"No one ever hit me half as hard as Bob Fitzsimmons," said Jim Jef- fries one day when Jeffries was in his prime. They hit them. but they curled day's work.

Fitz made several of them | turn somersaults and do other freak falls when he was winning, but when Fitz himself took the count he hit the floor in an ordinary man- ner. Fitgsimmons' knockout of Jim Corbett sti]l lives fresh in the minds of all who say it. Corbett was the first * victim of the solar plexus punch. Corbett was on one knee when counted out, blindly groping for the ropes, which were several feet from his reach. Fitzsimmons met Abe Cougle, a big Chicago bruiser, in 1891. Abie had size, weight and everything to commend him as a contender. Fitz took a dislike to him. Abe made a goad flash in the open- ing round. In the second Fitz- simmons swung his right on Abie's jaw, and Abie fell flat on his back. He did not move a muscle after hit- ting the floor until a minute or so later. He never entered a ring again. And Peter Maher also furnished a sensational knockout for Fitzsim- mons. They fought at. Langtry, Tex., a long way from home bout before a big crowd. The fight lasted a few] seconds and Peter went completely out. A flashy knockout was that hand- ed Jeff Throne by Fitz. Robert had a grudge against Jeff and promised to hand him a thorough beating.

Brown, Stand by Your Local Manufacturer, The Reo Roadster A Popular Car Np Reo model has gained greater popularity in the same length of time . Designers have striven for years to devise a seating ar- rangement for four passengers that would permit all passengers to ride between the avies. g In a word, since everybody likes to ride in the front seat, ' the aim was to place all occupants as near that point as possible. This leaves the driver's movements unimpeded by other oc- cupants and his vision clear on all sides. It is essentially an owner-driver's car--this big, handsome roadster---so in the ease the driver is usually the buyer. ! The wide seat accommodates two comfortably-----luxuriously.

One distinct advantage of the chariot race is that any number of men can participate. Then, too, the apparatus required is simple, "and consists merely of two round poles about two inches in diameter and a chariot, all of which are connect- ed by ropes. Six men grasp the first pole and four men the second several feet behind, these men com- posing a team. Attached to the second pole is 'a sled or chariot, which contains one man, . and the game consists of dragging the char- fot and its rider over a given course. When the race starts every team runs a stated distance, which covers the first lap. At this point another get of teams take up the race and covers the second lap, and the race continues as long as there are sets of relays. The winner is determined the same as in an ordinary relay race. FURNITURE Hamimo Couches, $18.00; Complete Lawn Benches $1.75; Chairs, $2.00, $3.50 and up; Steamer Chairs Canvas, $1.50, cane $5.50.
