Show IHEY WENT THELIMIT Hanlan-aYoung Ccrbetr Bout at 'Frisco Is Declared De-clared a Draw, SAN FRANCrSCO, Feb. 27. After 20 rounds of the fasting fighting ever seen in San Francisco, Referee Graney 'declared 'de-clared the bout between Toung Corbett of Denver and Eddie Hanlon of San Francisco a draw. Toung Corbett clearly demonstrated to the immense crowd present that he has not gone back, as some sporting writers would have the public believe. Hanlon also showed-that the high opinion In which he has been held by California boxing enthusiasts has been- justified The contest from a spectacular standpoint was the best ever witnessed on the coasts both men putting up a clean, hard, scientific contest. From the seventh until the twentieth it was a give-and-take contest, and to the pro-Hanlon house present It seemed as if the decision should have been his. But Referee Graney thought otherwise, and declared the contest a draw. During Dur-ing the last ten rounds Hanlon had Corbett on Queer street on several occasions, but each time the Denver lad came back strong and willing for the fray, taking much punishment and always awaiting an opportunity to send his right to the head or his left to the body. Hanlon and his -seconds were strong! v of the opinion that the decision should have been with their camp and expressed surprise that Referee Graney should have declared the contest a draw. It la very probable that one of the San Francisco clubs will make a bid to Terry McGovern to meet Toung Corbett in this city. |
