RYAN TO ADVISE coRBETr.
Jeffries' Former Sparring Partner
MAY Help the Californian.

New York, Jan. 22,-Tommy Ryan, the
welter- weight champion, who has trained
Jim Jeffries for both of his Championship
chief adviser in the coming battle with
the chan pion. Ryan, it is said, has sig
nified his willingness to join the camp
down at Lakewood, where Corbett is
training, at once.
Corbett at present has Gus Rubin, the
Akron giant, a clever fellow, as sparring
partner, and it is not likely that he will
make any change until few days before
the encounter.
Ryan is credited with having made JEFF
fries a clever fighter, and now he be-
lieves he can show Corbett some of the
boilermaker's tricks; he is prepared to in
struct Corbett on the Californians fine
points
So far as science is concerned, Corbett
is well equipped, and Ryan could add lit
tie to the ex-champion's cleverness in
head or foot work. However COrbett is
willing to have Ryan in his corner on the
night of the contest and Jeffries prob
ably will have the tactics of his former
Sparring partners to solve March Is.
! Ryan knows every move OF the cham
pion. He practically has developed the
Pacific coast representative into a great
fighter and no doubt his. advice has gone
a good ways toward assisting Jeffries to
win the championship.

GIVEN A NEW SCALP.
Girls Contribute Skin From Their
Limbs For q MangIed Friend

Toledo, Ohio, Jan. 22.-An operation of
skin grating which physicians claim is
one of the most wonderful on record, was
successfully performed on Lizzie Hacke-
stedde yesterday and today by Drs. Sasse,
Nanpelt, HOLSTER and LaSalle, of this
city. Miss Hackstedde some days ago
had her scalp and ears torn entirely off
by her long hair being caught In laun-
When it was found that the unfortunate
girl would survive her injuries, the at
tending physicians suggested the skin
grating process if volunteers could be
found to furnish the cuticle.
The sister of the unfortunate girl
promptly offered to make the sacrifice.
When it was shown that an amount Of
skin sufficient to cover the injured girls
scalp and neck was necessary two other
girl friends of the patient offered to con-
tribute a portion of their fair epidermis
The time for the operation was set by
the physicians, and at the appointed hour
the girls were promptly on hand and
cheerfully submitted to the operation of
having the skin pared off their lower
limbs and transferred to the scalp of the
injured girl. The physicians say that he
roic courage was displayed by both girls
and the patient during the ordeal, which
occupied considerable time.
There were additional volunteers today
to supply the cuticle so as not to have
the burden fall entirely on the three girls.
The doctors say they are satisfied that
the injured girl will have a Peady-made
scalp in due time.
