Second q . ssriss
By BILLY ROCHE The Referee

New York, May 24. (NEA)- St. Patrick's Day is a great day for the Irish but the 17th of March, 1897,, proves anything but that for James J. Corbett.
 Gentleman Jim loses the heavy weight championship to Bob Fttz- simmons this afternoon.
 No two such warriors ever squared off in such an important engagement before a smaller as- semblage, less than 5000 being in attendance. There are plenty of empty spaces on the flat board benches and in the bleachers of the comparatively small wooden arena pitched for the purpose on the sage brush plain outside of the little mining town of Carson City, Nev., but the one set of box seats around the ring is filled.
 Heavyweight championship fights have not yet caught on. Few peo- pie travel, and Carson City is in the wild and woolly far west Only the dyed-in-the-woOl sports turn out.
 It's one of those crystal clear mountain. mornings as Freckled Bob Fitzsimmons comes traipsing into town at the head of his party, including his wife. the beautiful and curvacious Rose Julian. They look more like they're going to @ picnic than a prize fight.
 The whole gang is in Fitz's corner when Referee George Siler calls the principals together for instruc- tions.
 Among those attending Corbett is a young sparring partner named Jim JeffrieS.
 The gong sounds and Corbett steps forward with his hand out to shake but Fitz deliberately de- clines. Corbett flushes and for tense moment they stand like 8 couple of statues, Corbett poised on the balls of his feet, Fitzsim- mons flatfooted, his left foot far in advance of his right.
 Corbett breaks the spell by

The results were great-the couple won fifty dollars in cash and had more cigarettes to take home than they could carry.
 Ann CMaisie) Sothern, star of the CBS "Maisie" show, has decided to take a course in "be-bop' music as exemplified by Slim Gaillard. A re- cent script called for "Maisie" to sing an excerpt from Gaillard'S tricky tune, Cement Mixer" and Ann had trouble getting the rhy- ttm. After numerous rehearsals she had the beat down pat-or thought she had. On the air, however, she reverted to her original off-beat accents and the cast had to help her by stamping out the correct rhythm with their feet.
