Frank Slavin, Kion-
 diker, Famous Prize
 fighter in His Days

The Ring, a sporting publication of London, recently contained an article about the fighting career of Frank r. Slavia, pioneer of the Klondike, and well known to many old-timers of that district and other parts of the North. The article follows:
 1t seems that boxers nowadays haven't the picturesque aspect that characterized the old-timers. Times have changed. The old days had strange ways.
 Take Frank Slavin, for one. He was a roamer, wanderer He fought be- cause he loved fighting and because 1t was the easiest way he knew to make a living. This husky Australian made his American debut in Madison Square Garden in 1891, sparring with Charley Mitchell.
 A couple of months later. on June r, he appeared in his first fight here,
 He didn't pick out sucker, either
 As a matter of fact his opponent was Jake Kilrain.
 Slavin was dubbed the 'Sydneg Corn stalk, ;" for he was born in Sydney, N. S. w, and resemblea eornstalk in general appearance
 He was pretty generally recognized as the heavyweight champion of Eng land at the time. He had wen the title in 1889, though officially it. never was his.
 It happened something like tbis, Slavin had landed in England that year, after having cleaned up every thing in his native land from the tune he had started fighting in ls81 He fought a bout in London with Bill Good and had knocked him out in five rounds. He did the same thing to Frank Young in one round.
 This made him eligible for a crack at the heavVweiQh Qhtt title, tboB held by Jem Smith. In those days the boys fought it out with bare knuckles under London prize ring rules This bout was staged in Bruges. Belgium, on December 29, 1889.
 Smith was a heavy favorite. He was backed by the fans almost to man, so imagine their consternation when they saw Slavin winning by milei
 There was a fellow of the name of Jem Carney, who had sunk his bank roll on Smith, and when he saw the way events were going he signaled to some of his henchmen, and they iamped into the ring in the fourteenth round and started free-for.all fight. In,the melee Slavin was roughly handled

ne OtHClaIS weren't taking any chances, so they called the bout 8 draw The verdict caused a good dea of adverse comment, and the sporting public conceded the title to Slavin But he couldn't override the oficiaI decision, though he did collect his end of the S5,000 purse.
 He had a couple of more lights, and when he landed here he was ripe for a hard battle.
 Slavin was hard hitter. He had a crushing right hand that played havoc with his opponents He and Kilrain met in the afternoon at the Granite Athletic Club in Hoboken. The club house was damned with fans, and they were treated to a rare scrap.
 Slavin outpunched Kilrain and had the better of the fight in the Grsl eight rounds. Kilrain took terrific punish menJ. but came back gamely round after rouad for more.
 But in the ninth Kilrain was finished. Slavin sent in right to the face that staggered Kilrafn Jake wohbled and almost fell, yet came on again endeaV- bring to land a blow himself, although he was nearly blinded Slay.n shot @ right to the wind JhaJ double Hilrain up and sent him foun1erlnq bdadly.
 SlayIn stared at Jake when EIlrain failed to % down.
 Kilrain was oue of that type that re- fused to believe he was deie ted so long as he could stand on his lee
 Slayiu determined to end the thing then and there, and swung terrific right into Kilrain's rips. The blow resounded through the house aaa died down as Kilrain toppled to the floor

 But he took on one job soon after this that was bit too much for him. He was challenged by Peter Jackson, and, being mau who didn't believe in the color line, Slavin accepted The bout was staged n London on May 30, lS9z and Jackson knocked SlaVia out in ten rounds
 Slavln fought a gloriousl9 game bat tie against Jackson, but in T minutes Jackson had mastered him.
 The Australian fought several bat ties after this one, but after he had lost to Jackson the smell of the resin seemed to have lost let Q. it's attrac- tiveness When the rush for gold in the Klonoieo came, Slavip couldn't re- sist the wanderlust in his veins.
 He Was born in Sydney, N $ w, in 1862, and began his ring career when he was = years Of age. Between then and the time hefought Jem Smith he had beaten Billy Franan (his first fght); Harry Lang; had knocked out Tom Burke the heavyweight cham pion of Queensland: defeated s.
