Did you ever know that Charlie Conkie, the Hamilton wrestler, once scored a knockdown on the late John L. Sullivan? says the Hamilton Spec- tator, Well, he did, but the story never got into the sporting columns, altho- oug it 'was given prominence on the front page of the Detroit papers a few years back. It happened at the time that Sulli- van and Kilrain were traveling with a burlesque show and giving three round exhibitions. The show was in Detroit and one of the attractions with the show was Kid Cutler, the wrestler, who was meeting all com- ers, and who offered to give D in real money to any person who would stay fifteen minutes with him with- out being thrown, and a dollar for every minute they stayed over ithe quarter hour. Several grapplers around Detroit had made an attempt to win the money, but without sue- Cess, It happened that at the time the show 'was in the border city, Conkie was returning from an important match in a Michigan lumber camp, where he had thrown. the camp with ease, and had separated some of the lumberjacks from a fair portion of Uncle Samuel's mint pro- duction. With the real match over, it struck Conkle that he might as well pick up a little soft change on his way home, and he wended his way to the theatre where the Sulli- van-Kilrain show was playing, and offered to go on with Cutler. He was disguised as a farmer boy at ithe time, with a collar made of real cell- uloid and a liberal growth of capill- ary substance on his chin, "Don't be foolish, boy," said John L. when he looked Conkle over. "This fellow is too big for you, and besides, you have nol had enough ex- perience to make things interesting." "Well, if that is the way you feel, I will bet fifty dollars that I stay the ten rounds," retorted Conkle, and half-century looked so good to the veteran pugilist that he finally con- sented to allow Conkle to go on. Althoigh Cutler had considerable weight on Conkle, Charlie made him look like an amateur, and after the match had gone half an hour, with no sign of Cutler even getting Con- tain was rung down. Then started a hind the scenes, with every person in the show attempting to take a wallop at Conkle for spoiling a perfectly good drawing-card. Kilrain made a pass at the Hamiltonian, but Charlie was too'quick for him, and in his effort 10 make a getaway he ran into old John L. Sullivan, who started to make a rough house, but Conkle hit him in the stomach, which was be- yond the athletic size at that time and down went the former world's champion. The whole stage was in an uproar, and the police were called and Conkle given a free ride to head- quarters with no wearing apparel on but his - restling tights. He sold his story to the police sergeant, and he was accompanied back to the the- atre by a squad of police, Sullivan was ordered to not only pay the side bet, but also the money coming to Conklé for staying with Cutler b Enter the name of Charles Conkle on the list of the few people who ever knocked the late John L. down. -------- ee Mentioned as President. Joe. S. Jackson, formerly sport- ing editor of. the Detroit News, troit Free Press, Washington Post and other newspapers, is the latest candidate for the presidency of the International League. Mr. Jackson is regarded from coast to coast and from the far north to the Guif of Mexico as one of the most brilliant writers on baseball and "one of the most noted authorities on the game in its various angles in America. Mr. Jackson has been president of the Baseball Writers of America for a number of years, and is universally popular with baseball club owners, officials and players. His qualifiea- tions for the position are such as to entitle him to the very serious con- sideration of the clubs of the Interna- tional League when selecting a suec- cessor to Edward G. Barrow.

Sul- livan stands unique. = As a "goat get- ter" the Old Roman of the ring never had, agd probably never will, have an 'equal. Most men were whipped the minute they crawled into the ring with Jobn 1. The ferocious gleam | in his eye, and his bellawing voice | which sounded like+the snort of an| enragéd bull, put fear into the hearts] of his antagonists, and turned their blood to water, This quality was never better illus- trated than in John L's. fight with Patsy Cardiff, which took place at Minneapolis 31 years ago last week. Cardiff was a master of the pugilis-| tic art, but he was lacking in brute | courage. - Sullivan brokg the radios | of his left arm early in the conflict,! and was at Cardiff's mercy, but the latter lacked to nerve to follow up his advantage, - John I. glowered at! Patsy so ferociously, and threatened| him with such a baneful eye, that] poor Cardiff , was hypnotized | The bout went six rounds to a draw There were only two men whe ever called Sullivan's bluff, and who re- fused to be bullied into submission. | The first was Charlie Mitchell, the] English boxer. They met in Madison Garden in 1884, and although the Britisher was 4 much smaller man than the Irish-American, he treat- ed John L. with supreme disdain. The police interefered in the third round, and it was not until 1888 that Mit- chell' and Sullivan" fought again, in Chantilly, France. Again the Eng lishman refused to be. bluffed, and the battle went 39 rounds to a draw. In 1892 at New Orleans, John L: found' another man whose goat was not to be got. He was Jim Corbett, and he was not to be scared by the blustering of the veteran. John roar- ed defiance, snorted contempt, glared and charged and rushed in wild fury, but the lithe and speedy Californian only smiled. The old tactics failed utterly in this crisis, and John L. be, came ex-champion. The only recent boxer who ap- proached John L. as goat-getter was Kid MeCoy, the former middleweight champion. The Hoosier did not roar or bellow. His face always wore a sneer of contempt or disdain. John I, Sullivan's Epigrams. I made $1,500,000 and I blew it. But I don't regret it. If every one paid what ed I'd have $100,000 easy. I naised boxing out of the mire and put it on the level. Fighters now don't fight. They black-guard each other in the papers. 'When I was fighting it was to get all the money or nothing. Now the man who gets licked often gets more than the man who wins. Boxing has gone to the bad. There are too many bum fighters in the business, I was always strong with the peo- ple because they knew I wus on the level. When a man gets to be 21 and has seen a piece of the world he ought to get married. Then when he's fifty he has five or six doing something for him. . Gin mills are no good. I never liked the business. I've loan- CT OVERCOATS Large Stock to Chyose From. $15 to $28 JOHN TWEDDELL Civil & Military Tallor, 131 Princess St, One Door Below Randolph.
