Fistic History

ASK any old time fight fan to name the greatest heavyweight in ring history, and, if he be not blind ed by racial prejudice, the chances are that he will say, Peter Jackson" The last important bout of the great Australian colored boxer was fought twenty years ago tomorrow, March 22, 1898, when young Jim Jeffries, then a rising ring gladiator, knocked Peter cold in the third round But it was only a shadow of Peter Jack son that Jeff disposed of so easily. Robbed of his strength and speed by a too great indulgence in the good things of life, Peter was almost a wreck when he faced the brawny Californian.
 Greatest fighter of his time that he was, Peter never wore a champion ship crown upon his kinky dome. The following year Corbett met and de- feated John L. Sullivan, who had re- fused to fight Jackson. There is no doubt that Peter could have whip ped John l.. Jackson was the great master of ring genera1ship and what he did not know about the game was
 
 every man who would fight him, ex- | cept Corbett, and he was not at his best when he mixed with Gentle man Jim." He defeated Paddy Sla- win, another great Australian, in Lon don, and the English sports made a hero of Peter and ruined him with high living. When he came back to America he was not Peter Jackson at all, but magnificent ruin of once 1 supreme fighting machine.
 l The fortune he made in the ring and on the stage he squandered as 1 fast as he got it, and when he re- | turned to Australia to die he was 1 dead broke.
 For five years Jackson was manag- ed by "Parson' Davies, who took him on the road in Uncle Toms Cabin" and made a big hit. A monument | at Sydney, Australia, has been erect ed to the memory of the greatest heavyweight in ring history
 Jack McClelland defeated Andy Daley in ten rounds at Pittsburgh on March 21, 1903, fifteen years ago to- day. Both McClelland and Daley were great ightweights in their day, al- | though neither reached champion ship honors. The bout between Jack and Andy is chiefly remember ed by those who saw it because of an amusing incident. The referee was portIy individual with a bay window front. While trying to break the battlers he got in the way of one of DaleYs most earnest !; punches. The referee wasn't trained to assimilate a blow like that, which caught him full on his tummy, and
 he went down like load of bricks l It was a clean knockout, and for a
 minute or so the referee didn't stir
 Jack and Andy went right on fight
 ing without paying the least atten-
 ton to the stricken man, and it was not until the round had ended thai } the referee was picked up from hi: ! recumbent position and revived. Af ter that he was mighty careful tc = keep away. There had been some . squabbling about the referee before ? the bout, and there were those wht | hinted that Andy had it Tn TOT tht r official and did it "a-purpose.

Wrestling is even more profita- ble than boxing for the top notch7 CTS of the two sports, although there are no $1O0,0OO purses off cred for a mat bout. All the prom inent wrestlers have larger incomes than any of the boxers except Jess Willard.
