THE RICHMOND PLANET RICHMOND LEWIS SWANN. THAT SHOCKING TRAGEDY. Swann's Death—Forsook His Bride for Chilly Waters—Body Found Near Hampton—"Episco." pal" Service. No happening within forty years has occasioned as much comment in this city among colored people as has the suicide of Richmond Lewis Swann who jumped into the waters of the Chesapeake Bay off Buckroe Beach last week. The affair is shrouded in mystery and yet there are reports that would indicate that some one knows the cause of all the trouble. Rumors are flying thick and fast. THE PROSPECTIVE MARRIAGE Mr. Swann was scheduled to marry Miss Lillian Moore. The marriage was to have taken place at her residence, Tuesday, June 29, '10. He was last seen the Monday before and Mr. Edward J. Cook, who has been his close friend and confidential adviser being his brother-in-law found his keys, watch and two five dollar bills the next day at his place of business after Swann had failed to put in apearance at either his home or the restaurant. Mr. Swann roomed with Mr. and Mrs. Cook. POLICE NOTIFIED The alarm was at once sent out and the police authorities notified Cook thought that he might have met with foul play at the hands of some one and he persistently declared that he believed that he was dead. Whether it it was a premonition or was based upon confidential information, the deponent sayeth not. It was but a few days afterward that he received a letter from the proprietor of the Kennesaw House at Buckroe Beach stating that Swann had engaged a room there and had left his hat, spectacles and a letter addressed to Edward J. Cook. In this letter he stated that when it was received, he would be in eternity, the world before him was too great. He wished his property and effects turned over to his parents and he wished him to take care of his mother. A GREAT QUESTION There is a cause for all of this without question. Swann was regarded as a model young man. He was of a retiring disposition. His selection of his life's partner did not exactly please some of his relatives. This worried him. On the other hand these relatives are alleged to claim that his life's partner was not congenial in the wedding arrangements and that this worried him. He had bought a house and lot and had fitted it up. He had the keys and his intended bride had access to them. She had just "supped sorrow" in the loss of her mother and she resigned her position as public school teacher, looking forward to the matrimonial event with unfeigned happiness. AN EXPERT SWIMMER The turn of affairs has since caused her to withdraw her resignation and her name will appear upon the school roster next session. Swann was an expert swimmer so his friends say and as his body was found near Hampton, it has been a puzzling proposition to understand the cause. Some say that he must have plunged in the bay at Buckroe and swam as far out as he could possibly do and then given up, having become exhausted by the effort. It is plainly evident that he never intended to permit himself to be brought back to Richmond, either dead or alive. REV. BURRELL OFFICIATED. If in the spirit land he could have seen his funeral procession last Sunday afternoon wending from the Ebenzoe Baptist Church, where Rev. Scott C. Burrell conducted an "Episcopal Church" service over the remains, he must have been very much surprised. But then "God moves in a mysterious way, His wonders to perform." "Man proposes, and God disposes." All information is being carefully withheld by those who might be in a position to know. PECULIAR REPORTS. It was even alleged that Swann had been married before, and that his wife was here to attend the funeral. This was found to be untrue and was due to the fact that his brother and his wife came to attend the funeral. Then too there was a man said to be named Miller, who claimed to be a cousin of the other wife. He made this claim in Miller's Hotel, but upon being pressed he admitted that he had no personal knowledge of any such marriage. He had heard it. It is almost impossible to repeat all of the rumors but it is safest and best to presume that they all are false. The young man has paid the penalty of all of his follies, if he had any, with his life and this should be enough. THE WORST SUFFERER His intended bride is unquestionably the worst sufferer and she is entitled to sympathy. The remains were kept in Mr. A. D. Price's undertaking establishment. It was almost impossible to recognize the remains. His body was swollen out of all proportions and his features were absolutely black. His glass eye was there and this was the most potent means of identifying the remains. There was no identification of the clothes that he wore. Numbers of people doubted that he was dead until this unmistakable evidence told in graphic language that he had kept his word and that he had gone to that land, where "sickness, sorrow, pain and death are felt and feared no more."

I couldn't come back, boys. Jack Johnson is a great fighter, and will hold the title for many years. I cannot see any one who has a right to dispute his grip on the championship. He has everything that goes to make a champion. He is the cleverest defensive fighter that ever held the championship; can hit a terrific blow and is a splendid ring general. At my best, I know that I could have beaten him. But yesterday I was far from being good. No fighter can come back. I thought that I would surely upset the old traditions, but after eight rounds I realized that my days as a fighter were over. At the end of the fourteenth round Jim Corbett asked me why I didn't lick Johnson. "He's too clever, Jim; much better than you were when we met," I answered. Johnson must have realized at the end of the fourteenth round that I was tiring, for he put on a wonderful spur in the fifteenth, and his blows were just twice as powerful as they had been previously. I FOUGHT MY BEST I fought my best. It was not good enough. I was confident during the early rounds that Johnson would sooner or later leave an opening and then I expected to rush in and shoot my right to his body. I figured that I only need land one good wallop in his stomach to land him. But he never left that one opening. He covered perfectly and timed his blows with precision. In the ninth round I left my corner determined to get Johnson. I rushed at him and whipped rights and left to his head as fast and hard as I could. But not one of them landed. Johnson simply picked every one of them off, and when I had finished my sally he was as fresh as a daisy and then began pounding my head back with hard straight lefts. Every one of them had a ton of steam behind them and I could not get away from them. I would then work myself in close and clinch. But it was right here that Johnson gave me the surprise of my life. He was a bear in close. He would work both hands to the body and then suddenly shoot an uppercut to the jaw. And he has a left uppercut that is a marvel. It was this left uppercut that up-set all my calculations. I had trai-敬 religiously to learn how to block a right uppercut. When he first worked the south paw up, I thought it sort of a fluke punch. But when he sent it up time and again afterward, I realized that it was one of his best wallops. I could not get away from it. I have no kick coming. The best man won. I did my best, but it was not good enough. I have not decided what I shall do for the next few days. I had made extensive preparations before the fight, but they were all made on the ground that I would be returned the winner. —Don't fall to see and hear Hon. John C.

Your humble servant desires to state that he enjoys the distinguished honor of being one of that great number who were buried by him by baptism on that memorable occasion, June, 1894. In the year 1899, under the suggestion of our Pastor our Church erected at a cost of about $500.00 the second ceiling in our church to make the interior of our church more harmonious in appearance and easier for preaching. In the year 1902 our Church was confronted with a problem so delicate and intricate, that few' Churches would have undertaken. However, a request came to us and after mature and careful consideration, under the direction of our fearless and courageous Pastor, Dr. Graham, our Church appointed a committee headed by our beloved and lamented Deacon Edinburgh Archer to investigate the facts encouched in the application. The committee having reported a true bill, our Church proceeded to invite all of the sister Baptist Churches of our city and all over these United States to join us in an expatriate council. On May 13, 1902 the Council convened in the Fifth St. Baptist Church composed of able and distinguished Divines of national reputation. The sainted Dr. George W. Lee, then pastoring in the Capitol City at Washington, D. C. was elected judge of this Council. After hours of judicious consideration of the evidence pro et con, this august and memorable body of Christian counsel recommended that Mr. John Mitchell, Jr.'s request for membership be granted on his Christian experience. On May 18, 1902 our Church proceeded to examine Brother Mitchell on his Christian experience. He having passed a satisfactory examination was elected a member. By the skill ingenuity and untiring efforts of our Pastor and the hearty cooperation of our faithful deacons, members and friends our Church on May 26, 1910 paid the last dollar due on our church property, a debt incurred six years before Dr. Graham came to this charge. In December, 1904, the following improvements were made to our church: Remodeling, $4,418.50; Steam Heating Apparatus, $1,325.00; New Pipe Organ, $2,000.00. Total, $7,743.50.

On July 19, 1880 the Fifth Street Baptist Church through her Trustees, Daniel Henderson, Jefferson Miles, Benjamin Jackson and Phillip Robinson purchased this church ground from the German Lutheran Church, who at that time was worshipping here, and this same German Church congregation is now worshipping at the corner of Eighth and Marshall Streets. Our first Pastor, Dr. H. H. Mitchell served us faithfully and was instrumental in accomplishing great and good work. Dr. Mitchell served as Pastor until December 15, 1884, when his resignation was very reluctantly received. On February 16, 1885 the following meeting: H. G. Anderson, W. E. Lewis, Benjamin R. Jackson, J. R. Griffin and William Isham presented the name of Dr. A. P. Dunbair and he was elected Pastor of our Church. Dr. Dunbair labored earnestly and assiduously for a new church building and on June 21 1886 our Church entered into a contract for a new church building costing $16,790. 73. Dr. Dunbair labored with us until January 19, 1891 when he tendered his resignation. All this time we were as one in a dark, benighted land. We were then burdened with an enormous debt of over $11,000.00. We labored on not withstanding the road was rough. We felt it could be long, for we smoothed with hope, and cheered it with song. We hoped and prayed for a good shepherd. While under the influence and direction of the Holy Spirit on April 25, 1892 our Church being aware of the ability of Dr. Graham as a preacher and his magnetic power as a pastor, elected him into the pastorate of the Fifth Street Baptist Church We are proud to state that we did not make a mistake in our selection for he has excelled himself and all his predecessors as the statistics below will indicate. Our third Pastor's very beginning proved almost a phenomenal success. His first year was a record breaker for raising money. $1689.78 was raised in the first grand rally. Total amount collected first year, $5, 788.89. In the year 1894 over 400 converts made profession of religion under In the year 1900, our Church entertained the largest Negro organization in the world, namely, The Naiad Bible Convention, having over 1000 delegates.

