Natures Unchanqinu Way

Outstanding ability is the reward
of using the power one has. The
best athlete in the world will lose
power by hanging around. Resistance
is the response of nature to testings.
Difficulties are never made easy by
giving up. Nature demands that men
gain strength by using strength. Turn
what you have to account and nature
will add to your store with interest.
The more ySu love the alrger capacity
you have to love. The more you think
the keener your thinking ability be-
comes. The harder and more sanely
you work the more you are able to-.
There's no secret about it. It's just
natures way Of saying ito him that
hath shall be given" And more than
that. If you want anything from ma
ture you must bestir yourself and get
it. Nature is not a grudging giyer. but
she makes men earn all they get.

FAST BOUTS SET FOR
SH|DE PARK TONIGHT
Johnny Dundee Takes on Geo.
CLANCY, While Jackson Meets
Jimmy Hanlon.

Philadelphia. Pa, July 1s.--Six of
the worlds greatest lightweights will
be on display at Shibe Park, Philadel-
phia. tonight, when the second all-star
open air show of the season will be
staged. Willie Jackson. Johnny Dun
dee, George Clancy and Jimmy Han
Ion will be seen in action, while Ben
ny Leonard and Lew Tender will be
right there at the old ringside.
Willie Jackson will appear against
Jimmy Hanlon, that cyclonic Western
battler. the nearest approach to a
Rattling Nelson since the famous
Dane was absorbing punches and fir
ing smashes at the opposition when
they had punched themselves out.
Dundee meets CLANCY. They have
met twice before in this city end the
margin was so close that the winner
yet Is undecided.
Willie Jackson is the only boxer who
ever sent Lew Tender to the floor for
two visits. This happened At Shlbe
Park two years ago, In the same rine
where Leonard Knocked out Johnny
Kilbane In 1917. Jackson fought Tend
Ter sensational eight-round battle Q
year ago and it was another one o
those doubtful affairs In which thers
was a wide difference of opinion as q
the winner.
Johnny Dundee is the most active
battler In the lightweight division
He has fought Leonard five tirnei
and never came near hitting the can
vas In fact, he was given the de
cision in three of those battles. Dun
dee is the most popular battlcr in ts'
game for he never has been guilty o
stalling and has been the king o
action during his stay in the ring.
As for George CLANCY. his record
only too well known 10 Quaker Cit!
fans. He Is not a boxer. George is
wallopinp walloper. He smiles at IN
boxers and fights the sluggers. BY tn
way, CLANCY is the only man. asid
from Jackson, who sent Tender &
the floor and almost had him out. Thi
happened at the National a few year
ago, when Tender and CLANCY met II
their first fight.
Jimmy Ianlon, the fourth man il
the double windup, never has beei
seen in Philadelphia. He has made
reputation as slugger and man o
action i'm the West In his Easteri
