Jack Curley, one OF the worlds lead
ing sport promoters and a man known
internationally as a doer of huge
things will soon be with us. Jack is
now advance man of the Sells.Floto
circus, an aggregation this year that
surpassed by a wide margin any SINH
lar travelling organization that ever
was thrown open to the public.
This may sound like broad state
ment, but Curley will vouch for it, and
to back up his claim points proudly to
the fact, in letter received from
him, that he never told anything but
truth in his life.
Just wait until you get chance to
see our circus this year and you will
swear that you never saw anything
that ever approached it," Jack writes,
showing that he is all swelled up over
his new job.
You see, we've got man at the
head OF this organization who isn't
afraid to spend world of money to
make 1t the best His name is Harry
Tammen and he is absolutely In con-
troll The circus Is mere pet of his
and not run as a money-making pro-
position. It's n millionaire plaything.
"To give you an idea of how much
he thinks OF his circus and his people,
he laid out an expenditure of $4,000
last winter for entire new equipment
This included new canvas, every yard
of 1t brand new. There inst rope
in the whole outfit, everything being
handled by steel cables. Not an
inch of the canvas ever touches the
ground as there is system Of giant
spools on which the canvas is wound
after the circus is thru in town.
Everything is done with donkey en-
gines and big steam tractors. so that
the lowly horse now Is used In the
street parades and for show purposes
under the canvas. The horse no long
er has to drag the heavy wagons. The
tractors do that"
Thus does Jack rave about his cir
Gus, but the main point with Jack Is
the big athletic feature that he is so
deeply interested in. The Sells'Floto
circus now has under contract two
worlds champions, Jess Willard, boss
boxer of them all, and an aggregation
Of ALL-STAR athletes, amongst them
Yusil Hussane, the Turkish Bone
Crusher, and one OF the foremost
, catch.as-catch-can wrestlers in the
world. Gotch who was with the show
Is laid up for repairs, and Hussane of
fers the same sum for anyone to stay
fifteen minutes with him on the mat
Also with the show are other famous
fellows OF mat and ring that the a,h
letlc bugs should be glad to see. Then
there are Jack Curley and Tom Jones
partners in the management Of VII
lard. who are whole show In them
selves.

owner of the big circus, is one of the
