of the feathers two of the most
 likely contenders fCr the little ne. Gro's title were Solly Smith and
 Johnny Griffin. Accordingly Smith and Griffin were matched for a sort of elimination battle. which took place al Roby. Ind. in 1893, before
 the old Columbian Athletic club. Griffin was perfect artist with the
 left hand. sending it true to the
 warll with dazzling swiftness, and before three rounds of the fight had pas ed. Smith was staggering blidnly around the ring. with both eyes nearly closed. and his face batter ed beyond recognition. George Dix on. sitting in q box close by the
 rinEside. remarked to his manager:
 Smith won't last out the fourth round The gong pealed. and Solly
 was assisted. half pushed from his corner by Joe ChOynski. his second.
 He was so far gone that he tOttered to the ropes. and Crasped the upper one with his left glove 10 support
 himself Griffin bore down upon his beaten foe, cool. triumphant, with
 not a mark on his couutenance to
 show that he had been engaged in a battle Smith released his grip of the rope and stood swaying to and fro Griffin made preliminary
 low feint for the stomach with his
 left. and drew back the right to swing for the chin point. The first action left his side unguardcd for one brief second. and in that instant smith swung wildly. aimlessly, but with tremendous force with his right. The punch caught Griffin fair and square on the joWl. split ting his cheek open 10 the bone, and Johnny n0pped senseless on the
 padded floor. Smith again grasped
 the rope and watched stupidly while
 George Silcr counted off the fatal
 ten seconds. Griffin did not move. and Smith was proclaimed victor amidst storm of yellS that shook the very benches.
 OftentimeS We do things quite un- expectedly and don't mean to offend by remarks We make. and yet at times we say things that are of fensive 10 some within our hearing
 and not intended for them at the
 time, but which hit straight home. For instance. last week at Philadel-
 phia. Jack O'Brien introduced Bat fling Nelson to his great audience. Bat was called upon to make
 speech, and this is what he said:
 "Gentlemen. I've whipped lot
 of good men. and I've been whipped couple of times. but I always
 fought on the square. They never
 could say Battling Nelson wasn't on
 he level I never faked. The pub
 lie always got it moneys worth when I fought. l never entertained
 suggestion to fake. No faking
 game has ever tempted me. Gentle
 men. have no use for faker."
 And there stood Jack, the con-
 lessor" right beside nim. It is
 said that the men simply nod as
 rhcv pass each other now where
 formerly they used to shake each
 other by tie hand. And ye' Bat
 never gave it a thought that he
 was embarrassing O'Brien in his
 own club, before his own audience.

DOG GRIEVED ITS LIFE AWAY
Died Just Two Days Before Aged
 Master Passed Away.

NEW YORK. Feb. | - Reuben $. Decker, a native of New Lots, whom many old Brooklynitcs will remember as part owner of the Capitoline skating rink and base ball park while it existed between the years 1862 and 1878. died Sun day at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Laura Cruikshank. 66 Clin- ton avenue Jamaica, in his S1st year
 Buff. MT. Decker's handsome St. Bcrnard-collie, grieVing over his masters illness. died Friday, two days before MT. Decker.
 The faithful animals grief when her master took to his bed and failed to come out for his accus- toned walks nearly three weeks ago was pathetic, Mrs. Cruik- shank said They had been almost inseparable companions for eight years.
 Buff was permitted to walk into Mir Deckers room occasionally to see her master. II was some small comfort to have MT Decker pat her on the head in the beginning, but as Mir Decker's illness advanced and he became more and more list less the dog began to nope. Buff later showed disinclinatiOn to eat, and few days before the animal died it would not eat nothing at all"
 On Friday" said Mrs. Cruik- shank, "I set bowl of milk before Buff She crouched down. laid her head between her paws, looked sadly at me and wagged her tail She would not touch the milk. A few minutes later. when I went outside, Buff was still in the same position as when I left her, but stone dead.'
 On Saturday night MT. Decker's condition was very grave. His tongue was coated and he could scarcely talk. He made as if to say something to those gathered around him. And what he said were perhaps the last words he uttered They showed he realized the end was near.
 Buff will miss me-" he said. Then he lapsed into unconscious ness. The end came Sunday.
 In life Bluffs devotion to her mas ter was shown on more than one occasion. Once mounted patrol man of Jamaica precinct, while in conversation with MT. Decker, thought he would test Buff's loyal ty. The officer raised his hand as if to strike Mir. Decker. Instantly, with a growl, Buff jumped upon the policeman and fastened her teeth in his coat near his throat. The animal was dragged off with diff culty Needless to say, the blue coat never again attempted such an action.

Too Much For Bill.

