seen in the ring in San Francisco. He
was found at AUBURN Placer county, by
"Biddy'' Bishop, the nj of young
Peter Jackson. Between young Peter
and All Wing a great friendship has
sprung up, and they have had many
a friendly bout with the gloves. So
pleased are Bishop and Jackson with
their unique find that they have ar
ranged to take him around the country
to spar with men in his class.
For some time All Wing has been a
cook. He first put ON the gloves about
two years ago. in RESPONSE to a joking
request by local sports of Auburn. He
showed such natural ability as a boxer
and such good staying qualities that he
was encouraged to practice. Taking

inaries with a local man, i'm which he
acquitted himself with credit. The Gel

would make the Chinaman quit, but he
had mistaken his nan Wing came back
like a veteran for a second round and
continued his good showing. He after
