follows
"A comparison of the days when you.
John l., jackson, Fitz, Sharkey and
other really formidable men were in
the game with present day conditions
is enough to make a fan of any stand

hams when in action must certainly
amuse you Tt would be difficult to

could not have stopped the whole lot

often wondered where they would fit
if their opponents happened to be Dix

the Oldtimers who went into the ring
to fight, did fight, and what is more,
certainly be sad for the 1912 cham
piOns- The saddest part of all is that
a grand old sport has to carry this
bunch of jokes on its back"
I quote this letter because il is a
fair sample Of many sent me by veteran
fans who still worship the idols of old.
Arguments that involve comparison of
boxers of one generation with those
who preceded them will arise, I sup
pose, as long as the sport has a vogue.
There is no way of settling such diff

For the last Is years he has been

office of sheriff to which he now

he did credit to himself and to his
party. He made the race for the
same office two years ago and was
defeated by only seven votes.
