 CAREER AS NEWSBOY.

Tommy Ryan,, once the greatest scrapper of his size in the world, and the second man to hold the welter- weight title Mysterious Billy Smith having been the firSt-waS born forty two years ago tomorrow at Redland, N. Y. His parents died when he was a youngster, and Tommy was adopted
 by a man in Syracuse, which city he has ever since called home Like all kids of an adventuresome disposition, Tommy once ran away from home. going West to fight Injuns. He beat his way on freight as far as De- troit, but, not finding any redskins there to fall victims to his trusty rife he began selling papers in the railway station. The newsboys already on the spot resented the intrusion with their fists, but Tommy soon taught them their place and showed himself so handy with his fists that he was matched with number of Detroit professionals, and cleaned up the bunch in short order. His first big battle was with Martin Shaughnes essy. He licked the Irishman in twenty match. It took him exactly twice as long to turn the trick in the second bout, but after forty-sfx rounds Ryan was returned the Victor. In a few months Ryan had waded through all the welters of the middle west, and was 1QdUCuSO WILL d dClIlG SOdo~ bO~A" CT named Dan Needham, who claim ed the welterweight championship. The fight was pulled off in Minneap- olis and Ryan won after seventy-six rounds. Ryan clinched his right to the leadership of the welterweight dl- vision by licking Mysterious Billy Smith in a twenty-round affair. In a second meeting with Mysterious Billy" pulled off at Coney Island, the result was a draw. In 1896 Kid Me Coy was matched with Ryan. and Tommy, having neglected to train, was round1y whipped. That about ended Tommy's career as a fighter, al though he took part in several bouts afterward, and ten years ago made q trip to England and put away several of the third-class scrappers of John Bulls Island.
