One big reason for this, of
cour.se, is that Joe was younger
than any of his predecess back
to the time of John L. Sullivan,
and including the great' John L.
when he won the title. But if the
new champion had followered th
custom so prevalent m recent
years, of taking a long rest >e-
fore risking his crown, even that
early winning would not mean
so much. Joe is setting a new
style by en^ging in a title bout
