The most remarkable instance OF
rapid growth was recorded by the
French academy in 1729. 1t was u
boy six years of age five feet six inches

changed; at six his beard had grown
and he appeared a man Of thirty. He
possessed great physical strength and
could easily lift to his shoulders and
carry bags Of grains weighing 200

his growth. At eight his hair and
beard were gray, at ten he tottered
in his walk, his teeth fell out and his
hands became palsied; at twelve he
died with every outward sign Of ex-

MANY FAKE FIGHTS.
Jack O'Brien Makes Startling Asser
tions In a Full Confession.

San Francisco, May 23.-The Evening
Bulletin prints o signed statement by
Philadelphia Jack OErien, III which the
Quicker pugilist declares that nearly eE-
cry big fight in which he has been engag-
cd was a fake. OBlien contends that
having adopted pueilism as q profession
and being far more scientific than most
of his opponents, the only way ne could
get matches was by consenting 70 frame
them up, thus permitting his opponents
to clean UP literally in betting.
O'Brien tells az great length of the ar
engagements made with Tommy Burns. ii"
declares that he was not in any condition
to fight, but that Burns eagerness TO ar
range a fake misled him. Hence he con
scented to 20 into the ring when ne WASH
fairly trained, and 1T was only When the
gong sounded that ne saw ne had been
double crossed.
After the first round. he says, all his
attention was given 10 LASTING o1- the p
rounds, as he was in 10 condition to pat
up a good fight. He also gave details OF
fakes arranged with Feter jackson, Tom
my Ryan, Walcott and with Fitzsiinmons
in his first fight in Philadelphia. Fitz at
tempted to double cross him, O'Brlen de-
clares, but was severely punished.
C'Bnen also says his bout with Sam
Berger in Philadelphia vas fixed and that
the fight we rehearsed in bar the night
before with Jack Gleason as solitary spec
tator. Sports here regard Brlen
statement as lame effort to explain how
he came to make so poor 2 showing re-
Gently in Los Angeles. Every expert
pronounced OBrien in the pink OF condi-
ton, and his present claim that he vas
not right is scoffed at. Gleason and 9TH
ers here also give the lie to OBrien' $
statement that the O'BneE-BerSer fight
was framed up.

When the National League reduced its
circuit from L clubs to eight, in 1900 It
was decided to levy an assessment OF \
per cent. upon all the receipts of the
league to buy out the four clubs which
were dropped.
TIE clubs purchased by the league We're
Washington Baltimore, Cleveland and

means that all Of these accounts have
been settled.

provided for by assessments upon each

the Indebtedness caused by the cutting
down Of the league in 1900.
