OF fighting.

None Of the other fellows who
met him fought him rightly. All OF
them played right into his hands.
None of them used their brains:
They didn't study him beforehand

They all did their thinking after
they got in the ring. hey stood up in

selves, Now just how will l fight
him?' While they were trying to
dope II out Tender naturally step
ped in and got a good start. And
a good start is sometimes half the
battle. BY stepping in and getting
the jump Tender made 1t so warm
for his opponents that they had no
chance to size him up. They had
to fight him haphazard.
Whatever success Tender has
had in the ring is due solely to his
being a southpaw and boxing in q
style the men who faced him were
decidedly unfamiliar with.
"As I said before, Lew has not
enough stuff to be called a great
boxer. No truly great boxer Is

a dozen different punches. But
Lew has been getting away with

baffled opponents who didn't have
enough gray matter to study his

Cars and Barn Burn.

The fire alarm was sounded last
Friday night about $40. Rain was
falling steadily, but despite this the
fire company found the barn of DIR.
J. NJ. Ledbetter, just to the rear of
his residence, in mass of flames.
1t was so completely cnveloped that
there was no chance to save it. A
small barn of w. B. Cole nearby
caught but was eXtinguished.
The fire originated apparently
from a short circuit in the Pan
American touring car belonging to
Mrs. Ledbetter; the car was under
shed of the barn and flames were
shooting up from the car when first
seen by the family. The alarm was
given but in a few seconds the fire
had spread to the body of the cal
and thence to the barn itself. A
Buick Six that DR.. Ledbetter had
bought recently and had oVerhauled
was also burned. The loss of the
two cars will be around $500, with
no insurance, and loss of the barn
is around 1880, with about 500 in
