I had everything that night, and I set myself right with the fans again. Britton an Easy Mark. Next came Jack Britton. He ha 1 just arrived, bringing with him that great Eastern reputation. True, he had not done very well among the four-rounders, but the fans wers claiming that he had not got used to our climate. All he wanted was a crack at me. He. promised to wipe up the ring with me and send ma back to work in jigtime. And 1 gave him the chance. We drew a big house, and. if I re member right. Britton was. a strung favorite over me. But that was all. 1 had his number in afce first round, and I really believe that if I had cut loose in the third I would have laid Jack out and practically ended nis ring career 4 . If ever I had, a man where I wanted him, it was Britton. Maybe he will admit it and maybe he will not. He outweighed me and he was sup. posed to have science enough to make me look like a busher. But T just stood up and took a chance. In the last two rounds I measured him right. They celled for me to go In and take a chance, but T preferred to play the game safe. I remember that I had him staggering around the ring in the last round, for he was helpless. This was a great boost for me. und I realized it. In fact, it started me on a new career. I made up my mind then and there to keep on taking chances and quit playing a safe game. I began to believe that I had a knock- out wallop, and \ came to the conclu sion that the sooner I tried it out the faster I would e’o to the front if they gave me a chance. By Willie Ritchie S AN FRANCISCO, CAL., Dec. 17 — The fans of San Francisco did not seem to think much of me after the Baldwin fight. Many of ti.em accused me of having cold fe'h, and they went around town saying that I never could make good as ii twenty-rounder. I don’t blame them now, for 1 realize that I s. ould have done better against the Boston boy. In fact, I really should have knockt.fi him out. But my friends down Uoalinga way still w'ere boosters for me. Right aft er the Baldwin scrap t ey wired me to come back to th-> oil fields and take a chance against Tommy Mc Farland in a twenty-round mix-up. McFarland was roing good then. T-Io had returned from the East a few months before with the honor of stay ing ten . rounds with Champion 'Vol ga 91 The Uoalinga promoters made mo a' pretty good offer, and I decided to take it. I felt that I must show something in the way of a knock out punch if I hoped to stay w r ith the fighting game. 1 realized that Tom my was a tough nut. but 1 was in good shape after my battle with the Bostonian, and I figured that I had a chance to do something with my hay maker. I was the favorite with the fans down in Uoalinga because they knew me. But many of the sports in Ban Francisco made McFarland a favor ite over me. I heard this later on. However. I was desperate. I made up my mind to take a chance for a knock-out, and 1 never worked so hard In all m.v life as I did for that | battle, because so much depended ; upon it. Knocks Tom McFarland Out. I T stepped into thgt ring feeling like la 2-year-old. So did McFarland. In fact, we both looked good, lie star: j ed right after me and rushed me'hard. » He landed a few stiff ones on my stomach in the opening round, and T will admit that he shook m* tip. As all the local fans know, Tommy is a fine infighter, and it is hard to get at him. It was nip and tucl: in the sec ond. and again in the third. He wai strong and aggressive, and I had 10 keep stepping pretty lively, and he made me use everything in order to keep out of his way. The short-end bettors were boosting him along, and at the end of the second round he was holding me even, all right, and ho may have had a lead. The third round found me slugging with him and taking all sorts of chances. We just stood toe to toe, and went at It. I had a shade because I guess that my condition had some thing to do with it. The finish came in the fourth. It was then that I decided to take a chance and end it. if possible. I feint ed Tommy with a couple of lefts and waited for a chance with my right. He finally left an opening, and I shot over across to *he jaw. That settled It. Tommy took he count. Naturally. T felt great after that battle. I showed a knock-out wn,- lop. and I was eager to get back to San FranUseo. sign up for sume • on^ .ranua^y* 1 at the °ag* of 82 years. Boy Scouts to Hold Big Tournament at ‘Drome’ Saturday Nine troops, aggregating about two hundred Boy Scouts, are to give a big tournament. The first of Its kind ever given in the South, at 2:30 o'clock Sat urday afternoon at the Motordrome. The tournament is not to be an ath letic meet, in the ordinary sense of the word. The contests are- to be in the things taught Ihe Boy Scouts —tent- nitching. signaling by wigwag and field wireless, bugle calls, drum corps work, special drills and first aid relief work. A handsome silver cup has been of* fared to the winning troop, and there is plenty of rivalry among the various commands.

Mr. Tinker, however, will not be compelled to spend the whole season in Brooklyn. The seven other cities cn the National League circuit are in the United States. Yagotta hand it to Mr. Murphy for his gallant effort to land Joe Tinker. He was willing to spend anything but money. Mr. Murphy was runner-up in tho Tinker deal, thereby getting half the publicity without investing any capi tal. Jess Willard deserves great credit for his overwhelming victory over One-Round Davis. He outweighed his man by a bare 50 pounds. Consider what a scant margin is 50 pounds in a prize fight. Gunboat Smith does not outweigh Johnny Coulon by much more than that. In spite of his defeat, it must be admitted that One-Round Davis more than lived up to his name He lasted a round and. a half. Fortune is a finicky old dame. For instance. Art Butler was married on the same day he was sentenced to play with the Cardinals.
