Corbett! therweight during his best fighting dayg, and never wae world’s featherweight chgmpton, for he met McGovern at a weight several never wae a! pounds over the featber limit of 122 was still heavier. But he was a wonderful little 1¢ht-@—=———————————— ng machine at any weight. So when he was matched against Eddie Han- fon, at that time the most promising youngster on the Coast, few people thought that Eddie could do more than fight a stubborn losing battle. Compared to the older and more experienced Corbett little Eddie was vimost a novice, He was a hand some, cherublc looking youngster, with none of the marks of a fighter except a serious and determined tnanner and a sturdy build. He ne er talked about fighting or wore the padded shoulders so popular in his Profession at that time, and his cir- cle of friends was made up of oarsmen and amateur ath fact he was brought out, as an ama- deur buxer, by bob McAruhur, thon & famwus oaraman and heider of middie distance running records. When Hanion and Mbett entered ehe ring Corbett shovk hands in a , and wished Hddi thought it necessar to try to overawe Hanlon and “Ke his goat” beiore the fight, as he div in other important encounters, for h was sure the bout would be simpli, another easy way to pick up a few thousand dollars. When Corbet fought MoGovern at Hartford he wen round to Terry's dressing room, on the way to the ring, pounded on the door and shouted: “Come on out you Terry, and take your licking.” He didn't do anything like this with Ha jon, It was too easy. Imagine Corbett’s’ surprise, then, when young Exldie Hanion met rush with rush and blow with blow, not only in the first round, but in round after round as the fight progressed. ‘The sixtecn-year-old boy was stand- ing up to the conqueror of MoGovern, And the thousunds of Hanlon s friends, who had watched the be! ning of the battle in silence, fearing that the youngster would fall victim to Corbett's heavy slugging before inany rounds had passed, were nearly vaising the roof with their roars of encouragement, How Hanlon “Flattened” Young Corbett. The fight went on, see-saw fashica, unif the exguteenth round, Then (ho sensational ting happened, it was in & rushing, sunning muxUp, when Corbett was desperately ying to nn- wh Hanlon before the twenty-round limit had been reached, that Eddi. crossed his right fairly on the tip of Conbett's s\uidy jaw, Comet went down as if been struck with a hammer, lie (il fat on his face, ana as the reicced told off the long count Corbett qun't even move.

But he didn't have the chance. His path led to batties with Jimmy Britt and Battling Nelson, two of the three best | lightweights in the world at that time. | Britt broke his spirit by outpointing him, and Nelson twice knocked him out—which Was practically the end of Young Corbett as a great fighter. As for Eddie Hanlon, he went East and fought lke a champion. [ saw him in his first reverse, when he lost to Terry McGovern, and even then he was great in defeat. McGovern was trying desperately to “come back” a8 a champion, full of ambition to fight Corbett ogain and knock him out, He! rushed Hanlon furiously, and was met! ith blow for blow. Hanlon was fighting like a champion, and had put verny wown twice for a nine second count, when Terry landed one of his terrific swings and sent Hanlon reel- ng to the ropes, where he dangled elplessly, refusing to go down under a storm of blows, until the re tep,ed in and stopped the .
