He Sized Him I'm,


A number of sporting men stood ia the
corridor of the Occidental Hotel last night
and discussed the Corbett-J ackson fight.
Corbett is very shifty boy, and about
ms clever a Sparrer as they turn out" said
one old timer, but I'll tell you right now
that he wouldn't be in it with John l..
Jim's science would probably stand him in
hand just about long enough to make the
big fellow good and mad, and then one more
round would settle it.
About the shiftiest fellow John ever met
was up in Montana, when he was starring
with Steve Taylor with a standing offer OF
$500 TO anybody that would stay four
rounds. Well, they rung in Il big miner
on Sullivan, and while strong and quick, lie
proved about as clever asanybOdy. He was
dodger from way back, and when John
made his famous PUSHES he couldn't hit the
other fellow at all. Bangl bangl went
Sully'S fists at the miners head, but it was
no go. lie managed to get it out of reach
every time AT the end of the third round
John l.. was hot and the miner smiling and
confident
When they went to their corners for
minutes rest, Steve Taylor Sad Keep
cool now, John, ana you've got him. You
just watch his head and you'll notice that
ne always ducks 1t certain way. Lay for
him, and you'll catch him sure
When they went in for the last round
Sullivan smiled. He Tented with his right.
Quick as flash the miners head went to
one SIDE. Another f2int with the left and
the head lodged as before. That sc tiled 1t.
John rushed, and his right shot out like
pile-drlyer. An instant later the miner
landed on the floor outside the ropes, and
1t took an hour 10 resuscitate him. Sullivan
had aimed at the place where he expected
the head TO be, and his calculation was just
right.
The chances are that Corbett would find
himself in about the same kind Of boat"
1t Was a Surprise.
The relations between the two doctors,
Calegaris and PeScla, have been severely
strained for some little time, but through
the interpOsition of mutual friends harmony
has been restored. 1t seems that DR.. Gale
gaFis OWNS a dog, as does also DR.. Pesca.
The former Is a monster Of the Danish
mastiff breed, but young and awkward
The other is a Russian mastitf, but much
smaller and has the benefit Of years and
experience.
A few evenings ago DR.. PeScia started in
cOmany with friend and his dog to call
upon Dr. Gale garis. On the way ne eSpied
the latter approaching with his Danish mas
TN, and brilliant idea popped into his head.
DO you see that dog coming?" said lie to
his friend. We'll, he's no good. He's
great big duffer, and this dog of mine can
chew him into ribbons in just about two
minutes. My dog is smaller. but he's q
fighter"
With that they concealed themselves in a
doorway and awaited developments. A few
moments later CaIegaris passed with his
dog, and as he did so Dr. Pescia showed bis
mastiff in their direction.
just what happened will remain a mys-
terry for all time. but there was thud in
mid-air as two dark, heavy bodies met in
collision, and in less than minute DR..
Pescia's dog lay on the sidewalk, helpless
mass of flesh. An examination showed
that life was not quite extinct, but it re-
Quired the exertions of the two doctors, and
large amount Of restoratiyes, TO call him
back to consciousness. He is still under
