The gallery gods were true to their idol,
cheering the big fellow when he entered
the pavilion and redoubling the cheers
when he boxed three rounds with clever
Alex Gregga1ns. The one-time champion
was slow when compared with his agile
oponent.
The exhibition boxers were sent into the
ring four at a time and while. one brace
was at work the other rested. The best
known of the volunteers were Gus Euk-
lin and Charley Goff, Al Neill and. Nc
Guinness, Billy OTIS and his brother
Fred a boxer III miniature; Kid Maynard
and Jack King, Jack StelZner and Arthur

This is the first opportunity Vallejo
ties have had of judging the great i'm
provement their champion has made
since his last fight on the coast, and as
a result if Tom loses his next fight Va
llejo will lose heavily The sailor is in

Will find he has a different man.
Asked regarding the location of the
fight he said that he thought the Len
nox or Coney Island Club would get it,
though for one reason he would rather
have it on the coast on account of the
nearness to his present training quar-
ters, which he says are the thing.
However" he added, i will fight
any man. anywhere, under any condi-
tons" SharkeY picks himself to win
from Jeffries in about twelve rounds.

To be bound hand and foot for years
by the chains Of disease is the worst form
Of slavery. George D. williams, Of

could not turn over in bed alone. After
using two bottles Of Electric Bitters she
Is wonderfully improved and able to do
her own work" This supreme remedy
for female diseases quickly cures nervous
ness. sleeplessness, melancholy, headache.
backache. fainting and dizzy spells. This
