BAIL JOUKNAL Mt SPORT Corbett Tells of NewrWhite Hope," Tom Cowler, a Giant Englishman BY JAMES J. CORBETT. Tormer Heavy-Weight Champion of the World. New York City, Jun. 30. (Written Specially for The Capital Journal) Well, hero in the story ot my "white hope" us much us I know ubout him. His name is Tom Cowler mid lie is un F.uglishmnn by birth, stands (I feet 2b ine.hea in his hole-proofs, nnd weighs in the neighborhood of z-u pounds. I inn not writing this n un advertise ment, but in response to numerous in quiries made by sporting writers and fans throughout the conutry since it was announced recently that I had tak en a muii under my wing for develop ment. Therefore anything I have to liny about him here I trust will be tak en by my renders in the spirit 1kam writing it as a matter of news and not an attempt to obtain some free ad vertising for my boxer. If be develops Into the man I confidently hope and predict his record will speak for itself and there will be no other boosting nee ossury. I first met Cowler about ft month ago, when he called on me at the stage door of I'antages theatre in Portland. Oregon. He asked me if I would look him over as ho wanted to learn more about boxing nnd believed I could tench him. His manner of talking and his actions Impressed me favorably, nnd it is no new matter for inc to tnlk with aspiring heavies, bclievo me. I have met them by the score since Jeffries' defeat by Johnson, of all shapes and sizes, weights and peculiarities. One or two of the more prominent of those now before the public asked me to take them hi charge several years ego. but none looked good enough in the crude stute to warrant giving up my time and attention in nn attempt to de velop the m. Their present standing in pugilism is proof that I made no mis take in passing them up. I took Cowler to n gymnasium in rortlainl and gave him a try-out. Ami in spiie'nf what those who may iniegine I am passe a boxer may say or think, it was a good workout. And tliis youngster, although very crude in the liuitter of buying, made u hit with all those present by bis actions, nnd stylo, and willingness and quickness to learn. I lost no time signing n con tract to take him with me on my Austrnliun trip next month. In Sin Frnmisco lust week I in ranged to give Cottier u good workout for the benefit of the newspaper writ ers und my old friends at the Olympic club an organization by the way that hua turned out many great boxers In tho past quarter uf a century. fowl er's opponent in a three round bout on thnt occasion wan liudie Peterson, a young heavy-weight who is being groomed for the ring by (ieorge (Ireen, tho original Young Corbett and a fa mous middleweight twenty years ago. Cowler toyed with retersoii nnd would unquestionably have stopped Green's fighter even in that limited apneo of time but for the fact thnt rotersnn fought nlinost entirely on the defensive, nnd at covering up is a bird. Hut read whnt one of the Frisco news paper experts has to sny about Cowler and tho bout with Peterson. This is from the Chronicle and one of the most conservative stories written of the try out: "Cowler is green, of course, but Ihero are many points In his favor. Taking the milling of yesterday purely on its merits and Cowler would Imve been returned the victor as he left n de cisive mark on Peterson's right eye and had the loo.nl man staggering around tho ring with none too clear an ideu of what was bnppennig. "Cowler i remarkably fast on hii foot for so big a mnn, and shapes up like a boxer. He Is fust with his punch es, and evidently carries a good one, although lie must needs learn soma ol the finer points ill delivering it with better effect. Peterson covered up con aidernble, so much so that Cowler eould do but little with his left and had t. await bla opportunities with a right up per out. "On the whole If lie Is brought along in easy style he may have a bright fu ture. And Jim Corbett is the best tutor In tho world," I leave for Australia on a vaudeville trip next month. I am taking Cowler with me as it will give me a great op portunity to work with him regularly, teach him what I can, nnd also give mc the ehaace to try him out thoroughly in regular tniCehc before bringing him back home to pit his skill against the best iu this cuuntry, "Soowcy" linker, the Australian promoter, has already communicated with me asking me to sign for a match or two between Cowl er and the best uf the big men over there, and just as soon a I have given Tom a thorough couching and have jml him through a systematic training course, I will see thnt he gets all the ring work he needs. Cowler Is no raw novice as lie has beea fighting about two years in F.ng land ami Canada. In fact, he has boxed with such men s Rnnihnhliur Wells, Frank Mornn, Inn Hague, (Ieorge Kodel, Denver Kd Martin and others of more or less notoriety. Cowler boxed he Bombardier, when a raw beginner, an eight round nedcelsion exhibition. He lost to Frnnk Mornn in icvmi rounds on a foul. He knocked out llndcl in six. fan Hague In eight, nnd Denver Kd Martin in two rounds. Ho my nnd NEWS lers wiM npreciate thnt it is not exact ly a raw recruit that I have token hold of. f- His record has been sent to my by a f riead, but I refer to it hero only to acquaint my friends with the fact that ' Cowler has been boxing with fairly S good men nnd haa not been beaten so far, with all his lack of experience. Iltou-evcr. li.u nrpvimm effort