Most of the great champions were well under six feet, weighing in the neighborhood of 175 and 180 pounds. I As a matter of fact, I am the only giant that ever reached the championship class and Jeffries and Johnson were bigger than any of the champions that went before them. Bendlgo and Deafe Burke were really middleweights, and Pearce Belcher and Johnson scaled under ISO pounds." All of them whipped the biggest men that could found to go against them. Courage Is the main thing. It's the heart of a man that wins or loes.

The next thing is condition. You may be the bravest fellow that ever walked, but unless you've got strength and wind and endurance you'll go down to defeat. Skill is the third thing. Learn what to do with your hands and your feet. Every thing being equal, I won't say that a little man can whip a big one.

but I do say that the little man will win every time if he takes condition and skill up against plain brute strength. I'm not champion because of my size. Bigger men than I am have been whipped by middleweights time and again. Fitz-simmons used to love to get hold of giants because they fell so hard. I am champion because I kept my" system free from poison and got boxing kill by good hard work.

Even had I known less aoout boxing than I do 1 feel that I would have won from Johnson on condition alone. me best illustration 0f what a "little fellow" can do with his body Is Tom Bayers, tne welterweight, who won the i-nampionehlp of England and held it against the world. Here was a man who Stood 5 feet. inches and weighed only 140 pounds and yet he trimmed them all. in the rise and fall of Sayers there are as many lesson as any preacher ever crammed into out as a bricklayer, he lived a clean, wholesome life until he was 35 vears old.

It was at this asre that he left the ring, the picture of health, and undisputed champion. vv money to spend and nlentv of time, he began to go the pace. In four years the great Tom Sayers was a phys ical wreck. Consumption and kidnev trouble brought him down to a shadow of his former self and it was little more than a skeleton that his friends carried to the grave. The record of Sayers is even more re markable than that of Fitzsimmons, for the Corniahman stood three inches taller and weighed at least 25 pounds more.

Beginning with men of his own size. Sayers whipped everybody in sight, and by 1856, announced that he was ready to take on any of the big fellows. It was in this year that a chamninnshln was bought by public subscription and put up to be fought for. It was handed first to Perrv. the Tlnton Slasher, then the recognized champion.

Matches to pick a challenger began at once. Tom Paddock whipped Harry Brooms and Sayers took on his first heavy in the person of Aaron Jones. A draw was called in the sixty-second round, both men being too exhausted to go on. A second time the men entered the ring and Sayers proved the winner after two hours of desperate flghtlnsr. He was not ready for his match with the Champion.

The "men finally met on June 16. 1857. The Slasher stood six feet tall and weighed 200 pounds, fairly towering over Sayers, who stripped at 154 pounds. From the first the fight belonged to i Bayers. While the Slasher had trained hard, six weeks of work could not take away the fat plied on by eix years.

He was as elow as a dray horse and Savers had little trouble in sidestepping his pon derous rushes. Bill Balnge. an awkward giant, was the next man to fall victim to the new champion and in 1S58 Sayere defended his belt a second time against Tom Paddock. The rules of the championship were that the champion did not have to fight for less than $1,000. but ell that Tom Paddock could raise was $750.

'I'll never let a bit o' tolunt stand be tween a pal and his chance at the belt." said Sayers. "We'll fight for $750." Paddock proved no better match for Sayers than had the Tipton Slasher. The champion was entirely too fast for him and after fighting one hour and 20 min utes Paddocks seconds threw up the sponge. Victories over Bill Baings and Bob Brettie finished up all the jobs that Sayers had on hand. The belt was now his personal property for he had defended it three years without a defeat.

In the meantime. Aaron Jones had sailed for the United States and was giv ing boxing lessons in New York. He saw the fight between Heenan and Morrisey and got the idea of taking one of them back tcJ England to fight Sayers for the championship of the world. Heenan was finally picked as the right man and the first great International fight took place at Fernborough on April 17. 1960.

As I have said before, there's little doubt that Heenan" won- Sayers was either knocked down or thrown in every round. In the thirty-seventh round the referee left the ring, but the men fought seven rounds more. In the thirty-ninth round Sayers was on the ropes, a beaten man. The crowd pushed forward, the ropes were cut and a championship fight was turned into a disgraceful free-for-all. Sayers was not to blame for the ruffianism of the crowd, nor was he by the battle.

Heenan outweighed him by 30 pounds and it wa a wonderful thing that the middleweight could stand 'the gait for two hours and twenty min utes. The better class of English sportsmen were so ashamed of the robbery that a movement was put on foot to buy a championship beit for Heenan. The belt was made and jdven, but the English forgot to tav 'or it and poor Heenan had to send it back. Sayers refused to meet Heenan again and retired from the ring. Of the many men left in the field to fight for the championship.

Jem Mace nnd Tom King were the only two who amounted to anything. The English ring was falling to pieces and crooked work was helping to wreck it. "Macy the Oypsy" was a wonderfully 'clever man and game enough, but the trouble with him was that he lacked honesty. Time after time he took part in raw fakes, lending himself to the dirty schemes of the gamblers In their first fight Mace whipped King, but at a second meeting King was the victor. A chance blow won for him.

UP to the nineteenth round Mace was leading bv a mile and the betting was 10 to 1 on him. He lost by his own recklessness. As King staggered to the scratch In the nineteenth Mace rushed in to land the finishing blow. He took no trouble to -guard, but drew back for a free right-hand swing. With one last dying effort King brought his right over.

They say it was one of the hardest blows ever hit in a ring. It landed on Mace's left cheek and seemed to spread all over the face. Jem went down like a log and in a flash h's whole face was swollen to twice its size. As of England K'ner was challenged by Heenan and the second international fight took place on December 8. 1W3.

Again the American was given the worst of it, -rrooked work dealing Eng-llrh sportsmanship another blow. When time was called for the eighteenth round King could not come to the scratch. Heenan and his seconds asVed the referee to give him the fight, but that official re- a some minutes of waiting the ordered to the scratch again. The delay had given Kinsr a chance to recover. It had also given somebody a chance to slip a drug into Heenan' drinking water.

The American staggered like drunken man as he came up, and could barely raise his hands. Even then it took King six rounds to knock him out. Heenan was near death for days, and there's no doubt that the drug shortened nis are. He never fought again, ana died a few years later. Like Heenan.

King never fought again. Jem Mace took up the championship and held it in crooked fashion until 1S70, when he went to Australia. His last championship fight was in America, the great gypsy whipping Tom Allen in 40 minutes. The battle was fought near New Orleans, "and all the sporting men of the United States gath ered at the ringside. The home of the prize ring now changed from England to America.

Not only were there no good men to take Mace's place, but the fake fights of the gypsy had killed the game entirely. With Mace in Australia, Tom Allen claimed the championship, and held it until 1876. when Joe Goss took it away from him. Goes remained i champion without fighting until 1880. when he fell a victim to Paddy Ryan.

In 1882 Ryan went down before Sullivan, the "Boston Strong Boy." and at last America had a real champion. (Tomorrow Willard will sketch! the history of the American ring from Tom Hyer to Jack Johnson.) Railway Employe Heads Have Meeting ALTOONA, Aug. 8.
