Improving a Cigar by Putting 1t Out


Lighting a new Havana, a downtown
professional man, after taking a few
whiffs, blew into his cigar and forced
lot of smoke out of the fiery end.
Then he laid 1t aside and permitted the
spark to die out.
When asked for an explanation he
said: "Well, learned that habit some
years ago, and 1 find that a cigar
which has been lighted and then al
lowed to go out makes a much better
smoke l take several vigorous draws
In order to bring the heat well through
the weed. If cigar becomes cold
while 1t is saturated with smoke it has
musty odor; consequently it is neces-
sary to blow steadily and quite hard
before extinguishing the spark in order
to clear out oil the smoke that has
been drawn in between the layers of
tobacco. After permitting the cigar to
lie ten or fifteen minutes or even a
half hour l find on relighting it that
the flavor has greatly improved. The

Not Worth the Money.

A tall woman with a determined ex-
preston and surrounded by six chill
dren Of assorted sizes approached the
attendant of the menagerie and eyed
him with relentless gaze.
What nationality is that elephant?''
she inquired, indicating one close at
hand.
"Comes from Africa, ma'am," said
the attendant.
Hes dreadful light colored to have
come from tropical parts" said the
woman sternly. "And look here" she
added as the attendant started away
from her family group; they've got a

The attendant again essayed to de
part, but she clutched him by the
sleeve.

JOHN [. A CHAMPION
Sullivan Still Holds the Bare
KnuCkie Title.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Feb. 13.-The
gold and diamond studded belt which
was presented to John L. Sullivan as
commemorative of his championship
fight with Paddy Ryan, and which dis
appeared about ten years ago, now
turns up in the possession of Jere
Donohue, of this city, who exhibits the
trophy among his art collection. DON
ohue secured the belt for $10,500, which
Is slightly more than the value of the
metal and precious stones.
Sullivan was said to have pawned
the belt soon after he lost his cham
pionship to Corbett in 1891, and few
have seen it since. The inscription on
the belt is as follows:
Presented to John L. Sullivan by
the Citizens of the United States, July
4, 1897"
Pictures Of Sullivan and Ryan, sew
enteen large and many small diamonds
adorn the trophy.
Sullivan won the bare knuckle cham
pionship in defeating Paddy Ryan at
Mississippi City, Miss, in a fight last
ing nine rounds. To commemorate the
event Sullivan's admirers raised sew
eral thousand dollars and purchased
the belt, which was presented at q
public function. Sullivan kept the belt
a short time after he lost the glove
championship to Corbett. The bare
knuckle title he still holds.

YOUNG CORBETT TO
HAVE RACING STABLE
Champion Will Go Into Bust.
ness With Jockey Gem
Jenkins.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Feb. 13.-
Champion Young Corbett is to become
horse owner. Owing to the great
success he has had during the past
week, when he won something like
$4,000, he feels that the race track is
a pretty soft place for him when his
fighting days are thing of the past
Corbett will form partnership with
Glenn Jenkins, the well-known jockey
who met with so much success abroad
for the past few years, and who last
season rode for Sanford & Son. Jen-
kins will have charge of the horses and
do the training, while the champion
will do the betting for the firm. 1t is
said that Jenkins will go to Rancho
Del Paso, the great Haggin breeding
establishment near Sacramento and
select some choice yearlings.
Jimmy Rothwell, the brother of the
champion, will exercise the horses in
the morning and act as betting COM
missioner during the time the race are
run. This will form one of the strong
est combinations in the West, and
much success ought to attend the eff
forts of the celebrated duo in their un-
dertaking

EDDIE HANLON WILL
FIGHT CHARLIE NEARY
Pacific Coast FavorEte Agrees to Meet
Pride of Beer City.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Feb. 13-Word
comes from Pittsburg this morning to
the effect that In all probability Eddie
Hanlon will stop over in Milwaukee on
his return West and swap punches with
Charley Neary, Hanlon announced before
he started East that he was coming to
Milwaukee, and it is needless to say that
the coast boy and the local favorite would
prove a big attraction here.
Neary is slowly coming out of his dor
mant state and is beginning to sit up and
notice things again.
An offer has been received from Bat
terry d Club of Chicago for another meet
ing with Buddy Ryan. The purse end of
it is all right, but when Neary insisted
that Ryan post a forfeit of $500 to make
1870 pounds. the weight agreed upon, there
was slight hitch on the part of the Chi
cago boy, as there is some doubt as to
Ryan's ability to make the weight, and
$500 is a large chunk to lose for few
pounds of fat Present indications do not
promise very well for the match.
George Gardner, who is to meet his old
foeman, Kid Carter, before the NJ B. C.
Friday night, is expected to arrive in the
city tomorrow and will finish his training
stunts here. AT present he is doing his
work in Chicago, and, according to re-
ports. is showing all Of his old-time form.

TEBEAU'S TROUBLES
Fielder Waldron Refuses to
Play With Denver.

DENVER, Col, Feb 13.-Another of
Tebeau's prospective players has been
taken and if the present clip con-
tfnues the Denver team will be very
short of members when the season
opens.
The latest steal is that of E. J. Wal
dron, whom Tebeau had supposedly Sc
cured to cover the center territory for
the local aggregation, but now the news
of his signing a contract for the COM
ing season with the San Francisco
team is out.
Waldron is a former Western league
player, having covered center field for
the Kansas City Western league team
last season and made remarkable
record. He is a brilliant fielder, a fine
base runner and a slugger that will
hold his own with most players. This
crack fielder has been playing since
1895 and has batted above the 300
mark in each entrance.
The coast magnate is plimenting
himself on having the good luck Of Sc
curing the crack fielder.

