Clipped from the pages of The Coaltown Gazette - October 1897....On the rumour wire Jack Johnson and Sam McVea have signed articles to meet at the Chicago Coliseum in November with Johnson's title on the line....At San Francisco's Mechanic's Pavilion Al Kaufman administered a beating to what remains of former world champion James J Corbett, knocking him stiff in the seventh round....Another group of boxers have emerged from the Dominion Boxing Foundation's academies, among them Arthur "Art" Beaudoin who took up the gloves after being banned from the Montreal Meteors hockey club of the Amateur Hockey Association of Canada for being too ready with his fists....
