THE SCR ANTON TRIBUNE-WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 23, 181)8.
CORBETT IS
DEFEATED
Concluded from I'flife 1.
those who had not made early provi
sion had to pay exorbitant jiileos to
the wide awake speculators, who snnp
ped up the best seats eaily In the
Katne. Tickets for scats In the Im
mediate vicinity of the ring brought
fabulous prices tonight. The original
cost of these paste boards wis twen
ty dollars each, but ihen twice that
Hum could not purchase one of tlii'in
In two instances they brought $100
apiece. The other tickets, eostlnff
from to to $1,1, brought prices Increased
two and throe fold and the club niuii
ngcnient did not put any of the 3 ad
mission tickets on sale. The anxious
sports who clamored at the entrance!
plutlly paid SZ and In many Instances
.fs for the privilege of standing up at
the cxtietne ends of the building.
The club bouse Is not very well
ndapled for pugilistic encounters, as
5t Is long and narrow, having been
built for nn lco skating rink. The ring
It pitched In the center of the house
and the boxes are built around It. On
each each of the box Inclosure tier
upon tier of chairs ore ranged on n
gradually Inclined structure which
very nearly touches the root f
the building at both ends. On
each stde of the structure are large
jullerlcs running nearly the entire
length of the house and these elevated
places were partitioned Into Finnll
boxes, which vcie eonsldeied the best
of vantage. The view from any part
of the building was tinobsttucted.
The doors of the big building vor;
thrown' open shortly after five o'clock.
'At that early hour hundreds of people
were waiting patiently In front of the
I'lub boue on Lexington avenue. An
noon ns the first comers pissed through
the turnstiles other took their places
on the outside and this continued for
over three hour. The crouds were
kept in check by a large force ot
1'Ollee.
AVIiIlc the croud was a large one, it
was never beyond the control ot tli"
police and In fact was not as Johm as
the authorities expected.
Inside the building all was bustle
and excitment, but at S o'clock the
house was scarcely half tilled. TIiIm
was easily accounted for by the fact
that the big event was not scheduled
to take place until about ten o'clock,
the holders of coupons for reset ved
scats Mere Ir. no hurry to get up town
In he cooped up for any unnecessary
length of time. The gambling Instinct
which Is a necessarw adjunct to all
manner ot fistic contests was In evl
dinre as soon as the sports began to
gilthcr In the bo.es.
COKBKTT STOCK HIOH.
Corbctt's stock was always In pref
etence and the odds on the Callfornian
opened at 100 to SO. The betting did
not take on ns lively a turn as on
former occasions when lighters of less
note have met In this arena.
So much betting had been done dur
ing the last forty-eight hours, how
ever, In the ."porting resoits through
out the city that the slackness of the
wagering on the spot did not Indicate
any loss of Interest in the heavy weight
bout.
A few minutes before S o'clock those
Inside the building beard loud cheer
ing nnd the word was passed around
that some one of Importance had ar
llved. This was true. It was Sharkey
who received the ovation as be drove
up to the club house accompanied by
holiday Talk
Not too early to consider this prop
ositionChristmas is only some six
weeks forward. The holidays have
a direct bearing upon our business.
They create a demand for special
lines the many lines of novelties
and novel wares for gift usages.
Hence the special efforts that
have been put forth months ago
and are now being put forth to make
this year's collection and display
unprecedented.
It's too early to speak in detail of
the many lines, so only this men
tion of some of the exclusive sorts
that were gathered by our buyer
while on the continent during the
summer, and which are now receiv
ing here, for the first time, the
light of day on American soil.
There are Bronzes, Leathers and
Dresdens from Germany; Hand
Painted Toilet Articles, Nic-Nacs
and Jewelry from France; Ivory,
Cut Glass, Silver and Gun Metal
Novelties from England. All the
important art centers of the old
world have representatives in this
veritable pan-municipal show. It's
a duty owing to yourself to see ths
vast collectiou of Statuettes, Busts,
Vases, Toilet Things and Table Ar
ticles. It's not a good time to cry of
prices art is not measured by dol
lars and cents. Therefore it's in
consistent to shout "Cheap!
Cheap !" in the same breath with
"Finest and Best." Yet in truth
we hold the matter of price as
highly important.
There is no sentimentality in our
prices each mark is based on a
business percentage of the cost.and
the goods cost less than you ex
pectthat's triumph enough.
About Gloves
Dent Walking Gloves for wo
men's street wear are herein splen
did assortment of new shades, and
priced lower than the askings of
Dent's accredited New York agents.
BUT if you are satisfied with a
$i.oo glove you'll be satisfied with
no other if you once wear OUR
DOLLAR GLOVE. Made to fit,
wear ami look like a celebrated
make at a half more than our gi.oo
asking.

