FIGHTING CAME IS
AGE MAKER IN
QUICK TINE
Boxing Revival Calls Atten-
ton to Scarcity of Good
Fighters of Old
fBx w. w. Naughton,

San Francisco, Cal, Aug. 23.-With
boxing coming into its own" as Tim
McGrath says, and with a marked
scarcity of fighting talent staring the
promoters in the face, many are asking
how it is that the men OF the ring
disappear so quickly from the scenes
of their activities.
The sport-hungry fight fans keep
asking, where are the cracks of yes
teryear. Why can't they be located and
urged to return 10 the game? Surely
the glove play with old masters and
past masters would be more enter
tanning than the amateurish efforts of
the white hopes we are being plagued
with at present"
Is Strenuous Game.
Assuredly many good ring men have
gone out of commission and the fact
that the majority of them turned their
backs on the game before they reached
the age of s5 Is testimony that pugil-
ism is a strenuous profession.
A glance at their records makes EVIL
dent that old Bob Fitzsimmons was the
wonder of fighters of all ages, not
only as a workman, but so far as en-
durance is concerned. The freckIed one
fought his first battle when 81 years
old, he won the middleweight cham
pionship from Jack Dempsey at 20. de-
feated Jim Corbett for the heavy
weight title at IS and held it until he
was past 81. He lost to Jeffries but
came back" year later and made
chopping blocks OF Gus Rubin and
Tom Sharkey.
Didn't Know When TO stop.
Fitz did not know when TO stop
Only a couple of years ago he took up
the game again and lost to Bill Lang
in Sydney. AT that time Fitz was Al
years OF age and had been score OF
years in harness. Where in the annals
of fistiana has such career been du-
plicated?
A distinct contrast to the story of
Bob Fitzsimmons's ring life was that
OF Eddie Hanlon. OF San Francisco. who
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1911-08-26


probably holds the record for quick
aging. Eddie was fighting at Is, was
on the down grade at 20 and was re-
garded as a good old has been at
21. He pottered along a while and
dropped completely out OF the game
at 23
How old was Jim Corbett when he
won the championship was asked OF
the writer recently.
Ages OF Champions.
In order TO head off similar queries,
posted myself regarding the coming
and going or all heavyweight cham
pions' from ohm L. Sullivan's time
Sullivan was "a years old when he
became champion under the old rules.
When "a he lost to Jim Corbett under
the Queensbury system of milling Cor
bett was 20 when he became worlds
champion and he held 1t until he was
81. giving way to Fitzsimmons Fftz,
as have already stated. became heavy
weight champion at 35 and enjoyed the
distinction for two years
Jim Jeffries was "a years old when
he defeated Fitzsimmons at Coney ISL
and Big Jim retired from the ring

RICH STRIKE MADE IN PARK
COUNTY DESERTED PLACER

Denver, June 29-From the famous
old Tarryall placer mining district in
Park county comes news of big gold
strike. The bed of Deadwood creek
tributary of the Tarryall, has been
uncovered, and hundreds of dollars
worth of nuggets have been taken
out. This discovery was made on the
Look property, embracing an area of
only three and one-half acres. and for
this piece of land the Look brothers,
Bon l., /. B. and Jhon, say they would
not sell for $4,000 in cash.
The lucky strike, made twelve days
ago, was kept secret as long as pos
sible, but it became known Tuesday.
This spot in the Terryall district is
located six miles northwest OF Como,
$50 miles from Denver and six miles
from the Colorado and Southern rail-
way tracks. It produced in the old
days something like s26.0oo,o00 and
from the Peabody workings alone on
Deadwood creek, $6.0oo.000 worth OF
the bright yellow metal was washed.
It is district of good sized nuggets
and in the banks OF Fairplay and Co
mo are to be seen nuggets from the
new Tarryall worth as high as 500
piece.
Miners are busy there with wheel
barrow, shovel and pan before gold
was found at Leadville. The town Of
Hamilton. on Tarryall creek, once had
a population of 5000. all gold seekers.
and as thick as ants, they assembled
along the creek and Its tributaries to
pan the precious metal.
Then came the discovery Of the
rich fissure veins at Alma and Fair
play and later the discoveries at Lead
Vile, and there was an exodus to
those sections, the Tarryall miners
resolving to be the first going to the
new grounds. Time passed. and while
the Peabody workings were kept in
operation, greatly adding to the wealth
of the owners, their locations along
the Tarryall and the Deadwood were
neglected.

BETTER RASPBERRIES

Sam Hoffman, up in Park Center,
has found new way of helping the
raspberry patch to produce more and
better berries. He takes his spray
ing outfit out in the early morning
and sprays clear water on the berry
vines. He says this brings a finer
raspberry and he believes has in
creased his crop at least 25 per cent.
The plan sounds good and is worth
a trial.
