Jim Corbett trained down to 176 or 180 da would be a faster man than he will heavier noteh, and he will fast enough as it is to give “Jumping Jack” the livelfest time he ever d in the ring. Corbett was the fastest big man that ever cntered the arena, In his fights he had the Philadelphia spectre beaten a biock for epeed. He his agility unimpaired until his last fight with Jeffries, and then! tt slowed up.

He fought three rounds just as Corbett did at Carson, jab- Fits all over the ring, making a show of the veteran.
