succession. Yesterday Bob sat down
and told me the story of his start, and
here it is:
My mother began by training me
for the ministry said Bob. Until I
was IL years old 1 went to church and
sang in the choir twice a week, and to
Bible class twice on Sundays. But for
a box of snuff and a kicked football
l would have been a minister today.
I'VE were living in New Zealand,
about 1900 miles across the sea from
Australia. One day my mother sent
me to buy a box of snuff at a chemist
shop near our home. On the way L
passed an open field where two foot
ball teams were playing. I walked
slowly, watching the game and wishing
that 1 could get a chance to kick the
ball. 1 was very curious to know how
it would feel. Just while 1 was wish
ing, somebady kicked it over the fence
and it rolled right to my feet. So I
kicked it back again as hard as I
could.
"A second later the captain of one
of the teams, a big fellow over six
feet tall, leaped the fence and ran
what he meant to do he struck me a
terrific blow on the nose, smashing
it and cutting a cash across the bridge
that is the only scar l carry today af-
ter hundreds of ring side battles. The
blow knocked me senseless. L was I'M
conscious for three hours and a half,
and the blood that ran down my
throat strangled me so that 1 came
very near dying. At last they brought
me to. The coin 1 was carrying had
flown out of my hand when L was
struck. L remembered that I had
started for some snuff, but I had
nothing to buy it with, SO I stagger ed
home in the dark empty-handed.
when I slipped in through the
door my mother only saw that I had
a bloody nose. My training for the
ministry hadn't included fighting. L d
| often been warned that L must not
fight
You've been fighting, have you =
asked my mother. And without an
other word she turned and took q
stout whip down from its nail on the
wall and proceeded to give me the
worst whipping 1 ever had IN my life.
Then she sent me to bed.
Next morning she came to my room.
My eyes had swollen over night and
were closed tight. and my nose was a
sight. When my mother saw for the
first time how badly 1 was hurt she
cried over me and told me again and
again how sorry she was she had
whipped me, and 1 told her how it all
happened. Then she sent for a doctor.
I was hurt Friday afternoon. Saturday
there was no school, and on Sunday my
eyes were still closed, so for the first
time 1 was let out of going to church.
But Monday 1 was made to so to school.
There the scholars laughed at me so
much that I ran home, and 1 never
went to either a school or a church

Rudyard Kipiing.

It is quite generally agreed that
Rudyard kipling is England's greatest
poet; but ability to write good poetry
is not the only requirement, else Al
fred Austin never would have been
given the honor. Kipling is a parti-
san in politics, and this fact is regard
ed as distinctly in his disfavor. Queen
Mary is for Kipling, and so also is King
George. The Unionist party may be
counted upon to favor his candidacy.
but the Liberals, who are now in pow
er, do not take kindly to him
Kipling is not pushing his own
candidacy, but his friends are. 1t is
rumored that they induced him to
suppress a recent satirical poem in
which he scored the government on
the Marconi affair.
Other candidates for the laureate
ship are Thomas Hardy, the novelist,
who has written some poetry, and
William Watson.
Kipling was born in 1865. Some of
his best known works. in prose and po-
etry, are: Departmental D:tties,
plain Tales from the Hills" SOLDIERS
ThI ee,'' 1.-The Light That Failed"
'Barrick-Room Ballads 1.-The Jun

and PUCK of Pook's Eill.''

afterward. My mother used to send
me to church, but I'd lie on the grass
outside and listen to the hymns, be-
cause I loved the singing, and then
ask somebody the minister's text, SO L
could tell what it was when they ask
er me at home
1.-The trouble was that all this time
I could only think of the man who had
beaten me. Week after week the de-
sire for revenge grew But l was a
slim little fellow, only IL, and 1 knew
I'd have no chance to fight If 1 met
him. Brooding over it put an idea into
my mind. Id work and grow as strong
as 1 could, and learn how to fight, so
that I'd be ready when 1 was big
enough to tackle him.
II went to my brothers blacksmith
shop and induced him to give me two
old leather aprons. I cut these up
into patterns for boxing gloves. I'd
never seen any, but I'd heard about
them. I sewed the gloves with string
and stuffed them with leather clip
pings and cotton, and then got the
other boys of the neighborhood to-
gether and boxed with them every
day.
box any of them easily, and I was
growing tall. Every night before I
went to sleep I thought of what I'd
do to that football player when l
grew a little bigger. We were right by
the sea and I heard about what great
fighters sailors were. So I made up
my mind to run away and be sailor
for year or two. 1 had fixed it up
with the captain of a bark called the
out the next morning, when up came
a terrible storm in the night and
wrecked the Isabella Ridley and nine
or ten other vessels, driving them
high on the shore. I gave up the sea
and got a job as a carriage painter
at seven shillings a week. In a few
months I was a good painter, having
a very steady hand for the fine strip
! strong fast enough, and got another
! job as a striker in Parson & Andrews
foundry, swinging a heavy sledge-
This was great work, but after three
years I threw a hot tire over the fore

