holstering, but on the mattress that can be placed over the springs, thus
making your bed as comfortable as a full-sized regulation bed. Joe

SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. II (Special.)
Jim Corbett's heavyweight wbllo
hope, Tom Cowler, can leave San Fran
cisco for the Antipodes with the O. K.
stamp as a good prospect. Drsptto tin)
fact that Cowler had an advantage or
some 25 pounds over Rudle Peterson,
of tho Olympic Club, tho Lnglibhman
was put to a decidedly srvero test this
afternoon in the gymnasium of tlie
club. Peterson Is a tearing sort of
fighter, awkward to hit, and Cowler
came away from the tliroo-round bout
with flying colors.
Cowler Is green, of course, but thcr.
are msny points In his favor. Taking
the milling purely on Its merits Cowlr
would have been returned th victor,
for he left a decided mark on Peterson s
right eye in tho cloning round, and
further than that had Rudle urln
around tho ring with none too clear an
idea of what was happening. -
The Corbett protege was Inclined t
lake things easily In the first round.
Peterson, too, was laying back, accord
ing to instructions, but he rallied at tlie
closo and surprised Cowler with some
stiff lefts to the body and head. In
the second round there wa little worth
relating, but Cowler's right uppercut
showed staggering force In the last
chapter. The newcomer Is rtmarksbly
fast on his fee.t for so big a man anrt
shapes up like a boer. Ho la fast wllh
his punches sni aprarejitly has a sur--ply
of good nature, which usually Is a
good asset to any fellow who ts llke'y
to be stung once In a while.
Cowler evidently carries a aoo.l
punch, although he must needs laarn
some of the finer points In delivering
It with better effect peterton cover..!
up a great deal, so Cowler could do
little with his left and had to await his
opportunities with a right uppercut.
On the whole. If Cowler is brought
along in eary style, he may have a
bright future: and Corbett Is the best
tutor in tbe world.
