Everyone who ever saw a prize fight, or had Bf ri III !wf a-relative who once saw a prize fight, has taken Hjftwlj IliitiMi R a 'hand in the speculation regarding whether Ed-Hi Ed-Hi i ffh I die Graney jobbed Young Corbetl in giving Britt Bran I I m Pn tlxe decIsJon ln tne recent fight. Most of the tal-Bilra tal-Bilra f ? m m ont wno saw tlie mil1 seem to think he did. It HWi1' '!i H assuredly looks as if the shouts about native Bjlii Um' if son had a sood deal to do with tlie decIsIon of 111 't'l MllH' I tlie CalIfornIa referee, as Corbett was as fresh I !l mm' I i as a June mornInB when the mill was over and I "JliM' I !

B Ifll flm IK I ?! ) II .Perry Queenan and Jack Clifford are training H ( US industriously for their coming mill, and as both IB have been in some recent walloping orgies, they .8: should be in exceedingly good fettle for the com- jfl! ing battle. Queenan, in his recent fight with 9 Sieger, administered much more drastic punish- jl ment to the Italian athlete than did one James llj Edward Britt, and Clifford considers that if he 1 defeats Queenan, which he expects to do, he will w be entitled to a hearing with any fighter at his R weight. jHf i i3 Hj There is much interest among fight fans over the contest between Battling Nelson and Spider w Welsh, which is billed for next Tuesday night at ffi the Salt Palace theater. It should be a grueling mill, as they are both sturdy fighters of reputation, reputa-tion, and each is ambitious to throw out a lariat lor the lightweight championship. The advance sale shows that an immense crowd will witness the fight. |
