abroad. This method will Insure freedom
from the complaint that wa made on the
occasion of the visit of the American team
to Athens, that It did not fairly represent
American athletic. Honor enough were
won on that occasion to quiet the voloe of
criticism, but no matter what the outcome
of the approaohlng event. It will be free
from that cause of complaint." Little doubt
exists that the American youth will again

PUGILISTS .BORN, NOT MADE
Natural Fistic Qualities Produce
Start of the Ring.
INCIDENTS THAT BEGAN CAEEEES
How Salllran, Corbett, Jeffries, Fits
Immnas, Dempsey, Cans sal
Other Great Fighters De
elded to Pot fa Hands.
NEW YORK. March 28. It Is as natural
for some men to be prise fighters as It Is
for others to be poets, musicians and ar
tists. Circumstances often develop the
pugilistic nature In the successful fighting
man, but nobody can become a topnotcher
In the prise ring unless Jib has the natural
requirements In his makeup.
John lh Sullivan's parents often declared
that they Intended their huiiky son for the
church, but that nature made the big fel
low a champion prise fighter. It was about
the same with the parents of Jeffries. His
father, who Is a traveling preacher up and
down the western rivers, tried hard to
hav his big son follow In the same path,
but again nature stepped In and declared
Jim a gladiator. It Is almost always the
caae that parents of pugilists are opposed
to the fighting game.
When Sullivan was a young fellow In
South Boston his father put him to work
In a tin factory to learn the trade of tinker.
John had refused to study for the priest
hood and wanted to be his own boss. He
developed a fomlnifs for baseball and at
each dinner hour he would Join his friends
in a game In a nearby lot. The boss of
the factory was a big burly fellow, who
ruled the apprentices with an Iron hand.
When the whistle blew at 1 o'clock he
would accept no excuses from the boys who
were a few minutes late.
What the Boss Got.
One afternoon Sullivan was so taken up
with his playing that he did not hear the
factory whistle and was about ten minutes
late when he came back to the shop. With
no word of warning the boas rushed at
John L. like a cyclone, clouted him In the
face and kicked him in the body. Like an
Infuriated tiger Sullivan turned and, shoot
ing out his mighty right fist, he landed on
the boss' Jaw, sending the latter flying
through a window Into the yard.
Sullivan lost his job, but it was not long
after that he came to be known as "the
strong boy." The first time he ever put
on a pair of boxing glove wa at a variety
entertainment In the Dudley Btreet opera
house In Roxbuy, Mass. John attended
he show not expecting to take any part
In It. Dut It so happened that as a muscu
lar young man named Scannel came out
on the stage and announced that he was
ready to meet anybody In the house some
of Sullivan's friends Induced him to ac
cept the challenge. Bo after a parley John
climbed over the footlights. He had no
boxing togs with him, but Just pulled off
his coat, rolled up his shirt sleeves and
drew on the gloves.
Sullivan snd Scannel went at it hammer
and tongs. In a mlxup John received a -terrific
blow on the back of his head. His
eyes flashed fire and he came back at his
antagonist with a punch so hard that Scan
nel was knocked clear over the piano, which
was near at hand. That settled. Scannel
and also started Sullivan on his pugilistic
career. From that night on his sole am
bition was to become a champion fighter.

the Olymplo Athletic club, and under Walter
Watson, a past master of the. manly art,
he' soon developed Into a clever boxer. Fis
tic science was a natural quality, and It
was not long before he had bested all of
the best sparrers In the club. Corbett
says that the night John K Sullivan met
George Robinson at the Mechanics' pavilion
in 'Frisco, he was tho first person to pass
the gates, at 5 o'clock In the afternoon.

father filed an objection to Jim', ambition
to become a pugilist and also to his will
ingness to meet a negro In the ring. The
old gentleman was fairly beside himself
with rage over the match and declared
that he would have Jim arrested. But
Corbett took hla dnd aside and said:
"Now, father, I've signed articles to
meet Jackson! True, he's a colored man
and I appreciate your feelings, but I've
signed the agreement and can't get out of
the fight without disgracing myself and
losing the friendship as well as the money
of a whole lot of good people. If you

rider Corbett, who shook his head and

Jim Jeffrie' Start.
Jeffries began his business career aa a
Boilermaker at Los Angeles. He was fond
of swinging the heavy hammer and soon
developed great physical strength. Jim
was never In the habit of looking for
trouble, but when It was up to htm he
generally sailed In and won. Among his
coworkers In the boiler factory Jeff soon
gained a reputation for his rough and
ready fighting ability, so that very few
cared to cross his path.
One day a negro boxer visited Los Angeles
with a challenge to meet all comers.
The boys In the boiler factory coaxed Jeff
to take a chance with the dusky boxer.
Jim knew nothing of sclentlflC'xlng in
those days, but he could rush and hit with
the power of a mule's kick. Bo he tacklod
the darky, and after tho latter had ex
hausted his Btrength in pounding Jeff's
head and body the big Caltfornlan rushed
and the negro was almost annihilated.
Then la was that Jeff got the prlseflghtlng

to Frisco, where he knocked out Dan Long,
a local fighter of some reputation. Jeffries
says he was helping to train Corbett for

Jack Dempsey started his athletic career
as a collar and elbow wrestler. He and
Jack McAullffe worked together aa coopers
In a shop In Williamsburg. In the same

two Jacks boxing lessons during the noon
hour. Dempsey developed into the middle
weight champion with o wonderful record
of hard skin glove battles, while McAullffe,

and gameness, became the lightweight

cooper shop also turned out several other
noted pugilists who have earned fame In
