was one ot the greatest fighters ot his day He was the first to put Young Corbett on the fluor for a long count after Corbett had become famous through knocking out the great Terry Mc Govern Ifknlon was only 16 years old when ha fought Young Corbett At that Hine the little Denver cham pion was one of the greatest fight era aen In many years He was a little John Sullivan In build hig flsted and as powerful as a middle weight above the waist Cold cal culating absolutely self confident and a tremendous hitter he was far too formidable an opponent for the best In the featherweight class and when he fought Hanlon was cunsidered a match for any light weight In the world Wfut to the Const Corbett went to the Pacific coast not long after he knocked out Terry McGovern in the famous Thanksgiv ing day battle at Hartford Corbett never was a featherweight during his best fighting days nnd never was featherweight cham pion for he met McGovern Rt weight several pounds over the feather limit of 122 pounds ringside and In later fights was still heavier But he was a wonderful little fighting machine at any weight So when lie was matched against Ed die Hanlon at that time the most promising youngster on the coast few' people thought that Eddie could do more than fight a stubborn los ing battle When Hanlon and Corbett enter ed the ring Coibctt shook hands in a patronizing way and wished Ed die luck lie hardly thought it nec essary to try to overawe Hanlon and hls betore the fight as he did In other Important en counters for he was sure the bout would be simply another easy way to pick up a few thousand dollars Imagine surprise then when young Eddie Hanlon met rush with rush and blow with biow not only in the first but in round after round as the fight progressed Tho 16 ycar old boy was standing up to the conqueror of McGovern And the thousands of friends who had watched the be ginning of the battle tn silence fearing that the youngster would full victim to heavy slug ging before many rounds had pass ed were nearly raising the roof withtheir roars of encouragement Hanlon Corbett The fight went on see saw fash ion until tho eighteenth round Then the sensational thing hap pened It was In a rushing slam ming mix tip when Corbett was desperately trying to finish Hanlon before the twenty round limit had been reached that Eddie crossed his right fairly on tho tip of sturdy Jaw Corbett went down ns If ho had been struck with a hammer He fell flat on his face and as the referee told off the long count Corbett did nut even move His manager and seconds rushed frantically along the side of the ring shouting to him but he seemed senseless to all ad vice Tho end of the count was nearly reached when Harry Tuthill his faithful trainer and second In many fights reached' through the ropes ami struck Corbett between the shoulders with a large sponge saturated with Ire cold water The shock brought him to eonseluusness Champions Are Called Out for irst

and even then he was great In defeat McGov ern was trying desperately to "come as a champion full of ambi tion to fight Corbett again and knock hlin out He rushed Hanlon furiously and was met with blow for blow Hanlon was fighting like a champion and had put Terry down twlcd for a nine second count when Terry landed one ot his terrific swings and sent Hanlon reeling to the ropes where he dangled helpless ly refusing to go down under a storm of blows until the referee stepped in and stopped the fight Hanlon came near taking Battling Nelson's place In the championship line giving Nelson

whether Earning decisive ly whipped tho Colts or If the Hed and Gray falls to tho scrubs dally' this week they will be just as anxious to scalp them when thev collide at Goldberg field either Thanksgiving day or the Saturday following a grudge fight and former games of tho year go for naught Victory over Northwestern will make the season a successful one from an Indian point of view and