linvp cut no figure with me in sizing him up. It is what he will do in the future that will interest me from now on. But the fact thnt he has held his own since en tering the field and with comparatively no training is proof thnt he is made of pretty good stuff. I believe thnt he is one of the hard est natural hitters I have ever met up with. His blows apparently carry tho weight of a pile driver, But nt present he is too aggressive. He has been told in what little instruction ho hns picked up here and there to keep on top of his man all the time. Which is good advice at times, but not till the time. I will devote my time to tenching him how to mannge himself in the ring, when to cut loose nnd when to stand off. I will not attempt to teach him any method of boxing which will deprive, him of hiB wonderful hitting power, for that is a Datural asset which will win mnny ,battlcs for him in the future. Cowler doesn 't appear to need so ; very much to cope w ith his rivnls in i'the heavy-weight division. A little more experience coupled with the sys temntle, course of boxing lessons and conditioning I will give him ought to make him fit to face the best in the gnme in u year from now und with every chance for success. If it were put to a jury of boxing I experts 1 believe there would be" few jwho would vote against awarding Mike ! Gibbons the title of middle-weight i chnniiiion, Of courso some would dis sent, but a very small minority, and even they would huve to aduil'. that the St. Foul inixii nppeuis to be better equipped to take up the niidile-weight running where poor Stanley Ketchel left off by his untimely death. In the bout with Jimmy i lnliliy, pre viously regarded by many good judges as the best ninii in tho division, Gib bons proved that he is in a class by himself. While one or two remain who will hnve to take their medicine before Mike enn be proclaimed champion, 'the St. Paul inun would enter the ring to morrow a pronounced favorite over liny man In the middle-weight division. Home maintain that Al .McCoy is the rightful champion, thnt he won the title by stopping George Chip, but those who do so would have n hard time proving just how Chip ever came intu possession I'ariti I think. On I !ut I battle Klaus' and the latter bent Billy I'npke, In i'arls I think. On that abttlc Klnus' claim was bnsed, but ns n iiinttor m" fact Billy rnpko, did not hold the title at thnt time. Only oaco duriug his career Puplte was recognized as chain jiion when he stopped Ketchel in twelve rounds at I.os Angeles, but Stanley, like the great fighter he wiib had won it back in decisive style. If I'npke succeeded Ketchel, then Johnny Thompson, Bob Woha nnd Frank Jinn tell had better titles to the champion ship than Klaus as they had all earned decisions over the Illinois Thunderbolt ,beforo Frank had his chance. The truth of the matter is that I'apke was fin ished as a fighter of the first clnss be fore Frank Klaus ever met him. However, if Al McCoy wants any of Gibbons' game I imagine tho St. l'aul man would have no objection to giving the Brooklynite another boxing lesson. Mike and Al met nbout a yenr ago and Gibbons did everything but knock his man out. Fddie McOoorty probably has n bet ter claim on Gibbons than any nf the ptheis. Mike nnd Fddie boxed here several years ngo, and while it was an awful nffnir consideiing tho reputation of the men, whatever Illinois there were rested with the Oslikosh inun on his sgressiveness nccoliliug to the critics. Over in Australia they nr boosting a newcomer nnmed Mike King. King recently wns awarded a close decision over Jeff Smith, and ns tho same ref eree hnd previously given Smith a ver dict over Clubby, they are claiming the world's title for King. Hut according to comments by Australian writers the referee "pulled a bone" when he named King the victor just ns he had previously done by picking Smith ns the winner over Clubby. Judging by Clubby 's nnd Smith's form In this country I am Inclined to take the crit ics' end of the argument. To my mind Gibbons comes closer to the ideal champion thnn nny of his rivals. I do nut think there is a mnn anywhere near hli weight who can beat him over anv distance from six rounds up. If he meets McGonrly next month, ns has been announced, I look for hlin I to score even nn easier victory than that over labby, Gihons impresses me ns the best mid dle weight since the days of Tommy Kyan and Ilyan I nlwnys regarded one n'fthe greatest men of his weight li the liisturv of the ring.

A number of fine aintry-Uogs have left Mujor Richardson's kennels at Harrow, England, for service with the Uuglish army. This must bo the first time thnt the war office has furmally adopted the use of dogs for military work. Perhaps the experience of the Mouth African wnr converted them. These dogs arc not to be used for finding the wounded, but lor scouting and sentry work. They will accom pany isolated outposts, pickets and sol itary sentries. Their scent is often quicker than sight, and their hearing is sharper than that of the human sentry. In scouting tho dogs am taken on a long lead. They must be taught to growl, not to bark. If necessary, they must bo fitted with muzzle to prevent them from bin king. On sentry duty the dog nay be ullowed to bark so as to warn the sentry and the camp nt the same time. Iu tho South African wnr the Kng lish army hud no watch dogs of its ewa, but it often picked up nnd ndopt ed Boer dogs.
