PUa1L1sr AND THE PUPIL.
The Theory of the Master Excelline
Has Often Been Reversed.

New York, Dec. 26.-Peter jackson,
the Australian heavyweight pugilist,
once said that the master was the
thing, no matter what the pupil may
have BEEN Jackson made this re-
mark just before he went to England
to fight Paddy Slavin in 1892. Slavin
was once a pupil of Jackson's and
was regarded as one of the best of the
big men that Australia turned out up
to that time. Jackson knew this, and
when some one limited that Slavin
would probably whip him. the big
negro replied in his usual decisive.
fashion:
81 taught him all he knows, but not
everything I know. If he has acquired
further knowledge, so much the better.
But 1 feel confident that [ will meet
him no more than equal terms. If he
beats me he is the better man, and I
will take my hat off to him. If he
doesn't, it will prove that I am still
master and he is simply pupil"
Jackson and Slavin put up one of
the best battles ever decided before the
National Sporting club. Ten hard
rounds were fought. The skill was on
Jackson's side and science conquered.
Slavin had only words of praise for his
conqueror, and often remarked: He is
the daddy of them all and is still my
master
| But the theory of the master excel
! ling the pupil has been reversed many
times since that mill. The most recent

| and Jim Corbett. In 1897, when Cor

of the world, was matched to meet

Football Coach Declares Quarterback

Chicago, Dec. 26.-According to Coach
Yost of Michigan, Walter Eckersali

his schoolmates or from his team
mates on the football eleven. 1ost

Michigan Glee clubs

he needed the services of a sparring
partner. Billy Delaney, who was Cor
belts trainer. tried several ambitious
youths, but few of them were able to
stand before Corbett and give him any
kind of a. fight. Delaney was willing
to pay them good salary, but they
were not satisfied to take punching
and quit after a few days
About that time Delaney heard OF the
advent in San Francisco of a big, ro-
bust heavyweight. The fellow was jim
Jeffries. Jeffries had gone to San Fran
cisco from his home, Los Angeles, in
search of a job at his trade of boiler
maker. Jeffries had letter OF intro

The sporting man said that he could
secure Jeffries a position as sparrlng
partner with Jim Corbett. Jenr1es was
satisfied and a few days later JeffrleS
was on his way to the Corbett camp.
Delaney liked Jeffries' appearance, ana

a raw one at the time, but - strong as

the stepping stone to Jeffries' success IN
the ring.
