was purchased out of the profits and

tion Chance is supportedby Mordecai

Cubs and now connected with the
E‘ederal LeuguI.
Brown slates that the 11111111111 salary
‘e e1er received irom the Cubs was
$7.000 per season at the height of his
career. Moreover, Brown says this

Fitz brought out the pomt that a light-0

once he enters the ring. He is on hid"

”When 11 man is (1011111 and feels 11
111011 and hears the referee count oil

inasmuch as it assists him to get up, 11
tells him how much longer he may

the other hand. “‘8 lighter is knocked
down and he is a game man”, he will
lose no time in getting up, tor he will
be afraid to keep down. This practice
of the referees in tolling oil the sec-

prohibited." Choynskl, who really
