JEFFRIES STOPPED
CORBETT IN CAMP
Previously Unwritten Chap
ter of History Disclosed.

Disclosing a bit of previously un-
written fight history, Jim Jeffries, in
a chapter on his career, published in
a recent issue of Liberty, relates how
he knocked out Jim Corbett while the
latter was preparing for the fight in
which he lost the heavyweight title
to Bob Fitzsimmons in 1887.
The knockout, as Jeffries tells the
story, occurred when he first put the
gloves on with Corbett in the latter's
training camp at Carson City, New.
Accounts of the meeting at that time
and since, however, has credited Cor
bett with knocking out Jeffries, then
a raw but powerful youngster re-
cruited from Los Angeles boiler
shop to serve as 4 sparring partner
for Corbett.
"Corbett didn't knock me out;
knocked him out" Jeffries is quoted
as saying.
'The story that he knocked me out
was just ballyhoo for the fight-to
worry Fitzsimmons and boost Cor
belts stock by crediting him with a
knockout punch. Delaney (COrbett's
manager) told me to say nothing and
to be sure not to contradict it if any
one asked me and L never did"
According to Jeffries' version of
the affair, which occurred behind
locked doors, his temper was aroused
by an attempt to have him expose his
chin for knockout blow from Cor
bett.
They wanted to see if COrbett had
a punch and they got me to step in
and leave my chin uncovered while
he took punch at me. 1t made me
mad to know I'd been tricked. My
lip was cut against my teeth, but Cor
bett never knew it. / rushed him and
mixed for a minute, then j got
punch over. l hit him and knocked
him against the wall so hard he near
ly went through.
'Then / pasted him a couple of
good ones to keep him there and his
hands dropped. He was done for and
another punch would have finished
him. They rushed in and pulled me
away and gave me time to cool off.
There wasn't any more boxing that
day."

VILLAGE to Be Raced

Much to the CONSERVATION Of some
of the oldest residents, picturesque
Garscadden, Scotland, is to be de-
molished. The county council decid-
ed some time ago that the houses were
beyond repair, and allocated about 100
houses in the new Duntocher scheme
to the tenants. Removal notices are
being served on Garscadden families
as the new houses become ready for
occupancy. Garscadden, until little
more than 20 years ago, was thriv-
ing mining village and is composed
of five typical miners rows" cOmpris-

apartments. There is sharp division

Modern Grid Training
Real Strenuous Ordeal

Training for college football is Sc
riOus thing nowadays. A man going
out to make his eleven must often
sacrifice his ambitions in the field of
baseball, basket bail and other sports.
OF course the man who has won his
letter in three major sports still ex-
lists, but he is becoming rarer and is
found mainly at the smaller institu-
tions, where athletic competition is
not so stiff.
Big colleges, and little ones, too,
for that matter, have spring practice.
There are summer occupations of ar
duOus work to keep in condition.
There is the early autumn session of
intensive training at camp or Sc
cluded establishment.
Also there are the regular practice
sessions and the informal practice
sessions; there are the matters of
clothes, sleep, associates, mental atti-
tude. On top of all is the coaching
system.
In the football season the day of the
members of the squad begins usually
about z a. m., the men having break
fast at the training table. The rest
Of the morning and early afternoon
is given over to studies and lectures.
Practice begins some time between
8 and 5 p. M, depending upon the
scholastic program. Nearly every
coach gets two hours or more of work
out of the members of his squad every,
weekday, and several coaches are re-
sorting to night practice, using either
a "ghost" ball, the leather being
painted white, or powerful arc lights
overhead.

John Heisman to Retire
as Coach of Football

With the close of the 1927 gridirOn
campaign rounding out a coaching ca
reer of &c years, John w. Heisman,
athletic director and head football
coach at Rice institute at Houston,
Texas, has announced mis- retirement.
With the exception of Alonzo A. Stagg
of the University Of Chicago, no man
has coached football longer than Heis-
man.
The veteran announced his resigna-
tion at a banquet Of Rice students.
The resignation has been accepted
and while the sixty-year-old mentor
did not outline his plans for the fu-
ture, he indicated he had coached his
last football team.
Before coming to Rice, Heisman
coached for several years at Georgia
Tech, including 1917 when the Golden
Tornado ranked as one of the coun-
try's leading elevens.

Jockey Hardy Now Holds
Worlds Record for Wins

'Longshot" Hardy, a lad of eight
cen, with only one years experience
in the saddle, holds the worlds record
for winning mounts on thoroughbred
horses for single season by virtue
of riding to victory in 207 races.
Previous records were held by Ivan
Parke, with 205 winners, and Guy
Garner, with 203.
Hardy is the third Jockey to cross
200 in the history of the American
turf. He broke In on Ohio tracks in
1926 and was several months getting
his first winner home. This happened
on September 80, 1926. at Columbus.
Last spring Hardy began riding on
Chicago tracks, almost unknown, and
became a sensation almost overnight.

dy's contract for $4,000, and Hardy