JEFFRIES FROM PHOTO STARRY ACADEMY LIFE [Copyright, 1880, by McClure Newspaper and Great Britain. All rights reserved.] CHAPTER XX I FINISH GUYS BUILT IN FIVE ROUND AT FRISCO. THERE was a great crowd at the Pavilion that night, something like 10,000 people. Special trains had been coming in all day long, and the cities and towns along the coast had sent big delegations. It looked good, fighting for 60 per cent of the gate receipts and 75 per cent to the winner. In spite of the rain men stood in line all day waiting for the gallery doors to be thrown open and the gallery seats to be put on sale. When I came in an hour before ring time the lights for the kinetoscope pictures were about half turned on. With blistering recollections of the lights over the ring at Coney Island when I fought Sharkey I looked them over, but they seemed to be well arranged, and, although there was beat enough, it wasn't quite like a furnace. The police were busy that night helping to handle the crush Around the ring was just the sort of a crowd that you can always find at a world's championship battle. There sat Mayor Phelan of San Francisco and Schmitz, mayor elect, with all the big judges and lawyers and business men of the city. At half past 9 we got into the ring. This time I didn't wait for the other fellow, as I usually do, but climbed through the ropes first. Kuhlin followed me. All around the ring men were skipping about to try to get bets down, some of them offering better than 2 to 1 on me and not finding very many takers. The ring was cleared. Rublin was talking with his seconds. Billy Madden, "Denver Ed" Martin and Eugene Van Court Delaney and Kid Eagan stepped back through the ropes behind me. I got up and, pulling the ring out of my belt, tied it around the post in my corner. Then I stood up and waited for the bell. Harry Corbett, the referee, stepped to the middle of the ring. Corbett was an absolutely square man. It didn't make any difference to him that he had been my first friend whep I came to San Francisco to fight years before or that I had knocked out his brother Jim in New York The bell rang, and the fight, began. At first we were both pretty cautious. It doesn't pay to be careless. in the first round with the world's championship at stake. Gus jabbed me lightly and stepped into a clench. I tapped him just as lightly. I began going after him faster and Gus clinched or ducked under my punches. The first was a tame round. In the second Gus cut loose and got home a dozen good punches on my jaw and on the body, but they didn't hurt, and I kept on walking into him, looking for an opening for the one punch that would do business. Gus hooked his left over against my cheek bone, and I thought he winced. After ward he claimed that he broke two knuckles with that punch. I didn't feel it much. He crossed his right to my ears and laughed me a little. As soon as the third round began I made up my mind that Gus couldn't do much more than he'd done already and that there was no use in wasting more time. I went right after him and, sticking my left out, staggered him* with a hard amash on the chin. It wasn't a showy punch—just a straight arm and a little bit of a hook at the end of it. Gus fell into a clutch and held on hard. I pushed him away and uppercut with both hands, I banged my left into his body, and he complained to Corbett. I kept on whipping my left in. Ruhlin had hard work to stick the round out. I knew that I'd whip him then and that the right wouldn't be a very long one. He couldn't take the body blows. In the fourth I walked straight at him and kept on walking when he tried to jab me away. All that was necessary now was a good opening Ruhlin covered his body carefully, and I popped one over that nearly closed his eye and made him bring his guard up. Then a left in the stomach bent him over. I pushed him back and walked after him, whaling away now and then for his body. One had such a funny look on his face that I almost had to laugh. He tugged to Corbett and said, "Make him stop chasing me." Harry, Madden was in Ruhlin's core. ner, jeering through the ropes with his eyes popping out and every time I jammed one into Ruhlin's body I could see Madden wince. He thought he had a chance to make a fortune with Gun, and here was his meal ticket getting punched full of holes. There wasn't any footwork or anything fancy about the fighting now. I just waded in and pumped in feet and rights wherever there was a hole to throw a, glove through. Raglin's punches were weak, and he backed away steadily. Near the end of the round I sent in two heavy punches, and Gus went down for a long count. He got up in time, but was very weak, and the gong sounded just then. Back in his corner Gus told Madsen that my body punches were "tearing the lining out of him." During the roast I told Delaney that I was going out to wind it up. As soon as the bell rang I jumped up and went right after Rublin. He backed away and blocked my punches at first. Without letting up a second I kept him going. Now I shifted to his head again and reached for his chin, intending to make him hold a high guard that would leave a good opening for my favorite knockout punch in the body. Gus caught a fairly hard right on the chin that threw him against the ropes, and he dopped to the floor. When he got up he was staggering. I came in again deliberately Gus ut loose with wild swings. He knew he was whipped and was taking a "dying chance." I shoved him back to the ropes. Gus tried to jab me away. Blocking the punch, I stepped in and whipped my left into the pit of his stomach I meant that for the knockout blow If Rublin hadn't been as tough as whalebone the punch would have finished him. As it was it fung him back against the ropes again, and he stayed on his feet I was just rushing in when the bell ring. Billy Madden. I think, was throwing up the sponge. Madden and Denver Ed jumped in and dragged Gus to his corner I turned around at down and looked across the way Rublin was doubled over in his chair Madden spoke to Martin, and the big black fellow walked to the middle of the ring and called to Harry Corbett "Weird guy!" said Martin. The fight was over. I went across the ring and looked at Rublin and asked him what was the matter. Didn't answer, and so I walked, back again, picked up my aweater and started for the dressing room. There was a great roar from the crowd. Everybody was hissing and hooting at Rublin for quitting. A lot of people climbed into the ring and started an argument, and Rublin was hustled out of the way. Now, on the day after that fight people all over the country were calling Gus a "quitter." In fairness to a good fighter who has shown plenty of gameness in the ring against other men I'll say right bare that Ruhlin never was a quitter. The only reason he stopped that night in San Francisco was that he couldn't get up to fight the next round and he knew it. My heavy body punches had nearly been him in two. If he had gone down after that last punch in the body and had been counted out, as Corbett was at Carson, nobody would have had any chance to find fault. I wasn't surprised when Gus gave up. The only thing that did surprise me was winning the fight so soon and so easily. He didn't put a mark on me, and I had expected a hard grueling battle. There was great joy in the Joffries camp after that fight. As for me, no body seemed anxious to bother me for ```markdown ``` Photo by American Press Association. JEFFRIES TRAINING FOR JOHNSON-JEFF SAWING WOOD. awhile, and I determined to go on the hunting trip of my life. Bob Fitzsimmons did some great fighting after losing the championship to me. Just before the end of the Horton law in New York state Fitzs knocked out Gus Rubilin in six rounds and Toum Sharkey in two. The fights were only two weeks apart. I was in the east at that time, and Fitzsimmons chanced me. He wanted to fight on the last night of the Horton law. I refused, of course, because I'd have to go into the ring untrained. I never fought yet without training hard, and I never will. Any fighter owes that much to his friends. I wouldn't fight a dub without training. When thousands of friends all over the country bet on every fight I'm in I think they have a right to know I'm in shape: In any case Fitzsimmons wasn't the kind of a man to go up against without training. I told Bob he could have his chance soon enough, and a little later on we made a match to fight in San Francisco on July 25, 1902. Bob kept up light training at his home in Bensonburst, with Gus Rubin as his sparring partner, and when the time came to start for the coast he was in great shape. He came to California feeling sure of beating me. His was one of the most confident men in the world. CHAPTER XXL JACK JOHNSONS "GOLDEN SMILE" TRAINED at Harbin Springs for that second fight with Stimmenmons and got into very good condition. The bout was held at Also Greigwra's San Francisco Athletic club, at Fourteenth and Valencia streets. A lot of my Los Angeles friends came up to bet on me. I guess they brought up at least $40,000 for $30,000. George Miller got down $10,000 at the regular odds, which were 10 to 4 in my favor. "Chalk" Roberts brought $10,000. Jim Hayes, the proprietor of Harbin Springs, put up $2,000 on me. Lots of the other boys got down smaller sums. There was a big crowd at the ring-side that night. Fitzlumberd was introduced first and had a great reception. He was always well liked in San Francisco, where he fought his first fight after coming to America from Australia. Bob looked in as good shape as when he fought me at Coney Island. He didn't even look a day older, although he was thirty-one now. A challenge from Jim Corbett was read, and the crowd cheered. I was glad to hear the challenge taken so well, for the heavyweight crop was running out, and there didn't seem to be many more dights in sight for me. As soon as we began fighting I went after Bob steadily. We were both a little cautious at first. I sent a good hard left into his body and he took it all right. Before the end of the first round he had begun trailing on me. JAC beard, and my nose was bleeding a little. I had found out something too. The new ring platform was too tightly built. Fitzsimmons could skip about on it like a Frisco fox, but whenever I moved quickly the boards bent under me. It was like trying to dance around on a springboard. It made my footing uncertain and awkward and took away half my speed. In my crouching position the grieve of the ring platform affected my footing so much that I tried standing straight up. Fitzsimmons mixed it with me, and we both got in some stiff punches. The way the old fellow could hit was a wonder. He was hammering my face in. The blows were as heavy as any I ever felt. The jar didn't daze me, but I had never been so cut and bruised in a fight before. Fitzsimmons was a wonderful fighting boxer. Along in the fifth round I managed to get over a left hook that叫 Bob along the cheek bone, but a moment later he stopped in with a terrible right that landed squarely on my left eye and nearly knocked my head off. The blow opened a big gash along my eyebrow. I was in pretty bad shape for a champion now—all cut to pieces and my eyes closing. When I went back to my corner Billy Delaney was mighty anxious. "Jim," he said, "you have got to get him before your eyes close. Go after him." I crouched as I came from my corner that time and went at Fitzlammons with a rush. He skipped out of my way and laughed as he moved around. I kept turning to face him like a bull in a bull ring, and every time he soomed within reach I rushed him again. Once I cornered him on the rope, but he lipped away, and as he by me he landed a couple of hooks that made the blood run again I couldn't get him. He surely was a slimmer fellow. "You're got to do it soon," said Delaney again. With my cuts all closed up and the blood washed off I went out after Bob again as hard as I could go. All of my injuries wore on the surface. Inside I was as sound and fresh as ever. I wouldn't think any worse of Fitzimmon if he had shown discouragement about this time. He had beaten me enough to knock out any ordinary man. I knew his right hand was gone once when he lingered in a heavy ammonia on my toenail. I could hear the bouncy crack, and although he beet worm crack on hitting with it there was the same weight in the blows. He was labbing more and dismounting on the left. Fitzsimmons had a great left. I think it was his best hand. He usually landed knockouts with the left. In this the abrupt round I went after Bob hurt and saving my left into his body. The punches were well meant, but Fitzsimmons took them and came right back with three hard left books on the mouth that started me bleeding again and forced me to the