Show FIGHTERS MJST HOT GO INTO THE TOWN A clause In the contract between Brltt and Corbett and the Hayes Valley club is exciting a lot of comment. It la stipulated that neither man shall leave his training: Quarters for three weeks prior to the fight under penalty of forfeiting for-feiting 1500. This does not apply to road work, but means that the men can cot come Into town. Appearance forfeits and weight for-. for-. felts have become common in the fighting fight-ing game, but the stay-at-home forfeit is a new one on the pugs. It is supposed sup-posed that It was put Into the contract to protect the club, against Corbett's well-known propensity for fast company, com-pany, but If he really la determined to break training he can have the company com-pany come to him Instead of ' going to the company. He is, however, doing lots of road work and Is rapidly getting rid of the pouter pigeon effect which he wore when he started training. 1 |
