When John McGraw was string

Jack Chesbro is now leading the
simple life of farmer on his New
England farm, and four or five
years ago Jack was just about the
best In the business. 1t was his
pitching which put the New York
Americans in the running for the
pennant the only time they came
within hailing distance of the rag.
Ed Walsh was the "iron man" of
1908, pitching &C games and win
ming 40 of them. What did he do
last season? Well, not very much.
He won Is and lost II games and
his arm troubled him all season. 1t

fellows friends are worried.
"Stony" McGlynn's great work on
the mound made Milwaukee con-

game of the season. He worked In

Corbett-Jeffries bout at Coney
Island, May II, 1893, and in the
Fitz-Johnson battle at Philadelphia,
July II, 1907.
OF all the big battles within the
memory of the fight fans of today,
1t is probable that the greatest in
point of interest and excitement
and notoriety was the Sullivan-C Cor
bett scrap at New Orleans, II years
ago.
Sullivan had begun his whirlwind
career in September, 1883. He was
generally regarded as invincible. In
triumphal tour of the United
States he had met and defeated so
men. Corbett had beaten such men
as Joe Choynski and Jake Kilrain
and had fought great 81 round
draw with Peter Jackson.
Fighting enthusiasts could see
nothing but Sullivan. The fight was
advertised quite as extensively as
was the recent battle between the
new and the old champion.
Special trains from New York,
Boston, Chicago, San Francisco and
other cities began steaming into
New Orleans four or five days be-
fore the fight. The betting ranged
from 500 to $25 to 500 to $50 in
Sullivan's favor.

CUSTOMS-The nobility are

masses wear either white or un-

survives in a debased form. The
priests of Buddhism are ignorant
