The Denver lad knocked out the great McGovern in two rounds in Hartford Conn. Police roped off the streets when McGovern's conqueror returned to receive the plaudits of the Denver crowds Two bands blared out their welcome as the pugilist entered a horse drawn hack to be escorted up Denver's raging street. With him were James J Jeffries and his brother Jack Jeffries. Young Corbett stood in the back and scattered coins to the scores of small boys who swarmed the street That night a diamond emblem was given him the new feather weight champion Young Corbett won the title from McGovern on Thanksgiving day 1901. He held it until March 25 1904 when Jimmy Britt won the decision over him in 20 rounds in San Francisco. During those years he made a small fortune. But money burned his pockets. Making his home in New York Broadway took its toll. And the other day when he came back he'd been advanced the money for the trip by President Stoneham of the New York Giants. Young Corbett is home to straw. He expects to start an athletic school for boys.
