BILE for them or their packers to make
any money by their laying down or not
fighting as they should there would be
no incentive for crooked work. az
If the managing editors of newspa-
pcrs would ascertain for their papers
whether a man was training properly or
not instead of printing oft lying state
ments of press agents of clubs they
would do the sporting public a service
OF inestimable value. -
Did Joe Cans deliberately quit with
Terry McGovern in Chicago. or was he
so scared by the redoubtable little
Brooklynite before he put up his hands
that he was unagle to do himself justice?
That is the question that is agitating
the sporting world at present. One
thing certain Cans fought more like a
dub than a champion. The statement
that an assistant district attorney of
Chicago was told on the afternoon of the
fight that Cans was going to quit. and
that his informant intended betting
heavily on that proposition, lacks proha-
bili1y. If the story is true the limb of
the. law is in a very bad position. If he
knew that there was II large quantity
of money to be wagered ION a dead sure
thing" the man who had the information
wasn't what is known as a dead game
sport Or he would have made his infor-
nation public and so protected innocent
betters from being robbed. The affair

Some Extraordinary Feats of
Strength of a Greek Athlete

This picture OF Fanasais Coutalianos.
known also as The Human Artillery
Battery gives an idea of his wonderful
strength and the marvellous nature of
his work. The gun which Is seen on the
back of the mans neck weighs four hun
bred pounds. Flacr of those suspended
from his Shoulders weighs TWO hundred
pounds.
1t would be a considerable task for
even a professional strong nan to carry
these cannon in the way Shown here.
Indeed. eight hundred pounds of dead
weight is a decided lift for any one. So

guns simultaneously as they rest and

The charges of powedr used are NOT
hstavy-heing. in fact. only one pound

merely spectacular. as the explosion OF
a single pound of powder transmits no
p~erceptible shock, being taken up by the
weight of the gun Itself. on the principle

Tod Sloan is very popular with the To-
bility and wealthy patrons of the En-
glish turf. He numbers among his stead
fast friends the Prince of Wales. to
whom he was under contract up to the
time of his suspension: Lord William
Reresford and Lord Marcus Beresford.

Carpavon, who eagerly sought Sloan's
services: Mr.. William Singer. the multi

grew very wealthy. He is reputed to be
worth s25. COZ. 00o. and during the racing
season in England he is one of its lead
ing figures. Gardner married Carrie
Swain but she resides alone in her gof-
gcous mansion in Paris.
When Sloan returned from England
he made no attempt to deny his accept
ance of presents. On the contrary. he
was proud of the costly tokens that were
rendered him. Among other things the
great little jockey treasured most dearly
was a case of jewels, the aggregate value
of all the pieces therein being placed by
him at 49,. 600.

THE RING


Bob Fitzsimmons is out with a state
nent declaring that he will never fight
again. Fob has made the same kind of
statement SO often hat it is hard to tell
what he will really do in the future.
While Lanky Bob is very inconsistent in
his statements to the public there is no
denying the fact that he is a good card
III the ring, and his services are much in
demand at present. Fitzsimmons and
J%effries, if matched again, will draw a
tremendous crowd anywhere. Jeff
wanted to get another crack at the big
blacksmith, but Fitz came along and an
nounced his retirement from the ring and
the game was off.
Rubin is a very quiet, well-behaved
young fellow in all but one respect. He
has a tobacco heart, and though he has
had able medical warning as to the dan
ger of his continuing this habit it seems
impossible to break him from it. He
steals away from his raine whenever
he can to have what might be called a
tohacco booze" Now. that he has a
chance at the championship he may find
in the chance a strong incentive to break
away from the tobacco habit. Unless he
does this, and does it promptly. he will
forfeit a large portion of whatever
chance he may or would have of clasp
ing the champion belt around his loins.