ropes. I rushed and chased Fitz across the ring, pungy him over the heart. As we came into a collin Bob grinned and asked, "Well, how do you like it?" "Suits me all right," I said. "Too pretty good for an old fellow." From that on I punched at Bob's body, and he jabbed and booked with the left. All the time the crowd was choosing like mad. Fitz looked like a winner, for he was almost unmarked, while I must have been a sight. The crowd thought the old clichon was coming back into the film again. I knew I'd win in time. I was all right still inside, not weak or dazed or even tired. And I knew that Fitzsimmons could not keep up such a terrible pace for twenty rounds. In time he must wear himself out even if I didn't bring K JOHNSON'S "GOLDEN SM JACK JOHNSON'S "GOLDEN SMILE." him down with a blow. His only chance was to blind me entirely and then beat me down when I couldn't see to block or get away. And even then I might have been able to stick it out. My eyes were nearly closed when I came up for the eight round. I went after Fitzsimons steadily. Fitz stood up straight and tried with his left for my chin. I ducked under the blow and sent my right to his body. I could feel the ribs hind. It was a hard punch. Fitz hooked on the face, and I leaned in with another body punch. Then we fought hard for a minute. I could feel that Fitz was growing weaker. His blow didn't hurt, and he seemed to be tiring. The right time had come at that. I stepped in and swung my left for the pit of his stomach. The glove landed a little to one side, striking just at the edge of the right ribs and driving them in. Fitzsimons straightened up and stood perfectly still for a moment. I knew the blow had paralyzed his legs and he couldn't more. "You're got me, Jeff," he grapped, and just at the same instant I started the finishing blow for his jaw. I landed both hands before he fell. Fitz went down hard, and Referee Eddie Groney counted him out. Fitz was trying to get up and managed to rise to his feet just after the end of the count. He walked to one side of the ring and raised his hand. "The best man won," said Fitzsimons. "I am satisfied. I'll never fight again." "You've the most dangerous man alive," I told him, "and I consider myself lucky to have won when I did." That fight with Fitzsimmons was one of the hardest I ever had in my life. I don't think money would pay me to stand up and deliberately take the beating I got from him before I landed the knockout. Every bone in my nose was broken and driven in. My nose was flat with my cheeks. It was a 167 of trouble to have that fixed up again. The doctors took eight stitches above my right eye and eight more over my right cheek bona. The cut over my left eye took seven or eight stitches. Every tooth in my head was loose. For two days after the fight I couldn't eat. I couldn't move my jaw, and I thought I was surely broken. One of my ears was in bad shape. Fitzsimmons when he was taken to the Olympic club after the fight to have hot salt water bath and be rubbed down rainted as soon as the rubber touched his ribs. He fainted again a few hours later when he tried to raise his left arm to reach for a hat. That was from my body punching over the heart. Fitzsimmons right hand was smashed. He landed it over my eye and drove the first two knuckles back over an inch, splintering the bones into small pieces. He was a game fellow. Long afterward he asked me one day if I had noticed during the fight that he was turming his right hand to land with the last two knuckles. These were the only two left, and yet he was hitting almost as hard as with a sound hand. The joints of Bob's left hand were buckled toward the end of the fight, but he didn't hold back his punches. And the funny thing is that a sporting writer in San Francisco supposed to know something about the game saw all this damage done in the ring and then went away and wrote that the fight was a fake. He sent out a story that it was "framed" for Fitzsimmons to lie down in the eighth round and that when the time came Fitzsimmons dropped his hands to his sides and said, "Hit me now." That was funny when my own brother Jack bet $500 I'd knock Fitz out in five rounds. ILE." A The whole country lingered down the "fake" story. My friends all knew that there wasn't money enough in circulation to induce me to fight a crooked fight. Fitzsimons was always on the square. The fight itself was evidence enough. CHAPTER XXII. THE TRUE STORY OF THAT MUNROE AND FAIR IN BUTTE. SOME time after our fight Flitz-simmons and I formed a combination and began touring the country with a show. Flitz-simmons was a good card because of the great fight he had given me. The show was a success everywhere we went. Around through some of the western states we met all comers instead of boxing together. Some Flitz took on, and some I took on. It was in this way that I happened to make Jack Munroe famous. This Munroe was a miner working in Butte, Mont. He had been a good football player and amateur champion boxer of the Pacific coast. Long before we struck fluts our --- advance agent had picked him out. I didn't know, a thing about Munroe. The house that night was picked, and all the people there expected to see some fighting. The fellow who had been selected for Fitzsimmon didn't know how to fight, and he made such a poor exhibition that Fitzsimmon knocked him out in a round to end it. Moe La Fontise, a good little fighter from Montana, who won a lot of fights all over the west, went on next and knocked his man, some second rater named Foley, out in a round too. That left only Munroe and me. I wasn't much of a show to give with a packed house out in front. I told Fitzsimmons I was going to let Munroe stay as long as I could and try to give the people a run for their money. "Don't you be a fool," said Bob. "You get in there and finish him as quick as you can. You're champion, and you can't afford to fool around with a dun." I thought I knew best, so I went out and boxed lightly and gave the miner a chance to make a showing. I was careful not to hurt him. Fits was mad as a batter when I came back to my corner after the first round. He roasted me to a turn and told me to go out and end it. In the next round I sparred easily again, but I bit Munroe in the stomach and dropped him harder than I meant to, and I was afraid he wouldn't get up. But he did. In spite of Fits, who was almost raving, I let Munroe stick until the fourth round. Then I went in to finish him, but every time I feinted for an opening or stepped in with a punch he dropped to the floor without being hit and took the count. He was on his knees so much that I didn't have a chance to knock him out. That was all there was to the Munroe matter in Butte. That night Clark Ball had a falling out with Fitzsimmons. He rushed over and signed up Munroe and began wring all over the country, telling the papers that Munroe had won a decision over me in four rounds and had knocked me down. Fitzsimmons was sore as a bear. He offered to fight Munroe and give him $5,000 if he stayed two rounds. Neither Munroe nor Clark Ball could see it. and Munroe wouldn't fight me another four rounds for any amount of money. On the 1st of March, 1903, I met Jim Corbett in the Hotel Delavan to sign for another fight. Corbett had been challenging me for a long time, and all the papers were full of stories about it. We decided to fight twenty rounds in California for the best, purse above $25,000 offered by any club, the winner to take 75 per cent and the loser 25 per cent. A little later we accepted Jim Coffrout's offer for the Yosemite club of San Francisco, then the strongest boxing club on the Pacific coast. When the time came to train Corbett went to Croll's Gardens, in Alameda, one of the prettiest little towns on the coast, just across the bay from San Francisco, and I went back to Harbin Springs again. I like the Springs for a training camp. I had Bob Fitzsimons with me now as a sparing partner. Friends of mine came up and stayed at the hotel and watched my work every day. It was a sort of family party. When I was training at the Springs for the fight with Fitzsimons all the ladies and children at the hotel used to come down to the gymnasium and see us box. We were all good nurtured about it. laughing when we were hit hard. They used to go away and say, "Why, there isn't anything bad about fighting. It's just a game for his boys." I thought then I'd have to put on the date of the fight for a few weeks after a bull pup that we had in camp chewed holes in my leg that I could put my fingers into. My leg was all black and looked pretty bad. So I told Delaney, and he telephoned Coffrro in San Francisco. Coffrro came rushing up on the next train to Callistoga and took the stage over to Harbin. "Jeff, you can't postpone the fight," said Coffrro. "It will spoil the crowd. It'll cost you $20,000 if you don't fight on scheduled time." "I don't care," I said. "I'll not fight anybody unless I'm in shape." We argued and argued, and at last Coffroth said: "Jim, a lot of your friends have started to the coast from all over the country. Most of them are business men who can't afford to take another trip to see you fight. They can't stay over a couple of weeks for another date either. You don't want to throw them down." It hadn't attack me that way before. "I'll debt," I said. A day or two after that the doctor looked my leg over again and took the bandages off for awhile. He said there was no more danger of blood poisoning, and it was cheerful news to the whole camp. The bandages were replaced to cover the open wound, and I went off hotfoot for the gymnasium. For nearly a week the boys had been loafing. I called them together now, and we went at it for the hardest day's training I'd done yet. "You follows have had too much of a sump," I said. "I'm going to make you earn all of your money in a bunch now." I went after Joe Kennedy, and we had a regular fight. He walloped me on the jaw—as hard as he could, and it certainly did feel good after a week of laxity. I punched Joe in the ribs until he had a big red patch over the heart. Fits, who looked on that morning, caps around grinding and said, "Jim, you're as big and strong as a 'ouse.' We wound up with a hot sulphur bath in the springs and a rub-down. In the afternoon I bored and rongled around with Joe again and with my brother Jack and Fits in his pink and baby blue tights. I played handball, punched the bag, skipped the rope a thousand times and went for a run. When it was over some of us stood out in front of the hotel shooting at a post-600 yards away across the canyon. I used an automobile pilot and put several bullets into the post. I wound up by shooting all the spots out of a ten of diamonds nailed to a stump about fifty feet away. —Subscribe to the PLANET. Photo by American Press Association. JEWRIKS TRAINING FOR JOHNSON-BACK FROM A FISHING TRIP. And after that I felt like myself. I remember that I ate a whole chick- on for dinner that night, as well as a couple of good steaks. We still had time for a little fun. Fitz was a great practical joker. One of our friends at the Springs was a big policeman from East Oakland, who was on his vacation. He liked to joke too. One morning he rose before sunrise and stood in front of my cottage singing songs until he got us all out of bed. He ran out and chased him, but he escaped. After breakfast I happened to see him standing in front of the hotel. Now, there were a big fountain and morgue in front of the hotel. I went over and got down on my knees by the pool, at the same time tipping a wink to Fitz. "I don't see the goldfish this year," I called out. "There never were any goldfish," said the copper. "Oh, yes," I said. "Somebody turned a lot of them in here last year I used to see them swimming around." I leaned over and looked all around. "There goes one now," I yelled. The big cop dropped on his knees at the edge of the pool and craned his neck, and just then Fitz slipped up behind him quietly and gave him a shore. He took a due header, and before he could climb out again we were gone. That copper always thought I pushed him in, and it used to make me nearly explode when Fitz would go around with a solemne face and sympathize with him and agree that Jeff's idea of humor was a little too rough. I had a good joke on Fitz while winding up the training. I got Bob to go hunting with young Hayes and my self. We went straight away from Harbin, taking pack mules and blankets, and stayed three days. Hayes got a deer, and I got two. Coming back I hiked for camp with a back over my shoulders, and Fitz hipped in three or four hours behind me. He wouldn't quit, but in the mountains I could set a pace that carried Bob off his feet (Continued on Seventh Page) INVOCENT OF TIP8.

