they are any better than McGovern

mean as he compared to men of
his size as they compare to men Of
their size. He stood out all alone.
How he could fight!
McGovern's ''Breather."
II used to work behind Terry in all
his important fights" Sam continued.
Did You ever hear how we used to
give him a little 'breather' before he
went into the ring?
We'll, in his earlier bouts I noticed
that when McGovern came back to his
corner after the first round he was
always breathing heavily and appsr-
emily with great difficulty. His chest
would heave convulsiveiy, and his
breath would come gaspingly. After
a few rounds he would breathe easily.
Il tried to figure the reason Tor
that, and I hit upon the answer
through watching the trainers work
with some race horses In which was
interested at the time. i noticed that
they always galloped horse a short
distance before a race to loosen up
It's breathing apparatus.
That gave me an idea about Terry.
Before a bout sent Danny Dougherty
In to McGovern's dressing-room and
they put on the boxing gloves and
boxed three fast rounds. McGovern's
difficulty in breathing was not APP
parent In the regular bout.
After that someone always worked
with him in his dressing room. Thus
he had several rounds under his belt
before he went into the ring, and II
did him a world Of good. e..
McGovern's Biggest Purse.
IT see Wilson and Downey got
$4,000 and s27,500, respectively, for
that bout of theirs in Jersey City,"
Sam went on. That strikes me az q
lot of money for men of their class,
especially when you think of the
purses boys like McGovern got in the
old days. I-a-
"our biggest purse was about s1s.-
900, which we got out OF the fight with
Frank Erne In 80. But both McGov-
crn and myself always bet plenty of
money on the result. The time he
could beg and borrow. We would have
been flattened out IL McGov.
ern had lost that fight.
"As recall II. we got about 5000
out Of the fight with Young Corbett at
Hartford, when McGovern was beaten.
We went to San Francisco in 1901,
before the Corbett fight, and II was on
that occasion that McGovern met Au.
relic Herrera, the Mexican, after
heating Oscar Gardner.
"Baggeriy. the sporting editor Of
the Bulletin, In San Francisco, called
me up one night and told me that Au-
relio's friends from down the State
were In his office and wanted to make
n match. When went over there I
found them with their pockets full OF
gold money that they wanted to bet
on the Mexican.
I've never seen 20 much gold money
before or since. They thought Her.
rera could beat any man anywhere
near his weight in the world.

new Year
Our Being Not Transitory, but
an Eternal Possession.
Time Has Very Little to Do With the
Fundamental Things Of Our
Existence.

@ |lEIE serious thing Is. not that
IlESAklII life is or may be short, but
I&lIsN that 1t may be wasted or
ISNNMSA misused-indeed is likely
lN.N1 to be SO In most cases.
There are few men in whom
there Is not something of the Stacker
and yet there Is so much to do! Others
are not slackers. but only because they
have no sense of responsibility, and
are conscious Of no obligation. To
these the sudden realization that time
Is passing swiftly by comes with ter
rifyins effect-when 1t comes ut all.
1t was these that the Psalmist had In
mind when he wrote:
Yet they think that their houses
shall continue forever: and that their
dwelling places shall endure from gen.
GRAFTON to generation; and they call
their lands after their own Names"
So 1t is harder to live nObly and
bravely than 1t is to die gallantly in
defense OF righteous cause at the
call Of country. This Is. Of course. in
no way surprising. Yet the obligation
Is the same In both cases, for in both
1t Is u question Of being loyal 10 duty,
sensitive to the prOmptinSs of what
IL best In human nature. II time Is
short the wise thing is. NOT, as the Ro-
man poet suggested, to use 1t reck-
ieSsly and to the utmost In mere EN-.
JOyment. but to build 1t into the fu.
.ure self which is being realized with
the passage Of each day. Life thus
used is not transitory. but rather an
eternal possession. something of which
4 man cannot he deprived. And that,
"f course. is the moral OF New Years
day. 1t is an old moral. and yet ever
new-new every morning. Indeed.
practically the whole of religion. as
applied to daily life, Is summed up
In 1t. For religion. even more. than
culture. Is ''the study Of perfection. "
ami 1t speaks OF. and was meant TO
snrther. the progress from imperfec.
zion to- perfection.
He who has been made perfect in
short time" has. as has been seen,
fulfilled long time" "And an I'm.
p"tted life is old age" On the other
rand. the man who dies in wicketlness
les In his youth even though he live
ar beyond the scriptural term, Time
therefore,, has very little to do with
lie fundamental things of life.
