lot of Little Jem Driscoll. Having
worked six years to win a featherweight
championship he has about decided that

was talking between puffs as he
thrashed away at a punching-bag up
at Cannons Tavern in the wilds of
Westminster.
The only answer was to advertise"
but there was little consolation in that.
he was referring to the fact that Owen
Moran had slipped over here from Eng
land and got couple OF fights
with Abe Attell. Driscoll came over
little late. and now he has the
job of his life to prove that he is
the real goods. Nobody will believe II

Aside from his peculiar and interest

that he came from a championship belt.
He believes that there Is something in
the makeup of Western boys that
makes them champions.
The facts would tend to bear him out.
In this little town of Hegeswich Bat
Ting Nelson was born. His real name
is BATTLING Nelson. He was christened

A little further away boy was born
by the name of William Papke, and he
also became a champion.
Right in the middle of the community

team was organized and another cham

Believing that he has 100 years in

seriously OF some day becoming long