Jeffries was defeated at Reho Nevada after one of the most spectacular contests in the history of the prizing Johnson made many friends as a result of his fairness. He even held back when his antagonist was at his mercy. He showed too that he had many of the characteristics of the Southern colored man by his modesty, when victory was assured Thousands of white men and many colored ones lost heavily or this contest. Not that colored men did not hope that Johnson would win, but many of them were commercial and placed their money upon the man that they believed would win. We have never looked at the contest from a racial standpoint, although we naturally hoped that Johnson would acquit himself in a honorable and creditable manner and retain the championship. For him not to have done so would have reflected upon the colored people of the country. This is the condition confronting us at the present time. The reports of race riots throughout the country as a result of this test of athletic strength need hardly to be considered. It is the work of the politicians as usual. There has been no rupture of the friendly relationship between the better class of white and colored people. White men bet on Johnson and colored men bet on Jeffries. The friendly feeling shown in the Capitol Square in this city when the returns came, in last Monday evening showed conclusively that all of this talk of arousing race feeling on account of the showing of the films of the fight is more nonsense. Colored people in the North may not know how to conduct themselves, but colored folks in the South have learned the lesson by bitter experience. They can feel happy and say nothing. They can be sad and talk joyously. If Jack Johnson will continue his attitude assumed at Reno, Nevada July 4th, 1910, he will make many friends in this country of ours. He was backed by white men. He was managed by white men. He will make most of his money in the future out of white men and it comes with poor grace for any of us to discount the race that has given him the opportunity to display the remarkable qualities possessed by him. We have found that in all kinds of contexts and financial ventures STRAWS THAT HAVE MADE A HIT IN LONDON AND PARIS, AND PANAMAS IN DEMAND THE WORLD OVER. STRAWS THAT WERE $3 & $3 50. the friendship of certain white men is our most valuable asset, outside of our own efforts to merit their support and continue true to our racial traditions. The Johnson Jeffries fight may have injured us in some sections, and increased race prejudice in some others but on the whole, it has proven a god-sent blessing in showing that certain traits and characteristics are inherent in us and when fairly and fully developed make us one of the most powerful races of people on the face of the globe Colored people have a right to feel proud of the outcome at Reno, Nevada, but it should be devoid of that prejudicial feeling that causes some of us to flaunt the fact in the eyes of certain prejudiced white men. They want this as an excuse to do us an injury and we should not give them an opportunity. Our relationship to the average white man should be all the more friendly on account of the financial generosity of other white men in giving a member of our race an opportunity to display the rare prejudice we all that are in him. ```markdown ``` "Sane" Celebration.

