SPOR rs

1t was Jimmy Britt that sealed the
doom of the obnoxious Ralston bill in
the state legislature at Sacramento.
The country members of the Califor-
MIA law making body had horrible vi
sions of prize fighting. Some of them
had never seen ring exponent but
they had their minds made up as to
his looks and appearance.
He was a dog-faced, lop- cared.
broken-nosed mortal, who had scars on
his face thicker than been in hive.
He couldn't speak English, and wasn't
capable of shaking hands with a gen.
tleman.
Just before time for the bill to come
into Sacramento, but Britt. If you
have never seen the worlds lightweight
champion, then you cannot appreciate
this. He is one of the smoothest look
ing chaps that ever tread in a piece of
patent leather.
You can imagine the surprise when
Jim introduced himself, and began
handing out that flow of lingo that
only he is capable of when he wants
to be agreeable.
To top it all off Britt invited the
members of the legislature to a ban
quet and made speech that revolu-
toned their idea of champion fighters.
He told them of the manly art, what
it had done for him, and now it in
stilled courage in youthful makeup;
how it's was the greatest inducement
to prevent men carrying firearms, and
how, if the parent had the child in
structed in the game, there would be
fewer men travelling about in male at
tire who have contracted feminine
habits because they played crOquet
rather than take to the more siren
uous sport Then the law makers got
busy and killed the anti-fight bill.

Tough Fowls.

The housekeeper who Is often dis
mayed on discovering that the roasting
chicken she ordered sent home from
her butchers is fowl Of mature years
and as she thinks far too tough to be
roasted may transform this same aged
fowl into a chicken roasted into tooth
some tenderness.
Let her truss her fowl as usual and
then Unfold it completely in two thick
nesses of wrapping paper, securely fas-
tening the paper with string.
The fowl may now be put in the oven
and roasted three fourths of an hour.
At the end of that time the paper Is
removed and the chicken returned to
the oven and roasted as long as would
have been necessary had it been tender
in the beginning.
1t must be basted often and turned
occasionally.

Jim Corbett's Company.

One of the funniest things that hap
pened to me during my short stay at
the top of the heavyweight division
occurred after the memorable trip to
William A. Brady. On my return Mr..
Brady had arranged a great tour for
me and had some immense posters
printed. There was a group of Eng
lish notables, including the late Queen
Victoria, Prince of Wales and others.
In the center Brady had me shaking
hands with them. 1t was to show the
popularity of Americas champion in
England.
The truth of the matter was that no
such reception had ever been rendered
me. One day 1 was passing a big
fence decorated with one of the post
ers. l stopped, more to wonder at the
greatness of Brady as an advertiser
than anything else. Looking at the
picture at the same time was a group
of York state farmers.
$50 that be Jim Corbett in the CEN
ter, be it? Well l wonder how he can
afford to carry such a big company
with him. said one Of the crowd.
No one recognized me, and l walked
away laughing to myself over the eff
feet of Brady's enterprise.

Nelson TaIIest Lightweight.

Ting Nelson has over opponents is

ny to some readers, but it is true.
nevertheless.
Nelson stands today, in his fighting
shoes. five feet seven and one-half in
ches. which makes MIN the taliest man
among the claimants for lightweight
honors. Joe Cans is five feet seven in
cnes tall, While Jimmy Britt is a little
over five feet six inches.
What would probably prove the
greatest of lightweight battles would
be a fight between Cans and Nelson.
They are both built on the same order
and have many of the same ring char
acteristics.

Historic Fort Gibson


An effort is being made to preserve
the ''old church on the nll' at Fort
Gibson, 1. T., the oldest building in the
territory. This church was the old gar
rison church at Fort Gibson during all
the early days of the west, and was
afterwards used as a school house,
with Henry NJ. Stanley then a young
man, as teacher.
The old building has been occupied
continuously since 1882. General Ha-
zen while residing mere was married,
and brought to the fort his bride, Miss
Mclean, of Cincinnati, Ohio, now the
wife of Admiral George Dewey. She
is said to be the most stylish woman
who ever lived in Fort Gibson, and oc-
cupied the large stone building still
standing on Garrison hill. Many peo-
pie in the old town remember her we'll.

tied after the Louisiana Purchase
there was established a military post
in 1919. Many notable and distinguish
ed men nave lived there some now
resting in the United States national
cemetery. about a mile from the old
fort, where 2,459 soldiers are buried.
and where may be seen the names of
number of celebrated soldiers, scouts
and warriors, who figured years ago
in border and Indian warfare.
Among the number is the noted Sem
mole chief, Billy Bowlegs. who fought
with Osceola at the battle of Wahoo
swamp, where General Dade was kill
ed and the American troops routed.
After the treacnerous capture of Os-
ceola, Bowlegs joined the American
army, and was assigned the rank of
captain, a fact recorded on the tomb
stone at the head of his grave.
Stanley, the African explorer, at one
time taught a subscription school at
the fort, occupying the old frame build
ing still standing near the old public
square.
Washington Irving, the noted Amer
lean writer, visited Fort Gibson and
wrote his Tales of a Traveller in a
tent Just outside the old parade ground
on Garrison mill.
In 1916 the poet Longfellow, on
tour of observation in the west visited
Fort Gibson by the way of Arkansas
and Grand rivers Next year appeared
the most loved of all poems, "Evange-
line" where scenery in the vicinity of
Fort Gibson is graphically and beauti-
