Bare Fist Battles
 Of the Prize Ring
(BY JACK McAULIFFE)

(BY JACK McAUL1FFE)
 Did you ever hear of prospective opponent giving an undefeated champion s5 to kid him along and prevent him running out of a fight?
 It gave me a laugh, but it really happened. In the fall of 1886 I became my own manager because Bill Madden was too busy campaign ing for Charlie Mitchell. I made a match with Billy Frazier, boxing instructor at Harvard University. I wired for Patsy Sheppard, a we'll known sport and saloonkeeper of Boston, whom I had never met be- fore. to be my second.
 Arriving at Boston I went into Patsy's saloon to wait for him. I was cold and had eaten nothing since leaving New York. so l or dered two bottles of stout. They made me dizzy and I soon fell asleep with my head on the table Patsy came in. took one look at me and said, "Ill not second that drunk and I'm going out and put my money on the other fellow
 That put me in fine. I had no money as I thought could get some from him. I went around to Dave Blanchard's gym on Washington street to see Frazier train. It was then I had my first look at punch ing bag, crude as the thing was. Frazier brought bottle of tea along with him and slipped it an in. tervals. He busted the punching bag and that gave me a cue to have a little fun so hollered, I'm not going through with this fight. He's too strong. I'll have none of him."
 They all gathered around me try ing to make me change my mind Frazier then did the magnificent act of digging down into his pocket and handed me flve-dollar bill,
 I spent it all on steaks, I was so hungry.
 We met in a wholesale houses lofe three days later. Frazier had a terrific uppercut, but nothing more than that. He was easy be- cause I was cautious with him for about ten rounds and then stepped out and moved him down in the Fist round.
 That night I learned something I went back to Patsys saloon and who did I find behind the bar with mirror in his hand sorrowfully gazing at the bumps and welts on his face but Frazier. He was vain and I had marked him quite a bit.
 That gave me an idea. In all later fights when I began to cut an op- pcnent up l alweys told him about it as l went along.

Tn a four-cornered deal that in- volved about a dozen players, vet erans and rockies McGraw landed Burleigh Grimes for the Giants. The former star of the Brooklyn club is one of the few spitball pitchers still doing business in the majors and he is mighty good one. Grimes should be big winner for McGraw.
 The deal also brings back to the majors Alex Ferguson. who was the pitching surprise of the 1925 series for Washington against Pittsburgh.
 Philadelphia parts with Catcher Butch Henline, who goes to the Brooklyn club. In addition, Man ager McInnis gets Pitcher Jack Scott and Infielder Thompson from New York, in the deal of many angles.

To know her precious worth.
No mother now TO guide us.

He wept bitterly over what he call ed most unfortunate mistake and almost convinced the police that his of his wife's poisoning was true.
