Smith Randall of this city is without
doubt the only man who ever slid
down the east side of Mount Coburn.
in Somerset county, and lived to tell
Of the experience. At one time Mr..
Randall was engaged in scaling a lot
Of timber in the vicinity Of Parlin
pond, and one day he went over the
top Of Coburn Mountain on snowshoes.
After he had gone a short distance
down the side, he found that he was
unable to go back the way he had
come. and an almost sheer drop lay
before him. He could not see the bot
tom. for the lower part Of the drop
slanted inward, but as he could not
so back, and no-one knew where he
was. he finally sat down on the heels
Of his snow-shoes, let go all holds. and
shot down the steep slide at a terrific
rate Of speed. For some distance he
slid, gaining momentum as he went,
and all at once shot over the edge Of
a drop and went down for q distance
which has been variously estimated by
guides and woodsmen as being from
80 to 125 feet, sheer drop. He fortu-
nately landed right side up, and shot
along on his snow-shoes for 100 yards
or so. and got up, unhurt. He went
back and looked up at the drop he had
just made, and thanked his stars for
still being alive, and it is very doubt
full if anyone else ever will do that
stunt and get away with it. The snow
was very deep, as it was the latter
part of the winter, but If he had turn
ed over during the drop he would have
been smothered before long, as no-one
had any idea as to where he was at
the time.

KNOCKOUT FIGHTER
 LOOMS UP IN RING
Foreign Countries Laughing at Our
 No Decision Bouts.

When a great knockout fighter looms up in the ring, he goes to the front like flash. The fstic fans de- sire real results with a knockout or g. decisive victory, no draws.
 There has of late been far too much pussey footing within the ropes, in this age of draws and no-decisions.
 The greatest handicap in boxing at present is the rule against ring yer- diets, enforced by the many commis- sions that control the sport in the va rious states of the Union. This silly illogical rule has done more to de- teriorate the manly art and encour- age faking and stalling, than any oth- CT law enacted by the powers that control the pugilistic game.
 It has made boxing a perfect farce and burlesque in this land of the free and the home of the brave. The fol- lowers of hstania in England, Aus traIia, France and other countries are simply laughing at our foolish, ridi- culous, no-decision methods.
 Every honest lover of the manly art want just, competent verdicts, without any more barley, ballyhooing and. milk and water arguments. It's high time for the boxing commissions to wake mp and revoke their very ob- 5ectionable no- decision rule.
 We have only to look over the bat ting records of such fistic idols as John L. Sullivan. Bob Fitzsimmons, Jim Jeffries, Stanley Ketchel, Terry MacGovern and other great fighters of the past, to realize how they gain ed great fame and glory within the ring.
 It was SulIivan's wonderful tour of the United States, lasting nine months In 1883. in which he knocked out some fifty opponents into a cooked hat, that made him the most famous cham pion of modern times
 It was Bob Fitzsimmons' knockouts of Jack Dempsey, Peter Maher, Jim Fall. Dan Creedon, Jim Corbett, Gus Ruhlin, Tom Sharkey and others that established him as one of the marvels of pugilism
 It was Jim JefEries' putting away for the count. of Fitzsimmons, Ruhlin. Corbett and others, that made him a famous worlds champion.
 Stanley Ketchel likewise became an idol by knocking out the twin Su1lf- vans 01Ifl<e and Jack), Billy Papke, Joe Thomas. Ehifadelpbta Jaet O.
