Beneath the twinkling stars er-

For me there was a cheerful scene,
While wandering thru the pastures

While IN my shepherds ears arrayed.
IN Palestine my harp I played,
And from the music. catch sweet
strains.
Resembling Ger Judean plains.
I've strolled along the mountain
streams,
Beneath FAIR Luna's smiling beams.
Or gathered flowers thru the day.
That always bloom in early May.
I've seen the robin and the wren,
When Fitting thru the wooded glen
And other birds whose plumage shines
While singing in the swaying pines
But now those happy times are gone,
And lonely days are drifting on.
In Babylon so far away.
We think Of home land ev'ry day.
We sat down by the river side,
And in our loneliness we erred,
When we remembered Zions songs,
And the Babylonian wrongs.
But here our Jewish captive band.
Could sing no songs in this strange
land,
And. waiting in the ev'ning breeze.
Ne hung our harps on willow trees.

BURY CHAMPIONSHIP
TITLE WITH SULLIVAN

NEW YORK, March 1.-THE title
Of American heavyweight champion
under London prize ring rules was
buried with John l. Sullivan.
There has been many a dispute
as 20 whether or not Sullivan ever
established a clear claim 10 the
worlds championship at bare
knuckle fighting. but that he vas
the indicated bare-knuckle cham
pion Of America and the last cham
pion az this style of lighting is a
certainty.
John LIS crown under London
prize ring rules did not pass 20 Jim
CorDett when they met at New Or
leans i'm 1892. for the battle was the
first great heavyweight fight with
gloves-Slllivan's first and last
What Corbett won was the Ameri-
can heavyweight championship un-
der the Marquis of Queensberry
rules. ana as there was no prom.-
nent contender aside from Corbett
for the worlds title ne was general
~ acknowledged as the worlds
champion.
AS 10 the disputes over S~ullivan's
rank as heavyweight champion Of
the world under the old rules il ap-
pears that his claims TO the title
were stronger than those Of Charley
Mitchell. his English rival. and
though the last great bare knuckle
fight Of an international nature was
between sullivan and Mitchell at
Chantilly, France. in 1888, and re-
n.n g. - g.. On --rr-Hn CrT
Iivan's superiority was conceded by
a large majority. In short, Sullivan
had as good a claim to the worlds
heavyweight championship under
the old rules as any fighter in the
history of bare Enuckle battling.
His victory over Paddy Ryan IN
1852 gave him unquestioned pres
tige.
~SulIivan's greatest battle was
fought IN Richburg, Miss, I'm 1889
against Jake Kilrain. 1t went 20
rounds and Kilrain's seconds tossed
the sponge into the ring when their
man failed TO respond 10 the call 20
toe the mark.
Those who recorded that fight
claim that &c was The toughest battle
ever staged under the old rules.
Both men committed many fouls.
but the referee did not pay any at
teution TO fouling started by Kilrain,
because Sullivan seemed TO be win
ming. Later. when Sullivan COM
mitted fouls. nothing could be said.
SuIivau's one great regret was the
fact that he introduced fighting with
gloves an America and lost his first
important battle with the mittens.

from the tactics of his day as a field
general, but he has the ability TO
adapt himself 10 conditions. and he
pulled off a smart deal when h
signed Johnny Evers.
With Evers as his first lieutenant,
and his own experience inc square
jawed policies behind the Red SoX.
the Hub aggregation is sure 20 be
a factor in the American league race
this year.
IL vas at least partially due TO
Evers presence in the lineup hat
the Boston Braves fought their way
TO a pennant in 1914, and what
Johnny may lack as a player he will
make up as a strategist.
As for Barrow-he has been as
sociated with baseball for the last
% years. He broke in as a mana
ger at Wheeling in 1895. and lter
managed the Paterson, Toronto. De-
troit, Montreal and Indianapolis
clubs, and hiS regime as president
of the International league. and
what he did for the big Eastern
minor is too well known to recount
here. He is one of the very few
managers whose playing experience
has been limited, yet who had the
ability to make good as a field gen
