But Mc- Govern don't want to train down to the feather-weight standard, He can't do it and win against a good man. “CORBETT” THE BETTER MAN. “When it comes to comparing McGovern and ‘Corbett’ I'll say that I just need two days to train for a six-round bout with Terry, when I want three weeks to get fit to go up against ‘Corbett.’ A man has got to be fit when he gocs up against a fighter with a punch, and that's what ‘Corbett’ has got and Terry hasn't. ‘Then ‘Corbett’ can fight with both hands at long range, and McGovern punches ke @ blind man when you keep him off. He haa got to get in on you to moro than tap you, ‘ay, this San Francisco ‘kid,’ Hanlon, mvust be all to the good to stand ‘Cor- bett’ the way he did, for I know how lhe can deliver the goods, and just keep that In mind. If Hanlon has got a punch he ought to make good agains: the best in his class. Nobody ever heard much about him and the fights he has had were only against second raters, and they say in some of those he didn't loom up with too many spangles on, But he's discovered now and has made a good start. “If he can keep it up he's going to bud out Into a real scrapper. He's got to do a lot of tall brutging Hast, though, before they label him as the real goods, for ‘Corbett’ might have been a little off Thursday night. He's got a ripe chance to ake @ lot of good matches now with as good men as ever put up two hands, [f he can face ‘Corbett's' right and left for twenty rounds then I'd be willing to bet ho can lick McGovern in ten if he can put in any kind of a swift jab and don't let Teddy get in too close, “They talk about McGovern getting back to his old form. Why, he never was as good @ man aa ‘Corbett’ in his life, and never will be, and don’t you for- yset it” put him down and out. I was a Uttle bit In a hurry, though, and let him rope me into clinches.