BY JOHN L. SULLIVAN. Blue July 1 The fight of the century is over and a black man is the undisputed champion of the world. It was a poor fight as fighters got this less than fifteen rounds affault between James J Jeffries and Jack Johnson Scarecely ever has there been a championship contest that was one-sided. All Jeffries' much vaunted condition and the prodigious preparations that he went through a valued him nothing. He wasn't in it from the first bell tap to the last, and as he fell bleeding, cruised and weakened in the twenty-seventh second of the third minute of the nineteenth round, no sorrier sight had ever gone to make a pugilistic story. He was practically knocked out twice in this round Johnson's deadly left beat upon his unprotected head and neck and he went down for the count just before the second minute had gone in the fifteenth round as Johnson fell him the first time he was conscious but weakened. He tautfully waited for the timekeeper's call before he rose. When he did Johnson caught him flush on the jaw again and he fell almost in the same spot but further out, and as he leaned against the lower rope his great bulk crashed through outside the ring. His seconds and several newspaper men helped him into the ring again and he staggered weakly) over to the other side of the ring. Johnson slowly followed him measured his distance carefully, and as Jeff's head hung forward struck him hard in the face and again that terrible left hand caught him sending him feeling around to a stooping posture. SECONDS GIVE UP Johnson pushed his right hand hard as Jeffries wheeled around, and quick as a flash whipped his left over again and Jeff went down for the last time. His seconds had given it up. They didn't wait for the ten seconds to be counted but jumped into the ring after their man Billy DeLancey Johnson's chief second, always watchful for the technicalities, pulled his claim for the fight for his man in the breach of the rules by Jeff's handlers. Tay Rickard in the meantime, was ready to make himself heard, and he was saving that the fight was Johnson's. This time the crowd was realizing that Johnson had won out and there was very little cheered. Jeff had been such a dejected favorite, they could hardly believe that he was broken and that there wouldn't still be a chance for him to reclaim his lost barrels. The crowd was not even willing to leave the arena and as poor old Jeff sat in his corner being sprayed with water and other resuscitating liquids he was pitted from all sides. It was through and through a throw him down-McCloskey crowd without the rough house work in the famous song. The Negro had few friends but there was no demonstration against him. They could not help but admit Johnson because he is the type of prize fighter that he guarded brightly by sportsmen. He played fairly at all times and fought fatal. He gave in whenever there was a contitution and he demanded his rights only up to their limit but not beyond them. LICKED THE WINNER I have never witnessed a fight where I was in such a peculiar position. I all along refused to announce my choice as to the winner. I refused on Jeff's account because he was sensitive and I wanted to be with him some time during his training. I refused on Johnson's account because of my well-known antipathy to his race and I didn't want him to think that I was favoring him from any other motive than a purely slogging one. He might have got this impression although since I know him better in these last few weeks I am rather inclined to believe that he hasn't many of the petty mean nesses of human character You will deduce from the foregoing that I really had picked Johnson as the winner. My personal friends all know it. Even tries afferces one of it one day but I denied it this way. I said Jeff. I have picked the winner but I haven't done it publicly. A few personal friends know who I think will win, and I am not going to tell you before the fight. I don't want you to get any wrong impression. However the fact remains that three weeks ago I picked Johnson to win. It seems almost too much to say but I did say inside of fifteen rounds. A MERE SHELL. It is all over now, and it does not matter who I picked to win either Jeff or Johnson but the main theory I based my decision on was the old one that put me out of the game. Jeff could not come back. Jeffries was a mere shell of his former self. All the months of weight-reducing involving great fonts of exercise, had come to naught. The experts who figured that a man must receive his roward for such long, conscientious, muscle-wearing and nerve-reaching work, figured that he must get even providentially It seemed only just human nature that Jeffries must win, even in the face of all the features resting on the other side of the argument. For it is true, and probably would only be denied by Johnson himself, that the big colored champion didn't train conscientiously. As subsequent events prove, he didn't have to train more than he did, but nevertheless he took a chance, and by his manner and department seemed perfectly willing to stand the consequences, whatever they were. The result was success for him in its fullest meaning. Johnson got scarcely a hard knock during the whole encounter and was never bothered by Jeffries' actions one little bit. He came out of the fray without a mark if one, except the cut lip he got in the third round, which aroused to be only the opening of the old cut that George Cotton gave him the other day when dovoror Dickerson was out at his training quarters. Never before has there been a night for the championship of the world with so many peculiar ends to it because never before has a black man been a real contender for the championship. Johnson of course, was the credited champion even before today's fight by virtue of his defeat of Tommy Burns, but just the same the rank and of sporting people never gave him the full measure of his title. Jeffries has always been the bungabee of Johnson's championship career and it seemed to many that the big bolder-maker would go back into the fighting game and get himself into the fighting game and get obliterate this small victory on the pugilistic scoutchion Jeffries was persuaded against his will and he went to work with a willingness and determination that brought about wonderful results, but that couldn't bring back outraged old nature. EASILY WON Probably never before was a championship so easily won as Johnson's victory today. He never showed the slightest concern during the fifteen rounds and from the fourth round on his confidence was the most laring thing I ever saw in any fighter. He was the one person in the world at that moment who knew that Jef's best blow was packed away in his last fight and on the road and by the running brooks from which he lured the fish during his prellinuary training for his fight. It was a perfect picnic for this big Negro, who seemed to be enjoying himself rather than fighting for a $121,000 purse. It could not have been all assumed either as his remarks during the contest to me while I sat below and near him at the ringside showed that he had honestly a good opinion of himself. ROUND ONE - They approach each other and Jeffries walked around to the opposite side, which was Johnson's corner. They circled around for fully ten seconds. Johnson led with his left and landed lightly on Jeffries' nose. They kept close to each other, and seemed unwilling to break away Jeffries felted, and Johnson stood on his toes as he forced his man away with a left push and a light left punch on the jaw. In the clench which followed both worked their left hand for the others body. They were unwilling to break, and it was Jeff who was clenching. Jeff was doing all the clenching. As they sparred again Jeff tried to land his left on Johnson but Jeffron throw his head aside. Another clench as they slowly walked about hugging each other Jeff all the while calmly chewing gum. They sparred around each other again after the bride Johnson got in a clean left hand which just scraped Jeffries a chin. They fistfisted again and clenched. They were still clenching when the gong sounded. There was not anything but just cold water used during the intermission on both men. ROUND TWO Johnson led as Joffries fled for him. As they fled around Johnson stopped in and landed twice on Joffrey's chin. The second blow was harder than the first but a clutch followed. As they circlled around holding each other tightly, Johnson threw up his right and caught Joffrey on the chin. Here Thickard took a hand and it was his first interference. He told the men that they must break Johnson fenced with his left and Joffries came in and landed a right on Johnson's chin. As they were going to clutch Johnson put both hands tightly on Joffrey's chin. They sparred around after breaking Johnson fenced a left and Joffries ducked. Another clutch and Johnson used his favorite blow, a right hand upper arm in close. Another clutch followed and a naway Joffries fainted and as he came in with his parent's chin. a eye, which caused it to flush. At this stage it was seen that one of the early blooms of Joffries had drawn blood from Johnson's lip. Johnson was as jovial as he has ever been and laughed outright just before the round ended. Nothing was needed during the rast but some cold water. ROUND THREE- Johnson appeared the more earliness of the two. He talked to Jeff, derided him as he made feints for his head, and he essayed another feint. They came together in a clinch and held on to each other Johnson came up with his left hand on Jeffries's nose. He repeated it instantly, and in the clinch which followed brought left and right up to Jeffries's jaw. Then there was another clinch, and shortly after breaking away Johnson stopped in again and landed a right and left on Jeffries's upper arm, and Johnson brought his right down on Jeffries's neck. They were not damaging blows but they showed that Johnson had the better judgment in distance Johnson, in the sparring which followed, landed another left on Jeffries's chin Jeffries was getting the punching right along but seemed to be not at all worried His face was fushed, and he looked sarcastically as Johnson struggled around with him. He brought up his hand in attempting to uppercut again and it went past Jeffries's face. Johnson's wide arm was apparent to all in the vast throng. Johnson had done all the hitting so far, and he chuckled as he went to his corner He was in perfect good humor because his feints had brought nothing like a showdown from Jeff, and he was beginning to think the big fellow hadn't anything to show. ROUND FOUR—Joffries feinted with his left, but Johnson guarded with his right arm, Johnson landed on Joffries's right ear, and in the clutch brought his right hand up, but did not do any damage. He kept joshing joshing Joff all the time and Rickard admonished him that it was a fight and not a talkfest. Joff led and caught Johnson with a hard 'right' on the chin; Johnson brought both his hands around Joff's neck. The blood was trickling from Johnson's mouth here and they pinched. In the next warring Jeffries led low and Johnson called attention to it. Corbitt, from Jeff's corner, was trying to, disconcert Johnson, but the latter answered with a right on Jeff's chin as they came to a clich. Johnson stuck out another left straight for Jeff's head and it landed good and hard. In the clich which followed Johnson caught Jeff and dared him to bring forth those demon punches he was famous for. Johnson caught Jeff with a Jeff-hander on the jaw. While Johnson was being handled in his corner during the interval he looked down at John L. Sullivan and said that Jeff couldn't hit hard. ROUND FIVE—Jeff came away from his corner for this round in a low crouch. Johnson felted and Jeff stepped away Johnson kidden and saff." I will straighten you up in a minute." and the crowd heard it and said "He will straighten you up, nigger." Johnson led again with his left and landed on Jeffries's foot in the clutch which followed. the big black looked over Jeff's shouters and grinned. Johnson tried to get in his short rights, and one which caught Jeff's mouth cut his upper lip. Jeffries led, but fell short. Johnson met him and caught him with a straight left and right on the forehead. Johnson in the close brought his right hand up again on Jeff's mouth. Johnson caught Jeff's left hand and Jeff seemed bothered because he couldn't find an opening. As they stood off Jeff crouched, jumped to his toes and landed the first straight blow to his credit during the fight—a straight left on Johnson's forehead. ROUND SIX—As they advanced to the centre of the ring they both kept to their own sides Johnson was the first to start hostilities with a hard one to Jeff's body. He landed a loft on Jeff which rubbed a chook off and the blood trickled down the white man's face. Johnson brought his left back, shooting it again into Jeff's stomach. They broke away and sparred around the cleverness, but Jeff did not seem a bit disturbed except that he constantly chewed his gum. In the next passage Johnson caught him, probably the hardest blow so far, a straight left, a walloping hard one, on Jeff's jaw as the latter rushed in. The fiercest fighting so far followed this, but Johnson's blows were quicker and oftener. In the clench which followed, they hugged persistently Johnson landing his short arm deadoners and a hard left on Jeff's face caught the latter's eye. Johnson's blows were harder than they seemed. Jeff was bleeding from the nose and his damaged right eye was getting blacker and blacker each second. They worked hard over Jeff's body during the intermission, but it seemed to irritate him more than it did him good. He motioned them to let him alone. ROUND SEVEN - Jeff's right eye was closing as he came up for this round Johnson was first to load again in this round. As they clinched ed Johnson said. Come on you Jeff. They fiddled around for fully twenty seconds Jeff was more careful Johnson was grinning the white. As Jeff came forward Johnson would step back. Finally Jeff came in, but his left head went around Johnson and landed on his neck. Jeff's nose still kept bleeding all during the round Johnson feinted with a left and landed a right counter on Jeff's left shoulder. Then another clutch followed and Rickard told them to break Rickard was having very little to do up to this time, as both were fighting very squarely and fairly. In the next passage Johnson landed the most effective blow that had come across so far. It was a left on the chin but it was "mighty" powerful He followed this by a right on Jeff's face. Jeff was beginning to show the effect of the punishment. The hot sun beat down on the fighters and they persisted freely about the head though Jeff was exuding water from pretty every pore in his body. In the clutch which followed Johnson always struck up his left hand and landed it on Jeff's damaged face. While Johnson was being wiped and rubbed during the interval he kidded Corbett about what was being done in his corpse with an idea of rattling the chain Johnson eyed him this time and yelled "Too late now to do anything Jim your man is all in." ROUND EIGHT Johnson kept after Jeff all the time and as Jeff led Johnson would stop him coming in with a left on the chest. Jeff led again and caught a right on his car and a hard left on his face. In the next head Johnson led a scoring punch. It was a terrific straight punch on Jeff's nose. Then Jeff got in on Johnson's stomach a hard one but did not disturb Johnson and they hugged. When they broke away a gain Johnson punched another left in Jeff's face. Another clinch and Johnson grinned over Jeff's shoulder, and winking to the newspaper man, kept his left hand busy. It generally found a Teating place. The referee here admonished them to break. Jeff attempted to land a left for Johnson's head but Johnson stepped away and then he stepped in again and landed a left on Jeff's chin. They hugged around the ring and took their time about breaking. As they sparred for another opening Jeff led and landed slightly on Johnson's jaw. In the clinch, Johnson whipped his fight half across and just grazed Jeff's chin. They were clenching as the bell rang. On points and effectiveness the fight was going all Johnson's way. There was no hard work in Johnson's corner, during the minute rest, while Jeff's handlers were busy as bees. ROUND NINE - Jeff started to lead and landed a light left on Johnson's body. A clinch followed with Jeff doing the holding Johnson led on the break away and landed lightly on the chest. Another clinch followed. As they broke away Johnson landed a left on the chin and a right on the jaw. As they stopped in again Johnson's left found Jeff's stomach, and another clinch followed Jeff hugging to save himself. Johnson led a loft, shooting it across lightly on Jeff's face but Jeff stopped away and did not try to put in. Two straight lofts found Jeff's chin and stopped him completely. As they broke away Johnson stepped quickly in and landed his left in Jeff's stone. ach. Johnson kidded the big boiler- maker again as they passed each other going to their corners and Jeff was looking very much the worse for wear. ROUND TEN—Both fiddled and Johnson, feinted, but Jeff did not come in. Johnson tried another left, but Jeff stepped away. On his next attempt he landed on Jeff's face and then they clinched. Jeff all this time had not landed a real blow. Jeff tried a right counter, but it didn't go through; then they clinched. Jeff was half-hearted in his lead, and it brought nothing more than a clinch. Johnson shot over a straight right and landed on Jeff's face. It was a clean blow, starting just as Jeff came in. Johnson landed a hard left on Jeff's stomach, and all that Jeff, could do was to plant both his hands on the Negro ribs. In the clutch which followed this Johnson did effective work with his short arm punches, landing left and right on Jeffries's face. Jeff essayed another lead when they came to the clutch. Jeff appeared tired as he went to his corner, and his handlers looked worried. Johnson on the other hand, was keeping cool and nobody in his corner was the least bit flustered. Mrs Johnson from about the sixth row on the West side of the arena signalled to Johnson that he was doing great work "Keep it up, Jack." she shouted ROUND ELEVEN—They fiddled for an opening, and Johnson landed a light, right on Jeff's cheek as they clinched, in the clinch Johnson landed a hard left on Jeff's chin. As Jeff broke away Johnson was right on top of him with the worst of it in this encounter, but left and right, but Jeff's attempts were like pawing the air. He got all he made an attempt to get back. It did not seem to worry the Negro one bit. Johnson was working his close blows to perfection, and in every clinch he managed to land a right or left-hand uppercut Jeff's judgment of distance was pliful to look at. He was spitting quantities of blood and breathing laboriously. Johnson was worrying him greatly, and he was holding on. Johnson was working his famous short arm punches like piston rods. As they broke away the turned Jeff's head clear around with a left on the jaw. A clinch followed with Jeff doing it all. He didn't seem to have the punch and Johnson was landing almost as he pleased. A straight right on the chin caught Jeff and he wobbled. He pushed his hands before him, trying to hit the big Negro, but Johnson dangled a left on the bleeding mouth just as the round closed. It was all Johnson's round, and there was no betting against him anywhere. | ROUND TWELVE—JEFF was worried, for, try as he would, he could not reach Johnson, but he must feltut and every time he came in he caught a left or right somewhere where it hurt. In the cinches that followed Johnson put three more rights on Jeff's jaw and Jeff clung to him. He was showing his punishment very plainly, and was weakening fast. He did not try to hit Johnson. He was hugging all the while. Johnson meantime was landing hard lefts and rights on Jeff's nose mouth and jaw. Jeff was getting very tired. He was covered with blood. As he fiddled around for a breakaway Johnson caught another hard right and a straight left and he clinched again. As they brought Johnson landed another left in the face and brought his right over on the jaw for good measure. Johnson went to his corner smiling and Jeff was very tired. ROUND THIRTEEN--Joe worked slowly toward Johnson and essayed a left hand feint which produced a delichin Hero Johnson called to a friend in the crowd over Jeff's shoulder "Hello, Tom." Jeff's efforts very very clumsy. In the next passage Johnson planted another left on Jeff's nose and also brought his right over. One left followed another from Johnson and they landed where he aimed them. Then there was a clinching. Jeff was not near as steady on his feet as the Negro was. In the clinches he brought his left into Johnson's stomach and John son looked over his shoulder and never made an attempt to resist the punches aimed at his ribs. This looked like the beginning of the end Johnson landed a left and right on Jeff's face. Jeff clinched, and John son mercilessly beat away at him Jeff was a sight to behold. His face was cut in six places, and he was still golag after Johnson Johnson brought some left across, and they always caught Jeff on the face Jeff's arms seemed like lead, and he could scarcely raise them, let alone hit Johnson. As the gong sounded, Jeff walked away slowly. He seemed to be all broken up, and refused to be encouraged by his seconds. Johnson was jovial at all times. ROUND FOURTEEN — Johnson lost no time in this round, and planted ed that ever ready left in Jeff's face, and Jeff hugged on. As he stopped away he caught another left on his face. In the clinch that followed, he tried to bring his right up on Johnson's jaw and landed lightly, but never bothered the big Negro. Jeff tried a right swing, but Johnson anticipated it and led a left on Jeff's face. Jeff straightened, the crowd yolling. He tried a straight left for Johnson's face. He landed but it made no impression, only to bring a laugh from Johnson, and in the next clinch he dared Jeff to hit him. Just to see how hard he could do it. Jeff starred to use his great strength and put all his weight in a body blow while he was clinching with Johnson. Johnson pushed him away and brought his left around on Jeff's jaw. Jeff tried two ineffectual leets, but Johnson got too close. Johnson kidded all his attempts. During the minute rest only water was being used in Johnson's corner, while in Jeff's they were bringing everything into play that they had. ROUND FIFTEN—Johnson mot Joff in the centre of the ring and sent a left to Joff's eye and then they clinched. Johnson broke quickly and shot a left from his hip straight into Joff's face. Joff tottored and went down on the knee of the ring. He fell on both knees, and as the timekeeper and referee yelled at him the number of seconds he turned around and rested one foot on the door-looking the white toward the timekeeper. Johnson walked about the centre, craftily eying his big $8.50 RECIPE CURES WEAK MEN—FREE Send Name and Address Today— You Can Have It Free and Be Strong and Vigorous, I have in my possession a pres- scription for nervous debility, lack of vigor, weakened manhood, failing memory and lame back, brought on by successes, unnatural drains, or the following youth, that has cured so many wounds and nervous men right in their own homes—without any add- itional help of medicine—that I think every man who wishes to regain his many power and vitality, quickly and quietly, should have, copy. So I have determined to send a copy of the prescription free of charge, in a plain, ordinary sealed envelope to any man who will write me for it. This prescription comes from a physician who has made a special study or men and I am convinced it is the surest acting combination for the cure of deficient manhood and vigor failure over put together. I think I owe it to my fellow man to send them a copy in confidence so that any man anywhere who is weak and discouraged with repeated failures may stop drugging himself with harmful patent modifiers, secure that bellow is the quickest-acting orative, upbuilding, SPOT-TOUCHING remedy ever devised, and so cure him at home quietly and quickly.

