Teamwork is constituted i'm the use of

throw under ordinary circumstances the
fiat of the hand should balance the
ball. which Is raised slightly over the

because IL is much larger and unwieldy.
There are dozens of methods of pass

there is the underhand throw-as used

distances.

Dover Castle, but after a short service
he soon tired of this occupation and
bought himself out and returned to New
Zealand. Here again he took up thresh-
ing. While work was slack, ne states
that he used to take contracts from the
authorities to kill wild hogs at so much
per tail. These hogs would at times
become a perfect nuisance TO the farm
ers; theE would kill the young lambs
in season and root up the grass and
spoil pastures. Matches were often
made at this sport, and Slade held the
championship in it. The hogs were not
shot, but were pursued with a dog I'M

with a bowie knife.

at that time was a back hold Cumber-

He easily defeated Tom Hudson, who
had defeated the Scotch champion.
Donald Dinnie, and afterward, when he
had taken I'D with Jem Mace, he de-
feated Joe Strong of Dunedin. Strong
was considered a firs:-rate wrestler
and had been champion of New Zea-

himself a world heater. He took his
defeat by Slade so badly to heart that
he committed suicide. The last time

As SIade Describes Battle.
The above is the way Herbert A.
Slade, who fought John l.. Sullivan in
Madison Square Garden, New York, on
Aug. 8, 1888, described the battle 70 the
writer. II may be interesting to many
old, and also young fight fans. to know
that Siade is now living at Silver City
and is employed at the new Tintic
smelter in the capacity of deputy sher-
iff. Slade is a splendid specimen Of
physical manhood. He stands six feet
in his sox, weighs 2O5 pounds, AMI is
forty-four inches round the chest. In
his close-eropped black hair a few
streaks of gray are beginning to APP
pear, but he is sound in wind and limb
and has the appearance of a man who
has taken good care of himself, and enc
would not guess his age to be more
than 40 years.
Siade says that he will go with John
L. on a tour throughout she country If
he wants him. and would like nothing
better. When asked if he would fur
nish the writer with a history IF his
life, he readily consented.
Comes Of Irish Stock.
Slade was born in Auckland in 1851
His father was an Irishman from the
County Waterford, and HIS mother was
a full-blOoded Maori He received a
common school education, but was
forced to so to work while very young
While at school he acquired his taste
for athletics, and became later the am
ateur champion hurdler of Canterbury,
Otaka. He also played considerable
cricket, and played in the Canterbury
Rugby football team He took up farm
work as a means of earning a liveli-
hood, and worked mostly on threshers
In the year 1871 he went to England
