SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Jan. 18.— After twenty-five rounds of fighting, most of which was punctuated by ¢elinching and holding on, Referee Eddie Graney last night declared the battle between Willie Fitzgerald, of Brooklyn, and Willie Lewis, of New York, at Colma, a draw. Neither boy had a de- cided advantage, but Fitzgerald's a, gressiveness, many at the ringside be- lieved, should have gained him the ver- dict. ‘The New Yorker appeared larger than his opponent, and when they shaped up Jn the opening round he looked a win- ner. The great reputation which he earned in the East sa@ce his defeat at the hands of Rufe Turner, in Oakland, night. He was willing to hold on at all times, Referee Graney’s commands to break did not seem to have much effect when he gave them, and a little more physical activity on his part during the clinches would have tended to make more fighting, Lewis Appeared Heavier. When they shaped up in the opening round Lewis appeared to be a legiti- mate welter-welght, while Fitsgerald appeared several pounds lighter, In the first ten rounds Fitzgerald hed an easy at Herrera, banging him the body with a right swing. forcing him to break ground and run away. Corbett then got in two left swings to the Mex. foan’s stomach without a return. 4 moment later Herrera landed his left on Corbett’s head, and the Denver lad Janded a‘stiff right in the wind, Her- rera tried with his right for the jaw, but missed.

If not, what was the latter's real name? Yours truly, M. J. OWENS. Now, Mr. Owens, you've started the wheels of reminiscence going. The Young Corbett you Inquire of is ag Old Corbett now, and the younger Young Corbett 1s following in his foote steps. “It Is hardly fair to say that Young Corbett fought a preliminary to the Corbett-Fitzsimmons match” In fact, the latter fight was held first, at nooy, and in the afternoon the arena fille@ with a new crowd for the battles be- tween Young Corbett and Mysterious Billy Smith, and between Dal Hawkins and Martin Flaherty. : c This Young Corbett was Geotge Green. Green was a member of the Olympic Club of San Francisco, and be- gan fighting under the club colors, like Jimmy Britt to-day. He was a welters weight, and a cracking good one. He was clever, and he could punch. Devel- oping in the Olympic Club, where Jing Corbett started his fighting career, m& was quite natural that he should be spoken of as a young Corbett, and thes im time the name should stick to him He was the first “Young Corbett.” "Pp to the time of the Carson fight George Green had fo aut well all over the country, but fi 8 really his defeat of Mysterfous Billy Smith that made bim famous. He beat Smith in twelve rounds. Smith's arm was broken and he had to quit.
