REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
New York, Jan. 2i.-Frank Erne. former
lightweight champion pUgilist. who has re-
tired from the ring. mas great faith in Jack
Munroe. the Butte miner, Who aspires to
the heavyweight championship pinnacle.
Erne will h one Of the miners tutors when
Mlnroc goes into training. and the Buffalo
light weight believes he has an excellent
chance of Wrestling the championship from
the boilernaker.
1t is my honest and candid opinion" said
Erne, that Jack Munroe stands an excel
lent chance Of defeating James J. Jeffrics
in a fight Of twenty-five rounds with the
gloves.

IN him. / saw him win the amateur cham

ing IL. and ! said at the time that he would

IF his staying with Jcffries for four rounds
l was not surprised in the least.

NEEDS EXPERIENCE

Il will admit. as AIunroe stands to-day.

lacking in that one essential point which
makes Il successful prize iightcr-cNperience.
Munro has not shaker the hand of that

HAS \ KNOCKOUT PUNCH.

TN your opinion, has Munroe the punch
to beat Jeffries:."
Is Munroe stands to-day. practically a
beginner at the game. he has ii punch that
would knock out any two fighters If he
could only he taught the proper way to use
It. Give Munroc three months of good. fast
coaching and training and l am sure YOU
will find a different man in him-One who
Will make his mark III the ranks of the

Shurkey is Il big. strong fellow. with a dan

ford to take chances with him and expect
To win. He is a rushcr from the drop Of

with Tom would be to counter on the Jaw
