Joe WolcoH Made Sensational Debut
 Into the Prize Ring
Fly JAMES J. coRBETr

Tom O'Rourke opines that no fistic gladiator made a debut more spectacu- lar than that of Joe Wolcott
 They used to put on periodical anna teur tournaments in Boston 30 years or so ago." explained O'Rourke. 'As is thescase with most amateur affairs, there was always a lot of action and lot of fight at those tournaments, and I a- ways aimed tc take them in.
 "I was up at one of the tournaments one night when l saw a midget negro climb into the ring. He was introduced as Joe Wolcott, 2l years of age i it. 1A in. tall, and weighed 130 pounds. Wolcott was sent against some white boy of his own weight, who had quite q reputation at the time, and Joe polished him off with two or three punches.
 WON SEVERAL TITLES
 That gave Joe one leg on the light weight championship. He took on an other youngster in the semifinais whipped him almost as easily as he had the first, and then won the champion ship by beating up a rough tough white boy in the finals.
 Joe didn't seem to be content with winning one division title and announced that he would like to battle some of the heavier boys in the middleweight division. This wish was granted and Joe whipped two middleweights, then finished up the boxing show by beating a heavyweight.
 "Just about that time everybody in the crowd began asking questions concern ing the won lerful negro, but no one knew much about him beyond the fact that he was a cook on a boat which made the run between Barbadoes and Boston. Even while the crowd was commenting on the hurricane showing of Wolcott, the tireless negro allowed that he would do a little wrestling, jumped on the mat, took on a white gladiator who out weighed him 40 pounds, and after it. tie while pinned the other fellows shoul- ders to the mat.
 'rll say that Wolcott, by winning the lightweight middleweight and heavy weight championships and the wrestling championship aM in one amateur tourna- ment. certainly accomplished the spec tacular. And I have found no one in the years since then who disagreed win me in this statement.
 ENTERS PRO RING
 ''I got hold of Wolcott after the tour nament was over and told him I thought he could make big success in the pro- fessional prize ring. Wolcott told ms that if I thought so, it must be true, and he'd be very glad to take chance on my judgment So he quit his Jop as a cook and came under my teaching. m a little while l turned him loose and the world knows what happened afterward'
 q have seen the greatest fighters that have flashed along the pugilistic horizon for more thar 40 years. l have man aged oi. trained or instructed many Of the best of them And many have been mar yels. But I feel that for his heigh. and weight Wolcott was the greatest oi them all Wolcott. who rarely ,beamea beyond TAO, even at his best, and wao never was more than q pigny Tn sl1e' whipped every great man in hls own or vision in the next division and went 'e- yond and beat up heavywelghts.
 When you speak of wonder of won ders, you can't overlook the 'Barbadoes Demon.

BURTON BOY SCOUTS

One Of the livcliest organiza-
tons at Burton at the present
time seems to be the Boy Scouts.
Some weeks ago ten or twelve
boys got to gether and decided
they wanted a Burton troup. They
elected Harold Y. Fretz as acting
scout master until the proper or
ganization could be arranged to
have him duly appointed. A.
Smith gave substantial support
aud help to the movement.
This organization has grown to
30 loyal scouts. To properly af-
filiatc these with the national or
ganization a troop committee was
selected consisteing Of 7. S. Fretz
chairman, A. Smith, Coy Meri-
deth, p. Monroe Smock and A..
B. Cook. Harold Fretz has been
appointed scout master and David
Cook assistant scout master, and
the members Of the committee
are supposed to assist whenever
their help is needed.
On Friday, March 25 the mem
bers Of the troop committee met
with the boys and added some
thing to their entertainment. The
boys conducted themselves admir-
ably. About Is received their
tenderfoot" badges, after which
the boys entertained the commit
tee with some of their boyish
stunts.
Different members of the com
mittee We're afterwards heard to
declare that they had a most en-
loyable time, and it is hoped the
boys felt the same way about it,.
These same scouts not only did
their "bit" but had a good strong
part at the side walk building bee
at Burton. The scout headquart-
ers are iii the basement of the
Baptist church. This has been
pleasantly lighted and well heat
ed for the use of the boys. Their
regular meeting time is Friday
night.
