Is the Fighter a Coward?

Tracing back into the tome of his tory you may find that some of the greatest fighters of the past have been accused of being towards. There was Young David, the same chap who had put Goliath out in a few rounds. If you remember, Saul chased him over the country trying to get a meeting, and David dodged the issue. But in the heat of battle none of 'em had anything on Young David.
 There was Richard IT. His con science used to win a decision over him every now and then. He used 10 see things without drinking, which is much more economical than some people accomplish the trick, and shiyer and shake in his tent De- fore the bugle call of battle. But once the soiree started little Rich ard was there with all the bells.
 Alexander the Great, who covered a multitude of ground, much more than James McMAleer ever did. wss a very nervous chap, so history says, and used to fidget and squiu1 before the clarion call to arms. But once lnt BOgS SOl AO A4AfAhS --rNN merry Alex was there stronger than any German cheese that has bee2 kept in cartivity for years.
 Though General Robert Fitzsiui- mons never led an army. like Alex- ander, he has covered 9 lot Of ter ritory, and again like Alexander, some times he was nervous and fidgety when not engaged in the heat of battle.

Success, financially at least, lids far 10 er9S>n the e1or,s of the Colorado man whose greatest ring achievement was a knockout Of Al Kaufman in ten rounds on Friday week ago.
 From a local pugilistic manager who returned from Kansas City comes considerable news aent ring affairs in the Missouri town which in the main pertains to Flynn and Kaufmann. To this manager the fire manhghter announced his plans for the near future. Flynn will go to New York where he has several oneTs to appear electrically.

 Al Wants Return Match.
 Al wants a return match with Flynn. knowing in his heart that he is the master of the Pueblo fireman, and that his defeat last week was fluke, as does everybody else who is well posted in ring doings. But he is showing the right sort of judg- ment in coming to southern Califor- nia for a rest and then seeking out the wise counsel of Delaney.
 With Delaney behind him he would make even shorter work or Flynn than in their first match. A lot of people do not like Delaney be- cause he went behind the nigger in the Reno affair, but he won as he always has done. With Delaney in the other corner, a lot of Jeffries' friends would have cashed, where they only paid of as 1t was. It is not gfring credit wllere cxedit is due to say that it was Delaney, not Johnson. who beat our Jeff at Reno. and Jeff will furnish the argument on this question.
