BIRTHDAY OF ISAAC PERRINs, EIGHTNBNFH
 CENTURY BOXER,

One5of the greatest boxers of eigfi- teenth century bare knuckle days was Isaac Perrins, who was. born in Birm-3 ingham, England, 163 years ago. to- day. Although he never held the. cham pionship, it was only because one. of the greatest boxers ins the history. of English pugi1ism then wore the: crown. Nowadays a boxer is consid-. cred to be at his best before he reach es thirty, but Perrins was about tIlir-. ty-six when he engaged in his first professional bout.
 Rerrins was a giant, six feet two in height, and weighing 240Epounds, yet he carried himself with the ease and grace of an athletic lad. Tn his young manhood he worked in the mills of Birmingham, and it was said that he could lift a thousand pounds of iron Into a wagon with the greatest ease Fl e was a pfous man, and on Sundays sang in the choir of a Birmfnghaan schurcha Birmingham was then a. great sporting center, and it was the ambition ofs many of the wealthy and noble men of that section to find. a man who could be developed into "a pugllistie champion One of these patrons of the manly art saw Perrirs sn church, and was struck by his great size and athletic bearing. Per rins was induced to enter, the ring and, after a course of Instruction in boxing. was matched with several good boxers.
 He won with the greatest ease, and in 1zs9, when he was in his thirty ninth year, sPerrins was matched with Tom Johnson, then the champion of England. Johnson was then nearly forty, and was lighter and smaller than Perrins but he was the most scientific boxer the ring had produced up to that time. The Johnson-Pe errfns battle, held on the turf at Danbury in Oxfordshire, is one of the classics of pugilism. It was a case of London against Birmingham. and the sports of these cities wagered thousands Of pounds on the result. g-5@ The fight was the feature event Of the greatest pugilistie tournament ever held. Ben Brain, who later de feated Johnson and won the title, was one of the participants in thehve heavyweight battles pulled off that day The Perrins-J J ohnson champion- ship bout laSted sixty-twe rounds Fortune favored now one, then the other, and when the men sss were brought to the center of the ring for the final round both were groggy and barely able to stand. Perrins struck and missed, and Johnson then landed a blow to the face of the Birmingham giant. It was mere tap, but it was the last straw, and Perrins dropped, unable to go on, after one of the bravest exhibitions ever witnessed.
