LESTER READY
FOR BIG FIGHT
WHITE HOPE" BORN IN CALUMET
WILL MEET BILL LANG IN
SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA,
THIS WEEK.

Jack Lester, the white hope from
the Northwest, and the man whom
Tommy Burns picks as the coming
heavyweight champion Of the world, is
now in sydney. Australia training for
his coming battle with Bill Lang,
which probably will take place within
the next week.
The Northwestern giant is perhaps
the first boxer of Importance who ever
did his training on shipboard.
Lester was compelled to adopt this
method of training by force of circum-
stances. When the match was made,
Lester was up I'm Seattle. He figured
on taking a steamer which would have
landed him I'm the antlpodes about the
middle of March, and thus give him
plenty OF time in which to train. But
by some hook or crook he missed con-
nections and was thus forced TO wait
a whole month for the next steamer.
News of The battle between Lester
and Lang will be eagerly awaited by
the fans all over the United States,
particularly i'm the copper country as
Calumet claims the honor OF being Les
ter's birthplace. The young giant from
the Northwest was discovered several
months ago by Tommy Burns. and cv-
cry time he started he was a sensation
Although he never met what could be
termed a likely opponent. still, he dis
played such wonderful class over the
men he did meet that the good judges
of the sport. such men as John Grace
Of San Francisco, feel certain that
Lester can take care of himself with
any of them outside of Jack Johnson
or Sam Langford
Lang is the best big man on the
other side of the water. True, ne was
beaten in twenty -round bout by
Burns and badly hammered by Johnson
and Langford, but he managed To hold
his own in short bout with Al Kauf-
mann i'm the East several months ago.
He looks to be good trial horse for
Lester and if the latter should man
age to register a knockout punch he
will be the sensation of the rising crop
of heavyweight hopes.

FELT SORRY FOR HIS MULE.
But That Was Before the Grizzly Made
His Attack.

In n trip over the Sierra Nevadas a
Californian took with him not only his
favorite horse. but mule named Billy.
Billy was large iron gray mule of the
pack variety and had more than once
made the trip.
On the second day in the mountains
the owner tethered Billy TO a tree, al
lowing him about twenty feet range
where there was good feed. and then
took n seat on a fallen tree not far
away to eat his own lunch. He had
finished his meal and was half doing
when suddenly the mule reared and
snorted loudly. His owner sprang to
his feet ana looked about.
Not ten feet off stood huge grizzly
bear. evidently with designs on the
owner OF the mule. That individual
rushed for the nearest tree and made
good time in climbing it. He was safe
for the nonce, but how about Billy?
How could the tethered mule defend
himself?
TO his owners surprise Billy dropped
his head after n moment and resumed
feeding as If oblivious of the griZzly's
proximity. AS for the bear, he stood
still for several minutes, his eyes wan
dering from the man in the tree TO
Billy. The mules composed demeanor
evidently puzzled him.
By and by the grizzly started TO make
n circuit of the tree to which the mule
was tethered Billy continued to nib
bic grass, but kept an eye on the enc
my's movements The bear emitted a
series of deep growls, then opened his
great mouth and disclosed two rows of
ugly teeth.
Slowly the great creature advanced
upon the mule. Billy still continued
to craze, his back toward the bear.
Nearer came the grizzly and still near
er. The mule stopped feeding. From
his perch the Californian watched the
scene with GREATNESS interest. He felt
sorry for his mule.
Finally the bear stopped, rose on his
hind quarters and prepared to strike.
At that moment the mule, at whose
stupidity his owner had wondered,
sprang forward. and the grizzlys paws
struck empty air.
Then the man in the tree saw a gray
form double itself into a ball and
bound upward. 1t was the mules
turn. Out of that ball flew two iron
shod hoofs, which shot back and forth
with the regularity of piston rods. with
n thump. thump. thump. against the
body of the grizzly. which was COM
pletely off it's guard.
He was hit all ovcr-on his EeGd. on
his shoulder. or LIS side. on his back
by those Pile drivl@g L.nd feet. re
fell In one direction. then In another,
seeming utterly incapable of getting
away, and when Billy stopped kicking
the breath OF life was gone from the
bears body
The mule had not hair harmed,
apparently. and after resting a bit re-
turned quietly to his feeding Chicago
