 6rbett is writing on John l..

 SDfore unpublished incidents In
 f6 of the great warrior. The kNeU( (nstalment will appear to- horrow;)
 My training camp programme was rather styenuous and it didn't take mo long td go from 1S5 to 1S0 pounds for my fight with John L. Sullivan. Meanwhile,l sport writers, coming to sec mo in my work outs, wrote stories declaring tnat l was ''aItogether too small 0 have a chance with Sullivan Nothing w0rried me more than those articles. N l feared that if my hackers read and were impressed by then, they might refuse to put up the rest of the $1O,Ooo side bet. And I knew if they "dropped'' me no one else would take a chance on me.
 My fears were confirmed two weeks afterward by @, visit from Phil Dwyer and Ned Kearney, two of my packers. They watched me closely during my workout After it was over, DWyer said to nc:
 Jim, you certainly look small
 But, I am deceiving in appear ance," I answered.
 And then it happened!
 Jim, what is your exact weight at this time?" f1atly asked DWyer.
 I hesitated to answer for a fraction of secondhand then I said:
 "Oh, about 200 pounds!' DWyer looked at Kearney and tearney returned the glance.
 TWO hundred pounds, you say" exclaimed Dwyer. By gosh, Jim, you don't look it. Where do you weigh yOurself?"
 "Oh", I replied, lin a butcher shop up the street."
 I feared to tell Dwyer and Kearney that I weighed myself on the gymnas- ium scales because I felt that they might want me to jump on--and my lack of beef would be discovered.
 I'm afraid those scales are wrong," declared Dwyer 1T don't think you weigh anywhere near 200 pounds. You had better come to Long Branch tonight and meet me at the hotel and I'll have you weighed on those scales there"
 After Dwyer and Kearney had gone I hunted up Billy Delaney and said:
 Its all off, Bill Dwyer and Kear- ney think I'm too light. I told them that l weighed 200 pounds and they want me to prove it tonight by being weighed in their presence
 Well, let's try to figure out some way to mako those fellows believe you

SOUTH AMERICAN SLAvS
AID AMERICAN RED CROSS
Dalmatian Emigrants Have Amass-
ed Fortunes in Their
New Homes.

Among the most pro-ally Of all tho
peoples of the newer parts of the
world are the Jugoslavs In South
America. These people live in settle
ments scattered all down the western
coast of South America. Most of them
came originally from Dalmatia. Re-
Gently in the town of Iquique, Chile,
where there is a thriving colony Of
Jugoslavs. ten men sent $3.50 to the
United States, to our American Red
Cross. All were members of the Jugo-
slav national defense.
The Jugoslav national defense is an
organization which Is active in furth-
ering the interests of the Jugoslavs
in South America, and has put forth
considerable efforts in support of tho
Jugoslavic cause in Europe. Large
sums of money have been raised to as
sist the southern Slavs of Europe in
their fight for liberation and indie
pendence. The society has branches
in every town where there is a Jugo-
slav colony of any size.
Many OF these Dalmatian emigrants
have become owners of saltpeter
mines and have amassed big fortunes.
In addition to giving their money
freely for war relief charities and
such purposes. some of the younger
men have gone back to Saloniki to
fight at the Serbian front, paying
their own passage money, which
amounts to about $500, back to their
native land.

peal for S. 600.

The Juvenile Protective Association
