Won BY Rushing.

Never a wonderfully clever boxer he
gained his point by rushing tactics.
He would always carry the battle to
his antagonist, depending on the old
methOds-a punch for a punch-and
believing in his power to administer
greater punishment than his opponent
could mete out to him. His battle with
Walcott, when after fifteen gruelling
rounds he received the decision, show
ed his real worth. This was after the
cOlored man had defeated sucn men
as Tom Tracey, Tommy West, Mike
Harris and other tOp-nOtchers.
He then went to England and laid
low their champions over there. He
was the first to go to Great Britain
and bring back decision to America.
TIC give an idea of his ability to deal
out punishment. only his battle with
Andy Bowen may be referred to. That
boxer died from the effect of the ter
rible beating he receivd around the
vigne in that battle, told me when
he returned to Chicago that never in
his life had he seen such a fighter as

Sporting Events


Otto F'loto in the Denver Post prints
the following interesting fight dope:
How would you compare Young
Corbett with Kid Lavigne, when the
latter was at the height of his career?'
asked a sport enthusiast of me on the
car this morning.
That's rather hard comparison.
It's a difficult matter to compare fight
ers of a decade ago with fighters of the
present day We may offer our opin-
ion of comparison, but as they are not
both fighting now it is, after all, a mat
ter of conclusions.
A Great Fighter.
1 think that Kid Lavigne was one Of
the worlds greatest fighters. When
the blond topped little fellow first came
from Saginaw and gained a little
prominence by virtue of his battle with
Eddie Meyers, he was the most modest
and unassuming chap you would care
to meet He did not drink, smoke Or
swear What transformation took
place in him IN after years, however,
Tommy Ryan was the first to call
my attention TO Lavigne. 1t happened
that Ryan went to Saginaw at the in
vitation of Billy Lavigne and while
there watched George spar and box.
Then Ryan put the gloves on with him
and he was astonished. When he
came back to Chicago l met him and
he said: Keep your eye on that fell
low Lavigre in Saginaw. He is the
best green prospect that l have run
across"
Ryan little dreamed when making
that statment that he was touting
what proved to be one of the greatest
iightWeig1ts that ever pulled a glove
On. Outside of McAuliffe the Michi-
gan lad was about as great as they
made them. He was a Born fighter
and could live under punishment that
would put any ordinary three men
down ard ont in no time
