DO this FIRST-YOU!

You know, and every physician
knows, that when any sickness has
passed, whether it be throat trouble,
organic disturbances, contagious dis
eases, or even a severe cold, a relapse
is feared, because sickness robs the
system of Natures resistance and
leaves it subject to lingering germs.
Drugs never build up worn-out
body-only food can do that, and the
FIRST thing to take after any sickness is
the concentrated, blood-makng oil
food in SCOTS Emulsion, which feeds
the tissues, benefits the blood and
strengthens both lungs and throat.
Physicians prescribe SCOTS Emul-
sion aftersickness. Nurses everywhere
advocate it. SCOTS is pure medicinal
food, without alcohol or drugs.

ception of Sam Langford of Boston.
1 have fought and boxed practically
every big fighter of note that has been
before the public during the past six
or eight years, from ex-Champion
johnson on down, and 1 must say that
Willard hit me with one of those
straight right-hand smashes to the
jaw, harder than any other man has
ever hit me, with the exception of Sam
Langford.
But Langford swings in landing his
big wollops and they have more the
effect of a sledge hammer. Why 1
could hear bells ringing for 20 min
utes when he hit me.
I trained and seconded Carl Morris
in his fight against Willard at Madison
Square Garden in New York two win
ters ago. Morris was fighting like
bulldog at that time and had beaten
and showed up every fighter he had
met during that winter and weighed
240 pounds, but Willard handled him
the same as if he were a mere child.
L think Willard is better and knows
more now than he did then.

Present Day Fighters an I'm
prOyement on Old Timers.
Jack CurIey Says Game Also
Has Grown Greater.
BY JACK CURIEY.

New York, March 22.-Not in mode
of living, not in intelligence. business
ability or fighting qualities, do the old
timers compare to the present day
ring men.
Go way back to the days of Tom
Hyer. John Morrissey, Joe Coburn,
Mike McCool, Tom Allen, Joe Goss,
Jimmy Elliott, Paddy Ryan or John
L. Sullivan, is there a man who could
stand up to Jess Willard? The Old
style, slow moving battlers would be
Missed off the stage today. They
used to so 20 and 80 rounds without
landing a blow
Where is there a fight crowd today
How often have you seen men exhaust
themselves after five or six rounds of
hurricane milling, and the moment
that they spar for wind, as they call
it, the crowd from gallery to ringside
will boot and plead to take them off.
Say what you like about the good old
days, but the man VINO makes his liV-
ing off of boxing today is superior to
the old timer from every point of
view.
Corbett Changed Ii.
Perhaps we owe a lot to James
]. COrbett, who was the first to revo-
lutionize the boxing game, not only
from the the viewpoint inside of the
ring, but his mode of living and habits
when outside of the roped enclosure.
He justly earned the nom du guerra
of Gentleman jim and every boxer
since that day has striven TO copy
after him, and, if possible, even to
improve upon his ways.
The old timer was forgiven for
everything Suppose Jess Willard on
March % would show up at Madison
Suare Garden BEFORE a packed house
in the same condition as John i. Sui
livan when he was similarly booked
against Charlie Mitchell? Everybody
knows the answer. Jess Willard would
be done forever while the old timer
simply patted John l.. on the back and
forgave him on the spot
In only one thing do 1 consider that
the old timers were superior as
sportsmen to the present day boxers
In most cases one defeat and only
when a real positive excuse could be
offered two defeats removed the gladi-
ator from the ring game Today box
ing is commercialized the same as all
does not lay aside his tights and
shoes, but continues in the game as
long as he proves a drawing card,
or in other words, as long as the
public pays to see him.
The Big Change.
The cause of this, however. is that
the game today is a form of enter
tainment the same as ball game, or,
to stretch it q bit, any theatrical per-
Torrance. In the old days the boxing
game, or to call it rightfuEy by its
old name, prize fighting" was a
gamble and the men appearing in
ring contests were obliged to com
mand substantial backing.
As a natural sequence, hackers van
iShed after a man lost match or
two. Today the manager does not go
to another manager with an offer to
wage $4,000 or more on his man.
The matter of betting never enters.
Matches are made today for per-
centages of gate receipts, or for guar
anteed purses. where the promoter
takes the chances on gate receipts to
reimburse him. The proof of the
pudding is in the eating, and the an
swer is that the conduct of the box
ing game of today is the right way

Willard is a better man than Mo-
ran. He has the advantage in weight,
height, reach and hitting power. Mo-
rams best asset is his head-work and
generalship. But take it from me
that Willard is no slough when it
comes to the same. He is not easily
excited and under fire is cool as a Gu
cumber.
Wizards weight will tell. Moran is
SO much shorter that in the clinches
if Willard uses his bulk of weight
properly he will have Moran worsted
in about rounds. 1 actually believe
he will stop Frank in about rounds
if he wants to and will go right in and
fight.
On the other hand, the harder Mo
ran tries, the sooner he will wear him
self out Willard has the height and
he towers up so far over the ordinary
man that you can scarcely hit him
good clean blow squarely on the jaw
He has about 10 inches the best of it
in reach and if he will simply keep
his arms extended he will land first
every time. He is actually the hardest

and that the old fashioned was the
wrong way.
Under the old regime, boxing was
killed and outlawed all over the
country and today is legalized and toll
Grated in nearly every state in the
union. The arenas are pitched in the
best halls and auditoriums, state au-
thorities are represented and partici-
pate in the gate receipts, as against
sheriffs chasing from county to coun-
ty. The best people in the communi :
ties patrOnize the boxing shows.
How would the old timers feel il

boxing is conducted today? Think it

FIGHTERS HEART FAILED.

Andrew Crowley's Death Caused by
Over Exertion-MaIoneE Xonerated.
Philadelphia, Pa, March 22.-Acute
dilation of the heart caused the death
of Andrew Crowley, the local feather
weight boxer. who collapsed in the
third round of a bout with Michael
Malone here last Friday night and
died a few minutes later. according to
the verdict of the coroner's jury at the
inquest.
The coroner's physician stated that
in his opinion the heart condition was
brought on as the result of exhaus-
ton due to exertion in the exhibition,
rather than by blows. All the wit
nesses described the bout as a tame
one and declared that neither fighter
had struck a hard blow. Malone was
exonerated.

GoTCH READY FOR sTECHER.
Champion Says He Is as Good Now as
He Ever Was

Omaha, Neb., March 22.-That
Frank Gotch, retired wrestling cham
pion of the world, finally has decided
he will be able to stage a successful
comeback that he is in condition for
an encounter with the sensational Joe
Stecher, and that he is coming to
Omaha the latter part of this month
or the first of April for a conference
relative to the staging of the worlds
championship event with Stecher in
Omaha on Labor day, are some facts
that reached Omaha from the Pacific
coast in a letter addressed to Farmer
Burns from Gotch himself
Gotch wrote the farmer that he was
in splendid shape-"as good as ever"
and would be ready to do battle with
anybody with but little more training.

There are also those who believe
the champion will try to get through
with as little fighting as possible and
that an effort will be made to make
the match a draw SO that a clean up
finish fight can be staged later on
But there is little grounds for such a
superstition. If Willard even out
points Moran by shade, as he will
have to try to do, finish fight with
the Pittsburger would not be as big a
drawing card as one with a new OPP
pOnent.
