so much genuine interest and enthus-

Then again, they are such bonnie big
fellows and so young and sturdy. Each
Of them is a two hundred FOUNDER in his
own right and both are graduates OF the
Olympic Club, probably the greatest
alma mater that American boxers have
known.
Il does not follow because a fellow
never went TO "A boxing college IL isn't
possible for him 20 attain such great
heights in the hstic profession. JEFF
fries and Sailor sharkey are the best
proofs Of this. but stil when you know
that a brace Of prospective opponents,
such as Kaufman and Berger. began a
study OF the manly art when they were
comparatively light and leggy, and con-
tinued their researches all through their
sapling years and while their shoulders
were broadening and their muscles de-

that they VIII put up a workmanlike
battle.
Some Kaufman Predictions.
In a nutshell. II is recognized that
Sam and Al are young, stalwart and
educated in a pugilistic sense That Is
why the patrons of the sport are look

In the old days no season OF training
was complete unless the rivals at work

the blacksmith's mighty arm, took eN-
ceptiOn because Berger spoke OF taking
on Jeffries after disposing of Kaufman.
Al. after Temarking casually that il
didn't do TO look too far ahead. went
on 10 say that Berger wouldnt feel ike

subject, Kaufman told a knot Of WISH
tors that he sized up Berger years ago
when they used 10 spar together just
for the fun Of the thing. and that he
made up his mind that II it ever came 10
a test he would be able 10 account for
Berger in about three rounds.
Sam smiled supercliiously when he
heard this. and cOnfided 10 his friends
that he never showed mis- true form 10
Kaufman when they were fedgliRgs-
Berger's Weird Boast.
Il had EN- on with Kaufman scores
Of times. but was always under
wraps" said Sam.
There's foresight for you. I've heard
of the fellow who found a bung and put
IL carefully away trusting 10 luck 20
some day find a barrel that would TT Il,