A great many doctors would charge $3.00 to $5.00 for merely writing out a prescription like this—but I send it entirely free. opponent. Jeff waited for nine and then arose. Johnson stepped in as he got on his feet and whipped an elf left full on the face and Jeff went down again almost in the same place but this time he crashed through the ropes. Several of his seconds and some newspaper men helped to get him back in the ring again and John son coolly watched the proceedings from more than halfway across the ring. When Jeff landed inside again he was reeling, but not nearly as far gone as lots of fellows who have been down twice for the count. He staggered over to the east side and Johnson stepped into him as he came over and sent him reeling with a right on the ear. As he turned around ready to close down, John son's left again found the already battered and beaten face. As Jeff sank sideways to the floor the immenso crowd was on its feet, some yelling and some choring. Johnson calmly walked around his big opponent toward his own corner. His seconds were already getting his chair ready to push through the ropes for him to sit on. Timokeeper Harting' was yelling at the top of his voice the enumerated seconds. About eight seconds from the time Jeff went down one of his handlers broke through into the ring. He was closely followed by two more. That was sufficient to end the fight according to the rules. Billy Dellney, always Johnny on the spot for transgressions like these broke through the ropes and made his way to Tex Rickard, loudly demanding the fight for his man. Tex in the meanwhile, was trying to make himself heard to the effect that he had already decided Johnson the winner, the fight was over, and Joff was being dragged to his corner. Johnson walked over ostensibly to shake hands with his beaten foe, but the crowd in the ring was too much for him and he was dragged away by his seconds. Joffries stayed there for fully ten minutes after the final gong with his seconds fusing over him and trying to bring him to some kind of presentable shape. The round lasted according to Timekeeper Harting, two minutes and twenty-five seconds. -- Make your engagements for the Mechanics' Bank Roof Garden next Thursday night. Nice and cool up there, too.

