, and the Australian scribe al
ways compared every heavyweight
with him.
He was unique among writer's: he
never used typewriter in all OF his
years Of service. and was rated as
the greatest fight critic In the world.
corbett was once offered position
with a New York syndicate for three
times the salary he received in Aus.
tralia. but turned II down"
Corbett was 81 years old when he
died and was survived by three sons
and a. daughter.
