NE night at a Chicago boxing
show in 1900 a tall. thin young
man watched with almost

Foroes, then regarded as one Of the

TO tell his friends that he thought
ranger was one of the greatest fight

thrown into a ring.
Three years later that same young
man had laid the foundation for a fine
fortune because he bet consistently
ana without reserve on this same
Aanger. He backed him every time he
started, he took every bet offered
against the Italiau-and won almost as
often as he bet.
The mans name is Mont Tennes and
today he has the reputation Of being

Yanger. with that knockout puncb

chance to accumulate money. Tennes

within him. saw the chance and ac-
cepted II, like the true gambler

Tennes had Yanger figured out to
his own satisfaction and the results he
got from following his line Of reason

judgment.

not stand the hammerinE he gives

beat the world and I'll bet on it."
And he did. Every time rangers
name was hoisted as a star on some
boxing card Tennes was right there
with a good sized bankrou, and every
time somebody peeped about wanting
to bet on rangers opponent Mont told
MN surely to put up the COIN Some
Of the bets he accepted looked impos-
sible to others But Tennes accepted
them and usually got away with them.
He took big odds and seldom offered
any He always shaded the price
where he could.
Public Wanted Him Licked.
He played on the publics dislike Of

liked the boy personally and liked his

to see Yanger licked. That was where
Tennes had the shade. His blood was
always cool. which was more than
cOSld be said Of some of the men who
bet sentimentally against Yanger.
Tennes didn't bother with the other
fighters and didn't care to bet on them
But he surely was Yanger- crazy and
never overlooked a chance to wager on
the little dark fellows chance.
They battled like tigers in those
days and there never was any hints Of
taking. Decisions were given at the
end OF six rounds by the referee and
there wasn't the clubbing and wrang-
ling over winners and losers that the
present day shows.
