Corbclt tnty Unork out a good many men
In touch leu time thin It took him to put the
Iclbosn nn poor old John L but undeniable it
Ui that ho will never run up acslnst another
such a harmless and powerless pudding. All
too cuff that has bten published to the con
trary , John L , . Sullivan out un the sh&ODIcst
championship battle against Jaraos J. Cor-
belt In the annals ol the ring. lU wonder
ful etjclurnnco and the unmerciful pourdlng
that was required 10 lay him low , and the
fact that it was John U Sullivan who win
in the rlntr , alone made Coroott's victory
tolerable. As a pri/oH ht , It was a burlesque ,
* vo on Jim's tfart. Of course bi perform
ance was a revelation , and I wish to detract
nothing from bis credit In beating the one
roan who was foolishly considered by the
c ) > on.v world us invincible. Still nothing
Bon of an easy victory over Mitchell , Pete
Jackson or even tnn default champion , burly
Joe ( joddgrd , fill tatlsfy me that Corbett is
the pearlos com the rank and fllo In fancy
realms seem to think him. Mllcnell Is a at
opponent nd might beat him. Peter JacKiton
his equal If not his superior , ana Joe God-
dard , Uoti FiUilinmoiis and one or two more
who ralRDt be mentioned are fully qualified
to entertain him for an unlimited number of
rounds.
Still this Is far from sufficient to cause
Coroett to surrender all his rights and
privileges ana jump Into the ring and meet
the man every advertising agent In the
country sees proper to issue a challenge for.
CorDctl Is entitled to a reasonable interval
in whtcn to enjoy his great renown , ba that
au months , a je'ur or a year and u half. Just
Hi ho decrees , be will bo endorsed by a fair-
minded public and be looked uoon as the
, champion of champions until ho doffs that
aonor in the rlnR. That his holiday will be
inoro abbreviated than the general
public Imagines there is but little
doubt In icy mlud. Join's thirst for
the real excitement of the twonty-roiir fool
rlnc Is too ravishlnp to be lone endured.
Mark my words , the date of bis next flstic
meat.lnp will bo authentically announced ere
the bluebirds begin to pine their vernal lays.
Dick Moore , than whom no other fighter
lands bettor among the Omaha fancy , is
being handled , or U handling himself , very
badlv. Ho Is now matched to fight Honrv
Halicr , the Michigan heavyweight , for an in-
l mttcsnt uurse , some where near Chicago
the 19th of this month. This indis
criminate match-makinc for meal tickets is
what is going to lay Dick on the shelf.
'
Since he made his 'disastrous debut here
with Tim Nil and at South Omaha , a
.rear DUO , bo has fought a dozen
Minis or mfo nnd hasn't realized as many
hundred dollars out of all of them. He has en
dured some terrible beating * , too. In this go-
as-you-pleaeo , ( Icht-ut-tho-drop-oMho-hat
career , nnd the only redeeming feature conI I
neoletl with it , if It is a redeeming feature ,
is that bo has won every time be bas put up
bis hands with the slnglu exception above
mentioned. TbU be lost from.over-conQdenco
and ItcU of .training. Since then he bas
been seen twice by the local patrons and in
both Instances ho gave away pounds and
pounds In weight and yet was an easy vic
tor. Ha punched out P. J , ( Jnffln , the Dig
printer , nt South Omaha In the most ap
proved style , and before the Omaha Athletic
club made a rconkey out of Jack Ryan's
lubberly brother. Since then he baa
wlilpoed llenrv Baker , Tim Sul
livan , Joe Tansey , Billy Ulbbs ,
Wiley Evans , Joe Growler and a job
lot of other fighters and still his name has
never yet been mentioned in connection
ydtb n match before any of
( be big , legitimate sporting clubs. That
'Moore is deserving of a better fate no ono
will gainsay. He Is a square , honest fighter
and possessed of much more real worth tnan
be is generally accredited with. The wise
course for Die It to pursue "would bo to aban
don thu barnstorming , back-alley knocuout
program , pet a competent manager , make a
match before one of the rcputaolo clubs for
a purse worthy the distinction , -win it and
take a promenade on Easy avenue.
The Itrpetuous and the Impatient who ap-
lirebeud a long monotonous wait before they
will ba granted an opportunity of seeing
Champion Jim Corbelt in&idotbo rones again
are reckoning , I believe , without their host.
Tbe most imminent danger is that if the
tumorous process through which the cham
pion's uranium has been going since that
eventful September night at New Orleans
'Continues much longer tbora will not bo a
club homo in the land large enough to ac-
commodata its abnormal proportions. Other
wise there are not log cbaint enough in the
Michigan and Wisconsin pineries to bold him
back many more moons. Ho wants to tight
a good deal worse than the public
wants to ceo him. Already ho is
chafing under his onerous theatrical engage-
tnenla , and fretting to show the world what
0 smip he will bavo In knocking out any
body ! Already he says ho will loroswear
bis ponderous dramatic obligations to ac
commodate Charlie Mitchell , and would
condescend , out of pure magnanimity , to
twitch off from his histrionic lay'long
enough to pound the llttlo remaining Ufa lu
tbo great John L , out of him , that Is , of
course. If the big fellow should deslro to
thus em ) bis weary pilgrimage through this
vale of tears. Of all olburt , , a second match
Trlth the Boston boy is the nno Jam would
prefer there is no doubt about that , lie
rrroguizes cleany the dimensions of the pie
that would again be bit. Hut as to Mitchell.
1 think there is a string attached to a good
deal of his bombast. Prejudiced as the
American people are against Windy Cbarile ,
there are none so bigoltod , who know r.nv-
thlng about tne game , but who will freely
acknowledge that be is u great nghter , and
that If they ever meet ho will give Jem a
fight uud not a walkover.
Not to be critical , but to a man up a tree it
looks as If the Coney Island Athletic club
has been guilty of a rare piece ol extrava
gance In engaging big Joe Goddard. the
quasi-champion , and Peter Quitter Maner

