Through advertisements they solicited
investments of money in sums of any

small sums i'll one operation they were
able to secure extraordinary returns from
the investments. They agreed to make
monthly reports to individuals, and occa-
sionally, with the purpose of Turing their
victims into making further investments,
they remitted to them small sums of
money, sometimes as much as 81 or 80 per
cent. of the original investment. In the

Interest in the ring is being revived by
the appearance on the scene of the veteran
prize-fghter, Mace, and his pupil. Slade.
Slade is spoken of as MAORI y but like
so many of the members Of primitive races
that we meet in museums and circuses,
is OF Irish extraction, his father being
James Slade, of Dungarvan. The Maori
connection is ON his mothers side.
From all the accounts, he does
nos appear to have much

Mace under the idea that he can take
punishment wonderfully well, and
therefore can stand up against Sullivan.
Mace, in recent interview says. what is
perfectly true, that s'science" in sparring
is thing of the past, This, no doubt, ex-
plains why the art of reporting prize
tights has disappeared. A prize fight has
BECOME nothing more than a pummeling
