Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS
NEW YORK, Sept. 17.—Young Corbett the Third made his bend here last week in the exclusive Rickardian cauliflower patch, winning a twelve-round boo-boo-boo over SergC Sammy Baker, the wearyfaced Mitchel field sock absorber. Old Corbett the First—meaning the venerable James J., immortal
conquereror of John L. Sullivan, and inspiration of all the other fighting Cor betts that have come along since sat at the ringside, and saw the Fresno i Cal.) Italian in labored action. You couldn’t tell from the rather fixed expression on the original Corbett's fact just what he thought

Joe Williams
of the western newsboy who had taken his name, for better or worse, into what the boys, used to call the Queensberry wars. There wasn’t much about this new Corbett that was reminiscent of the old Corbett. To regin with he’s one of those southpaw fellows that stand up straight and lead with their right hands. He has none of the footwork, speed or boxing finesse that made Gentleman Jim at once the marvel and curiosity of the gay nineties.
nun \ On the contrary, he’s a sluggish battler. You might even say he’s a sluggish slugger. He came here rated as one of the present day welters. He probably could be that without being great. Not a few of the Sergeant’s friends and relatives thought he had beaten the invader. n n it 1 PROBABLY would have thought so myself if it hadn’t been for the knockdown Corbett scored in the seventh to produce the only flash of excitement in the fight. I wondered what memories drifted across the mind of Corbett the first as he sat there at the ringside watching the stricken Baker struggle to get up, for the punch that dropped him was an exact rep’ica of the famous solar plexus jolt that took the title away from Gentleman Jim at Carson City. Corbett and Baker were mixing it at close range near the ropes. Baker missed with a right swing to the head and as he did Corbett stepped in and landed a perfect hit with his powerful left to the pit of the Sergeant’s stomach. tt tt tt There was nothing low or illegal about the blow] It was to repeat a perfect solar plexus, an unretouched print from the original with which old Bob Fitzsimmons knocked out Gentleman Jim a long, long time ago to become the third heavyweight champion of America. t> tt a IT was the first one of its species, in point of technique, finish and artistry, that has been uncovered in the Garden in months, and it was a capricious fate that lured the game’s first recorded victim of the punch to the ringside to see it come off. “What do you think of your namesake?” Corbett the first was asked after the fight. “Well, he seems to be able to punch a little,” the veteran answered, “especially with that left hand of his.” And that, on the basis of what the young man showed is about all you can say for him—he can punch a little with that left of his, though the sergeant, reflectingg on the agouies of the seventh round, might insist that he can punch a lot with it.
Big Ten and Other Grid Players Hard at Work on New Campaign Coach Clark Sees Bright Outlook at Butler; Indiana and Purdue Have Large Squads Practicing.
By DICK MILLER . College football in the mid-west opened its practice season officially I Saturday in spite of the fact interest on the part of the sport fan was lacking. With torrid weather on tap and baseball pennant chases even hotter, there was little chance of football taking a headline position. Big Ten teams, regulated by a ruling, can not put on the mole skins until Sept. 15. Teams that compete with them follow the same rule. George “Potsy” Clark ran his Butler hopefuls of Indianapolis through two workouts at the new Stadium field on W. Forty-Ninth St. Clark with a group of veterans and a pretentious layout of last year’s freshmen, has high hopes of coming out of an eight game campaign this fall with five and maybe six victories. The first bear story of the season comes from South Bend, where Knute Rockne is supposed to be Worrying trying to find an aggregation that will mould around a few regulars from last year. Eighty candidates were out at Lafayette when James Phelan, the Black and Gold mentor, held his first workout. Among the squad were plenty of veterans, including the famous Ralph “Pest” Welch. “Five varsity squads appear for opening practice,” reads a dispatch from Bloomington, where Coach Pat Page is starting his third season. When one hears that Pat has fifty-five candidates, and most of them good ones, the opinion arises that Indiana may offer some upsets this fall. Illinois, the 1027 Big Ten champion. is hard at it. Coach Robert Zuppke takes the limelight doped to spring some sensational backward and lateral pass attacks. Thirty-seven years ago Alonzo A.

