GETTING CHESTY.
If the reports from Cripple Greek are
true, there will have to be something
done to keep Mexican Pete's chest
from expanding or he will be swelled
up bigger than +. L. Barnun's prize
balloon, says Macon. Pete has become
so well stuck OH himself since defeat
lug Tom Sharkey ON a foul that he
finds considerable difficulty in looking
over his chest to see If his watch chain
is hanging straight. Some one told
Pete that he was in line for one OF
those tin-foll championship belts CIV
en- by the pink papers for yellow Tel
| lows, and the next day the Mexican
! sent an order 10 one Of the Cripple
Greek gold mine owners to put on an
extra force of men to try and dig up
enough Of the costly canary-colored
ore to make Pete n belt. The order
was accepted, but when he went to
measure Everett and found that in
his present state of imitation you
couldn't measure him with tape line
as long as an ocean cable the order
| had to be Cancelled, and Pete has con.
cluded to wait for the long distant
walking champion to come through
Colorado on his annual jaunt from
New York to Frisco, when he will cap
ture the pedestrian and trade off an
old pair of boxing gloves for the
championship belt.
Pete, since his victory over Sharkey
has been in great demand. Several
big offers have been made him by
Tom O'ROurke and others, but he has
declined to accept, as lie Is going out
on the road doing u specially entitlec