A funny stunt came off in Phila- delphla years ago. Cyclone Kelly, a middleWeight rough houser from California, arrived by the brake | beam route, borrowed tights and a pair of shoes from Kid Carter and fought Black Bill, of Merchantville, big negro heavyweight. In the second round Kelly leaned over in | clinch and, clubbing his arm like a baseball bat, brought his wrist down heavily over Black Bills kid neys - twice. Black Bill went down on his stomach, covered his head
 with one glove and rolled his eyes
 nearly out of his head.
 What are you quitting for? Get up and fight" yelled Cyclone.
 "Ah ain't goin' to fight no more til they quit throwin' bottles out i of the gallery" retorted Black Bill
 And he stayed down. That kind of | kidney punch is pretty effective.
 Billy Murphy came to this country he brought with him from the An 1 tipodes the reputation of carrying l | ne StTOHSeSt puuCH ever pOSSeSSeu l by featherweight in his right mitt
 The punch was there all right, as
 more than enc of Murphy's oppon. ents found to his cost. During a
 battle with Ike Weir, the famous
 Belfast Spider, Murphy received an
 awful trimming from the former
 He was cut to pieces, reeling help. lessly about the ring and ready
 to drop. Weir, whether through

 away. He half turned as he did so
 and in that single instant Murphy
 braced himself and sent his right

 immediately after.

Leach Lost His Teeth.

The first time l saw Leach Cross fight was at the Dry Dock, on the same night, I think, that Willie Lewis pulled off that fake knockout with Jack Robinson. of Chicago Leachie was already touted as a "comer.' He could fight. So could the fellow against him. Before the fight had gone long Leach caught hard smash on the mouth, and out flew piece of bridgework and couple cf artificial teeth. Artifi- cial teeth cost money. With a vail of dismay Leach jumped back and danced around the ring, yelling Me teet-me teet'-dont step on me teet!" The referee picked them up and the fight went on

 For fast scientific boxing, the coming DrisColl-Attell go should rank high in the annals of the ring
 Tom Sharkey pulled of a few funny ones in his day. Tom wasn't such an easy mark as he looked. He was one of the forerunners of he modern school boxers who make fighting a business. and save their money Tom came along when John l.. Sullivan was still regarded as the ideal fighter. and when every one thought a fighter ought to stand on the street corners and throw his money into the gutter. To tell the truth. that is why so many stories about Tom came into circulation. Tom wasn't so tight" after all. and could tell of many occasions when he has helped a poor bum" along with a dollar or two. and when he has even bought railroad tickets across the continent for some busted sailor who hailed from Vale jo. where Tom first fought in this country.
 But. as said. he wasn't exactly an easy mark.
 When Tom was at the height Of his fame in the ring he usually trained at Coney Island and spent his time along the beach. One after noon Tom seated himself at a ta- hle on the porch of a famous hotel down that way and ordered din her. While he was busy with the fork along came two well dressed strangers, and. spying Tom. immed- lately walked up to his table and opened conversation. There they stood and talked and talked. and Tom. becoming embarrassed, finally asked them if they wouldn't sit down
 They would. And no sooner were they seated than they ordered an elaborate dinner. with plenty of wine Tom ate along leisurely. and kept up his end of the conversation. The strangers managed 10 finish at the same time. and ordering a couple of Havanas leaned back in leisurely enjoyment as Tom called the wait CT.
 All on one check, Mir Sharkey?" asked the waiter
 Nav" replied Tom. give me mine separate"

 "I said Give me mine separate Y" said Tom with a scowl
 But you asked Us to sit down were bus ed-we cant pay for all this shrieked the butters-in.
 That's none of my business" said Tom cCldly. 'I asked you if you would sit down; didn't ask you if you'd feed"
 And paying for his own dinner he got up. bowed pleasantly and walked away from there.

Bob FitzsmmCns has always wanted to be an animal tanner Down at Coney Is and his friend Bostock had to watch him all the time to keep him from slipping into the lion cages. Bob had many an experience with lions.
 There was one that came a few days after he won the middle weight championship from Jack Dtmpsey. Bob was so tick ed over his new title that he couldn't keep still, but coming North again jump ed off the train at every station and jogged up and down the plat form. At one station travelling circus was unloading it's animal show. Bob spied a big cage with lion in it. An" he said, here's where l show you fellows a trick. You've heard of the power of the hu, man eye. Just watch me"
 Bob stepped close to the lion cage and directed blue stare at the lion.
 Hes afraid of me-" chuckled Bob, and suddenly shooting out his left fist he punched the lion on the nose, Just as suddenly the lion whipped enc huge paw through the bars and gave Bob a raking slash on the forearm. There was a shower of freckles. Bob continued his jour- ney with the famous left in band ages. His fighting career came near ending right there
