Long ago Old Man Coyote learned

he learned that while he who ven

nothing; but he who is overbold may
lose everything. 50. though Old Man
Coyote is very bold at times. he is
never reckless: he makes sure that
he hasn't overlooked anything At

That the chances may be in his "a

no one to see him. Then he crept

Hardly WAS he out Of sigh. when
Farmer Browns Boy and Farmer

Browns Boy picked up the basket

When the door was opened Bowser

Farmer Browns Boy as he put the

"Why. 1t is there, for I put it in

Fourteen frcmcn were overcome bv

that drove 500 persons to the street
from two tenement houses. A siX-story
lott building in Myrtle Avenue, between
Throop and Sumner avenues, Brooklyn,
was destroyed. Two watchmcn, Abra-
ham Epstein and Jacob Cohen, who slept
in the building, we're rescued.
The watchmcn were found after a
risky search of the burning building by
four fire companies. They were asleep
on the fourth floor Both were in q
state of partial asphyxiaton. The fire
damage is estimated at $4,000.
During progress of the blaze four
teen frcmen, overcome by smoke, were
treated by DR.. Lionello of Holy Name
Hospital Toncnents adjoining the loft
building on either side were evacuated
on police order. Excitement prevailed
in the ncighborhood for more than two
hours.

TATE TUCKS
TUT To SLEEP
IN 4 ROUNDS

TOLEDO, Ohio, Nov. 2S.-Big Bill
Tate of Chicago, handed Sir Tut"
Jackson OF Washington Court House,
Ohio, an awful walloping here last
night in the fourth round of their
scheduled twelye-round fight. Tut
started out like house a-fre landing
on Tate at will in the first three
rounds, to which Tate offered little
resistance. But in the fourth round
fans were facing new Tate. The big
fellow simply waited Tor Tut to lower
his guard and this the latter did, after
which it was all over but the shouting.
Tate Floors Tut
In the third round Tate sent sew
eral telling blows to the stomach and
head OF his victim, the brunt OF which
Jackson could not Withstand, and went
sailing to the mat like a beef. AT that,
however, the beaten man was game,
time and again Tate sent hooks to the
stomach of his victim, who each time
came back for more. One thing in
Iut's favor was confidence. the lad
really believed that he could Tate S
measure and never lost this confidence
until the end. 1t was, after all. an inter
esting battle. Tate won, bit not as
soon as he should have. In fact his
manner of attack was repletc with
flaws. In the first place it made the
contest threaten TO become tiresome
by the way he waited for Tut to tire
in the early STAGES of the battle.
Punch to the Chin Ends 1t
Tate ended the fight in the fourth
stanza, when he opened up for the
first time with blows that were hard
enough 10 sting. A left hook to the
face another TO the stomach and
terrific right to the body sent the Tut
ting person to the canvas for a brief
period or to be exact for the count of
seven. At this point he arose, how
ever. and not until Bill sent several
more punches to the body did Jackson
become a member of the well known
Quo Coo club. Tut hit the floor like
a stone wall, and did not move for
several minutes after the referee had
counted him out.

Managers Poor Sportsmen

On the whole it was a great game,
indeed an enjoyable one to watch. but
about the managers OF the team we
are not able to say so much. Three
men control the team. They are by
name, George Scott, B. w. Sohwech
and William Taylor, These men arc
poor sports according 20 the reports
circulated by the returning Lincoln
players. There are few men in pro-
fessional foot ball as fair as William
Bottoms and we are in a position to
know that when Sir William registers
a kick it is valuable stock. A Whip
representative called on Mr.. Bottoms
Monday morning and found the foot
ball nogul somewhat upset over the
results of the aftermath 10 the game.
How was the trip, Mr.. Bottomsf" he
was asked. "Oh, we'll, so far as the
game was concerned. have seen few
If any better, but the managers and
promoters of team are poor sports
men" 1t seems that the Columbus
management refused to live up to their
contract and as a result the Chicago
team would have suffered had not the
hand of William Bottoms been strong
enough to tide them over.

doubt OF his falling until he has at least
reached the end of this great money

Harry Wills, we face an entirely dit
terent situation. Wills is as heavy as
Dempsey. has the punch, the courage,
confidence and on a whole sizes up
wonderfully against the champ. There
is no doubt but that Dempsey will take
but little chance with Wills In the
first place Wills will undoubtedly be
the last OF the three men 10 tackle the
champ. Oh, yes, it would most GER
tainly be poor management on the
part of kearns to allow his protege to
dabble in fire of the Wills type at
such an inopportune time.

was easily the master of the situation
throughout. The game was slow, but
interesting from other angles. 1t took
something like So shots for Simms TO
run out, something that is not in the

1t might have been that BAN was
somewhat inclined to take it easy after
seeing that the big foreigner was

Perhaps the most conspicuous tea-

between Chicago and Wisconsin was
the absence OF enthusiasm. 1t was
not only evident but disgraceful Per-
haDs had the Chicago team showed
to a better advantage and played the
game that was expected bv the fans
and preached BY Mentor Stage, this
condition would not have existed. But
are we not aware OF the long cstab-
lished fact that Jew teams are better
than their praise, while CONSCIENTIOUS
teams strive to be as good as their
praise. Now in this point we are IN
clned to think rest the cue tor the
fall OF the Chicago hopes, chances and
enthusiasm, perhaps not perhaps so,
