sdered a decent following is my hrmest
belief In the present era 1t is taught
in nearly all colleges. academies and
schools.
Boxing to me should be taught to
every youngster. In the first place it
teaches them self reliance and again
makes them apt in the art of self de-
Tense. Take any big man in life, he Is
always boxing. as you may say. and
though he may get the worst of 1t now
and then, he always comes back. That
is drilled into you through boxing.
AS an instance, l was going into the
Paramount A. c. in New York one aft
ernoon. There were a few youngsters
playing around the door l invited
them in to spar. One little fellow re-
fused to put on the gloves, and was
almost ready to cry at the suggestion
That convinced me that the little fell
low lacked spirit. Without that nee
essary requirement what chance will
he have when he is thrown on his own
resources? If he had boxed little and
received a few singing wallops 1t would
make him brace up and also teach the
lesson that as we travel through life
everything is not sweet song.
First Lessons important.
In many cases a good boxer is ruined
in his first lesson. He puts on the
gloves with a finished teacher and
naturally, has no chance Time and
again the pupil is discouraged. He
quits or enters the ranks of the slug
gers and goes just so far. For any
strong man can slug, but only a few
can box
For youth who studies boxing. his
first thought must to be to act nat
urally. This artificial posing or cruch-
ing is big handicap. especially if he
meets a dangerous rival Common
sense will show you that when mSving
about one must be natural to retain
firm balance.
Another important point is to IN

II ACKEY M'FARLAND Is acknowl-
edged to be the greatest boxer in
- the world and the real gentleman
OF the ring. For the past eight
years his marvellous skill and wonderful
defense have been simply phenomenal.
During that time he has engaged in over
ESQ battles, and has yet to be known as
a lover.
Packey has written the following mar
rative for the readers of The Georgian, in
which he tries to explain his successful
career. Also he gives the boys of the
country few words of advice. McFar-
land has amassed a fortune and intends
to give up boxing and study law.

hibition games against teams of
stronger leagues than the Eastern
and every game Of the "a was
full-length affair.
Timothy J. Keefe, who fiourshed
back in the dark and devious days
of 1883, perhaps has a better claim
to the real major league record
than any other man. Tim ran 10
in a row. There IL just one flaw In
his title once he was taken out
in the fifth inning Of a game that
was won in order to save him for
work the next day. The whole
thing is so shrouded by the haze
Of antiquity thet It ia hard to tell
whether or not he was really enti-
tied to the credit Of that game At
any rate. he has 1s in a row to his
credit.
The two most marvellous pitching
marks OF all recorded baseball his
tory were these
Radbourne's winning Of rs games
in is days.
Ed Cushman's run Of 90 victories,
with only one defeat against him in
an entire season.
Radbourne's mark will stand for
all time. No pitcher in these days
Of pampering is ever asked to pitch
two days in succession, much less
eighteen, and never will Rad
bourne's mark be touched. Never,

Cushman ought to have had rs

NTARQUARD's record is, all
~ things considered, as great
as any OF the past. He went the
fun distance In all his games ex-
cept three He has had grand
team behind him. but the sort Of
ball he has been pitching would
win games for Brooklyn.
Marquard was born at Cleveland
in 1889 He began, as usual. on
the sand lots. His first regular en-

Young started. indianapolis got
Marquard from Canton and from
the Indians the Giants bought him

81 .0O0-all real money
Marquard didn't break into real

His first attempt was an awful
drubbing, defeat so terrific in It's
consequences that the Rube wasn't
worth a hang for the next two

to all other men. And this brought
men to his Office to consult him on
every conceivable subject that concerned
the legal, domestic and social concerns
of their lives.
As churchman, he was bigger than
any church in this State, nor could all
the churches OF the State contain him,
for he overrfowed them all. He was
a patriot, and amid the times that tried
mems souls, through smoke and hail
OF shot and shell, he proved his devo-
ton to what he believed to be for the
best, and when peace came he helped
ia raise a pillared stone and called it
Mizpah!
He was politician, not in the sense
of party strife for place and personal
power and greed, but he read the his
tory of the past with microscopic eye,
and with that light in his telescope of
faith
He dipt into the future as far as human eye
could see;
Saw the vision of the world and all the wonder
that would be
Till the wardrum throbbed no longer and the
batt1efags were furled,
In the parliament of men the federation of the
world"
As husband and father and neighbor
and friend, this audience knows it all.
We shall not see his like again.
He believed in the resurrection. He
believed nightly in heaven. He loved
God and the little children. He hon
ored real manhood and seemed almost
to worship at the shrine of true woman
hood. His faults were few, his virtues
many, and they will shine brighter as
the years go on.
His country, his family, his church,
will miss him, but God will number
him with the saints, and the memory
Of his personality will be to US as liv-
ing inspiration to the noblest life.
