athletic ability sufficient to hit
straight with the left hand.
No longer DO we ever hear the
idea that a man of 175 or $50
pounds is good enough to cope with
the whales of the heavyweight d.
vision at the present time. Time
was when a smashing good middle
weight with the wallop would be
thought plenty good enough to
handle himself creditably among
the cart horses who now infest the
upper range Of the pugilistic scale.
No More Wonders in Sight.
But nature seems loath to give
us another Bob Fitzsimmons or an
other Stanley Ketchel or Jack
Dempsey. There may be one in
embryo somewhere in this broad
land. but if there is he hasn't had a
pair of five-ounce gloves tied on
his wrists yet.
Fttzsimmons taught US that
man Of 166 pounds was plenty big
enough to whip II he was only good
enough. Ketchel. with his WALTON
and unmistakable gameness, could
whip 80 per cent of the big fellows
who posed as class fighters.
Perhaps you recall that Jack
Dempsey at his best never weighed
over las pounds, and like Ketchel
was infinitely better than most of
the heavyweights of his day-the
good old days" those were, too, in
which. we are told, the fighters
We're twice as good as they are to-

passed around for years by the

little fable and nothing more.
