It was four . years ago. today that
Young Corbett, the once popular box
er, was knocked out by Johnny Frayne
in the eighth round at San Francisco.
That was the beginning of the 'end of
Young Corbett's pugilistic career, but,
although ho lost a fight and much of
his reputation, he won a bride. , The
young lady accompanied the fighter to
California to see the battle.and agreed
to become his wife if he won. Al
though 'Toung Corbett lost, the girl
considered that he had put up such
a good fight that she waived the terms
of the agreement, and they were mar
ried,, in San Rafael, CaX, on ttie day
following the battle. This romance
of th6 prize ring culminated . a few
months ago in the divorce court of
New York, when Mrs. Daisy Rothwell
brought suit against William H Roth
well, which is the fighter's real name.
-, Young Corbett was principally fa
mous as the' man who twice knocked
out1 Terry McGovern, the, Brooklyn
terror. He first turned the trick at
Hartford in 1901. and -six years later
he again smashed" McQovern on the
chin in a battle at San Francisco, and
won the title. He soon hit the tobog
gan, and. was defeated by Jimmy Brltt,
Bat NelsoSs, -Aurelio Herrera, and oth
ers, although he has always claimed
that he was robbed in the Brltt fight.
A scrap between Young Corbett and
Terry McGtfvern that Is not included
in the records took place in' Scranton,
Fa., a few years ago. The old rivals
had been Induced to bury the hatchet
and go .on a theatrical, tour as Joint
stars. The company wasln Scranton
on the anniversary of Young Corbetfs
defeat of McGovern, and Jim Corbett
was also playing in that city. . " Jim
suggested a love feast to celebrate the
anniversary of the battle and the sub
sequent treaty of peace, and it was
pulled off with great eclat. - In the
theatre after the dinner Young Cor
bett and Terry went through their
usual performance, and were nearing
its conclusion when the former made
a Joking remark about his victory over
Terry some years before. That arous
ed McGovern's ire, and, quick as a
wink, he sent over a .vicious punch
that took Corbett on - the chin, and
sent him sprawling. As soon as he
had recovered Corbett , got up with
blood ' in his eye, and only the en
treaties of Jim Corbett and others pre
vented a spirited rookus.
In the Opinion of Young Corbett,
the greatest fighters In pugilistic his
tory were Joe Gans and Terry Mc
Govern.' TODAY IN PUGILISTIC AXXALS
1901 Joe Gans stopped Dal Haw
kins in 3 rounds at New York. "The
Old Master" always declared that his
three battles : with Hawkins- and' his
three bouts with George "Elbows" Mc
Fadden, neither of whom were cham
pions, were the hardest of his , career.
Hawkins, a California lightweight, de
feated the Baltimore coon in the first
session, Gans won the second Sfter he
had been knocked down several times,
and the negro" was also the vvictor in
the third. One- of the McFadden
fights was a victory for Gans, another
a draw, and in the third, fought in
Frisco in '99, "Elbows" -knocked Gans
out in the 23rd.
1912 Joe . Jeanette knocked out Jeff
Madden in 3rd round at New Bedford.
1912 Buck Grouse stopped Dave
Burtz in 8th round at New York.
JOHNSON MAY FIGHT
BOMBARDIER WELLS NOW
.' . (By T. S. Andrews.)
-'. Tonf -OTSoUrker the' New , York pro
moter, is determined to bring Carl
Morris, the Oklahoma giant, into play
again. Carl beat a fellow named Jack
.Geyer at Denver, and now Tom wants
to make a champion out of him. "Why
not stack Tom McMahon, the Lancas
ter 180-pounder, ag-aljrt Morris? If
Carl can stand againct Tom for 10
rounds, he will then have some license
to go against Gunboat , Smith . and Al
Palzer.
" " Jimmy Clabby, claimant of tha mid
dleweight championship, may make
his third tour to Australia. Jimmy
has received a flattering offer from
Snowy Baker, the Sydney promoter,
who took the Stadium over from Hugh
D. Mcintosh, and .the Hammond boy
is considering the same. There is no
real middleweight in the country to
day with a better claim to the title
than Clabby; I mean a middleweight
who can make 158 ringside and be
righif. Jack Dillon and Frank Klaus
are claimants with Clabby, but of the
bunch Clabby is the one who can do
the weight nicely and be at his best;
in fact, Clabby does not weigh over
155 at any time. Another t thing.
Clabby has beaten all the Australian
middleweights and really holds the
title of that country. Should Jimmy
accept the offer he will not leave here
until September, as he wants to battle
with either Dillon or Klaus on Labor
Day for the American title. He has
already defeated Eddie McGoorty, one
of the other real claimants, and fig
ures that he can beat the Indiana
polls boy, basing his claim on the fact
that Dillon defeated Klaus at Indiana-pol-

ing men who were much heavier with
out complaint.
It has developed that some of the
foreign - sporting men : had in mind a
match between Bombardier Wells, the
British heavy wwl glht title holder, and
Jack Johnson, the colored champion,
and that was one of the reasons for
Johnson getting out of this country as
he did. News comes from Paris that
such a match was contemplated, to be
held in one of the countries near
France, but that the defeat of Wells
by Carpentier, the French -champion,
changed the complexion of things con
siderable. Whether ' the promoters
hoped to get away with such a match
and give a fancy purse is not known,
but Judging from other reports re
celved here from abroad they would
have had a fine deficit to face if they
had gone through with it, as the
sporting . men have not forgotten
Jack's, escapades by a long shot. How
ever, with the defeat of Fackey Ma-
honey, the Irish heavyweight by Wells,
the., promoters may take another
change of heart and take a gambler's
chance. In England Wells is not tak
en seriously as a ohamplon any more,
and , if the lanky one hopes to get
backing from his own people he will
have to win a "couple more fights be
fore they will care to take a chance
on him. ' , . -

