 Later Mccoy met George Gunther and, although. I understand he was gradually losing his former quickness. he showed to me that night as per feet a fighting form as l ever have seen. His boxing was science and he gave Gunther quite bad beating.
 Sullivan was a simple proposition. Scarcely had we squared off in the center of the ring I perceived that he was very nervous and his thoughts were not centered on his work. broke through his guard immediately and shook him with a right-hand smash.
 The second round was barely start cd when I feinted with my left and as he changed his guard. crossed heavily with my right. The blow struck him squarely on the point of the chin, lifted him off his feet, and landed him on his head. It required some time to bring him back to con- seriousness.

 Sullivan and I were both invited to a banquet after the fight. but he did not appear. He would have been made richer by several thousand francs had he attended, for it was the intention to collect a sum.

GREAT BATTLE SCHEDULED
"Sigger HIr' Section All Het Up Over Mondays Game Between AL pineS and Chcycnnes.

Great excitement prevails in the ''Niggrr tiill' section of the city, over in" coming baseball game next Monday afternoon at Walnut Hill Park. between the Alpines and the Cheyennes. The contest is sched- uled to start at 2 o'clock, but when it will finish if ever. is a matter of conjecture. Reports from the rival camps indicate that both teams are primed and in fit condition for a, fast battle. Needless to say. there is bcaucoup confidence for victory. The Alpines. are an aggregation of old timers once numbered among the best baseball pllyer3 Tn the city Whether or not. Father Time has dimmed their batting eyes or ability to knock down sizzling drives re- mains to be seen.
 The team is headed by that crafty old general. George O'Brien. Time was when George held his place with the top notch baseball players in this section. He still ayers that he has enough left to show the youngsters up. Manager O'Brien claims to have put across a great piece of baseball strategy. in inducing Jimmy Hayes to again don a uniform for the AL pines. Hayes, years ago, played in the big time with p club somewhere in New York. Just what ever kept him out of the big show has not been satisfactorily determined. "Buttsy'' Smith, Maud Apple gren, Red" Meskill, Georgie Drout and Billy Guenther are some of the other celebrities to statr the game with the oldtimers. Billy Spurvey will heal the shy Ann's".

 Harry Lowis was bitterly disap- pointed when he lost tho referees de- clsion in our bout. My personal opin- ion Is that l barely won. Had the fight been closer I am sure it would have been called a draw. Tho Ameri- cans career came to a sad end short 1y afterward when he was permanent ly injured in a taxicab accident and forced to give up the ring.
 1 learned another lesson from my experience with Lewis. l had enter ed tho ring sadly out of condition be- cause, confess with iblushes, I had believed I would be able to outboX a rushing fighter like Lewis with small trouble. Descamps lectured me on tho necessity of making every bout hard one and profited by it.

 The negro George Gunther. brought things to a climax when he offered to take the place of Sullivan. Sullivan assented to conditions as originally laid down and we took the ring as a band played.

 Judge Showaltor heard many com plaints that prices had not gon" down here as rapidly as in other com munitics; SO he appointed a com mission. headed by former Congress- man Mansfield NJ Neelcy. to inves- tigato and report its findings to the next Grand Jury for action
 The commission took office, duly organized and advertised public hear ings at the court house It com prsed three members When these members would go along the street to and from the court house many persons would verbally complain ahout high prices here and there. But when they were advised to at tend the public hearings and make formal complaints. so the commis- sion would have something to work on. they refused point-blank That was something for the commission to do. they thought
 Only one single, solitary citizen has had the nerve to file a high price complaint with the commission since il was appointed two or three weeks ago.