claims on championship honor ? , nnd . .Manor
an undoubted dub , mio quitouforc a middle-
Vieight-n ten bis nose began to bleed. Tbo
less generously this stripn of bruisers is fos
tered thu better it will be for the game. The
Coney Island club , I believe , In bound to be
tbo club of the country , but it U establish

ThoChoyinskl-CJodfrev affair before the
Coney Island club last Monday night turned
out about as I thoucbt it would. It was an
other case of old ago and stateness succumb
ing to youth , strength and energy , and but
atTords another admonition for back num
bers to keep out of it. Still there is plenty
of good fight in Godfrey yet , as be Is an ex
ception to the general rulo. At 4'- last Mon
day night he wasn't as old in wear and tear as
John L. was at 34 on the 7th of September
last.
Omaha lovers of the manly art of self-de
fense will be afforded an opportunitv of seeing
some of the shining lights in this line this
winter. The Omaha Atnlotic club is making
arrangements for a serie * of exhtoltlons that
will give it high rank among the organiza
tions of this class. Negotiations for the in
itial performance are being made , a specific
announcement of which maybe expected
shortly after election.
It is a mistake about Jack Wllks , alias
Johnny Walker , being matched against
George Dawson. Thoie Frisco people are
nut as big jaya as they look , and Jack Wilks
couldn't cot bear mouoy out there for a fight
with any one. Dawson is matched with Doc
O'Connell of Boston , the roan whom Tommy
Hyan wanted the Omaha club to sign for a
fight with him. Dawson will win.

What a mere bajalelle $10,000 is TO most

on the sldo to this extent in every match
their names uro connected with.
Dinn.v Needbam is soreon the California
club for not giving him a second ch&noa to
tackle George Dawson. Instead of feeling
sore Danny should tender the clubmen a
vote of thanks.

Do you wish to know the quickest way to
cure a cold ! We will toll vou. To cure a
cold quickly It must bo treated before the
colil has become settled In the system. The
tint symptoms of a cold Is a dry , loud cougn
ana sneezing. The cough is soon followed
by watery expectoration and the stieeiing by
a profuse watery dltcoarga from the nose.
In severe cases there Is a thin white coating
on tbe tonguo. What to dot It is only nec
essary to take Chamberlain's Cough Itemed ?
in double doins everv hour. That will
greatly lessen tbe severity of the cold and in
rnanv casns will effectually counteract itand
cure what would have boon a severe cola
within ono or two days' time. Try It and be
convinced. i and 53 cent bottles for sale by
