WHEN FIGHTERS FOUGHT

PriZe-fightiDg is not particularly
elevating sport, yet it has many devotees,
even among persons of high official and
social position. Ladies of unquestioned
large numbers.
Considering the unsatisfactory ex-
hibitions which have been staged of late,
even among fighters who have held or as
pired to world championships, it is remark
able that the boxing game has been able
to hold it's customers SO well. 1t is natural,
therefore, that comparisons are being
made between modern pugiIists and the
Old-timers.
Many have speculated, for example,
on what would have happened if John l..
Sullivan in his prime had met fighter like
Jack Dempsey or Tunney
No one will ever know, but when it is
remembered that Sullivan and Kilrain
fought rs rounds with bare knuckles in
the last championship contest under Lon
don prize ring rules, the stamina of thos.
old-timers can not be discounted. That
was in 1889, since which time gloves have
been used, and no championship battle
has lasted more than &c rounds under the
new rules.
Under the old London bare knuckle
rules round did not end until one of the
fighters was on the ground Then. after
only 80 seconds rest, they went at it again.
AS Jack Dempsey has pointed out.
while Sullivan in his decline was defeated
by jim Corbett in glove contest, Sullivan
went to his grave as the undefeated bare
knuckle champion. In comparison with
Sullivan, most of our modern fighters seem
like mollycoddles.

HANDICAPS OVERCOME

An anonymous writer has called at
tention to some of the handicaps which
were overcome by those whom the world
recognizes as geniuSes and leaders of the
first rank. Among those mentioned are the
following:
Demosthenes, who became one of
the worlds greatest orators, suffered in
his youth.
julius Caesar and Napoleon Bon
aparte, two of the greatest generals and
states men of all time. were epileptics SO
was Mohammed, who founded a religion
which now has more than 200 million adj
herentS.
Alfred the Great, considered "the
wisest, best and greatest king of England.
had lifelong internal disease.
Among authors and poets Carlyle was
a dyspeptic. Byron had a club foot Keats
had tuberculosis, Milton was blind, and
Pope was hunchback.
Darwin suffered from nervous dis
ease, and Beethoven composed some of his
most majestic musical works after he had
become totally deaf.
In our own generation, the great
electrical wizard, Charles F. Steinmetz
was deformed dwarf, and Helen Keller,
one of Americas most accomplished wo-
men, has been deaf and blind from child
hood
The list of world famous notables who
have labored under serious physical handi-
caps might be extended almost indefin-
itely. Their example should be inspiring to
any who are inclined to complain about
minor Affections or difficulties.
