Cowler Showed up We'll.

CoWler showed up "ell.
 NEW YORK, July 28.-Jim Corbet tt introduced his Irish heavyweight , Tom Cowler, to 5000 fight fans at St Nicholas rink tonight. The refe- rec, Billy Roche, introduced Tom to Gunboat
 After shaking hands the giants whaled away at each other for ten rounds, with the Gunner getting a slight shade at the end.
 Although defeated, the big Irish man left the ring hero. It was his first fight, in this country, and he was nervous and bit too cautious. Tom would undoubtedly have made better showing but for the fact that in a clinch, his left eye came in contact with the Gunboat's head, opening bad cut just below the eyelash in the fourth round.
 Cowler knew little about infighting and for eight rounds did no effective work at close quarters. In the ninth, however, under instructions from Corbett, he began jabbing both hands hard to the body in every clinch, In the tenth especially he showed ability to punch the Gunboat in the midsection. As result the Gun ner was tired at the last bell.
 The Gunboats famous right-hand knockout punch was sadly missing. It was either short or landed d too high to do any harm. He had no trouble, however, landing a long left hook to the jaw and Cowler h nd no guard for the Gunner's right upper cut With another fight or two un der belt, Cowler should develop into a pretty fair man.
 Cowler weighed 205 pounds and Smith 1S2.

 But if my boy has got to drink and smoke and swear and dissipate in order to be manly" I'm willing to have him run the risk of being called sissy
 I don't think anybody will say that am a sissy, and yet I've gone through life and kept pretty clean of mouth and clean of body. If ] hadn't kept away from whisky and cigarettes and vice I wouldn't be champion of the world today.
 And when l say l am for equal suffrage maybe some of the men will think that 1t isn't such sissy business after all.

were sick.
The answer came back slowly by
mail, to find Blossy ON the verge of
a nervous collapse, under the care Of
all the women In the house.
That letter Blossy never showed to
Brother Abe, nor to any one else.
Neither did she treasure 1t In the SEN
timental trunk beneath the attic caves.
The letter ran:
