| TIE gamest of fighters is liable to
and become the worst kind of a cow
ard remarked a weII-known trainer
| of pugilists the other day to the Sun
reporter 1T usually occurs after he
severe drubbing. I have never known
| it to fail, and can cite several in
stances. If you recall, there was no
grittier scrapper in the business than
Kid Lavigne, the former lightweight
champion. Lavigne did not know what
fear meant until he was knocked out
by George McFadden at the Broadway
A. c. Up to that time he reveled in a
beating. But after that contest he was
decidedly leery of any kind of a hard
bloE, and would let up in his fighting
as soon as his rival managed to reach
him with any effect. OF course, at the
time Layigne fought McFadden his
powers and strength were on the wane.
Still he was thought capable of holding
his own against third-rate men, and
at the time McFadden was not regard
ed as of much account. After his de-
feat by McFadden Lavigne went down
hill at a rapid rate, and soon became a
real has-been.
Probably knockout is what a fight
er fears the most. II takes all the
courage out of a man and makes him
cautious and careful. He is not apt to
take many unnecessary chances after
he has been put to sleep. Somehow,
his confidence deserts him. If he hap
pens to be of the so-caIled rushing type
his downfall is all the more rapid. In
stead of wading in and banging away
at random. depending upon his strength
and one solid blow to do the trick, he
will try 70 become clever. Rushing
pugilists are seldom scientific. AS a
rule they are men with strong consti-
tutions and heavy hftters. When they
assume cIeverness they invariably be-
come easy marks for their rivals, If
the latter happen to know more about
the manly art than themselves. In this
way they leave plenty Of openings and
are quietly whipped.
In handling fighters I have often
made il rule TO match my men
against bruisers who have already been
knocked out. In nine cases out of ten,
I have found that they are the easiest
TO whip. They are afraid Of a repeti-
ton of the punch that gave them their
first Quietus. and viii Enthusiastically
show it in the ring.
There was no more courageous
fighter in the business than Terry Nc
Govern until he was knocked out by
Young Corbett. After their first fight
At Hartford, AIcGovern was never n1u1-
self, as you know. He somehow lost
his speed and punching powers and
lid not put his rivals away with the
leatness and despatch so characteristic
when he was champion. McGovern is
stin a young man. but he is not the
lighter he was before Young Corbett
Knocked him out Terry remembers the
blow to this day. and whenever he fights
lie is always mindful of receiving a
similar smash.
Tom Sharkey has never recovered
rom the drubbing Jim Jeffries admin
stored in their last fight at Coney
sland. No grittier man than Sharkey
yer donned glove. He was as game
s they made EN-. but ever since JEFF
ries beat him VI as he did he has not
zen the same. Somehow his confidence
deserted him, and he was compare tive
y easy for other pugilists. Gus Rubin

NOT THE ORDINARY HIFW.

Most of us who are out of jail want to stay out. and we consider life much more bearable outside of jail than in- side. But that all don't think alike is shown by the case of John Mooney of Boston. Mooney is forty-nine years old, and has spent eighteen years of his life in prison. He was last released on No vember 15. and is now in again. When arrested he wept and said he was glad he was going back to his prison home, where he could be provided with the ne- cessities and some of the comforts of this life. In prison all had kind word for him. and all seemed interested in his worldly and spiritual welfare. but out side he said it was directly opposite. Every one drowned upon him and no one seemed to want him to live.
 It is perhaps to be hoped that this view of life in jail will not become popu- lar. but 1t indicates that even jail may be a place of rest and refuge. Sc may the grave.

FRANCIS WAYLAND.

The death of Francis Wayland is the departure of one who has played a prominent and useful part in the affairs os his city, his State and his country. Physically impressive, he commanded attention wherever he was. And his mental quality enabled him to command attention whenever he spoke or wrote. His greatest work and his most endur- ing monument is his large contribution to the utility and the growth of the Yale Law School. His heart was in the School and the School was in his heart. He labored long, we'll and successfully for it and with it. He was always help full and kind to the students, and many lawyers who have been under his care have pleasant and grateful memories of him. His interest outside of the Law School in politics. charitable and reform atory matters was deep and practical, and his words and work were valuable in them. He had fine tact. good and genial judgment of human nature, was loyal in friendship, and constant and steady supporter of what seemed to him to be good for this community. Though he has left us he yet speaks, and will speak so long as his splendid service is remembered, which will be long.

THE BANKRUPTCY L4w.

Senator Clay of Georgia has intro duced bill providing for the repeal of the general bankruptcy law. He says he thinks it is a bad thing to have such law permanently on the
 statute books; that it encourages busi- ness men to evade meeting their just obligations and is an incentive to dis honest commercial dealings. He does not wish to be understood as. an oppo- lnent of a general bankruptcy law. He thinks that such an act is an absolute necessity as means of enabling the unfortunate business men who have fallen under adverse conditions to re- gain their feet. He knows of any num- Der of instances wherein men have taken advantage of the bankruptcy law to adjust their affairs in order to get I a new start in life. But he feels that such law should be operative only temporarily. If it could be made ef-
 fective for couple of years in a period
 of each eight or ten years it would do
 much good. That, he thinks, would be
 enough to straighten out those who had
 become involved in troubles from which
 they could not escape without assist
 ance.
 | At the Department of Justice the hope is expressed that the Clay bill
 will not become a law. It is stated
 that the bankruptcy law has done an
 immense amount of good, both to cred itors and debtors. Many financially
 embarrassed firms, as we'll as individu-
 als, have been enabled to settle ur their accounts and renew business
 dealings, after filing petitions in bank
 ruptcy Creditors have also obtained fair and square treatment, and in many instances have been paid every dollar
 of indebtedness after the applicant had
 been discharged
