PALAVER OF THE PUGILISTS
Mclim crnV Introduction to II Im Klrnt

liy To in in ' White,
Tommy White, the featherweight pugilist
of Chicago, sustained tho predictions of his
friends In his bout with "Terrible Terry"
McOovcrn nt Chicago Tuesday night. Tho
exhibition of tho manifold arts of tho game
ho possesses ns given by him at that time
warrants tho assumption that ho may yet
accomplish greater things, than he did when
he surprised a largo proportion of tho fol
lowers of flstlanla by standing up before
tho Brooklyn fighting machlno for six
rounds tho limit.
Thoso who had faith In Whlto's ability to
accomplish this feat wcro In tho minority.
Hvcry point of nrgument, other than nn
abiding faith In his cleverness and his stay
ing riunlltles, opposed such a conclusion.
Since McOovcrn wrested from Oeorgo Dixon
tho featherweight championship which tho
latter had held for years he bos been dis
posing of nil comers with a marvelous:
rapidity, suggesting the possible possession
of a hypnotic charm. Whlto Is the first
man outside of Dixon to stay flvo rounds
with Mcdovcrn for nlmost a year, nnd his
success In doing to entitles him to consid
eration In featherweight circles second only
lo that buitowed upon McOovcrn. Indeed,
the hitter's star has been dimmed to a far
greater degree than Is appreciable by the
casual observer of things pugilistic.
While White failed to get tho credit of a
draw. In accordance with n pre-arranged
plan forced upon the Chicago ffghtcr and
his backers by tho nrooklynito nnd his
manager, the fact that he was on his feet
nt tho end, dishing up to his opponent nn
nssortmont of cholco viands and had tbti
bettor of tho concluding round, will nlwuys
redound to his credit and the lustor of his
success 'will not soon fndo away. It Is not
beyond tho range, of possibilities to bellevo
that had tho fight continued beyond tho
sixth round Whlto would havo gnlned a
pronounced victory. Such n belief has for

round. Ho uppercut tho Ilrooklyn flghtor

put up very strong resistance as the Chl
cagoan shot out his left with vicious Intent.
Tho fight was governed by straight
Queeusbcrry rules nnd tho men wcro per
mitted to hit In clinches nnd breakaways.
Inasmuch ns tho betting was all on the
basis of Whlto's lasting through tho six
rounds, tho Chicago lad primarily had for
his purpose a dcfenslvo campaign. Ho do

"Nothing can bo moro dnngorous than rid

sitting up right on tho saddlo with ono pedal

lengthen tho reach, nor bending the knee to
shorten It. It Is Important also that tho
saddle bo adjusted far enough forward so
that ono sits directly over her work; noth
ing Is moro tiring than riding a blcyclo with
the saddlo too fnr back or too low. In cither
ensn tho knees bend too much and the mus
cles of tho legs soon hecomo exhausted. If
tho saddlo Is too far back It Is necessary to
lean forward In tho ungraceful nnd un
healthy position of thn 'scorcher' In ordor to
reach tho handle-bars.
"Ucsplto tho legion of Instruction bonks
thnt havo been published nnd tho number
of echools for learning to ride tho blcyclo,
ono atlll sees a great many of tho womon
who wheel making tho pnmo old mistakes.
They do not sit upright on tho machlno ns
they should, with tho shoulders thrown
back, tho chest out nnd the hoad erect.
Not only Is this tho most graceful position
for riding, but It Is also tho most healthful.
Curloufcly enough, common sense and vanity,
usually diametrically opposed to each other,
are united on this point. The woman who
rides with hor head and shoulders bent
fprwnrd over the handlo-bars, whether sho
scorches' or rides leisurely. Is uot only
hopelessly ungraceful, but she doprlvcs her
self of tho healthful advantages of tho ex
urclse, for cramped lungs cannot breathe
properly nnd tho heart, Boon labors In this
position."
It has been solemnly decided In Cincin

To tho end that even a suspicion of team
work may bo dono nway with; that second-

It Is tho wonderful power thnt Is raising up weak physiques and giving us a
generation of stronger men and healthier people. Mcdlclnu will not do what
this belt will for dospondent, discouraged mon. Kluctrlclty, when scientifically
generated and applied, ro that It will go through tbo cntlro body nnd not hover
juet on the outside, Is unquestionably the only cure for Loat Vitality and Mental
Weakness. Scientists aro admitting this every day, and science proves that
Dr. Dennett's is tho only belt that Is cnpnhle of marvelous results and permanent
cures.
It hns soft, silk, chamnls-roverod spongo electrodes that cannot burn and
blister as do the bare metal electrodes uard on nil othor makes of belts.
Dr. Dennett's belt when worn out can be renewed for 75c, but no other belt
can bo renewed for any prlco.
If you hnvo an old style belt that burns or does not give a current I will
tako It in part payment for ono of rn Ino nnd will guarantee that my belt will
cure you sumo ns It has thousands upon thousands of others.
Thero is no form of Physical Wenknoffl, Lost Vitality, Varicocele, Ooneral
Debility, Rheumatism, Constipation nnd Kcmalo Complaints, Stomach Troubles
Uver Troubles, Kidney Troubles, Dlndder Troubles, etc., that my bolt will not
cure.
You may feel ns If you aro doom ed that there Is no hopo for you that you
cannot bo cured because you havo tried almost everything under the sun with
out getting oven relief. Yet Dr. tlennett's Klectrlo Holt has cured casen Just as
far gono ns yours, If you arn not already In bed and within n step of ono foot
In tho grave. I have seen this wonderful belt lift men to health that could not
havo lived without It, and I therefor o caution you against dolay. WrltB to mo.
Tell mo everything. I will help you to bocomo strong and vigorous, I will send
you my symptom blank, book and llteraturn nnd keep your secret nR though It