stuck to that job five years.

He knocked me out of being a min

knocked him out of being a football

FITzSIMMONS' ONE FIGHT SCAR
Got 1t When a Boy and 1t Spoiled
Plan to Make Him a Minister

I take little risk of being criticised
when 1 say that no living boxer
knows more about the fine points OF
the sport than Bob Fitzsimmons. 1t
was Bob's marvellous fighting brain
as we'll as the mighty left fist they
used to call the ''freckled thunder
bolt" that won him the heavyweight
championship of the world when he
faced Jim Corbett at carson at noon'
March II, 1897.
Bob Fitzsimmons was a genuine
middle weight that day. He weighed
exactly 154 pounds stripped. Never
since the boxing glove was invented
have so much fighting force and skill
been combined with the slight weight.
Corbet was the cleverest of the big
men of his time, and FitZsimmons
whipped him, wore him down and
knocked him out in IA rounds be-
cause his fighting brain was better
than Corbett's and because clean liv-
ing had given him endless stamina
and courage and self-confidence.
AMI Fitzsimmons was as true a
sportsman as ever lived. Almost a
novice, he met the great ''Nonpareil. -
Jack Dempsey. for the middleweight
championship of the world. In a few
rounds he had the mastery. Then,
when Dempseys defeat was sure,
freckIed Bob held back his blows and
pleaded with Dempsey to resign the
unequal contest. You'll have to
the champion. And F'itzsimmons,
after appealing to Dempsey's seconds
and the referee, reluctantly forced the
fight and slipped over the finishing
blow. Then, picking Dempsey up in
his arms. he carried Jack to his cor
ner, with tears streaming down his
face. For the moment Fitzsimmons
forgot that he had just won a world s
championship title and a fortune. He
saw only the pathos of the defeat
that ended the carer of famous
champion and a game man.
The story of Bob F'itzsimmons'
start as a boxer has never been told
1t is generally known that he was a
horseshoer in Australia and that he
came to America an unknown and
leaped almost at once into world wide
fame as middleweight champion.
But FitzsimmOns was 81 years old
when he came here. He must have
had some history in Australia before
coming to America. Worlds cham
pionS aren't made in a few months.
1t takes years of fighting and hard
work to get where Fitzsimmons was
when he beat Dempsey, and later on
Corbett, and then Gardner, taking the
n1iddleweight, heavyweight and light
heavyweight world championships in

Knowing Pelky as well as 1 do, I
am positive he is nearly heartbrokcn
over the fatal accident at Calgary.
There is nothing vicious in his make
up, and he was in the fighting game

it. When I first met him he was re-
garded as a raw dub. But he has a
grand physique, and in the hands of q.
man like Tommy Burns he should

to Pelky Smith

promoter, who knows Pellky person
ally, has this to say about him:
Il formed PeIky'S acquaintance at
North Adams, Mass, in February,
1912, and trained him for a fight with
Jack Winrow, the English heavy
weight wrestler, and, strange to relate,
he knocked out Winrow in the first
round in just about the same manner
that McCarty was stopped.
''Pelky is one of the finest gentle
men personally that I ever met in the
boxing business. He is a highly edu-
Gated man, who speaks four Ian
guages. He is of striking appearance,
but would be taken for a business

and general department, rather than

Smith which called for a purse of
$4,000. He probably would have &C
cepted it. Pelky could grab that
money right off the reel by battling
Smith in California. Tommy Burns
may steer his man into the big prize
unless Pelky suffers through having
been the murderer of McCarty. Often
times a fighter who kills another is
not able to fight at his best for a long
period.
Willard was recently beaten by
Smith in twenty rounds on the coast,
but his fighting plainly showed he
still is in the race for the champion
