Bota Xen Confident. -Both McOovern and Corbett are ae renely confident From their atandpolnt It la Impossible to aee how the other can win. Corbett says that he haa but to make a face at "Terry" In order to make the ex-champion craxy aa a bull, and then the trouble for tha Brooklyn- It will begin in earnest McOovern claim that he haa tested htmaelf fully tlnce he lan met Corbett. and learned that he can eaally control himself, hav ing no fear of becoming rattled In the lightest A etory that emanated from Denver, to die effect that tha fight had been txed. created no end of comment in the porting circle of San Francisco and ither cltlea. When asked concerning the umor. "Young" Corbett aald: 'The whole story Is a lie. pure and imple, and It originates with somebody rho is trying to take the bread and utter out of my mouth. But t am not iurprlsed. and particularly at the story coming from Denver. The people in that town have thrown ma down more than one. I will never fight ther again. All the money In the world could not make me lay down to McOovern. a man whom I hate from the ground up. I will go to the ringside and fight next Tueaday light In Mechanics' Pavilion even If ;here Is only 150 In the house. And I plU make the specified weight, besides. l'ou can just put it down that I wouldn't pe out on the road working In tha rain If there waa to be any fake about tha fight. I have placed In the hands of Mr. Naughton of The Examiner 12,600 to in sure my appearance In the ring next Tuesday night at 127 pounda. "Now, 1 11 tell you what I will do. That S2.500 may remain In the hand of Mr. Naughton, and If he. after witness ing next Tuesday night's battle, is in clined to believe there haa been a fake, then the money is at his disposal to turn over to some, deserving charity." Sam Harris, McOovern' manager, when seen regarding tha story that "Young" Corbett is to receive 118,000 to lie down in the fight next Tuesday night, aald: 'That tory la absolutely ridiculous. ,1 cannot imagine where it originated, but I am certain that it waa done with the view of making McOovern a redhot favorite In the betting. Such atorle are a bit discouraging and are mali ciously circulated to influence the bet ting." What Corbatt Thinks. In speaking of hi condition and chances, the champion aald: "I guess Terry mean it all right but he will forget all about it when the trouble begins. I think I have Mc Oovern sized up pretty well, and I be lieve all I have to do 1 to make a face at him In order to make him tear in like a wild man. Leaving aalde Terry' impetuous nature, thev can't nv . believe that a man who hna maA hi. reputation through whirlwind fighting can alter his style and make a success of clever boXiny. I know that one time I used to be what thev call rin.h.i. fighter. I did my beet work at long range. I saw a few fight In which the victory was won by rough. fat work, and I adopted that style of fighting I met with success at it. That was a case of a clever, careful fighter being trans formed into. a fast fighter, but I cannot conceive how a hurricane fighter can Iter his style and become careful or clever. That is what Terry will have V " iouows uie program he ha ' - - w.wvi wa W 111 DUT lift me fast rounds. Just aa man a tne nght 1 long. I think it m v a clean fight.

No Game With Timers. It haa been learned at Columbia Uni versity from on who 1 closely identi fied with the university's football In teresU. that there will be no game with Princeton next fall. There ha been no disagreement between the two institu tions, nor 1 there any 111-feellng what ever, the game having been abandoned by mutual consent In the interest of the two college schedule. Ever since It waa announced that Columbia had arranged to play Yale again this year tha managers feared that, with the reg ular game with Pennsylvania, Annap olis and Brown, tha continuance of the Princeton game would make the sched ule too saver and would be a repetition of Columbia's mistake in former year in attempting too many hard games. .Princeton also was very anxious to continue the game, because the Tiger have attributed their defeat by Yale to the severe game with Columbia, which resulted in injuries to Kafer and Burke, compelling them to retire for the sea son. ' ' The appended notice .which appeared In tha alleged sporting column of a local contemporary on Saturday 1 to mislead ing that a correction la necessary in order to set the matter' aright: 'Tha fight following that between Carter and Reilly will likely be between Joe Oan and Tommy Traoey. The two men have practically agreed on weight, and as Oans Is really entitled to the Hghtwelght championship, because Britt will not match himself against a col ored man, the match will be an interest ing one. Tracey has not been seen In the ring for some time, and the boys are anxious to aee him work again, and Oana la rated so high that he will be a good drawing card for the Paatlma Club." The facta are that Oana' term have not met the approval of the local club. and negotiations have been opened with Marvin Smith of Buffalo, N. Y as to Matty Matthews and Traoey meeting In thla city to decide the welterweight champlonahlp after "Kid" Carter and Tommy Reilly meet. Its sister in the "trust" in yesterday morning's issue, in speaking of the ref eree who was to officiate In the McOov- ern-Corbett 127-pound (not feather weight championship) battle: 'The pug ilists had agreed on Harry Corbett," etc. The Journal on Saturday evening, In a San Francisco special, positively stated that Eddl Qraney had been mutually agreed on aa referee. Dr. Savage Leaves Columbia. Dr. Watson Lewis Savage, who ha served aa director of tha gymnasium at Columbia University since the removal of the Institution to its new site. In 1886, ha resigned hi poaitlon and will leave tha university in the fall. Dr. Savage will remain throughout the sum mer session, however, to give hi an nounced courses - In gymnastics and physical education. His loss will be se verely felt by ths student at Colum bla, as h has aided the athletic move ments at all tlraea. It la thought Dr. Oeorge C Meylan of Boston, who Was recently called to Columbia to be med lcai aaviser and adjunct professor of pnysioai education, win be appointed to ucceea zr. -savag as tha regular di rector or the university gymnasium. m A'bioa Boys Victorous. The Albtna boys met and defeated the Multnomah boys in ' an exciting game of baseball yesterday afternoon at Commercial and Beech street. The contest was spectacular throughout, and received flattering applause from the bleachers. The defeat of the Multno mah sluggers may be attributed to tha excellent work of Walter Costello, who played like an Indian warrior. Cos tello owes milch of his baseball ability to the secret practices that he ha had with Oeorge Lollock In the rear of hi own back yard. "Ole Home officiated a referee, but hi ruling would never warrant any one believing that he waa poasesaed of second sight Oeorge Boggs twirled xor Aioiria anjd the result of hi excel lent work in the box Is displayed the score of 19 to 8.

Here are opinions of some of the most prominent experts: Tom Sharkey Corbett appears to be all out. The climate out on the coast. I think, will agree with McOovern bet ter than with Corbett. Sara Austin McGovern has come back to his old form and will win sure. The bout will go about twelve rounds. Tom O'Rourke McOovern will win In four rounds. Corbett's showing with the second-rater proves he Is not aa good a fighter as he waa a year ago. Oeorge Consldlne Corbett will win In about six rounds. Corbett 1 the ring general. Johnny Consldlne Corbett is too clever for McGovern. It will be a short fight. ' Kid McCoy It will be a hard fight, a the boy are evenly matched. Corbett however, has a better head than Mc Govern. John Kelly corbett will carry my money. Tom Jenkins Corbett will win. The fight will not go more than ten round. Martin Julian Corbett Is my choice. He should linlah Terry In eight or ten rounds. Jimmy Wakely Corbett has a shade the best on farm. . Let the fight pass as a betting proposition. McGovern la a bad man to bet against. Marcus Mayer Corbett will defeat McGovern In about ten rounds.