One of the launches picked up the body of Mrs Bowyer with grappling lines. A few minutes later the bodies of Nason and Thomas were found almost simultaneously. They were about four feet apart and each about six feet from the body of Mrs Bowyer. The closeness of all the bodies indicated strongly that they had gone down together, the slight separation being accounted for by the drifting with the tide. The circumstances bear out exactly the theory that was most strongly held that Mrs Bowyer had got into deep-water and the midshipmen had tried to save her life.

The words that I speak unto you they are spirit. And they are life. John 4: 6 The purpose of giving so many forms of review as the following is that the teacher may select the form that appeals to him most, or that he thinks will be most useful with his class. Sometimes it will be best to combine two or more plans. 1. A "PUT YOURSELF IN THEIR PLACE" REVIEW Make a list of persons concerned with these lessons and give each scholar a list in advance, for him to answer the questions. "What lessons should the disciples have learned from these events?" And the Pharisees? And Herod? And John the Baptist? And Peter? And the people of Capernaum? And the lad with the lunch? And the Canaanite woman? Etc. To answer these questions the scholar will be obliged to bring together all the lessons in which each character appears. 2. A "SEVEN-GREAT-CHAPTERS" REVIEW If there are seven scholars in your class, assign to each of them one of the seven chapters of Matthew which we are to review. He is to write out a list of questions on his chapter, the teacher helping him if necessary, and these questions are to be asked the class on Sunday. Thus all will study all the chapters, to answer the questions, while each will make a special study of the chapter on which he prepares questions. Of course, if you have fewer than seven scholars, you will give some scholars two chapters. If you have more than seven scholars, divide some of the chapters 3 A QUESTION EXCHANGE REVIEW Every scholar is to write out, at home, two questions of his own on each lesson we are reviewing. His questions are to be on the points that he considers the most difficult, and each question is to be written on a separate slip of paper. In the class these questions will all be jumbled together in a box, and the scholars will draw them in turn and answer them. If desired a record may be kept of the number that each scholar answers correctly. 4 A PICTURE REVIEW If you have been using in your teaching Wilde's little Pictures, you can make a pleasant review by fastening a tape to the top of each and putting them all in a portfolio, the tapes alone projecting. You will have removed or covered up all indications on the pictures of what lesson each refers to. The scholars will draw these pictures forth by the tapes, one at a time, each scholar telling all he can about the lesson whose picture he has drawn, and the other scholars listening carefully so as to add the points he may omit. If you have time, repeat the review in the same way except that the second time as each scholar draws out his picture the rest will question him about that lesson. 5 THE '1881 YEARS LATER' REVIEW Each scholar in preparation for this review, is to go over the lessons and to and for each lesson some modern application- some suggestion for our daily lives or for society or the nation and the world in 1910. These lists are to be brought to the class and read aloud, except so far as they may contain duplicate thoughts class, a week in advance, a number of subjects, each of which calls for a wide survey of all the lessons Every scholar is to select one of the topics and examine all the lessons to get light upon it reporting the results to the class the next Sunday. Here are some subjects that you may use. The miraculous power possessed by Christ. What these lessons show about the nature and character of Christ. What the events of these lessons taught the disciples. What Christ, in these lessons taught about our duty to one another and to God. How Christ in these lessons showed the love of God to infinity. How Christ in these events showed his courage. The most helpful verse or saying in each lesson. 7 A "WORKS AND WORDS VIEW Ask each scholar to make a chart at home, covering the entire series of 12 lessons that relate to Christ. Let them classify each lesson according as Christ's "works" or "words" are promised in it, or both and let them add the other facts given in the following chart. Explain what you want very clearly, and compare the charts in the class, lesson by lesson. Fighting is hard work whatever sort of fighting it is. You cannot light without wounds of body, heart, or soul. ```markdown ``` Happiness in Unselfishness. Some of the best and happiest hours possible for a man's life are held in trust for him, so to speak, by his fellow men. He cannot get them or enjoy them by himself, and if he does not love and serve his kind, he will Easily miss them, and be the weaker and poorer for the loss.—New Guide. The trust love must ever seek the highest good of its object; sometimes even with forgetfulness of important smaller advantages. POULTRY IN THE POULTRY HOUSE. The male is half the pen—it pays to get the best you can buy. Pullets are the best layers. Old hens bring the egg record down. But of course there are always exceptions. The removal of nesting material, and refilling with clean dry nesting, is a great help in keeping down the lice. Poultry is one of the best paying things on the farm when properly cared for and brings in something every month of the year. If one wants to breed from 20 to 25 hens, two males should be used on alternate days. While one is running with the hens the other should be cooped and fed exxn. One of the most difficult things for a beginner in poultry raising to learn is to cull closely, and there are others besides the beginners that need to practise this necessary thing. A film of kerosene over the drinking water will prevent one chick's catching disease from another; also it will cure slight colds, an easy preventive and no possible harm in it. The bens will lay better and do better every way if no males are allowed to run with them, and the eggs will not become stalo anywhere near so quick as when males are kept with the flock. A uniform flock all of one kind of fowls is more satisfactory in appearance, more easily handled and gives more uniform results and a considerable greater profit, than a mixed lot of different kinds. Beware of feeding new corn to turkeys or fowls you are preparing for the market. For heavy feeding for fattening purposes old grain is safest and gives much the best results. This is particularly true in regard to fattening turkeys. One good male and eight or ten of the best females will produce all the hatching eggs wanted on the average farm, and separate quarters should be provided for them and the run of the farm given to the main flock of laying hens and pullets. Onions chopped fine and mixed with the hen's food occasionally will promote health. Onions are a great poultry tonic and they are relied on by fowls old and young. Our fall hatch chicks tumble over one another to get to their food when onions are mixed with it. TRAP NESTS ARE VALUABLE *Permit Poultryman to Keep Record of Each Hen and Weed Out Poor Ones—How Used.* I presume every one knows what trap nests are by this time, and so will merely say that they are nests in which the hen that lays the egg is confined until a record is made of her achievement, when the trap is again set for another hen. I know of just two kinds of trap nests, one that closes as soon as the hen goes in and the other that is closed only after the egg has been laid. In the former kind the hen is shut in whether she lays or not, and as hens are often curious they may be caught in this way and confined unnecessarily, writes W. H. Home-Made Trap Nest. Warner in Orange Judd Farmer. In the other kind the hen may go in and out at pleasure but cannot be confined until after the egg has been laid, since the egg itself is used for closing the trap A trap nest is in the practical poultryman what the Habeck test is to the dairyman. It gives each her's record of egg laying. Thus the poor layers may be picked out and the good ones favored. It is better for the poultryman to get rid of these hens and their progeny as early as possible, especially where poultry are kept in eggs, and it is easier to build up a laying strain of fowl than a good milking strain of dairy cattle. A handy trap nest is shown in the accompanying picture. It is so simple that any one can make it. It is, in fact, merely an ordinary nest with a circular or square opening in front. The door, as shown, is of very light stuff, pivoted at the top. When the nest is set, a wire runs across the opening and ricks against a piece of tin projecting from the opposite hole. When the hen enters, she lifts the loose and which permits the door to drop behind her. After she has laid, she is removed and the trap set for the next one.

GOOD ALL-PURPOSE CHICKEN Should Possess Egg-Laying Qualities and Mature Quickly for Market—Plymouth Rock Exoske. (By W. M. KELLY.) The first thing to consider when selecting a breed is the purpose we desire them for. There are some breeds of poultry that are adapted to but one purpose and that is laying eggs, among them being what poultrymen call the Medi terrancon breeds such as the Leghorna, Minorcas, Hamburg and others. These are very good breeds but what a beginner is after is a ban that will set and hatch some nice young chickens and take care of them in the heat abape. He will also want a breed that will be ideal for market, one that will mature early, have a nice clean color, be good layers, lay good-sized eggs, active enough to be good rastlers after True Type of Barred Rocks. grasshoppers and worms be good setters and mothers, easily tamed and handled and a breed that will bear confinement well There are many excellent breeds of this class found among what are known as the American breeds The Plymouth Rocks Rhode Island Reds, the Wyandotte, and other breeds belong to this class The Brahms Cochins, Langshangs and others of the large breeds of Aslatic class are not as good layers as the smaller breeds they are more in clined to be broods and as a rule are not as good custars as the American breeds and for that reason I would not adduce one to select one's foundation, stock from that kind of breeding When we look the field all over there is no breed that stands pre-eminently at the head of the utility class like the Plymouth Rocks and I do not believe that a person would go wrong if he selected stock from some good stock of that breed The Plymouth Rocks lay good sized eggs that are of a nice shape and color. Of the various breeds of Rocks I would choose the White Rocks, as it is easier to breed them true to color to dress very clean and white when killed for marking. The Ruff Rocks and the Barred Rocks are excellent tools and are fully as good in many respects as the White Rocks but one will find it much easier to breed birds of a solid color and keep them true to type and markings than to breed the colored broods. For a child that will grow fast and mature early I know of no breed superior to the White Rocks. They have a plump body and are attractive in the market and when full grown have the weight that makes them bring home the money that it cost to grow them. The cockroaches that are to be sold in the fall make quite an important item for us to consider and the White Rocks cannot be excelled in this point. When the hens are too old to keep for egg producing purposes it is quite an important item to have them weigh six to eight pounds. There is an increasing demand for dressed fowls and if you have egg cus tomers you should be able to make an rangements to supply them with dressed poultry what you lered and get the top price for your surplus stock. Charcoal for Chicks. Charcoal may be obtained from any dealer in poultry supplies at a cost of about one dollar per 100 pounds. If the reader does not understand how to burn wood for charcoal, it is perhaps cheaper to buy the prepared article. Wood may be easily converted into charcoal by getting a quantity of it to burning in a pit then cover the top of the pit with an iron covering and leave it to smolder till the fire dies out. Pulverize the charcoal till it becomes powder and mix it with the soft feed Dry Pickling Chickens. Most markets require that picking be done dry. Any one can become an expert in this manner of picking with a little study and experience. As soon as the bird has been killed and while it is still bleeding, the feathers should be removed, care being taken not to tear the skin. The picker should not wait till the bird has bled, because it will become cold then and the feathers will not be removed so easily. Killing is generally done by sticking the knife in the roof of the mouth. White China Geese Popular. The white china geese are thought by many to be the best layers of all geese. A good breeding geese two years old or older with good care will lay from 35 to 60 eggs in a season. Breeding geese should not be 'bo' too fat, as the eggs from fat geese never hatch. In the summer, when they can get plenty of grass, they do not need a single kernel of grain and they will thrive and keep in fine condition with out it. Eacapod. "Did he not ask you for my hand?" "I did not even see him." "But I sent him to your study to see you." "Well, he wasn't there when I went in, though I heard the front door slam, and the papers on my study table—the bills for your Easter bonnet and gowns—were all disarranged."

Breed the kind of animals the mark kod demands—not what you like best. Rough, hilly land that will hold grasses makes the best sheep pastures. To stuff the flock one week, starve it the next is a sure way to produce very bad effects. Good care and food, comfort and quietude should be meted out to eav ery animal hearing young. Marsh water will sooner or later cause disease in the flock. It generally abounds with parasites. During the hot summer months sheep often suffer for want of clear, cool water. This should always be supplied. A mixture of a little salt, charcoal, ashes and air slaked lime has a good effect upon parasites of the digestive system of either young or old pigs. Mature sows can raise two litters of pigs a year but the little follows should not be allowed to suckle for more than eight or ten weeks. From five to twenty acres of corn planted with a view to lotting the hogs harvest it has proven a very profitable investment for many farmers.

CARCASS-SPLITTING MACHINE Invention of Great Interest to Farm Butcher—Hog Can Be Spilt Quickly and Pushed Along. An invention of interest to the farm butcher is this carcass-splitting machine, says Farm Press. With it the carcass of a hog can be quickly and neatly bleached as it is pushed along the runway. The machine consists of an inclined plane with two saw wheels operating between its sides. One of these wheels is above the other and set a little farther back, following the incline of the stand. The lower wheel is operated by a chain run- A Carcass Politter. bling over the power wheel, below the platform, and it in turn operates the upper saw. The carcase is frunfled along the supporting track and when the machine is reached is turned so that the saws can fly through it in the desired direction. It is then passed over the machine and rolled on for the next operation in the process. One on the Hotel Man.

