Frenchy has a long list or victories and has maul ed some of the nation's best. In cluding Hilly lidwards, Abe Cole man, Hob Kruse, Al Karasicn, leu Thye and othera,. 1evitt is one of the Jacksonville matchmaker's favorites, having wrestled for him when Jimmy 'O'Brien was interested in the mat game in the state of Washington. Realizing the Frenchman's ability, O'Brien has been holding him hero for future performances. "The l'hantom" is in the best condition for months and has caused young Frlsbie to go Into bard training to uttemiit to avoid defeat, the last one of which was recently suffered in Medford. Frlsble's flying scissors arc ex pected to be used to advantage. If this hold is once obtained an opponent is taxed to the utmost to escape.

Ho had come to help Tunney prepare for tho title shot. Alone of the small crowd in tho dressing room ho thought Gene could whip Dempaey, - Man of Destiny "Tho Almighty,' he said, look ing down into Tunney 'a face, you to lick Dempsey. You are tho champion." Tunney looked up nt Uronson, serious faced, earnest. For a mo ment he thought he was being kid ded. He realized ho wasn't. He greeted Jim's hnnd tight. "There are just two men who believe that,' he said, and ut that moment tho man of destiny of the priz ring came Into being. "Tunney never doubted after that that he woutd heat Dempsey. He flew to the scene of tho fight in Philadelphia. "If I changed planes twice in the air along the way," he told Jironson, "still nothing could hap pen to prevent my winning the championship." One Plan for Baltic He slept in his dressing room, waiting to be called into thring before 100.000 deriding faithful for tho biggest opportunity of his life. The only plan of battle he had was one sentence from Bron son: "Tho first time Dempsey cocks his left hook, break your right arm if you can on tho first punch to tho chin." In the first round Dempsey drew back the left. Tunney threw every thing he had into a right. It land ed high on tho side of the man mauler's head. Dempsey 's knees sagged.

He dis likes parties and social Pairs. One of his sisters is a nun. Deeply Religious Tunney grew up in a hardy neighborhood on the west side of Xew York but always ran with the "white collar" boys. He was deep ly religious and ambitious. He paid the guurunte.es of two preliminary fighters who had been banned from the Heeney card be cause they had been his sparring partners. He refused to foot a $200 check foisted upon hi in by friends who summoned him to their. hilarity In a Miami cafe for the sole purpose of handing him tho bill.

He refused an offer of (10,000 to endorse a cigarette. "I don't smoke," he said. He stood at the rail of a trans port coming home from France, talking to Eddie Kgan, who was coming back to school. Kgan had won the inter-allied middleweight championship. Tunney the A. K. K. light-heavyweight title. Kgan wanted Ciene to go to Yale with him.

(U,',.lmol Iocal sportsmen are not taking kindly to allegations carried in tho Oregon Journal and to some ex tent In the Morning Oregonian of Portland, to tho effect that the state legislature utterly disregarded the rights of the people In voting tho Rogue river cloned to commer cial fishing. The Journal makes the statement on ground that a measure to close the stream by constitutional amendment lost nt the last general election, and edi torially declares that It is nt a loss to understand how 'thu legislative body could bring about a closing measure In defiance of the people's wishes. However, the paper fails to remember that the measure lost by a narrow margin nnd that its defeat was largely due to tho fact that closing of the stream was In the form of a constitutional amendment.

With hatching season in full Usway In state rlsh culture stations, I Wisconsin Js now importing 2,- 000.000 brook trout eggs from the ! Rneky Mountain wilds of Montana, 'where the young fish dine on mus ' tang meat. I The diet for baby fish in Mon tana has been mustang liver and meal, hut faced with a shortage of that vigorous fare, the stato is ex perimenting with other ingredi ents. The mustang supply is last decreasing because of canning fac tories which export the delicacy of mustang flesh to European coun tries. New Mexico, confronted by a depletion of tho beet liver supply due to the human consumption of liver since America went "vita min conscious" has solved this problem by weaning tho young fish from the liver menu after the first few weeks and giving them straight horso meat. "Though reduction plants in gaged In manufacturing chicken feed nnd dog food arc making seri ous Inroads Into our horse supply also, we anticipate no serious pinch in this direction for a. long time," said E. L. Perry, secretary of the New Mexico department of fish and game. Tho paper also forgets that the Rogue river was closed to commer cial interests by a hugo majority. 20 years ago at a general election and that the legislature, heedless of that majority for tho closing of tho stream, passed legislation to reopen the river and the battle which has been In progress for years and which is believed not yet to have reached the end.
