AMONG THE BOYS

FREDDIE Ma1er mas taken up amateur
photography as side line to amuse
himself and entertain his friends, and
a few days ago he posed a bunch of
rubes who were anxious to see Jeffries
so they could go home and be the viii
lage marvel for the balance of their
lives, and just as they imagined they
were to have their photos snapped with
Jeff the camera seemed to explode ana
horrid appearing boyle flashed in
compromised by buying round of lub-
ricants.
Jack Ripper has sold his old auto
matte haytrap and invested real money
in modern chug wagon with a carry
ing capacity of five persons. Although
he sticks around the dump from sunup
to sunup almost he finds occasional
moments when he can drive around the
block. upon which occasions the seat
ing capacity is inadequate by five
seats. No danger of Kip being arrested
for exceeding the speed limit, however,
owing to his natural disposition to be
slow.
Frank Becker is the champion pugil-
istic Handicapped of the age. He can
pick more winners of prize fighters and
make moro losing wagers than any
other sportsmen in the great south
west. He got in bad practice by be-
ginning his career as a champion or
Cyclone Thompson and even yet re-
fuses to permit Cans. Welsh, McFar-
land, Memsic, Brock and other topnotch
lightweights to be classed with the
breezy back number from Streator He
will not express an opinion as to the
Van Doozer-Johnson scrap. despite that
his friends want to know whom he
favors so they can bet on the other
fellow.
Walter Folsom signs because his Mis-
chief II is so completely In a class to
yachting this season. With his real
rivals out of commission, Walter has
Roseben in his racing boat and prob
ably will have an easy time winning
cups when he is eligible to race. How
ever, Walter is one of the mainsails
of the South Coast Yacht club and he
cannot lose interest in yachting events
on the coast. He has contributed
greatly to the development of the sport
on the coast.
Tom Mack, business man and sports
man de luxe, left last evening for a
visit to friends in Chicago. Mrs. Mack
accompanied him, and they will remain
in the east a month or more. This Is
the HrSI VACATION 1OlI has ldh6l III
eight years, and he says that he fears
it will be sixteen years before he gets
another.
Charlie OConnor, who became famous
as the business manager for Tommy
Burns while the Canadian was cinching
his championship honors, has blossomed
forth with a skypiece creation in white
that Is the marvel of all who have seen
1t in action. Charlie naturally is a
handsome chap and the new hat fur
nlshes a beautiful background for his
gray and black hair and smiling face.
Occasionally he affects white shoes,
too, and this leads to the presumption
that he surely is one Of the whitest
fellows going.
Lord Fauntelroy, the little one who
makes the necessary noise when Jeff
wants to pull off big fight, has negli-
gently acquired severe cold and seems
to be drifting into an acute attack of
grippe. His indisposition does not keep
him from work, but 1t worries jeff con-
siderably, as the lord is worth half a
dozen billboards in advertising any
fight, and the big scrap for the Fourth
of July will cost the promoters neat
fortune, requiring a good attendance TO
