When q fighter gets on the tOboggan his
downward path is CREASED usually with
the slipperiest kind of slush. But a year
ago Dan Creedon was looked upon as the
most dangerous man in the business,
both here and in England, for any but the
tip-toppers of the ring. Then followed
his defeat by Kid Mccoy, and later the
revelation that he had gone the pace
that kills. He made very poor show
ing in Chicago with Billy Stiff, third
rater, and now he has had to decline a
fight with Jack Bonner, the hard hitting
miner. a year ago he had splendid
chance to go into the saloon business in
ST Louis, but his easy defeat by Mccoy
made his Mound City brewer friend
thoughtful, and the result of his cogi-
tation was the conclusion that il wouldn {
pay to set Dan up in business as he had
intended. Creedon had a good friend in
Col. John d. Hopkins, the vaudeville
manager, but when he found that Dan
had deceived him as to his physical con-
dition, he, too, lost interest In him, and
that meant n lot to Dan. The Australian
is a nice, decent fellow, but he is not the
first, as he will not be the last, puSilist
to be carried off his feet by temporary
prosperity. Jack Bonner. by the way, is
looking for fistic job. If he were a lit
tie bit cleverer with his hands he would
be a dangerous man for any of the mid
dle-weights. He may get chance with
Tommy Ryan yet.

presses every confidence in his ability to
defeat Mccoy.
Mccoy, too since the Corbett tragedy
at San Francisco has made many friends
His Willingness to postpone the fight to
suit Corbett's convenience and his refusal
to accept forfeit of any kind proves that
his heart is in the right place. One who
knows Mccoy well, commenting on his
big-hearted action in refusing to accept
forfeit from Corbett, said:
''It was just like the Kid to act in this
manner, for, if ever there lived a good
fellow, who always liked to do good
turn for a friend in need, 'or even for
deserving foe. when the latter was over
taken by trouble, Mccoy is just such

way, and unlike many others, he does
not run with an account OF every good
act he does to the papers. The moment
that the question was raised as to Cor
belts forfeiture, before any word had
been received from the Kid, l knew that
he would never think of claiming it under
such circumstances.
Jim Corbett would do just much for
Mccoy under similar conditions, for Jim
is as good hearted u fellow as ever lived,
the detracting statements Of the alleged
reformers concerning all pugiiists not

The recent autobiography of the late
Rev. Charles III. Sturgeon contains an
account of what might be terlhed ali
early business venture, and it's in
hucnce on his character. Sturgeon was
brought up on Watts hymns: but not
altogether willingly. His grandmother
coaXed him with money 10 learn them.
At first she gave him a penny, but when
she saw how easily it was earned, the
old lady reduced the prize to a half
penny and then to a farthing. There
is no telling how low the amount per
hymn might have fallen, but just at
this time his grandfather made a dis
covery which seemed more desirable
to ~Spurgeon. He discovered that his
house was overrun with rats, and Of
fered his grandson a shilling n dozen
for all he coELl kill. The occupation
of rat-killing gave him more money
than learning hymns. "But," Mr.. Spur
geon enthusiastically says, II know
which employment has been the more
permanently profitable to me-