NO WASTE OF WORDS.
Evidence Which Is Itlght to the

Hy half past 8 o'clock nearly every
seat In the house was occupied. Hank
ers and brokers were In prominence,
lawyers of note nnd business men.
lepresentlng neatly every phase of
trade, mingled with well known politi
cians nnd held unlimited conversa
tions In close proximity to the ring
side. One well known member of the
produce exchange took the Sliaikey
end of one of the laigest wagcrn of
the night which was Jl.r.OO to $1,300 on
Corbctt. Joe Vendlg Inid the odds on
the Callforulaii.
The llrst of the two preliminary
bouts was begun at S.-l.' o'tloek. The
principals weie two local boxers, Jnck
Sullivan and Cluuley Schultz, who
were announced to go ten rounds at
13."i pounds.
This proved to be a slugging match,
utterly devoid of science. It was full
of ginger, however, and amused the
spectatois, who laughed heartily at
the clumsy but earnest woik of both
men.
The men had hardly shaped them
selves for the seventh round when
Schultz put off n straight tight hand
smash full on Sullivan's .law which
put him down and practically out.
The referee, Charley White, then hu
manely stopped the bout and declared
Schultz the winner.
KID M'COY IN DISC.CISi:.
Dutlng the progress of this bout there
was a commotion In a box at the
ringside. Kid McCoy, the pugilist who
Is to meet Peter Maher at Coney Isl
and next month, had gained admis
sion to the arena disguised with false
black whiskers and moustache. Some
days ago Tom O'Hourke, the manager
of the club, forbade McCoy the pilv
llege of entering the club house, al
though the "Kid" had been engaged by
a morning newspaper to write the story
of the big light. A careful watch was
kept by the men on the door so that
he could not get in, but he cleverly
battled the vigilance with his disguise.
As soon as he took his seat nt the
ringside McCoy was recognized and he
removed his hirsute appendages.
Detectives Sergeant Armstrong or
dered McCoy to leave the building, but
the "Kid" refused. Then Armstrong
and Detective Mulhollnnd urged Mc
Coy to leave and caught hlin by the
arms, nt the same time pushing him
through the crowd. McCoy left very
reluctantly, protesting ns he went. The
officers left McCoy nt the entrance to
the building nnd he walked out on
Lexington avenue. As be passed each
door on his way out McCoy demanded
a pass-out check nnd was accommo
dated. The Incident caused a good
deal of excitement but the spectators
soon settled back In their seats and
forgot the little episode.
SHCOND PHULIMINAHY.
The second preliminary bout brought
"Kid" Harris, of Chicago, and Charley
Hoden, of Jersey City, together. They
boxed at 10S pounds. Harris had the
advantage In height and leach, but
Hoden made up for this advantage with
a wonderful supply of pluck nnd ug
gresslveness. Hoden was overmatched from the
start. In the ninth round Harris
about knocked him off his feet with
a right cross on the Jaw. arrls then
went nfter his man and had him reel
ing when the gong sounded with lefts
and lights on both Jaws. AVhen Hoden
went to his coiner it was found that his
Jaw was broken, and Charley White
stopped the bout then and there and
awarded the fight to Harris,
During the Intervul between the
Harrls-Hoden bout and the nnlvul of
the big fellows betting of the liveliest
kind took place. Many big wagers
were made, amounting to thousands of
dollars. Some of the biggest bookmak
ers in the country were umong the most
Interested betters, und they bet both
ways whenever nn opportunity offered.
Some of them were simply gambling
on the event and were tr.vlna to pick