AMERICAN COMMISSION ON
AGRICULTURAL COOPERATION
STUDIES GERMAN METHODS
Welsbaden, Ger., July 16 The Amer
ican- Commission on Agricultural Co
operation came- to- ' Weisbaden from
Heidelberg, where half a day had been
spent visiting .typical local Ralffeteen
societies in the -neighboring farming
communities. A- sub-committee of the
Commission remained In Heidelberg to
attend the meetings of the convention
of Ralfffeisen Co-operative officials
which began there today.
- The first institution visited by the
Commission In Weisbaden was the
Naeean District Mortgage Credit Bank,
a government Institution extending
mortgage loans at cost, principally for
the benefit of small farmers who pre
dominate in Nassau. It was the first
institution of this type visited by the
commission.
The bank was organized in 1840 by
the government of what was then , the
Grand Duchy of Nassau. It has con
tinued in the mortgage business ever
since and -has never lost a dollar to
its bond holders. The method of bus
iness is the same as that followed
by practically all mortgage Institu
tions of Europe that is, it accepts
mortgages on real estate and issues
land bonds equal in amount to the
mortgages. ' The bonds ' are split up
into small amounts, as low as $25, in
order that small investors can buy
them. The money received by the
bank from the sale of the bonds is
used to supply money to the farmers
on their mortgages. The bonds are
secured by' the mortgages. But the
holder of the bond looks only to the
bank to1 pay the, interest and princi
pal of hjs bond. . The bank assumes
the responsibility for the payments of
the farmer and it is this feature which
makes investors more willing to buy
the bonds than they are .to buy the
mortgages offered by American farm
ers, and- also which makes the inves
tors willing to accept a lower rate of
Interest. The bank carriers on this
business as nearly as possible without
profit. Where a profit is made It is
turned over to the government to re
duce the taxes of the landowners.
In the case of the mortgage bank
of , Nassau, however, there is a second
guarantee placed behind the land
bonds the guarantee of the govern
ment. When Nassau wasr an autonom
ous German state the guarantee was
given by the government of the Grand
Duchy of Nasao; Nassau has been
absorbed by Prussia and there is a
provician in - the constitution of that
state' forbidding the government to
guarantee the obligations of a com
pany which is permitted . to assume
unlimited indebtedness. Therefore the
guarantee of the land bonds of the
Nassau bank was turned over to- the
communes of the Administrative Dis
trict of Nassau. This Is, however, a
strong government guarantee and' the
sufficiency of it is proven in the high
price, 89,. maintained by 4 per cent
bonds of the Nasau bank.
To make the government's guaran
tee cafe, conduct of the bank is plac
ed directly under control of the As
sembly of the Administrative District,
The . actual, business of the bank Is
carried on by a directorate. A farmer
desiring- to. mortgage his farm goes
first to the court of registration. The
system of land registration in Germany
Is thoroughly perfected and this is one
of the most essential features to a
successful land credit system. By the
court the farmer is given a paper establishing-
his title and describing his
property. This paper Is sent to the
land bank with the application for a
loan. All loans are restricted to 50
per oent of the value of the land on
first mortgage. If the loan be grant
ed the farmer's mortgage 'is register
ed and also the bank records with the
mortgage the fact that bonds to an
equal amount have been issued. The
entire transaction costs ' the farmer
about $20. The bond draws interest at
the lowest practicable rate now 4 1-2
per cent because of a bad money mar
ketand the farmer pays to the bank
this same rate of interest, plus enough
to cover the expenses of the bank.
This is about 1-2 of one per eent in an
economically conducted institution.
Besides this payment, the farmer pays
each year a fixed amount in amorti
za-tlon charges that is a fixed amount
which is used to reduce the principal

of his loan. In the German Landschaf
zen institutions the payment of thla
amortization charge is optional with
the farmer. In the Nassau institution
payment of amortization charges is
obligatory and the value of this law
was clearly demonstrated to the Amer
ican Commissioners by the bank di
rector who presented a table to show
the .comparative freedon of debt of
the Nassau farmers. The most inter
esting feature of the Nassau bank is
the government guarantee given the
bonds. There is a division of opinion
among the members of the American
Commission as to the advisability of
government guarantees for land bonds.
Those opposed to the plan point out
that If the farmers defaulted in their
payments it would become necessary
for the government as the guarantor to
dispossess the farmers of their land,
and they assert that there is apt to
be so much politica in the situation
In the XJnitted States that the legisla
ture of a state would be inclined to
saddle the loss upon the state rather
than make enemies of the farmers by
selling their land at aucyon. f
Adherents to the plan assert that
land in the United States is sold every
day of the year for taxes and that this
Is the same thing as the state selling
a man out for non-payment of inter
est charges on a mortgage. Just what
advantage there is in the government
guarantee can better be Judged by the
Commissioners after they have studied
a type of Landshaften bank and th
Credit Foncier of France.
