...Boxing is a lost art, in fact, the whole world seems to me to be on the wane," James J. Corbett said late last night in an interview with a CRIMSON reporter just before going out for his comedy act "Gentleman Jim." "In spite of his pessimistic statement he seemed anything but depressed as he straightened his bright green tie and doned his white flannels.