a winner, while others could not forego
the chance of making a percentage
book.
Joe I'llman was one of the latter
sort and his bets were as varied as
they were numerous. He always look
ed for ifie shade.
Corbett's backers forced the price of
the Cullfornlan to $100 to $70 Just as
It was learned Unit the ex-ehiuuplon
had reached the club house and was
In his dressing room.
At 20 minutes aftei 9 o'clock a buzz
of excitement run through the build
ing und Tom Sharkey pushed his way
through the betting crowd. Ho was
uttlred In u light blue drepslng gown
underneath which he hud un Ameri
can Hag wound around his waist for a
belt. He was accompanied by his
manager, Tom O'Hourke, John T.
Dougherty, George. Dixon, Hob Arm
strong and Jack Held, who acted as his
seconds.
Professor Jimmy DeFoivst held the
watch for the Irishman. Sharkey nev
er looked better In his life and bald
he weighed ITS pounds He was very
conildent und exhibited no sign of ner
vousness?, Announcer Charley Hurvey called thi
attention of the on-Iookers to the fact
Hint the principals wished them to
rofiain from smoking und immediately
all cigars which were being Industri
ously puffed were trodden nnrtr foot
most willingly.
The crowd was beginning to be un
ensy nt Corbett's delay In making his
appearance, when some one In the gal
leiy shouted: "Three cheers for Shnr
key." These were riven with a will
and repeated all over the house.
Corbott did not reach the ringside
until 10.38 o'clock, Just 13 minutes later
than Sharkey,
At 10.4S the men were Introduced by
Announcer Charley Harvey, Sharkey's
name being mentioned llrst, and Tom
had to bow repeatedly In recognition
of the cheers which greeted htm. The
ovation given to Corbett was more
demonstrative, cheeis lasting over a
minute.
A WILD CHEER.
There was a wild cheer ns he was
seen making his way to the ringside
When he reuched the steps leading up
to the ring Corbett stopped for a mo
ment to shake hands with some friends.
Then he climbed nimbly through the
ropes and tested his arms on them
for a few seconds, during which time
he smiled across the ring nt O'Hourke
who stood In front ot Sharkey.
Corbctt wns enveloped In a dnrk olive
green dressing gown. His hair was
parted In the middle nnd carefully
combedund brushed.
His second!" were Charley White,
George Consldlne, Jack MoVey and
John Consldlne, of Detroit, acted ns
his timekeeper. Iloth men had their
choice of the sets of gloves. Corbett
selected his pnlr which were made for
hint in California. They were a pair
of typical lighting gloves, being Just
shaped to the clinched list, wherens
Shurkey's were the long tapering glove
usually donned by boxers.
They were nearly an Inch and a half
longer than his opponent'? which would
give him an opportunity of forcing
the hnlr In the gloves away from the
knuckles. The gloves were of the reg
ulation weight of five ounces as pro
vided bv the Horton law. Cor
bctt wore white trunks and a led,
while and green sash, which his sec
onds took off as soon as he stood erect.
Sharkey wore green splits, held by a
belted American Hag. Theie was a
long confab between the principals,
their seconds and the referee, after
which the men retired to their cor
ner. After having agreed not to hit
In clinches or In breakaways and that
they would step back when ordered
t" break away, everything wns In or
der for the bout to begin.

Means danger. It

This condition may
Lead to serious illness.
It should be promptly
Overcome by taking

Enriches the blood,
Strengthens the nerves,
Tones the stomach,
Creates an appetite,
And builds up,
Energizes and vitalizes
The whole system.
