Fruits of the BruIslng ,Tau.a.

one day last week, while the mighty Sullivan
was pounding away at the ball with sledge-
hammer blows, one OF his humble imitatOrs
was discovered In Held near REM park. He
was O thin frecklefaced urchin, who Is des-
tined TO struggle through life with the name
OF Pepper McShane. There were "spring open
ipgs" at various places in his coat and short
bteechee, and through hole In his hat n TUT
OF bright red hair cleaned. When first dis.
covered he was engaged in tramping around a
circle thirty feet in diameter, with the swlng
OF an old pedestrian.
"What Is this? A'walktng match7" was asked
OF several small boys, who were Interested
spectators of the performance
NAV; Pepper be's training. He's goin' ter
fight Billy O'Flyna on Friday night an he'e
giitln' himself in shape, same asSulltvan is."
"What are they going TO tight for?"
"Why, we see, Pepper and Billy both wants
TO work Sixth and Walnut with the afternoon
papers. If Pepper wins he'll take the place"
"Wlll he vim"
"You bet; McShane amt drlnkin' n lrop
now, an he's let up on chewlu an smokln'l
Billy O'Flynn chews list the same as ever, an
eats all the candy he kin hook. You bet
Peppers winner In the second round"
Al this point the bold McShane finished his
exercise, and was taken to a neighboring
brick yard shed to be rubbed down. Phila-
