CORBETT SHED TEARS WHEN WILLARD QUIT "Jim Corbett was in a seat near Jeas Willard's corner when the big Kansas cowboy lost his title to Demp- sey, and actually shed tears when Willard's seconds tossed up the towel as a signal of defeat,'"" writes the sporting editor of the Cincinnati En- quirer, "Jim thought that Jess was too big for Dempsey and was surpris- ed when Jack flattened out the Kan. sas farmer. "The writer was in a position to observe how a number of former champions acted under the excite- ment of the moment. Besides Corbett Jehnny Kilbane, Battling Nelson, Benny Leonard; Jack O'Brien, Fred- die Welsh and Johnny Coulon had seats at the ringside. It was while the battle raged that the writer gave each of the men the once over and observed the expression on their faces, Corbett fried to beat the heat by tying a silk handkerchief around his. neck. He fingered it nervously, with his eyes cast in the ring. He (shuffled about in his seat and crossed his knees half a dozen times. Then the strain became too inténse and (Jim had to stand up. He did not ut- ter a word at any time, but kept his 'eyes glued on Willard. When Wil- llard's seconds threw up the towel Jim turned his héad and tears were running down his cheeks. In his mind He propably could picture himself being knocked out at Carson City by Bob Fitzsimmons. Sympathy was plainly written on his face and he appeared to be deeply affected by the picture before him. Near Corbett stood his old manager, Billy Brady, who does" not bother much with the fighting game nowadays. Bill watch- ed all the proceedings, but did not get excited. Hg is an old hand at the game and does not fly off the handle very easily. Brady said to a friend after the fight that he was attracted to Toledo more out of curiosity than anything else. He was a bit put out Pecause the arena was not filled, but stated that no one would have to borrow money to pay bills. From his conversation Bredy thinks that it will be many moons before another such battle as this one will be staged in Ohlo. TO STUDY YACHTS, English Yacht Racing Association Sending Delegates Out.
