Duncan C. Ross mot hin there in Juno , 1883. It was a quooi meeting. Ross is an athlete himself and keeps an eye open for men of tin physique. During the Rochester wrest ling tournament , while going to the scon of the buttle , ROBS noticed a 111(1 VKI.LOW , SLOVENLY DHKSSED , in the crowd , waiting for him to pass lie was with H. M.

Later tor , Ross again saw the man , and aske him what ho worked ixt. "Nothing , was the answer. A further talk cause1 lloss to take his "find" to the hall hoi which ho had come , and examine him Divested of his clothes ho appeared i better form still , and the outcome was contract for a year between the men Rosa agreeing to pay him so much a daj and ho to obey Ross.

Sulliva never answered it , and after waitir sometime Ross and O'Donnoll went t Sullivan's houau , only to get a robull'froi iho champion , who refused to talk wit Thompson.

When ho naili Stewart with his right ho knocked hi as cold as a wcdpo , and the Cniwdi ; never moved a muscle for fully fiftei minutes. He wasn't able to leave his bi for forty-eight hours. " "Was Stewart anything like a mate for Thompson in si/.o and skill ! " "Yes , he was lully n tall , " was tl response , "though , of couieo , not no eo stout or well built.
