fight at Coney Island in 1899.
"Jeffries was the greatest fighter that
ever lived. He was the strongest man
that ever donned gloves In a ring, and
he had the widest streak DOWN his

terribly afraid of Fitzsimmons and

seek an excuse to dodge the fight. He
was afraid he was going to be licked,
and I knew that Martin Julian was

Fltzsimmons in an adjoining room in
the building where the fighters were
awaiting the signal TO enter the ring.
MY man was lying on a cot in the

weak as a child from fear. and the

such d body should be formed comes

suggesting that the Keystone League,

authorities to merge or affiliate the pro-
posed league with the local league IS
looked lpon favorably by officers of the
latter. and it will be seriously consid-
cred at the next meeting of the ath-
letic committee, which has been set
for an early date. 1t is thought that
the States of New Jersey, Connecticut
and Massachusetts can be induced
without any trouble whatever to join
in the movement, and that i would not
be very long before the militia of other
States would become interested.
If the proposition is carried out and a
National Military Athletic League is
formed, S%ullivan's organization will
have i formidable rival to compete
with. and it may happen that, from the
position of despot. it may be reduced
to that of a suppliant.
