Corbett Sees Name in Lights That Suddenly Go Out

New York, June 13- (NEA - James J. Corbett, 35, spots young James J. Jeffries 10 years and 90 pounds in an attempt to regain the championship. It's May II, 1900. The ring is pitched in the old familiar Corey Island Athletic Club, the same old familiar faces are at the ringside.
 As Gentleman Jim and the Cal ifornia Grizzly square off they ap- pear in superb physical condition.
 Jeff, shaggy as a buffalo, rushes and Corbett nimbly side-steps, jab- ping two swift lefts to the face. There follows one of the finest ex- hibitions of boxing by Corbett ever seen. Slugger against boxer-an ideal combination for an exciting contest.
 For 9 rounds Corbett has been making a monkey of his hairy chested adversary, and Billy Brady and Billy Delaney, former handlers and friends of Corbett who have transferred their allegiance to his rival, are yelling madly to the Boilermaker that the only way he can win is by 8 knockout.
 Corbett comes out for the 23rd smiling confidently. He gracefully SideSteps Jeff's furious rushes. Corhett backs toward the ropes as Jeff surges in. Corbett's back touches the ropes, a startled look comes into his eyes, as If surprised to find him. self on the ropes.
 AS he bounces forward Jeff's ponderous left arm is coming around in wild swing and Cor bett's neck is catapulted smack dab into the whizzing fist.
 The blow catches Pompadour Jim just under the jaw, his body seems to jump into the air, he falls back onto the lower rope, then topples off to the floor, dead to the world.
 George Considine, one of Corbett's seconds, rushes over to throw water on the stricken fighter. Jeff is so excited he starts kicking at Con- sidine while the referee goes through the formality of counting Corbett out.
 It's 3 o'clock in the morning. Corbett is sitting with ConSidir1e, Nat Goodwin, Tom ORourke and me in suite in Toms old Della van Hotel at Broadway and West 40th Street.
 While sitting in my chair after the 22nd round," says the one- time bank clerk, T know I've got the fight won and begin planning what I'll do when champion again. I'm deciding what size type I'll use on big posters that proclaim me champion again!
 "AS I start to the center of the ring I'm not seeing Jeffries. I'm dreaming of my name in colored electric lights on Broadway. I see the admiring crowds and hear the cheers. I'm awake but I'm dream ing.
 Suddenly the lights black out and I'm asleep and not dreaming.
 "Ah we'll" yawns James J. Cor bett, "it was my fault. I'll say this, though:
 James J. Jeffries is the gamest man I ever fought"

ed for training at 36 years of age for which he was not paid. Int Seattle club kept him a few weeks then dropped him, despite the G. Bill of Rights, which guarantees z service man one years employment at his former job, or its pay equiva. lent.
 The Meriden young man, who is no dolt mentally, promptly sued for reinstatement by the Seattle Club ct $720 a month, his pre-war salary as a ball player; for one year after his date of U. s. Navy discharge. After a little juggling, the case came up and Federal Court Judge Lloyd Black ruled in NiemeciS favor; by telling the Seattle club that "it need not play him, but it must pay him." The Seattle club, through its attorney, stated: i've probably will appeal; but the decision is so far-reaching that we must consult heads of other leagues, before we decide f1nally on the next step"
 What Judge Black had to say dn his decision, about the CON- TRACT signed by Niemec with the Seattle club, is much more important that the decision in- volving the Selective Service Act and G. I. Bill of Rights; for it opens up discussion on the aver age players contract on any base ball club; MAJOR LEAGUES IN PARTICULAR, which is SO one sided in favor of the club-owner as to be what Judge Black re- ferred to in the Niemec case as reminiscent of chattels." One of the WebSterian definitions of "chattel" is SLAVE.
 Obviously, what the Seattle at- torney means by consulting other league heads to decide the next step is. if, by appealing the Nie- mec case to higher court, the whole baseball player-contract is- sue would be brought into the open; where it might cost the NNAH-SWA1OAo MSuNG4 C1GU OWIls CTS such as Sam Breadon of the St. Louis Cardinals, who recently kept 100 Purple Heart war-veter- ans out of the Cardinal park, so that he could SELL the seats those wounded men might take up If they were allowed to see the game free of charge.
 I would like to bet 50OO0,O00 Russian rubles right now that the Seattle club will PAY AL NIEMEC rather than appeal the case; for fear that their player-contracts will not be judicially commented upon further. By such contracts, which are common for major league players too, there is "re- serve clause" which prevents the player from quitting a team; though he can be "fired"; does not pay him for spring training; and If he is sold, he gets no part of

Chiefs US. Red Sox

Hartford, Conn.,, June 27. (UP)- The two top clubs in the Eastern League tangle tonight when the Hartford Chiefs meet the Scran- ton Red Sox.

dering eye cannot be treated with
too much kindness and patience
as it is these two factors which
is nor than apt to lead him back
to you after his little excursion
by the wayside. Let him shoulder
more of the responsibility of the
home especially the care and di-
rection of the children. If you and
your husband would take a larg-
er part in the activities of your
children this will have a steady
and SOLDERING influence on your
husand as well as consuming the
surplus time that he now has to
run around. A man has to be
made to feel important in the
eyes of his wife and children if
he is to be ~contented and happy
in the home.
M. N. A.-Here is my problem:
I am with a man who is 27 and
I am II. When we first started
together he treated me nice. I
love him very much and some
times 1 ask him if he loves me
and he tells me to figure it out
for myself and I am thinking he
doesn't love me He used to kiss
me each morning before he left
and was real sweet to me when
he came in but not anymore. He
nearly stopped taking me out and
when he does agree to take me
some place he acts like his mind
is far away and not on me. When
he comes in now, he gets his sup
per and goes out stays until late.
Tell me what to do?
Ans: The new has worn off
now that the affair is getting old
to him and it is growing mono
tonous and uninteresting. You
must realize right now that you
made a very unwise step when
you left home and went to live
with this man without marriage.
Affairs build on sand, without
the sanction of marriage invari-
ably wash away with the passage
of time. You are extremely young
and you should go back home and
stay until you have had the prop
er offer of marriage.
G. B.-I am going with a min
lister whom I love. He won't mar
ry as he says he has four years
in school. Now I am older than
he is and wonder if it would be
worth my while to wait.
Ans: That depends upon the
extent of your love for him and
the depth of his devotion for you.
1t he is willing to announce the
engagement openly and confines
his dates to you alone, you can
feel no fear in waiting. If you
two agree to the long engage
ment. by all means take a course
of study, yourself at the Semin-
airy. BY doing so, your interests
will be more congenial with his.
