THE EVENING WORLD, FRIDAY, JULY 8, 1 BEST SPORTING PAGE IN N RINGSIDE SKETCHES OF SMITH-WEINERT ' Copyright, 1916, by The Press Publishing Co. (The New York Evening World). EDITED BY ROBERT EDGREN CORBETT TOWN WITH HS WEN HEATER Tom Cowler, a Big English- man, Is Boxer Jim Is Groom- ing for Championship. EW YORK BOUT Jim Corbett, one-time heavyweight champion of the world and now # vaudeville actor, arrived in town this — morning from San Francisco. He had in tow Tom Cowler, a big, pleasant- faced lad, whom he thinks has the goods to win the champlonship away from Jess Willard. ‘Gentieman Jim’ pian to train Cowler until he has him in con- dition to battle for the world’s title. In the meanv hile hée Is going to start @ publicity campaign, which he thinks will land a match with the Kansan. Corbett has been away from these parts for many months. He toured the Western vaudeville wheel. While in Portland, Ore., he met Cowler. He Mked the way thegfellow disported himself in the gym, and he asked him to accompany him og his contem- plated trip to Australia. Cowler read- ily consented While in Australia Cowler scored three knockouts in as many bouts. He stopped Les O'Donnell in six rounds, Gordon Coghill in three and Bep Doyle in two. It was his showing in these bouts that convinced Corbett that Cowler has the makings of a champion anf also a huge fortune if he can whip Willard, Cowler was born in England of an Irish mother and a Welsh father. He has spent the greater part of the last three years in Portland, Ore. He is only twenty-three years old, weighs 208 pounds and is six feet two and a half inches tall. “We want Coffey first.” said Cor- bdett, “because I think he is the best of the fellows around here. By stop- ping him we can convince the public that Tom Is entitled to a match with Willard,’ Werery GAT A Few JAGS- Donovan Has Caldwell Primed to Work Against American League Star ——.—_ Yankee Leader Will Not Turn Loose His Champion Until, mer yerous shot Baried Gonna eo Walter Johnson Appears inj {ris weil worth patting tn the book.

What's the matter with trying out Bob Shawkey? Gallia pitched his best game of the year against the Yanks, and, as Roy Hartzeu delayed his daily home ruo until it too late to do us any good, here we are quarrelling, Of course, everything will be all right Monday when the Yanks have nobody but the Athletics to beat, but these three games in two days with Griff is what's wearing down our pitching! pn, staff now. It takes just as good & pitcher, you know, to beat a vad team as it does @ good one, Outside of Brooklyn the baseball situation to-day Is not altogether a happy one for New York. While the Yanks were being spanked by the fenators, Robbie's Dodgers up and tore the hide off Big Jeff Tesreau— just when the Giants had another chance to jump ahead of the Bra Bull, there is a silver lining to every cloud, and the Phillies again proved our friend. They cleaned up the Braves nicely, making it again pos- sible for McGraw and his men to lump in front if they can only beat Prockiyn.
