thing ih Saturday night's game
which will bear comment. When
the excitement was at its greatest
height ia the second period, players
on both sides rather lost their
tempers and while they were closely
watched by the- officials and little
rough play could get by, these offi
cials could not control the players'
tOBgnes and some things were said
whkh would have been better left

JESS WILLARD would restore the wreath that Joansing wreated from the
whites; with warlike zeal he grinds his teeth, this hero of at least two
fights. Alas, oar bosoms are not warmed; when such a hero gambols in;
anless black Jack is chloroformed, we do not see how Jess can win. The chances
are hell come te grief before they're fairly down te bit; for, while he's surely
long on beef, the spark of genius isn't his. He hasn't the immortal fire whkh
aade the Bard ef Avon great, whkh made Jack Milton punch his lyre, and get
is laurel crownon straight He has the lard, his heart is game, he has the
height, he has the reach; bat, oh, he lacks that deathless flame which makes
the pugilistic peach. With confidence he goes to meet the greatest fighter on
this sphere, but he will tumble o'er his feet, and cork himself and interfere
They'll bear him helpless from the ring, while drearily the White Face groans,
and Johnsing, he will dance and sing, and draw his thirtv thousand bones.
