JAMES J. CORBETT, after long years of retirement ffom the ring, has entered the Valhalla of sportsdom, there to join the other great champions of the past and live anew the glamor of unforgotten days. He leaves behind, in the hearts of millions, the memory of one of the greatest figures in the American sports world. And so today our spotlight travels back over the years, to recall the chief factors in the grand career of a grand sportsman. They called him "Gentleman Jim” when he first came into prominence, preaching a code of fighting that then was deemed ridiculous, in those days, the early nineties, the term “gentleman” was not meant as a compliment. It connoted, rather. a person of dandified airs. Corbett and his brand of scientific fighting were far removed from the stuff that fight champions were made of in those days. A champ., then, was a giant of a man. rough, tough, ready to demonstrate his prodigious strength at the drop of a bottle in a tar-room. Such a man was John L. Sullivan, as nobody dared deny. DECATUR A. C.'S ABE BEFEATED The Fort Wayne Chiefs evened* the count with the Decatur A. C.'s; Sunday night, defeating the local; independent team in a game played. at. the Catholic Community Center' in Fort Wayne, 28 to 24. The Chiefs piled up a 23 to 14 lead | in the first half hut the A. C.’s camoj back strong in the second period; and nearly pulled the game out of l the fire. Horton led both team.s in scoring with three field goals aud a Like number of foul Losse., fnt a total ot nine points. Gerber conneclod three times from Hie field for Decatur. Arnold and Miler led the Chiefs with three field goals each.

;! What, then, was the anguish of , a sporting world that idolized Sul- ’ livan, when it learned on September 8, 1892 (the fight was NOT broadcast) that on yesterday “GenI tieman Jim” Corbett had toppled - the Colossus, by boxing him cleverly and by using not a little of what later came to be known as psy- : i chology—together with a powerful ■ left jab. i . That anguish turned at first to ; i sneering distaste of the new chami pion; then, slowly and surely as - the wisdom of the Corbett code began to sink in—to a great love for ’ Jim Corbett that expanded stead- , ily through the years. t Corbett lost the title to Bob Fitzi simmons on March 17, 1897, at Car- ? son City, but by that time his ideals t of fighting fairly and scientifically - had become firmly entrenched in - the American tradition of the ring. - As a young, well-mannered bank > I clerk. Corbett had taken up boxing . 1 and fought his way to champion- , I ship. In that period he laid the , , foundation for modern methods of ? ■ training and fighting. Realization fi of the importance of footwork in i the ring, for example, dates from r - Corbett.

winning back his title than any other ex-champion in the heavyweight class. In 1900 at Coney Island, Corbett fought the then champion, Jim Jeffries, and for 23 of the scheduled 25 rounds he had Jeffries beaten, punishing him terrifically. In the twenty-third round Corbett assumed the fight was his and the championship rewon and he let his mind dwell on the , i posters he would use as the new ; champion. Jeffries had been throw’- I i ing left hnnks at him throughout ' the fight and not one had landed. ■ But suddenly one—just one—did land, and Corbett went down and out. A word about Corbett the man. The writer interviewed him a year i or so ago at his charming home in ■ Bayside, Long Island. He met the i | lovely Mrs. Corbett, and talked with . her and the former champion in : their well-kept garden. : Theirs Was a happy home, if ever ■ there was one.

Declaring that the allowance of her daughter, Lucetta, was insufficient for the girl’s needs, Mrs. Lucy Cotton Thomas, former stage beauty, recently petitioned the New York Surrogate Court to have the amou it increased from $3,000 to $3,800 per month. To the ordinary mo. 1.1 who must live on a lot less than that amount for a whole year, the situation ..lay seem a bit puzzling, but the affidavit of Mrs. Thomas, itemizing her daughter’s “absolutely necessary” expenditures for a single month, explains why $3,000 is not enough for a 7-year-old child to live on for f»ur weeks. A few of the items are shown above. The trust fund from which the income is derived was created by L.ucetta's grandfather, Charles Thomas, for her father Edward Russell Thomas, noted publisher and sportsman, who died in 1926. Mrs. Thomas has been married and divorced twice since then. Surrogate James A. Delehanty denied Mrs. Thomas’ petition for the increased allowance, ruling that Lucetta must balance her budget by cutting some of her expenditures. Mrs. Thomas averred that she cannot help her daughter, as she must struggle along on $20,000 a year herself.
