by his rival from across the channel.
Slack then took TO wrestling,and having
thrown his man several times regained
his confidence. This is how the fight
ended, according to an old sporting
authority: 1.-THE next movement of
Petit was to catch his OPP
ponent by the hams and turn
him over. This little pleased the Eng
lishman and he followed his man SO
closely that Petit was compelled to
stand and fight and consequently re-
ceived terrible whaeking, In elas'
round Petit closed and canted Slack
over the rails; the Briton held on and
pulled his adversary with him, deliver

and has always been known as the
Jewish champion of England. He
tonight thirty celebrated fights, the
three best being with Humphries. The
latter was known as "the gentleman
boxer from his delightful manners
in the ring and his graceful method of
sparring.
Jem Belcher was boru in 1881 and
was grandson of the famous Slack.
Although no one would Imagine II
from his picture he was originally

most remarkable in the history OF Pu

Two names which will always hola
high place in the'histury of the ipanlv
art are Tom Sayers and Jack Heenan
and their famous battle at Fnrn.
boroug, April II, 1900, will never b..
forgotten, Sayers was born in ls2o
near Brighton, and as a fighter he was
regarded as invincible until after he
had met the American, Heenan. He
had already defeated Perry. Der iaman.
Paddock and Brettle, and as no one i'm,
England cared TO try conclusions with
him it looked as II he were about tc.
settle down as the holder of the cham.
pionship belt for an indefinite time. In
1859 Heenan Of West Troy. ~ "
issued challenge to eight tho mighty
Savers for R2OO side and the belt.
The fight created the most intense ex
element all over England and America
at the time and is regarded to-day as
the greatest battle ever fought within
the rope arena.
In the first round Suyers drew first
blood and Heenan threw his man in
the same bout. In the third round the
American knocked Savers down and
continued to repeat the operation in
every round until the end Of the fight
In the thirty round Frank L..
bowling, editor of Beel's Life, who
was stakeholder and referee, left his
post, but the men continued the fight
for- seven rounds on their own nc
count. The fight was at last stopped
by Sayer's friends pulling up the
stakes and carrying the man away ir
an insensible condition. Heenan stoo6
in the middle OF the ring and, having
proclaimed himself champion OF the
world ran Off unassistcd.
Jem Mace probably had more con
summate skin in the art Of boxing thar

was once defeated by Brettle, but re
taliated by afterwards beating his
victor in six rounds, His list OF van

Tom King and Joe Goss, which easily
gives him place among the grea
fighters of the world. His creates
battle was with Coburn, in November
1871, at Bay st Louis, Miss, for Sc, 500
a side The fight lasted twelve roundi
and although Coburn apparently hac
the battle well in hand he would no
force the fight to finish. The las
round lasted nearly an hour and hardly
a blow was struck, the referee at las
deciding the fight a draw on the grount
that lone was afraid and the othe
daresn't."
Tom Hyer was the first champion OF
America, and is regarded by many AZ
one of the greatest pugilists that eve
lived, although he only fought twice
in the ring. The first fight was witt

rible blows of IIyer for lOi rounds be

those neutrality-suspicious. and en-
peror-were devotees of the ring. Just
as Plato said, prize fighting win be-
come less cruel as the age progresses.
That Is to say, more refined.
1t was along in the eight
zenith century before prize fighting
became an art as well as n science so
to speak. A gentleman by the name
of James Figg Of Oxford, England,
fought the first battle in England.
When still young man he went to
London and erected large wooden
edifice, which he called an amphithea-
ter. Here he taught the use of the
single stick and broadsword and on
stated occasions gave exhibitions of
prize-fgh ting.
Figgs had practically but one COM
petitor, as the game was new one.
Sutton, theupipe-malSer of Gravesend,
was his rival and in three battles Figg
won two of them. He died in 174O.
The eccentric-loolSing Mr.. Slack came
on the scene shortly after Figg and
fought as queerly as he looked. The
rules under which the fights were then
conducted had not reached their pres
ent state of perfection. Slacl's great
d sht was with a Frenchman named
Petit, at Harleston, in Norfolk, and
the fight is said to have been one of the
most ferocious on record.
The first move of the Frenchman was
to seize Slack by the throat,
and as the English champion could
not prevent the rush he suf-
fered partial strangulation before he
could release himself So disconnected
was Slack by this move that he was
