Show WNG CORBETT STILL IN RING J! Deliver Boy Says He IS Fight. f Intends to Stick to His !; Own Class, Says Ott Floto. t igaja He Had No .Business Going I Against Heavier Men Thnn ! Himself. ! DENVER. March 25. "WIso men I change their mlndB fools never do." This Is about as true an adago as was i ever penned. And Young: Corbctt has ! liown mo that he's a "wise mnn," Mys Otto Floto. jf0t many people have been closer to ! th little DenveT fighter than the writer writ-er and for several years I havo been trying to convince him that he was aaklnff a serious mistake by taking on the heavy men when there are plenty i of good men at 126 pounds who can i rivo him battle. , Testerday he came to the same con-' con-' dulon and during a conversation he $; laid" "I know I havo made a mistake, In wid I'm going to take my medicine like luaman. I have been fighting men Khtavler than myself simply because I ?xifd the money. I took a chance !t Bjil lost, so I havo no one but myself L To Stay in Class. 1 "In the future I am going to stay In i toy class. I am going to make my nat-5 nat-5 ural weight, which, as you know, Is 126 j pounds. If I want to do a little extra 5 bard work I can-reach the 124-pound 1 notch. I had no business fighting men weighing 135 pounds. I thought it waa ': jft me, but Kelson, more than any oth- Kl er fighter, has convinced mo of the er I ror of ray ways. He Is the best man , I ever met, and he can beat them all ;i at the weight He may not be able to 5 beat Brltt In San Francisco, but out-' out-' side of that town he has It all over i Brltt. You know, Jlmmle Is a pretty ; ivlte owl, and any time they get the j best of him they are entitled to It. j Nelson Is "Wonderful. "Nelson has youth, stamina, and a 1 physique that can stand the onslaughts of any of those fellows In his class that 3 Is simply wonderful. The harder you ; hit him the faster he comes at you, r and no punch seems to distress him." 5 If those who are taking the Nelson light as a basis of the ability of Young Corbstt In the future In his ring en-' en-' gagements, they are going to bo badly ; fooled. Ho Is going to do some more 5 startling stunts In the roped arena ' that will astonish his friends and ad-l ad-l ralrers to the same extent as the first i victory over McGovern at Hartford. This, of course, is only true if he de- cldes to remain In his own class. Ho or no other fighter can get out of their il class against good men and win, and ; If I remember right, It was old Jem i Mace that said: "A good big man can defeat a good little man any time they Ii meet." This la one line above all others that Young Corbett should remember. He I can fight Hanlon, McGovern, Murphy ! and many other youngsters In the East j and win, They can all make weight j Mow 130 pounds, and If Corbett will juck to hla determination to keep In tte 126-pound class he is the Field Mar-j Mar-j flhal Oyama of that bunch. So why I S" ho need to seek new honors In a wld that is not for him? H Sporting- "Notes. j'"? - Sullivan is still able to go some.
