BARDECK, Feigenspan DISTRIBUTOR, 187 ARCH ST. ’Phone 482-2, New Britain | ANNIVERS Sporto raphy “GRAVY. RY OF -TOM SAYERS, “LITTLE GIANT” OF THE RING. *Tomorrow will be the eighty-sev- enth anniversaryof the birth of Towm sayers, the lightest man who ever held the heavyweight championship, and perhaps the greatest fighter of ! his’ poundage who ever lived. The “Little Giant” was born at Pimlico, i near Brighton, England, May 25, 1828, He came of that best of all human i . fighting breeds, the Irish Cockney. In his youth he was a bricklayer, and afterward worked in a railway con~ truction camp and as a sort of bouncer at a “pub.” Sayers was 5 feet 8 1-2 inches in | height, and at his best he weighed only about 150 pounds. Although light for a middleweight, he fought | his way up to the top of the heavy- weight heap, and took part in a bat- tle for the world’s championship witi the American giant, John C. Heenan. | Tom fought ais first ring engagement at the age of twenty-one, defeating Aby Couch, ' This was in 1849, His next battle was with Dan Collins, and | Sayers was again the victor. Tom then took on Jack Grant, a veteran of many long combats, and whipped him in sixty-four rounds, lasting two !and 'a half hours. The “Little Won- der” and the “Little Giant,” as Sayers was then called, next challenged Nat Langham to fight for the middle- weight championship. This time Say ers was defeated, but not disgraced, and, as Langham refused to fight Tom again, Sayers hecame the recognized champion of the middleweights, Having cleaped up all the men in his division, Sayers, like Eob Fitzsim- mons many years later, had tp go for bigger game. ‘ In 1856 he was matched with Harry Paulson, a near-champion. | Harry weighed 172 pounds, while Tom then tipped the beam at 148 pounds. Paulson fought like a demon, and at one time the odds were three to one again Tom, but the plucky middle- weight eventually conquered after three hours and eight minutes of fight- ing. Tom's victory was a great surprise, as up to that time no middleweight had ever had the temerity to fight top- notch heavyweights. B: defeating Aaron Jones, Sayers ned more laurels, and in 1857 his backers were willing to put him against Bill Perry, the Tipton Slasher, who then held the British heavyweight title. pion was so far gone that his sec- onds tossed in the sponge, Sayers ' defended the heavyweight title against Bill Benjamin, whom he defeated in three rounds, and Tom Paddock, who. lasted twenty-one rounds. In 1859 he whipped Bob Brettle, and defeated Benjamin again. In 1860 Sayers fought the last bat- tle of his career, his opponent being John C. Heenan, an Irish-American. The contest aroused international in- terest, since the world's title was in- volved. The “Benicia Boy,” as Hee- j nan was called, was a giant in stature, standing six .feet two and a hailf inches. This fight ended in a riot, and the backers of both men claimed i the advantage. blinded and -Sayers was badly bat- tered, but neither man had any clear ring after that. He traveled with flicted with tuberculosis and diabetes, from the effects of which he died just half a century ago this year.

Rome, May 24.—Deep regret is felt by Pope Benedict that Ital has decided for a war which, as head of the church, hoped might be averted. The Holy See will maintain strict neutrality, making no effort to restrain Catholics from following the dictates of their consciences. A papal document outlining this position is expected soon. i It is announced that because of the gravity of the situation the consistory to have been held this month to fill vacancies in the college of cardinals | has been postponed indefinitly, GIVEN PRISON TERMS, Participants in lprhinz in Suburbs of | Manila, Manila, May 24.—Twelve of the| participants in the uprising on (‘hrisl_l‘ mas eve in the suburbs of Manila | were sentenced in court here Saturday | three of them ta six years in prison and to pay a fine of $5,000; six to! five year terms and $5,000 fines, and | the remaining three to four year | terms and $4,000 fines. Judge Campbell characterized the prisoners as men of the lowest class, | others who were seeking gain, monetary The Slasher weighed over 200 pounds and topped six feet by half an inch, giving him an advantage over Sayers of four inches in height and over fifty pounds in weight. The sporting public scoffed at such an un- equal match, and there was little meney bet on Tom. Sayvers slashed the “Slasher” unmercifully, and at the end of the ninth round the cham- U. S.
