PAGE EIGHTEEN Does Mr. J arvis Know His Own Voice ? It all happened one night up in the cop- per region of Michigan. Harold Jarvis, the popular Canadian singer, happened to be on a concert tour through that country, and a young lad was playing the Victor-Victrola Record 'Beau- tiful Isle of Somewhere' (Mr. Jarvis' great hit) on a phonograph, in the hotel where he as stopping. Recognizing the song, Mr. Jarvis 2 fustied upstairs and into the room: at is that you are playing?' asked] Mr. Jarvis. 'Beautiful Isle of Somewhere,' Harold Jarvis" replied the lad." "Why I can't believe it!" exclaimed Mr. Jarvis, 'l never heard my voice reproduced 80 beautifully before! What phonograph is it?" replied the lad, "Which sung by "The Brunswick," plays all records." -- Then the lad had to play it again, to his complete enjoyment. Upon his return to Detroit, Mr. Jarvis looked up the Brunswick dealer and asked him:to play hie record, that he might again enjoy it, and theri and there voluntarily gave the fo lowing testimonial to the tone quality of the Brunswick. : (Mr. Jarvis' Letter) The tone of the Brunswick was a revelation to me. The unmusical, metallic phonograph qualities to which we have been accustomed so long, seem to be entirely eliminated in the Brunswick phonograph. The vocal records particularly have a sweet full richness of sound wih the-very vibrancy of life. I was, of course, particuluarly interested in the reproduction of my own records on the Brunswick, snd can truthfully say that 1 have never heard them played as nearly Yifelike on any other instrument... Particulariy in my recording of "Beautiful Isle of Somewhere," the Brusswick phonograph brings out the shadings that I never knew were possible in a reproducing instrument. It hardly seems possible that it could be the same record Your very truly, HAROLD JARVIS. (Mr. Jarvis was born in Toronto, Canada.)

Was the Great Goat-Gete ter of Boxing. | The profession of pugilism bas | produced many novel characters, but among them all John L. Sullivan stands unique. As a "goat-getter" the Old Roman of the ring has never had. and probably never will have a equal. Most men were whipped the minute they crawled into the ring with John L. The fer- ocious gleam in his eye, and his bellowing voice which sounded like the snort of an enraged bull, put fear into the hearts of his antagon- ¥sts, and turned their blood to water, This quality was never better iMus- trated than in John L's fight with Patsy Cardiff which took place at Minneapolis 31 years ago to-morrow. Cardiff was a master of the pugilistic Wrt, but he was lacking in brute courage. Sullivan broke the radius Mf his Ueft arm early in the conflict and was at Cardiff's mercy, but the latter lacked the nerve to follow up his advantage. John L. glowered at Patsy so ferociously and threatened him with such a baleful eye, that poor Cardiff was actually hypnotized. The. bout went six rounds to a draw Thera were only two men who ever called 'Sullivan's bluff, 'and who re- fused to he bullied into submission. The first was Charley Mitchell, the English boxer. They met in Madison Bquare Garden in 1884, and although the British was a much smaller man than the Irish-American, he treated John L. with supreme disdain. The police interfered in the third round, after Mitchell .had knocked Sullivan through the ropes and almost off the platform, and it was not until 1888 tiiat Mitchell and Sullivan fought again, in Chantilly, France. Again the Englishman refused to be bluffed, and the battle went thirty- nine rounds to a draw. In 1892, at New Orleans, John 1. 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 . roared definance, snorted contempt, glared and charged and rushed in wild fury, but the lith 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 approached John L. as a goat-getter was Kid McCoy, the for- mer middleweight champion. The Hoosier did not_roar or bellow. His face always wore @ sneer of con- tempt cr disdain. In a law, smooth voice be goaded his opponengs with cutting, sarcastic remarks, and then, when anger had robbed them of rea- son, sent in the sleep punch, High Prices' Foi' Horses, Lexington, Ky., Jan. »17.--The sale of the racing stable, track and farm equipment belong to James W.

The average good golfer, after one glance, can tell you almost t6 a step a 145 or 150 yard range. He must know distances in order to play the shot properly, and the man ver who. misjudges the distance in golf is sure to pay the penalty.

LEWIS IS A HEBREW. Welterweight Champion Was Born in London, England. Ted Lewis, the welterweight champion, has won forty of his bouts by the kmockout route, mak-! ing his percentage of knockouts twenty-five. He has been defeated less than half a dozen times, and has only been knocked out once, that be- ing soon after 'he started in the business. Lewis was born in Lon- don, England, on October 24, 1896, is a Hebrew, and his real name is Gershon Mendeloff. He fought ten bouts in 1910, thirty in 1811, thirty- four in 1912, eleven in 1913 and a similar number the next yean. twenty in 1915, nineteen in 1916, and twenty-five in 1917. Lewis has started the New Year by winning two more, and 'is booked for at least half 'a dozen to take place within the next month. He holds a world's record for fighting. most scraps in th mited period, having fought seven xers in fourteén days last year, one of these being Albert Badoud, European welter champion, whom Lewis defeated by the K.O. route in'one roupd. Canadiens Still Lead. Canadiens still lead the profes- sional hockey lehgue. They have five 'wins and two losses on the sheet. 'Torontes victory over Ot- tawa makes their card read six vie- tories and three defeats. A win at Montreal on Saturday night will put Torontos ahead with sévea victories and three losses to five wins and three losses. The zig-zag schedule makes it difficult just to figure out whio does lead the league, because whe teams will not be on 'even terms in games played umtil the season ends. Saturdays game, Torontes at Canadiens should--and probably will---settle all controversies. henna idem fibn Soldier Scoring. Twb. soldier footilrteams were recently playing .- a sbuthern camp.