By its use very little grain is wasted and what falls to the ground is picked up by the hogs This particular self-feeder was set in an open feed lot near a cattle shed in which a hay bag came close enough to replace the manger It could be set in the shed, however, if thought desirable In these days of the scarcity of farm help it is the brain work that is put into such little accessories as this that count and help to solve the problems which confront the present day farmer PASTURE FOR SPRING LAMBS Farmer With Limited Number of Animals Should Strive to Put Every Pound Possible on Them (By J. MOTIS) In these days of high priced meat the farmer with a limited number of lambs should strive to put every pound possible upon them by the most approved feeding and by excellent pasture. As soon as the lambs are weaned and taken from the ewes a great deal of care should be used in providing them with just the grazing which will make them grow fast, and put flesh upon their bones rapidly. The pasture should be judiciously selected. It should be young pasture, preferably raps or clover. The grain ration should be a little more than they had before they were weaned; say about a pound of oats daily. No corn should be fed to the lambs. To complete the allowance they should be well fed on turnips, cabbage, carrots, mangel wurzels and other succulent root feed. The allowance of oats may seem small to some feeders, but the experience of sheep man has shown that excessive feeding of grain seriously reduces the capacity of the lamb's stomach for all time. I am a great believer in root crops for lambs and sheep, as well as for all other farm stock, and do not think any farmer will have the best success with his lambs unless he grows a good supply of these crops. In the summer care of lambs a great deal of thought should also be given to providing them with good shoater from storm, excessive rains and other dad weather. There should be some roomy, protected place at the barn large enough to accommodate all your lambs, where they may take refuge during severe weather—some place walled in against blowing rains, and yet not too dark.

It should be clean and kept thickly floored with nice dry straw or hay, so the lambs will be comfortable and at ease, no matter how bad the weather. It should not be near the stalls of the horses and mules and there should be no loud harsh notices around the barn while the lambs are bedded down in the straw.

JURGEN'S SON, ADAMS AND BROAD STREETS --- BETTER SATURDAY... JULY 9, 1910 There is Nothing of the "Yellow" About Johnson. Jeff's Master at All Times. BY MIKE MERPHY Reno. July 4 — I have no pleasure in saying, I told you so. I *picked* the winner, and my judgment that Jeffries was not in shape to cope with this wonderful Negro has been indicated, but, like all Americans who admire Jeffries, I cannot but feel the deepest regret over his downfall. It is a pity that he allowed them to bring him back in the ring to meet a man who was his master in every particular. And yet it is not fair to permit this sentiment to take from Johnson one lota of the credit that is his. It must be remembered that he has beaten fairly the man who has been acclaimed the greatest fighting man the world ever know, and he did it fairly and squarely, absolutely on his morals. Regret over the defeat of the white gladiator should not let anyone commit the unsportsmanlike fault of tying to Johnson the glory that is his. He is a real champion, a phenomenon, and for the first time he showed the world just. Now good he is. HAS NOT A MARK. I have just left Johnson. He has not a single mark. He came out of the contest as though he had never had a glove on. And I have to give him the credit that he is not chesty over his victory. In fact, I was surprised at his modest bearing. And yet there is no cheering in Reno. Everything is sadness and ply for the boiler maker, who has ended his ring career that had previously been unmarried by even a knockdown, in defeat and humiliation. And yet there is no doubt that the best man won Jeffries was never in the fight from the very beginning. He hardly landed a good blow in the entire fight. Johnson was his smiling, taunting master at all times. In fact there never has been a greater display of superiority. Johnson really overmatched him. He had Jeffries spitting Blood early in the goaling, and from the way he went a round the conqueror of Fitzsimmons Corbett, Rublin and Sharkey, one might have thought that Jeffries was a novice nitted against a top notcher. It was a square standup fight all the time, and to the credit of both men he it said that there was no shadow of faking nor was there a blint of foul fighting. Neither man tried to take any improper advantage, and Jeffries even after he must have known that defeat was certain still retained his head, and made no attempt at anything dirty ALWAYS HIS MASTER Both in fighting and at long range Johnson had the mastery all the time and took it all so easy that it seemed like a joke for him. I wonder now what some of those people think who contended that Johnson lacked the courage to stand up and take the gaff. They were poor prophets. There is nothing yellow about this champion. His courage is as white as his skin is black. I fell this right along too for as I have said before Johnson did not act to me like the kind of a man who is a quitter. Johnson actually made fun of Jeff's attempts to hit him and it was with a purpose for as time went on and Jeff says that he could not reach his opponent that he was like a trained hover the bollermak of became desperate, fought wild and really decreased his ranges. Jeffries could not waltstand the awful left of the Nero. It had been said by many that while Johnson had a good right his left was no good. This was not borne out to-day. Every time that Jeffries came in Johnson was there with that awful left, left and poor Jeff was graft and battered into sabbageon. It was with a Jeff upstairs that Johnson nearly put him out in the eleventh. Again in the thirtieth he nearly had him Jeffries had based his hope on getting at John's stomach. Futtle efforts. Every time he worked his left for the Johnson punch the Johnson arm were there. That black guard was impregnable a marshal. Johnson demonstrated that he is a fighter as well as boxer. In fact I should say that he was twice as good a fighter as boxer for he displayed in marked degree the qualifications of the fighting man. He kept his head and his courage was right at all times. He did what he set out to do and did it well and it will be many a day before they can get a man to beat him. The crowd was as fast as it could be just as I know they would be both from what I had seen of the sports here, and from my knowledge that Reno has a man for a sword who had determined on the fairest kind of fair play. PITIABLE SPECTACLE I had a good chance to look at Jeffries after he left the ring. He was a pittable spectacle. His right eye is closed, and he is badly marked up in the face. Otherwise, he is not seriously injured, and the most talked of fight form many years comes to a finish without serious damage being done to either of the contenders. During the closing rounds, Jeffries was constantly splitting blood and this bothered him quite a little. It is a very sickening thing to the stomach to have the blood flow from the mouth, but it is probable that, try as he would, Jeff could not help swallowing some of it. $^2$ Jeffries went through the fight in fairly good shape. I do not think that his confidence really began to fall him until about the seventh round. Then he sounded to begin to realize that he had a tough job on hand. His wind was good, but I am convinced that the fat under the abdominal muscles, to which I called attention in a previous story, was there, and did its deadly work in lessening his vitality. In fact, it is useless to deny that Jeffries was only a shell, only a shade of his former self. As for hitting the black champion, he might as well have taken a crack at the moon. When he rushed he left himself open for that terrible left, while the colored man could land anywhere he wanted, at any quick time, and never left an opening for the potter-maker to take advantage of. In fact, it was perhaps the most one-sided fight on record for a world's championship. Bitterest of all in Jeffries's case was the thought that he had failed to take the kind of advice that might have enabled him to win or at least to give a harder battle. Beat Jeffries With Stomach Blows. BY JACK JOHNSON My battle with Mr Jeffries turned out just as I predicted it would when the match was first made. At no time during my training did I feel that Jeff would give a tough argument, and after we had fought the first round I was positive that he was my man. They talked about his great strength in the papers day after day. They said he would pull me around the ring and handle me like a child, but I fooled them. He was not stronger than I was. In fact I had little trouble in handling him in the clinches. STOMACH PUNCHES DID IT It was in the clinches that I hurt him most and the stomach punches I landed at close quarters were the ones that told the story. When he came at me I waited for his rushes and when clinched I found it an easy matter to pull my left hand loose and hook him on the head and body with out ever taking a chance of getting a return. His punches appeared slow to me, and with the exception of a few left jabs that I happened to overlook he never hurt me in the least. Most of his attempts for the body caught me on one side when they were not blocked. My arms are all sorry to the elbows from taking his drives there but I would much rather have them there than where they were meant for JEFFERIES WAS GAME Yes you can say for me that Jeffries is a game man and no mistake I had him beaten long before the finish and he knew it, but he was allways ready to take a chance. Many times after the first round I could see fire in his eyes, as he rushed at me with both hands. He was desperate and was taking a long chance in dropping me with a punch. I discouraged him by standing still and taking the blows, on the arms, and then returning with hard uppercuts on his bad right eye. I think that took the confidence out of him, when he began to feel the eye closing. His punches were getting weaker and less accurate after, I had the eye damaged, and instead of being aggressive and willing he was satisfied to try and block my blows. HIT JEFF WHEN HE PLEASED Jerries figured that he was going to get hit before he went into the ring. He knew that I would beat him up and around the face, but his battles with Corbett and Fitzalmons were fresh in his memory then, but he didn't figure on my strength and ability to keep it up. Jeff had an idea that he could beat me down after I had had my rally. He thought I would be easy after a few rounds, and that with his bull dog rushes he would take off my foot. I fouled him, though, and I when he started to take it back, I met him with all force and perked him wherever and wherever I pleased. As I said before, when I grew a bit tired he was as sure to hit as my man I ever faced. When in the twelfth round I got tired hitting him and fell for it for him. He was safe, I took all his hurt off and he took all his hurt off and saw from the jungle I knew I could get much further. I left was blending badly from the past and youth and was a beetle beating on man when I finished him. It was a beetle beetle but I did the most daring work with the left and it was a same left book that loomed left teeth that rooted up Kethels. KNOCKED OFF OUT TWICE There was no chance for Jeff to stand up under those last patches. I sat all the time I had in them and they landed clean. The first one caught him under the chin and he fell like a dog. He was hurt but still had strength enough to get up on one knee. He was helpless when he got up thoung and I measured him again with the left catching him flush on the mouth and putting him through the ropes. When he was pushed back into the ring I saw he was done. He coughed out some teeth and set himself to start in a gain. He couldn't, see clearly and when I feinted he dropped his guard for an instant, just long enough for me to send in another left that sent him to the mat. The referee started to count over him and as he tollled off the last two seconds Sam Berger jumped into the ring and picked Jeff up. Jeff was counted out by rights when he was knocked through the ropes. Riekard had just finished counting him out when he got back in a standing position again, but as long as his seconds wanted him to take another chance I said nothing. I gave him plenty of time to call it off and even appointed to his handlers, but they only scowled at me and yelled at Jeff to take another chance. He did, and it was his finish Joff might train again and boat all the other fellows in the ring to-day, and I think he can, but he will never FIGURE IT OUT with the rent = $300 now at $3000 come the home you have paid for A-514 The above illustration is in the case of a party who has been paying rent 10 years, amounting to $3,000.00, and yet does not own a home I want you to think about this and then come to see me, or I will call to see you.
