Jack Johnson, Keche and Others Pack About Guns Pre-
Sumably to Save Their Fists

New York, Jan. S.-Prize fighters
have peculiar fioblcs, and one off them
was again brought to light this week
when a pug was arrested for alleged
shooting in a crowd at Madison Square
garden during the day bicycle races.
But why ahould scrapper carry a
gun?
One would expect a fighter to use
his fists in self defense and to rely
upon them entirely. Yet such a master

to carry a little French magazine pis-
toll carrying ten shots. Mccoy had
nicked ends of the bullets with knife

able to take care of himself with his
fists. He had that gun with him on the

The quiet, young, unmarried woman
Of today is consumed with a desire to
look old, and dresses accordingly
This surprising statement was made
yesterday to The Daily Mirror by one
of the best known west end modistes.
1.-THE young woman from 90 to 25
years of age she said, comes to be
dressed exactly like her mother. she
no longer wishes to look girlish.
"Her evening dresses are no ex-
ception to this rule in any way. They
are now as heavily trimmed and as
deliberately planned as an older wo-
mans.
THE reason for this, think, is that
all women over 20 lead nowadays an
Independent life. Young women are
no longer content to take an unob-
trusive position and to do as they are
told.
another reason is that the woman
Of 80 ID more successful in the mar
riage field and more appreciated gem
orally in social life.
1T Is o question OF experience, and
whilst Miss Twenty two has not that
experience, she can attempt a pre-
tence If she be dressed to suit the
part
Hats, too, join in the ageing effect.
There are few youthful hats at the
moment. They are all designed to
give the desired appearance Of ma
ture years.
Those who do demand the 'jeune
file style in dress are q few women

GOTCH PUTS COMEDY
INTO HIS WRESTLING MATCHES

In addition to being the champion
wrestler of the world. Frank Gotch of
Humbols, Iowa, a little village that
was unheard OF until Dan Mcleod hap
pened in at an "old home week and
engaged in wrestling bout with the
town champion" is acquiring con-
siderable of reputation as humorist.
Since he joined forces with Jim Jeff
ries, he has been meeting all Corners
and agreeing to forfeit $3.50 In real
money to any man he cannot throw in
Is minutes Not once has he been in
danger OF having to pay this sum, as
there is no one in this country outside
of one or two men who could possibly
stay that length Of time.
In one of his recent shows, there APP
peared two husky young giants who
wanted a chance to take down that
$3.50. Each weighed close to 18C
pounds. 1t is an old belief that hair
betokens strength. II this Is true, the
first of the pair mentione must have
been veritable Samson. for ON his
chest was hair two or three inches long
PIucked . Few Hairs.
Gotch lost no time In slamming him
to the mat close to the footlights. He
| then proceeded TO pluck a. few hairs
from the abnormal tufts that were sc
prominent. repeating as he did so: He
loves me, he loves me not, he loves me
he loves me not
The crowd shrieked with laughter al
the victim struggled to his feet and
hustled off the stage.
| The second young man had man
ager. The latter gave his protege some
wholesome advice.
II know you can stay is minutes
with Gotch and that $3.50 will come Ii
mighty handy this winter" he said
you do as ! tell you and we viii take
the money. Now, when Gotch offers tx

enough to do it,"

Gotch started forward with his righf

walked to the front o. the stage and
asked:
'Will you ladies anS gentlemen tell
me what hold to use in throwing this
gentleman"
"Toe hold" was the unanimous re-
ply.
Down went the victim to the mat
with the champion sitting on his chest
'sThis gentleman has shoes on and
/ cannot get toe hold under such con-
ditions." shouted Gotch.
Take them of" retorted the crowd.
And Gotch proceeded to do SO, throw
ing one shoe to one side of tile stage,
the other going in the opposite direc-
ton.
Ladies and gentlemen, ! find that
my opponent has on some tights that
have very thick feet. ! don't know that
can get the toe hold" was the neu
remark made by the champion.
take off the tights" yelled the
crowd.
And Gotch proceeded to do as di-
rected keeping his victim PROSTATE
all the time. The unfortunate was
now clad only In scanty pair Of
trunks.
At this juncture. Gotch turned to his
adversary and asked with smile on
his face: Have you any choice as to
which toe will tweak?'
The unfortunate merely groaned and
Gotch did not have to resort to the toe
hold to place him on his back. He then
rolled him up in the mat so that only
his head protruded and trund1ed him
Ioff the stage.
They tell still another story about
Gotch. This time, Jim Asbell, the
young Kansas City wrestler, who is a
member OF the Jeffries combination,
was the victim. AsbelI. after watching
Gotch throw several ambitious young
men in three or four minutes, remark
ed that the champion could not throw
him In any such time.
FIJI bet that Gotch can throw you
in a minute and thirty seconds,
said Jeffrfes
You're on" replied AsbelI
So. the next night, Asbell went ia
the mat with Gotch and stayed one
minute and twenty six seconds. The
following night he remained only one
minute and eight seconds The time
on the third night was 5S seconds and
when Gotch threw him in 4e seconds
the fourth night .Jeffries said:
Jim, You had better quit or Frank
Twill throw you In no time at all.
