Duncan c.. Ross Tells How the Story
of His Entering the Ministry Got
Out-Some of His Fighting Expert

Meeting With the Greek Wrestler.
The recent match between Duncan G.
Ross, the Scotch athlete, wrestler and
swordsman, and Greek George recalls the
story that went the rounds of the country a
couple of years ago about Ross entering
the ministry. 1t was the sensation of the
hour in the sporting world. Ross life was
written up, and his success and failure
We're both predicted.
1t was about the time that the athletes
wife died, and he was keeping big saloon
in Cleveland. O., the income of which was
$50 a week The death of his helpmate
''Sort of broke up Ross, and he was unde-
cided as TO his future plans He had given
out that he would sell his saloon and quit
the business.
A REPORTERS STORY,
A Cleveland newspaper reporter asked
him what he was going to do. The Scot
replied that he didn't know; that he w S
undecided Just then what he should do.
The reporter persisted and nsinuatiugly
remarked. "now you know, Mr.. Ross, the
people are interested in your movements
can't YOU give me some idea of what yod
think YOU will do, if you do not know just
what YOU will dos" Ross was staggered,
but replied off hand that he might study
medicine, might go into the ministry, or do
numerous other things.
From this interview emanated the report
that Ross was henceforth to be a converted
saloon keeper minister, and it was tele-
graphed from one end of the country to the
other 1t resulted in the publication of hui
morous efforts in Feck'S Sul and New
York's Puck and Judge, which purported
to be extracts from his first sermon.
CARTooNED AS PREACHER.
One paper published cartoon represent
ing the big Duncan grabbing half a dozen
of his congregation by their trousers
and hurting them out of the church doors.
THAT brilliant reporter made me famous,
if none of my own advertisements ever
did" said the athlete, smiling, as he told the
story.
