DENVER, Colo, April 11.-William
H. Rothwel. Young Corbett," who
rose from obscure Western rings
three decades ago to conquer Ter
rible' Terry McGovern and claim the
world featherweight championship, is
dead
He fell dead in front of theater
here Yesterday. Physicians said he
died of heart failure. He was A years
old.
Born in Denver, October 4, 1880,
he attracted attention in local anna
teur bouts before he was Is years
old, and in 1897 he appeared in three
fights which started him on a whirl-
wind campaign that kept him under
the spotlight for more than 10 years.
During the first three years the
ajority Of his fights were staged
in Western rings, with an occasional
bout in Middle Western cities. His
knockout of Fred O'Neill at Omaha,
July "a, 1898. in the fourth round,
gave him a foothold in that territory,
and the next year he divided his time
between Colorado mining camps and
the Middle West
Although he met with success in
several bouts at Omaha and Des
Moines in 1899 his friends advised
more seasoning, and he spent the
next year in the Colorado camps,
where he developed a punch that
brought him victories in nearly a
score of fights.
Starting in Januady, 1901, he fought
a series of six hard fights at Denver,
winning two by the knockout route.
In November of that year he invaded
the East and was matched with Ter.
rible" Terry McGovern at Hartford.

KING OF YEARS AGO, DEAD

, Conn, on November %. Young

hitting McGovern from the start, and
in the second round landed a right
to the jaw that put the champion

AS neither had been able to make
the regulation featherweight pound
age, then 122 pounds, a dispute imme-
diately rose and Abe Attell claimed the
title. Young Corbett then staged
series of fights in the East, billed many
times as heavy featherweight cham

lightweight class in 1903 and on March
81 the Colorado youth knocked out
McGovern again at San Francisco in
the eleventh round.
Young Corbett continued near the

years, but apparently was losing his
speed and power. Oscar tBattling)
Nelson knocked him out in November,

SIX-DAY BIKE RACER
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. April 11.-Reggie Nc
Namara of Newark, n. j.. Iron Man"
at 80 years of age, was hailed today
as the worlds greatest six.day bicycle
racer and one of the best the cruel.
ing game has ever seen.
After winning at Madison Square
Garden last month when paired with
Franco Georgetti, Mcnamara left at
once to race in Paris. He and his Bel
gian partner, Aerts. won yesterday.
1t was McNamara's s thirteenth victory
and his fifty-second six-day race.
He won at Paris in characteristic
style, coming from behind lin the last
half of the race. In his last race here
he again proved himself worthy of the
name Iron Man" by riding lap after
lap with a broken rib.
Two such triumphs in different
halves of the world make this the
greatest year the graying veteran has
yet seen. He has been racing for 81
years. and has covered something like
100000 miles on the six-dav track.
He was born in Australia, but is a
naturalized citizen of the United
States.
OF his victories six have been won
in New York, four in Chicago and one
each in Berlin, Paris and Sydney
Australia.

Day has seen enough to convince him
he has a bunch of youngsters that

that Hyattsville stands an even

have lost pitching strength, but to
have a good hitting club that is sure
to be in the fight for the crown. Up

In concluding their exhibition series
by beating the Giants, to 6, in New
York Yesterday. the Nationals flashed
a bit more spirit than usual in these
training tits. However. the victory
still left the count for the set with
the McCrawmen nine games to three
against them and the Spring exhibit
ton count 13 games to II against
! them.
Aside from the victory that ended
a losing streak of five games, the
most pleasing feature of the engage
ment was the pitching of Alvin Crow
der. This right-hapder. who for some
time has been dieting to rid himself
of a stomach ailment, made his first
appearance on the slab since March
23 when he faced the Dodgers at
Clearwater, Fla, and after hectic
first inning performed remarkably
well against the Giants.
Crowder walked the first three men
to face him and the next two laced
him for singles. This put across three
runs before any one was out. match

Giants continued their attack, nego-

teammate later singled.

Three hits and a pass were all the
Giants got off Alvin in the six innings
more that he toiled. Two of these
blows, one a bunted single and the
other a wo.bagger. came after two
were out in the third round and gave
the New Workers their last tally.
The Nationals jumped on Grimes
again in the fourth for four safeties
and got two more runs, leaving them
just one shy of the New York total.
In the eighth. the first of the two
innings hurled by Hollis Thurston, the
Giants had runners on second and
third bases with none out. but the
next two batters could not advance
them, and Bluege made a remarkable
leaping catch of Farrell's liner to end
the danger.
After that the Nationals proceeded
to hop on the left-handed Jack Bent
ley, who had assended the hill in the
sixth. for victory. Cullop opened the
ninth with a two-bagger and took
