OF course, there's nothing new about
this little trick. Old John L. used to
work 1t to perfection. and had his vic
Tins scared half to death by the way
lie used to fix a steely glance on them
as he sat in his corner waiting for the
bell to sound.
All worked up oven the idea of tack
ling the "big fellow and usually trem-
bling with nervousness. it needed only
the terrible glare from Sullivan to put
poor pug awaiting the "siaugh-
ter into a trance which made him
about as effective as a punching bag
as far as doing any fighting was con-
cerned.
Fitx Learned Trick.
Fitzsimmons, too. learned how to do
this trick. Bob was a pretty good imi-
tation of the "old boy" himself, any
how. when he got ready to get into the
ring, and, by putting ON his most
vicious cast of countenance, he was
enough to cause a fighter with any
imagination TO shake in his shoes.
Tommy Burns. by the way, isn't
ready to come home just yet. Hes
some engagements in Paris. The first
one is to merely referee the fight be-
tween Jack Costell, of England, and
Walter Stanton, of California. Fol
this he is TO receive $1,000 and expenses,
a la Jim Jeffries.
VIII Consider $4,000 Purse.
Then Tommy. in his usual modest
way, says hat II he is offered any
$40, 900 purses TO fight anybody in Paris
he will take the subject under con-
sheraton. h hasn't added anything
of late to his conversation regarding
when he expects to come back and do
business with those who are trying to
get him and Johnson together.
Nevertheless the fighting fans in this
country sill hope that he will return
some time, and her there should be
no way for him to sldestep the negro.
Burns is doing SO we'll in the knock
out game that he has convinced very
body that he possesses the punch and
an amazing lot OF boxing skill, too. In
the absence of a real star in the
heavyweight class he is certainly about
as good an Imitation of a near cham
pion as one could wish for.

BRYAN WATCHING HIS FENCES.
Nebraskan is in Washington on Sig
nifiCant Business.

Washington, Mar. Politicians
attribute a hidden significance to the
visit of William Jennings Bryan in
Washington today. The establish
ment of Johnson headquarters here
and in New York and in other east
ern cities, and rumors of plan to
capture the eastern delegations to
Denver for the Minnesota man, have
caused some trepidation among the
Nebraskan's supporters in Washing
ton. Mr.. Bryan will hold several i'm
portant conferences with democrat
leaders in Washington today.
Tomorrow Mr. Bryan will invade
Pennsylvania, one of the strongholds
of the opposition to his candidacy,
speaking tomorrow evening in Pitts
burg. Reports state that the members
of the Pennsylvania Bryan League
have arranged an elaborate reception
for their chief, and that his appear
ance in the Smoky City will mark
the beginning of determined cam
paign to contest the state delegation
in the interest of the Nebraskan.
From Pittsburg Mr. Bryan will go
to Parkersburg, w. Va, and thence.
to Kansas City, Mo, where he will
be the guest of honor at one of the
greatest political banquets ever held
in the west, to be held Monday night
On Tuesday he will be in Lincoln
and will entertain the democrat and
populist editors of Nebraska at
banquet, Later next week he will be-
gin western tour that will include
cities and towns in Kansas, Colo

While Mr.. Bryan is engaged in
swinging around the circle, his OPP
pouents in the east will be busily en-
gagged in manufacturing Johnson
thunder, in the hope of preventing
the Nebraskan's nominate for the
presidency. The anti-Bryanites hope
to secure control of the delegations
from New York, Pennsylvania, New
Jersey, Delaware and Massachusetts,
with possibly several others. In New
York, the Bryan opposition is head
ed by Mayor Mcclellan and Charles

politicians have taken the lead in
