Club. OF Chicago. the greatest aquatic

1906 IIebner- is but sixteen years old.
and a few months ago was totally IN
known. but under the care of Instructor
Frank Sullivan he entered his com
petitfve career last fall, and since then
he has been constantly and prominently
before the public.
First it was a tank record that ha
established for the 50-yard sprint, then
a defeat Of the speedy MarqUard
Schwartz in a lOC-yard race, then a vic
tory in the national championships, and
finally the winning Of a place on the
Olympic team. Hebner has a brilliant
future before him. He mas a stroke
that experts have pronounced as good
as any seen in this country. He is
strong and enduring, and he has youth.
II should be remembered that at the
age Of sixteen Daniels had never beat

NEW YORK. July lit sounded
good a week ago to hear that Billy
Madden had decided to hop back into
the pugilistic limelight again, but at
that time there were folks who thought
Mr.. Madden didn't mean il when he said
It. Now, those people realized their
folly. for Silly is on the job with both
feet, so 10 speak, and with his able as
sistarce this coming fall and winter will
see some hot bouts. The good old days
for the fight fans are surely coming
back with this revival in the manly
sport.
Madden, as a side kick, has signed
Sailor Burke for eighteen months. This
is a good bona fide piece Of work and
not a barroom agreement. Sailor
Burke has begun 70 get himself into
trim for the work which is to follow.

ure Madden as a pug manager is no

Madden has the following 10 say about
his new venture in the managerial line:
when / gave Gus Rubin up two
years ago 1 started looking for a big
likely fellow. other men have made
fortunes out of the fight game by man
aging the right kind Of a fighter. and
why should I not do so? The work is
clean, If handled so, and legitimate. 50
why not? I came 10 New York a dozen
times in search of my man. but every
time ! went home disgusted. One night
I met Tom Sharkey up at his place in
Fourteenth street. and he asked me if
I had ever seen the chap they call
Sailor Burke. told him had not.
We'll said Tom. the next time he

at Timer Park. and watched the tar
beat the life nearly out OF an opponent.
then 1 got busy. 1 thought Burke was
the strongest nidshipman I had ever
seen with the dukes, and I got strong
for him at once. Now, this is not con
talk. but you can take II from me that
there Is not a man of Burke's weight in
this favored land that can hand out a
waIIop with equal force and precision.
If his left was as good as his right. I
would go after Ketchel and land a title
at once"
Madden has an idea that after he
puts Burke UP against a few clever fell
lows and teaches him the rroper use
Of his south fin, that he will nave

ertheless, IL Is the truth. They seem
TO be picked up as heroes for the simple
reason that foreign countries DO not
