By Left Hook.

OLD POP TIME is a mighty for
midable foe, but records show
that many athletes. in many
different divisions, have given him
some long and fierce tussles before
the referee finally counted them out,
while others, after nearly a score of
years in active service, are still wag-
ing a merry little battle against their
unbeatable enemy.
There is no division in athletics
that uses up mans vitality somuch,
none that makes q young man age so
fast, none that is so strenuous as
pugilism. 1t calls for everything
there is in man every moment he is
in a battle, and practically every bat
tie robs him of a little more of his
natural strength, and leaves him just
little easier for Pop Time to con-
quer. a

hope" a very impressive beating.
