Records Were Not of the Brilliant
Order.

Heroes of the prize ring are passing.
There will soon be no great champion in
America, which country, since the de-
cadence of the sport in England has led
the world in that particular pastime.
Robert Fftzsimmons will soon surrender
the mantle he has worn with such great
credit to himself and the ring-not by
defeat at the hands of Jim Jeffries, but
because of advancing years, which will
compel him to retire. Then who will as
sumo the toga once worn by the only
John L. Sullivan, and believed to have
been the property of John c. Heenan?
There is not a man in the ring today the
American public will accept as the sue
cessor of Sullivan, Heenan and Fitzsim-
mons. Corbett has passed. Mccoy is a
memory. Sharkey will not do. Jeffries?
No He cannot defend the title against
the world. Some new hero must spring
up. or the title must be left for the man
not yet developed who will prove his
prOwess in meeting all comers and van
gushing them as did Sullivan and Fftz-
simmons.
HOW ABOUT KEENAN,?
There are few who know off-hand that
John c. Heenan, once the idol of the.
prize ring. never won a battle The near
est approach to victory for Heenan was
when he met Tom Sayers, the English
champion and was robbed of the sweets
of victory when it was within his grasp.

out a victory to pase the claim to the
title upon. He had the heart, He knew
no such word as fear. He would have
fought a lion had he been called upon to
do so. And that was what made him the
peoples champion. There was no success

REMARKABLE CAREER.
The career of Sullivan in the ring was
the most remarkable in all it's history.
England had produced great gladiators,
but none who could compare with John

Savers was in the same class with the
Boston boy. He was the wonder of the
age. He introduced something that was

for election TO the senate from Michigan,
provided he does not have to scramble
for the office, is regarded as the beginning
of his campaign to succeed Senator Nc

by his statement that he had Senator Nc
Milan's word for 1t that he did not ex-

had promised to aid him all he could
This caused considerable surprise among
the personal and political friends of SEN
ator Mcmillan. for the reason that sac
senator's Washington friends fully under
stand that he expects to be candidate for
reelection.
One Of the senator's friends suggested
that Secretary Ayers purpose in talking
as he had done was TO try 10 draw from
Senator Mcmillan a definite declaration as
to whether he desired another term in the
senate Should Secretary Alger succeed In
having himself elected to the senate he
would regard 1t as a vndication of his
