The Iowa woman who has Sc

her husband refused to laugh at
her jokes has established an i'm

The right to joke is one of the

right that cannot be denied, I'M

And the sacred right to joke

...SPORTS...

The latest and the best sporting
attraction for this city is the Kerns
benefit which will take place next
Friday night at Turner hall. All
the classiest boxers of the north
west are to take part. The receipts
OF the entertainment will be turned
over to jack Kerns, the Chicago
lightweight who had his back hurt
in a fight with Kid Parker. Kerns
lost the match and his end of the
money was hardly enough to pay
for his expenses, let alone paying
doctor for treating his back. The
young man is still laid up and may
be for some time and therefore
will be unable to fight for some
weeks.
Kid Parker, with his customary
hustle, went to work and promoted
the fistic carnival for the benefit
of the wounded boxer. His call
for talent was answered by all the
pugilists in the city, who volun-
teered to go up and swap wollops,
jabs, hooks and crosses for any
number of rounds if by so doing
they could assist in obtaining mon
ey for Kerns. The principal bout
of the evening will be 10 round
go between Kid Parker and In-
dian Joe" Gregg. Following this,
Jerry Mccarthy will hook up with
Maurice Thompson in a four round
argument. This will give the talent
fine opportunity to get line on
the work of Parker and Thompson
who are matched for 20 rounds be-
fore the Pastime club on the night
of November II. Both men have
boxed in this city, but with the two
of them boxing the same night, one
can get line on each easier than
before. Gregg will cause Parker
to extend himself. He is no won
der of boxer, but at that one must

and ready mixer. Barney Mullin
that inimitable Irishman, and Fred
Creel, who trained George Peter
son, will be on the card. Creel is
a middleweight of uncertain qauli-
ty. and Mullin will go against him
carrying about 40 pounds.
Kid Harrison, who on the night
of the 9th, gave Kid Scaler such
a humping, will box four rounds
with Jack Brooks. Following this

There is a lot of superstition in
all branches of athletics. In base
ball and pugilism especially do the
participants believe in signs.
Jimmy Britt is now telling his
friends that he had a dream before
his last battle with elson in which
he took the count at the hands of
the Dane. He had always heard
that dreams were opposite, but
that bothered him some.
1t was my fight with Sullivan I
had in mind, however, when | start
ed this story. And l have often
read and heard of an incident at
the ringside of that battle which
l remember only too well, for it
was one of the few signs that ever
seemed to acct me.
Fred Wright, a friend of Sulli-
vans, was sitting near the ex-
champions corner, and had a wad
of bills left, out of large bank roll
that he had brought to New Or
leans to wager on John l..
Shortly after Sullivan had taken
his seat in the corner of the ring
the light directly over him went
out. The electrician was called
but the seat of the trouble could
not be found. Apparently there
was nothing wrong at all. 1t was
an omen of i'll luck, Immediately
declared a bunch of superstitious
ones, and suddenly considerable
Corbett money began to appear
Several who had supported Sulli

chances.
While was not a believer in
signs, | will admit that affected me
some. and l seemed to feel more
confident. Sullivan wore a more
serious and less confident look.

After lot of words had been pass

of smoke-wagons that looked dan
gerous enough to kill a regiment of
men.
He turned to Morrissey and said:
Now. Jack, you have been accus-
ing me of being yellow. You would
have an advantage over me in a
pitched ring battle, but here are
two instruments that will put us on
the same footing"
Morrissey showed the white
feather, and the battle was never
fought, either with gloves or guns.
ole Price, proprietor of a small
cafe in New Orleans, tells a new
one on Battling Nelson. The Dane
went to the southern metropolis in
1897, following the ponies.
Bat had only been in New Or
leans a short time when he went
broke and decided to resort to his
trade for a living. But there was
nothing doing in the iron working
line. so Nelson took up waiting on
table.
Price, who owns place near the
st. Charles hotel. says that Nelson
made a good waiter, but he never
thought he would make a fighter.
Why, he looked but an everyday
sort OF boy then. His years in the
prize ring and his long fight to
reach the top, has put the imprint
of Father Time on his great little
| fighting face.

last appearance of that great fight
er in the ring.
Hyer was matched to fight John
Morrissey, who will be remembered
by the older fight fans as one of
the early opponents of the Ameri-
can prize ring.
Morrissey had done lot of talk
ing and bluffing and had repeatedly
called the great Hyer a coward.
The date was set for the battle in
small place in New York state,

plans fell through and the friends
of the men made arrangements
for another meeting.

Jack Dempsey was another fight
er who believed in signs, and many
a time Jack told friend that all
his success was due to an old
horseshoe which he carried around
with him.
Jack always took the good luck
token with him, and before every
fight he would ever have it with
him in his training quarters.
l remember well the horseshoe,
for Jack showed it to me after one
OF his great fights. He told me he
had found it in a country town
that he was travelling through.
A short time before his famous
battle with Robt. Fitzsimmons he
lost the half worn out piece of iron
and he was heartbroken for a
while. He seemed to lose a great
deal Of confidence in himself, but
let few of his friends know it.
Jack lost to Robert and it broke
his heart completely. He died inch
by inch, if ever a fighter did.
Bob Fitzsimmons is another
fighter who believes in mascots.
Did you ever hear of Fitzsimmon' S
training without having lion or
bloodhound or some other animal
around.
You could take the whole list of
fighters, and, almost without ex-
ception, point out something that
would indicate they believe in
signs.
