Imprisoned Hunter Has
Battle With Wildcat;
Caught Under Tree

Los Angeles, Cal, Feb. 4.-Im-
prisoned all night under a fallen
tree, just beyond the reach of a big,
snarling, maddened wildcat caught
by one foot in a small trap, was the
experience of Serge Kovaness, a
Russian, who was found almost
dead in a lonely spot in the Santa
Monica mountains. When rescued
by searching party from the fish
ing village north of Santa Monica
where he lives, Kovaness was near
~ crazed by his hours of terror.
Kovaness set trap for a wildcat
early in the week and went to look
at it. There was a big cat in it. AS
Kovaness approached a gust of wind
uprooted n tree, which in falling
caught the Russian and pinned him
to the ground. He was just beyond
the claws of the struggling cat
which was also held by u part of
the same branch. This prevented
the animal from using its full
strength.
All night long Kovaness lay on
the ground uninjured except for
some bruises, but unable to free
himself. Shortly before the search
ers arrived the wildcat died from
loss of blood which flowed from the
imprisoned foot that was almost cut
off in its struggles.

SELECT PALLBEARERS FOR
JOHN L. SULLIVAN FUNERALS;
MANY PAY LAST TRIBUTE

Boston, Feb. 4.-Theodore Roose-
Welt has been asked to be one of the
honorary pallbearers at the funeral
of John L. Sullivan, Wednesday
morning, at st. Paul's Catholic
Church, in RoXbury.
The former President and Sullivan
had been warm friends for many
years. The old fighter had often said
that the only statesman who carried
a punch in national affairs was I. r.
There has been quite a large corre-
spondence between the two fighters
fighters of different types and diff
ferent aims.
Funeral Plans Incomplete
While plans for the funeral were
being made, the body was brought
from the Sullivan farm in Abingdon,
to the home of his sister, Mrs. Annie
e. Lennin, in the RoXbury district.
Last night and to-day a small army
of friends passed through the parlor
of the Lennin home to gaze for the
last time on the features of the old
fighter.
A search of this city and its su-
burbs, failed to reveal a casket large
enough to hold the stalwart body of
the former champion and special
one was ordered from New York.
The funeral promises to be marked
with the impressive solemnity which
comes from great assemblage of
mourners. Many of the leading
sporting men of the country, some of
them men who had Travelled equal

he was in his prime, are on their way
from distant points to be present at
the final rites.
Sixteen PalIbearers
Full details of the funeral have
not yet been arranged. There will be
eight pallbearers and eight honorary
pallbearers.
Names already on these lists are
Mayor Curley, Captain James P.
Sullivan, of the police department.;

van. of Syracuse, N. Y, noted old
time pugilist; William Hogarty, a
south end barber, to sit in whose
chair John L. travelled from Abing-
ton two or three times a week; John
Mahoney and Edward Curran, both
of RoXbury, friends of John L. from
boyhood.
The little farm community at West
Abingdon, into which John l.. had
entered almost a dozen years ago to
lead the simple life in his declining
years and toe win company of new
friends, is to send a big delegation
to the funeral.
They are to send an enormous
floral Offering inscribed From John
l.. IS Farmer Neighbors of West Abb
ington." Many other floral tributes
have begun to arrive and the bier
a huge bank of flowers.
The funeral service will be high

LIQUOR BRINGS DOWNFALL
TO WORLDS REAL FIGHTER;
SULLIVAN'S OWN STORY

Loan. Sullivan was never taught
how to box. He took to fighting
naturally.
Fights Past and Present
1t was only few years ago that
John L. Sullivan wrote as follows
about the boxing game drawing
comparison between the bouts of his
time and those of the present:
Boxing has been revoluntionized
during the last twenty-five or
thirty years, and compared to fight
ing in the old days-the S0's-it is
mere child's play. 1 do not say
the kind, but from earnest observa-
tions in my travels about the coun-
try since / quit the ring in 1898.
held the title under the>-London
prize ring rules and know whereof
l speak when / say, that fighting
under the old cond.sions was a real
test of a mans ability and courage.
1T was brutal in many respects
and that is one reason 1 advocated
the use of big gloves. I toured the
country and offered 1000 to any
man 1 failed to stop in fourteen
rounds. 1t did much to introduce
the big gloves all over the country
and, in my opinion, was really the
beginning of the new era in box
ing.
Warns Promoters
There is one thing the promoters
should do and that is call a halt
on those boxers who cover up for
two and half minutes and fight
thirty seconds of round. They are
neither fighters nor boxers. The
boxers of to-day, that is most of
them, learn to swing wild and cover
up. That is why so many have
'caulifiower ears
The white hopes seem devoid of
any real fighting ability. The trou-
BILE is they do not get the proper
schooling AS soon as they can
stand the gaff bit their managers
rush them into print and do the
s. agent stunt. The public pays
the price and then roasts the poor
dupes and calls them dubs. 1t is
too much financial inducement and
too little knowledge of fighting that
gives us so many lemons among
the hopes. There ar plenty of big,
strong men, but they need to be
properly groomed before being sent
out as champions"

Abingdon, Mass, Feb. 4.-John l..
Sullivan was one of the most inter-
esting figures of prize ring renown.
As was his wish, he died with his
shoes on. He was about to leave
his house Saturday to pay visit to
Boston to see his old friend, Cap
tain James p. Sullivan, of the Bos-
ton Police Department, when he re-
ceived his final knockout.
Hardly had the news of the pass
ing of one of Americas greatest fis-
tic champions been flashed broad
cast, than messages of sympathy be-
san pouring into town from men
i'll all walks of life. Sullivan, in his
prime, was a popular idol and he
never entirely lost his hold on the
public. This was due not only to
the success of his prize fighting
days, but to his rugged battle later
against his old easygoing habits.
Liquor Worst Enemy
John L." always attributed his
loss of the American championship
to James j. Corbett by q knockout
in New Orleans, September Z, 1892,
to liquor. He has made a fortune in
the prize ring and had spent it when
his friends rendered him q benefit
concert in Boston to put him on his
feet again. The money obtained
from this venture went also, accord
ing to his ruling habit, and then
Sullivan's old fighting spirit reas-
serted itself and he announced that
he had entered the list against John
Barleycorn for fight to the finish.
The public regarded this chal-
lenge with interest, but John L."
battled with John Barleycorn us he
had with all his opponents. He
forced the fighting, as it were. He
proclaimed his defiance of drink
from platforms throughout the
country and held himself up to the
youth as a horrible example of what
drink would do. He never let up
in his aggressive fight against
liquor, and frequently left his farm
here for long temperance speaking
tours.
He was SO years of age when he
was counted out. He had often ex-
pressed regret that he was too old
to go with the boys overseas, but
he was not too old to do his bit. He
never declined an invitation to-
speak at fiagraising or recruiting
rally or in behalf of the Liberty