SULLIVAN LIKELY
TO FURNISH TROUBLE
Eastern Sports Think David
VIII Give Young Cerbett
Hard Fight.

NEW YORK, Feb. 13.-Young Cor
bett and Dave Sullivan will fight in
San Francisco on Feb. 20, in the ring
Of the Yosemite club.
Dave Sullivan, whether or not he
manages to wrest the Iaurels from
Young Corbett, will give him hard
fight. The battle is to be fought at 1870
pounds. Sullivan is legitimate
featherweight, and could easily make
the featherweight limit. 1t is obvious
that the weight was made to suit Cor
bett, who was to meet Britt at that
same weight two weeks later. So If
Sullivan should beat Young Cerbett
the championship will again be held by
a real featherweight.
Sullivan has good record as
fighter. He has met and beaten some
Of the best in the fighting business.
Only a year ago he fought Terry Nc
Govern in Louisville, and gave the
Terror" all the fighting he could take
care of for few rounds. Sullivan
trained hard for that encounter, for he
intended, If he won, to go after Cor
bett and have try at the champion
ship.
In the earlier stages of the battle he
pounded Terry in such good style that
his hackers thought he was winning
Terry lost his head and fought wildly.
But at last Terry got the range and
dropped Sullivan several times, ham
mering him about the body. Bob FitZ-
simmons was referee. He finally STOP
ped the fight and disqualified Sullivan
stating that he had gone down with
out being hit. Sullivan and his back
ers and seconds were much excited
over the decision, but Fitz refused to
listen to any arguments over the mat
ter.
Whether the decision was right or
wrong, Sullivan was badly battered
and did not appear around his usual
haunts for several days after the fight
Dave Sullivan is clever boxer and
game fighter. Neither he nor his
brother, Spike, ever acknowledged
defeat. Dave has a great left hand.
He jabbed Terry McGovern all around
the ring with it in their last fight
AS a knockout puncher he is hardly in
Young Corbett's class. He does not
try to win his battles Gin a punch"
like the Denverite, but wears his man
down gradually.
Since his fight with Terry McGovern
until a few weeks ago, when he re-
entered the ring in Boston, Dave had
not been seen within the ropes But
such a rest as that, when 1t is not ac-
cempanied by dissipation. does a boxer
much more good than harm. Sullivan
should be In better form than when he
was fighting once a week.
In build there is little to choose be-
tween Sullivan and Corbett. They are
both short and stocky, made for mill
ing, fit to fight and swing the knock
out blow. Dave is broad shouldered,
like his opponent, and just as able to
Withstand punishment.

DETROIT, Mich, Feb. 13.-The
question of the championships in the
various new classes created by the
National Boxing association is one
which promises much discussion, not
to speak of the claims that will be
made by the boxers who figure them
selves entitled to the distinctions. Not
until the new association adopts the
scale as permanent, and assigns the
honors in the various classes, will the
matter be settled
The "minim," or 105-pound class,
presents but three men worthy of con-
sideration: Dusty Miller, Of Chicago;
Jimmy Walsh, of Boston. and Griff
Jones, of Philadelphia. Grave doubts
are expressed regarding the Iatters
ability to do the weight, but last April
he stepped on the scales at 104. AS
Griff is a careful little fellow, fully
matured, no doubt he can still reach
the class figure. Walsh is probably
the best man of the three He is a
natural born boxer, fast and agrees
sive, and with a defense which always
puzzles an opponent. Unless some
man defeats him before next Septem-
Der he will be awarded the palm.
In the light bantam class a great
scarcity exists, and unless some good
man develops in the next six months
and clearly establishes his claim this
class will probably be placed on the
boards without a champion.
frankie Neil is the bantam champion,
with but three dangerous competitors.
Tough little Tommy Feltz, Johnny Re-
gan and Pinky Evans are the only
high class men in America capable of
doing 116 pounds in condition to box
OF these Evans looks best. He has
always been kept under cover, and
never properly doomed. In the hands
of man like Sam Harris or Al Here
ford, Evans would be a wonder He
boxed Feltz a hard twenty-round draw
less than a year ago, and has recently
defeated Regain. In the latter bout,
however, an agreement had previously
been made that If both men were on
their feet at the end of the twentieth
round draw should be the decision
This alone saved Regan. But Tommy
it'eltz, when in proper shape, and box
ing under straight rules, can give any
116-pound man living an argument
and, in my opinion, can beat them ALL
New Feather Glass.
The new light featherweight class in
cludes such men as Harry Forbes, Abe
and Monte Attell, Joe Cherry and Ches-
ter Goodwin. AtteH is the recognized
champion, and Chester Goodwin should
be a close second. This boy is not well
known in the West, but shrewd man
agement has made him a good card in
the East, where he made his name and
money. He recently defeated Feltz,
but the latter gave away too much
weight. Forbes looks passe, while
Cherry has been poorly handled. Joe's
ways of living also place him on the
doubtful list. Monte AttelI is a conner,
but he will never meet his brother for
the title.
The new featherweight limit, 1877
pounds, was not made to suit Young
Corbett, as generally supposed Corbett
will not do this weight. while there
are any number Of men in America who
can and remain strong. A list would
include NcCleliand, who, by the way,
can make 122 if pressed; Callahan.
