graphed in several reports. The doc
tor assured me there was no perma-
nent injuries although he said Rubin
would not be able to fight for several
weeks. Even SO, the question arises,
will Rubin ever be as good again."
1t is the history of pugilsm that a box
er Is seldom as good after q fierce
gruelling especially If the attack he
made upon the body.
MORE SOUR GRAPES.
The youngster, who does not earn
any salary, but for some unknown rea-
son is allowed to draw one at the Office
of the Beacon journal, had another
very bad attack of sour grapes Satur-
day. Hise guardian was out of town
and he bribed the ofiice-boy TO stick
on the exchange page of the paper that
evening. Friday the Democrat an
ilounced that Secretary Hershey of the
| Summit County Agricultural society
in this city between Joe Patchen and
Prince Alert, and it made the state
ment on the authority of Mr.. Hershey.
The B.-J. missed getting the news and
there ws trouble at that office. Satur-
day, under the caption, "A Pipe
Dream" the Beacon announced that
the Democrat story was fake. The
following paragraph taken from the
B.-J. boys labored effort is evidence
enough to establish the fact that there
was truth In the exclusive announce
ment made in the Democrat. 1t reads:
1T is Il fact that Secretary f. A.
Hershey, of the society, is trying to get
Prince. Alert for an exhibition mile
during the races at the fair, but that is
by no means assured"
The Democrat has known of the pro-
posed exhibition in this city since the
Grand Circuit meeting in Cleveland.
Ii has been in no hurry to print the
news because it was known that the
BID. would not get on to it for "A
month ut least. Tho outside papers
had not been posted on the matter and
until they were there was no danger of
it getting into the exchange columns of
the Tail Ender. AT the time that Mr..
Hershey informed the Democrat of the
proposed race he said I'VE will get
some good horse to start with Prince
Alert probably Joe Patchen." The
Democrat dose not believe that Mr..
Hershey is dope smoker Heretofore
all the news he has furnished this
l paper has been found to be thoroughly
reliable and all lovers of light harness
| performers will be gratiied should
, the statement lie made to the Democrat
] some time ago prove to he true.
