BIG CROWDS ARRIVE FOR TENDLER-DUNDEE FIGHT; DEATH CALLS "GERMANY" SCHAEFFER DAY OF REAL SPORT "Jocko" the Sailor! Sinbad of old, would fall down and worship my old tfrlend John S. Fanning of New York city, whose experience beforo the mast in the capacity of "Seal Shoot er", carried him to the frozen zone on many different voyages; introduc ing him to many exciting adventures, which he tells in a most interesting manner. One of the most expert trapshots in America, he is well known to the shooting fraternity. Jack sailed out of the port of San Francisco, to the seal rookeries near Pribiloff Islands, in Bering Sea, and has four voyages of approximately ten months each to his credit. He is replete with authentic adventures, which fell to his lot during these voy ages. On one of his trips aboard the "Arctic" a 135 foot "New Foundland Bank Fisherman," he saw and graphi cally describes a fight which he wit nessed between an octopus of un usual size and a sperm whale. Let him tell it himself. "The first inti mation we had that there was a sea battle under way, was unusual agita tion of the waters (off our port-bow) soon to be lashed into a foaming mass, by this fight to the death, between two monsters of the deep. We approached until our boat was nearing the danger zone, where we stopped and watcljed for an hour the most aggressive and defensive fight ever staged. The long arms of the octopus, would swing into mid air, in his attempt to gain a strangle hold. At that time the whale would stand on his head, spinning and per forming unhoard of stunts in his efforts to crush his adversary by the weight of his body or tho swinging of his tail, apparently ac complished and the octopus sank beneath the waves, leaving the sur face of tho water, dyed a dark red color, while numerous pieces of the arms of the sea spider, were seen floating about. The whale had won the fight."—Perhaps some thoughtless person had awakened "Jocko," at any rate it is a good story.—On this same voyage the "Arctic" put into the harbor of Portage Bay, Alaska, fpr water. The captain instructed the seal shooters to go out in quest of fresh meat, as the adjoining country abounded in large game. Shooters always paired that they might be of assistance to each other in case help was needed. On this hunting trip ashore, Jack ■was the shooting mate of the cap tain's brother, who was an excellent shot, they agreed to hunt close to gether as Alaskan grizzly bear were reported quite numerous in that lo cality, being the most courageous and dangerous of the grizzly family, —hunters' safety, depended upon numbers and timely assistance. It •was snowing and Jack was soon sep arated from his hunting pard, ex pecting to Join him at every turn of the trail. He plodded along, doing his own thinking and conjuring up way of successful bear attack. As he rounded a knoll, he was greeted with a growl and a mountain of bear flesh reared on his haunches, to better locate poor Jocko; then with a suc cession of grunts, he immediately charged the enemy with a full head of steam. Jack could neither run or cjimb, ho must fight this onrushing desperate monster. His rifle was put In action, every bullet was placed where he thought it would have the most deterring effect, yet the on slaught was unchecked and the bear getting nearer every Jump. Every time the rifle spoke, there was a momentary hesitation in the bear's mad rush, but his foot seemed to be on the accellerator and his pace was quickened, ho added speed to guttur al growls, while his course toward Jack, was "as the crow flies." "Jocko" had fired his last shot.—no time to re-load, —his rifle was empty and M PurW^iencl^l^Yv mhtu n%J> (Jiocola}eTlav6rl f J Scientifically Correct SUPERIOR SAFETY INK It insures your hooks, hank ac counts, ami valuable documents.

