ANNIVERSARY OF TOM SAVERS,
 aLITTLE GIANT'' OF THE RING.
BY "GRAFY.'

Tomorrow will be the eightysev Savers, the lightest man who ever held the heavyweight championship, and perhaps the greatest fighter of his poundage who ever lived. The Little Giant" was born at Pimlico. near Brighton, England, May 25, 1928. He came of that best of all hum an fighting breeds, the Irish Cockney. In his youth he was a bricklayer, and afterward worked in a railway con> truction camp and as a sort of bouncer at a pub
 Savers was feet s 1-2 inches in height, and at his best he weighed only about 150 pounds. Although light for middleweight, he fought his way up to the top of the heavy weight heap, and took part in a bat tie for the worlds championship with the American giant, John C. Heenan. Tom fought his first ring engagement at the age of twenty-one, defeating Ably Couch This was in 1S49. His next battle was with Dan Collins, and Savers was again the victor. Tom then took on Jack Grant, veteran of many long combats, and whipped him in sixty-four rounds, lasting two and half hours. The Little Won der'' and the Little Giant" as Savers was then called. next challenged Nat Langham to fight for the middle weight championship. This time Say CTS was defeated, but not disgraced, and, as Langham refused to fight Tom again Savers became the recognized champion of the middleweights.
 Having cleaned up all the men in his division Savers, like Bob FYtzsirn- mons many years later, had to go for bigger game. Tn 1856 he was matched with Harry Paulson, a champion. Harry weighed 172 pounds, while Tom then tipped the beam at 148 pounds. Paulson fought like a demon, and at one time the odds were three to one again Tom, but the plucky middle weight eventually conquered after three hours and eight minutes of fight ing.
 Toms victory was a great surprise, as up to that time no 1niddleweight had ever had the temerity to fight top notch heavyweights. By defeating Aaron Jones, Savers gained more laurels, and in 1857 his packers were willing to put him against Bill Perry, the Tipton Slasher who then held the British heavyweight title.
 The Slasher weighed over 200 pounds and topped six feet by half an inch, giving him an advantage over Savers of four inches in height and over fifty pounds in weight. The sporting public scoffed at such an un- equal match, and there was little money bet on Tom. Savers slashed the 4slasher'' unmercifully, and at the end af the ninth round the cham

pion, was so far gone that his sec- onds tossed in the sponge.
 Savers defended the heavyweight title against Bill Benjamin, whom he defeated in three rounds, and Tom Paddock, who lasted twenty one rounds. In 1859 he whipped Bob Brettle and defeated Benjamin again.
 In 1860 Savers fought the last bat tie of his career, his opponent being John c. Heenan, an Irish American. The contest aroused international in- terest, since the worlds title was in- volved The "Benicia Boy" as Hee- nan was called was a giant in stature, standing six feet two and half inches. This fight ended in riot, and the packers of both men claimed the advantage. Heenan was almos blinded and Savers was badly bat tered, but neither man had any clear advantage. Savers retired from the ring after that. He travelled with q circus for a time, but was soon af- fiicted with tuberculosis and diabetes, from the effects of which he died just half century ago this year.