The third annual Indianapolis District Golf Association tournament, successoi the old “city meet,” got under way today at Highland where the first leg of a 54hole championship was played The schedule calls for eighteen holes to day, eighteen Tuesday at the Indianapolis Country Club and eighteen Wednesday at Broadmoor. Numerous prizes are at stake for both low gross and net scores. Eddie Zimmer of tne I. C. C. is defending champion. The fact that he fell before Frank Shields in the Indianapolis Athletic Club tournament last Friday led some dopesters to predict he would be supplanted as champion of the I. D. G. A. Will Diddel, representing Meridian Hills, also is a favorite. The district association takes in a radius of 60 miles and players inside that zone may enter even though they do not belong to the association. Carl Hermany, Hal Holmes and O. Straus represent an old guard at the South Grove links. It was not until Sunday they witnessed a “hole in one” among them. Charles Price reached the coveted goal of golfers when he shot from the eighth tee on the difficult water hole and I his ball rolled into the cup for an “ace.” Shooting over the aqua is tough enough for most players, but to crash through with an “ace” is plenty hot. Holmes, Hermany and Straus said.

The Betzelites took a well-earned rest today but will resume hostilities against the Stengelites Tuesday. Minneapolis was to play the Blues again today, however, and will tie the Hoosiers if a victory is scored. Last Week of Race Asa result of the feat of the Tribesmen in reaching the A. A. top again, the last week of the race is expected to be productive of some exciting baseball. Indianapolis has seven more contests to play, two with the Hens here and five with the same club at Indianapolis. Minneapolis has eight games remaining, two with Kansas City and six with Milwaukee. In the series opener here Saturday the Indians lost, 8 to 7, after establishing a six-run lead. The Hens kept working on Ferd Schupp and finally knocked him out in the ninth, and it was Manager Casey Stengel, acting as a pinch hitter, who drove home the winning run for Toledo. 15 Hits, 11 Runs Both teams hit hard in the first tilt of Sunday’s twin bill, but Yde was successful in scattering the Hen hits and Indianapolis won, 11 to 4, by collecting fifteen safe swats. Toledo committed four errors while the Tribe gave Yde faultless support. In the wind-up fray Sunday the Indians won, 8 to 2, on eight hits Toledo being charged with nine miscues.

Home runs by Holke and Koenecke in the first game Sunday and Blenkiron In the second featured the Hoosier attack. The Hoosiers didn’t wait long to sew up the first game. They hopped on Gob Buckeye for five hits which, coupled with three Toledo misplays, gave them six tallies, enough to win the game in the first inning. Wid Matthews smashed the first pitched ball past Koehler for a base and rode home on Haney’s drive for three sacks. Koenecke’s single scored Haney and Spencer’s double sent Koenecke to third, from where he checked in when Veach juggled the ball.
Spencer checked in on Holke’s single and Warstler, who had reached first on Rawling’s error, scored as Yde’s grounder got through Koehler. Holke scored on the same boot. Walter Holke was the big gunner for the Hoosiers in the first game. He got four hits in as many times at bat, his list including a home run, double and two singles. Koenecke also hit for the circuit and collected three hits out of four plate trips. Spencer got three bingles, one a double, and Matthews got a set of singles for other Indian top hitters. Buddy Connolly turned in the day’s best yielding feature for the visitors, making a fine stop and throw on Rawlings’ grounder in the ninth. The second inning of the second game Sunday was a replica of th first frame of the opener, with the Hoosiers scoring five runs on four hits and three Toledo errors. In the stampede, Buddy Connolly contributed a double, while Toledo’s Jordan uncorked two wild throws that aided in the Hoosier scoring. Bill Walker, southpaw from the New York Giants, started for Toledo, but went to the showers in the second inning. Barnes succeeded him, when the Indians began to patter plateward.