SATURDAY EVENING, worthless. He drew his large sheath knife and a 44 Colts revolver, ex pecting to fight to finish at close quarters, with the chances in favor of Fanning "taking the count." The bear was then coming head on with mouth wide open, blood could be seen mingled with the froth which encirclecl his mouth. All of the sail or's past life, centered on his short comings and transgressions, all an open book to be read as the bear ran. A steel trap placed in Jack's mouth would have caught his heart. One last chance was his. Oh, God. give him accuracy. The bear was within ten feet and continuously com ing. His Cults revolver was his Salvation Army. The bullet from the Colts entered the bear's mouth crash into his brain. He fell at Jack's feet —dead —a trembling mass of non dangerous flesh. Every shot fired had taken effect in the bear's throat or breast, yet failed to stop him, showing the wonderful vitality of a seasoned grizzly. "Jocko the Sailor" lives to make Sinbad look like a sell ing plater. Question. Is it practical to raise rabbits for the market, please give what informa tion you have on rabbit raising? MILTON GREGORY. Milwaukee, Wis. Answer. Rabbit' farms are becoming an in dustry. California has a large fur rabbit farm, where the meat is pack ed as tin-potted hare. Hamilton, Canada, has a Black Serbian Rabbit farm, for fur and meat. They at times attain a weight of 14 pounds, they grow rapidly and breed pro fusely. One doe will produce about 100 young in eight months, the meat can be produced for five cents per pound, the pelts arc a good quality of rabbit fur. Our Jack Rabbit, which is classed and hunted, by our western ranch owners, as a farm nuisance and killed off during the "Jack-rabbit round ups" by the million is declared by Department of Agriculture a s good game meat when fresh and that the game when corned and smoked are preferable to German goose hams. Question. Is the fur of rabbits utilized as a practical fur for wearing purposes, is it sold as rabbit fur or under an other name. FRANK HUNLEY. Evansville, Nl. Answer. \ • Great before the world's war, imported each year 70,000,000 to 90,000,000 rabbit skins, home pro duction added 30,000,000 more. More skins of rabbits were collected and sold annually than of all other fur animals combined. The better kinds of rabbit skins are used for making fur garments which, when made up are commonly sold as "cony," often under other trade names. White rab bit skins are made up as Arctic fox or sheared in imitation of ermine. Giay rabbits are dyed black or brown and become "Baltic black fox" or "Baltic brown fox."' Seal-dyed they become inland seal, coast seal, elec tric seal or near seal. Reputable furriers avoid such names and sell the goods as rabbit or cony. These garments, are handsome and com- j fortablo but having little durability, j are therefore cheap.

RO I,LER With Interest running: at a high pitch over the coming heavyweight wrestling match at the Chestnut Street Auditorium Tuesday night In which Dr. B. P. Roller, the famous surgeon wrestler, will tackle Tom Draak two falls out of three to a finish, there are many fans who have asked the same question, "why does Dr. R.oller, a man rated with the best surgeons In the country, con-, tlnue to appear in professional wrest ling matches? < The fans who attended the Lewis- Roller match here a short time ago were given a short talk by "Doc" and are fully acquainted with Roller's reasons for continuing the ancient sport. A large percentage of the athletes die young, this i s no doubt due to the fact that after following the game for a certain length of time they drop out of training. An ath lete who follows a game as strenu ous as wrestling develops the heart and lungs to about twice the normal size. Exertion, caused by long hard fought contests demands greater cir culation, and to obtain this the lungs grow in proportion to the heart. When an athlete breaks training, ceases to do hard work there is no use for the enlarged heart and lungs, consequently, the tissues die. Tu berculosis frequently contracted in just this manner has caused the death of not only the wrestler, and boxer, but the runner and football star as well.

While being an advocate of all clean and manly sports Roller has always befen partial to the ancient sport of wrestling. Roller, who has taken active part in nearly every kind of athletics, including boxing, baseball and wrestling asserts that there is none which can compare with the latter for health and even personal protection. It is Roller's greatest pleasure to appear before a good high class au dience, such as always turn out at matches in which he participates and this combined with his knowledge of athletics and their effect upon the human body when carried on to ex cess is the direct cause of remaining I in the field with the professional grapplers. Draak, who is champion of Belgium and Holland, wrestled Roller in 1916 at the New York tournament for two hours, the match called a draw. He will meet the noted physician here next Tuesday night in a finish bat tle, best two out of three falls, at catch-as-catch can stylo.
