Show POMPADOUR V JIM Corbett Will Not Fight Maher for the Present HE WANTS TO MEET MITCHELL There Is More Money in It Billy Madden Makes Some Slighting Remarks about the Californian Special to Trot HERALD Examiner Dispatch NEW YORK Dee 11 Pompadour Jim Corbett rode down town on the iL road today with a 4000 check In his pocket His intention was to post it and sign articles with Peter Maher for a glove contest con-test He road Billy Maddens statement today Corbett I DID NOT PUT UP THE MONET He met several friends and after consulting consult-ing with them for half an hour decided to drop the Maher matter for a time His Idea is to devote his entire attention for tho next two weeks to Charles Mitchell Corbett and his friends think that there would be more money in a match witli the cunning Englishman than with Manor Corbett figures it out this way Mitchell has been doing lots of talking since he re turned home last Juno He stated that ho would fight me for as much money as I enillll rniaft Mrtro T infant trt mnba Um fiijht or acknowledge himself a bluffer Of my ability to beat Mitchell I am confident Ho has a better reputation than Maber Mitchell fought Sullivan to a stand still and that battle in itself made a name for him Ever since that tlmo ho has been PARADING ROUND AS A BOXING CHAMPION without doing any work in the ring I cant see how Mitchell can evade a match with me after the blowing he has been doing His idea in coming this country to give exhibitions I he crawls out of this match I 1 dont see how his tour through tho country can be successful I have a forfeit of 51000 posted which Mitchell will havo to cover or acknowledge ho will not fight Long before Maddens man was ever heard of in this country challenged Mitchell and put up a forfeit This is a matter of record Now I do not dosire to criticise the Irish champion He Is a good enough man In his way but ho doesnt begin to have suoh a reputation as Mitchell I can make a I match with Manor at any time but r do not believe I will ever have as good a chance at Mitchell again I CAN GET A DIGGER PURSE WITH MITCHELL than I could wltn Maher and anyone can readily see how much bigger a feather It would be In my cap to best the former I believe I can beat Maher and should Mitchell decline to make a match with me I shall be quite ready to put up 500 for Dublin to cover I will then show him whether I am pantomime boxer or not Corbott called at the Illustrated Nets office during the day and hAd a talk with Arthur Lumlej about his plan The boxer exhibited the 4000 check ho carried ffo might have cashed It at a thousand places for it bore Phil Dwyers signature plaCs 1Ir Dwyer has been one of Corbetts most enthusiastic en-thusiastic admirers since he BJW the bout between the Calffornian Jake Kllraln in New Orleans He TORB rrfhnrihil + n hmrn said tonight that ho would let 510000 on CORBETT AGAINST EITHER MITCHELL OR MAIlER Billy C Madden smiled when he heard that Oorbett had decided to drop Maher and try for Mitchell I am pretty well satisfied Corbett did not care to make a match with my man said the Irish champions cham-pions manager Of course he is not looking for money what be wants is glory A little matter of a 7500 purse or perhaps more and astake of 10000 i not an inducement to Corbett Id like to know how he can expeot to faro better even In these days of big purses Corbett appears to think Manor has no reputation Hole entitled to his opinion of course but for that matter WHERE DID CORBETT GET HIS REPUTATION Ho defeated Choyinskl so did Joe God dard on two occasions Tom Lees had Goddard beaten but the bout was declared de-clared 0 draw Jack Fallen whipped Leea and Peter Maher punished the latter In less than two rounds Corbett caught Kilrain out of condition and outpointed him He did not defeat McAffrey the athlete He bosted a man who was no more fit to enter a ring than he was to fly Corbett claims he was strong ut the windup wind-up of his go with Jackson and that he ran up to his dressing room while the Australian Aus-tralian him had to be carried Little credit to WHY DIDNT HE FINISH THE BLACK Here is one point I would like to make Who did Corbett ever hurt Kilrain was uninjured MoAffrey hadnt I scratch and Jackson from all accounts has fully recovered re-covered from tho effects of his try with the Californian Now then lets see what Maher has done He punched Lambert out in fifty seconds whipped Jim Daly In two minutes beat Fallen Bubblss Davis aud Tom Lynch in short order all knockouts knock-outs mind you None of these mon are champions to be sure but they wore the best one could got We barred nobody no-body Which of the heavyweights has over whipped these men in tho same length of time Corbott knows perfectly that MITCHELL WILL NOT FIGHT U FInT EXCEPT UNDER LONDON RULES Corbett doesnt like that style and no match will be mado Poor Meher will fight either Mitchell Qr Corbott under London or Quoonsborry rules so a match of some kind vH surely be made I have one proposition to make Corbott Maher is to spar at Madison Square gardens next Thursday night I have offered Lannon Godfrey and Kilrain who are the only heavyweights near here 500 if they outpoint the Irish champion I will make special inducements to Pompadour Pompa-dour Jim i ho will spar four rounds with Maher at the gardens I will give him two weeks salary Should ho outpoint Mahor I will give him half of the not receipts |
