stories that [ was poom o

The more the folks & 5 4 “ ¢ 1

it fitted in with §: T g 1

the belief that | 2e e S ‘
was “all in,” but ) e 3
had strong hopes that I might be able
to work it successfully with Jeffries,
And I did, |
William A. Brady, who had boenl
my manager from the time before my ‘
m& with John L., until some months |
r 1 lost to Fitz, was then the
manager of Jeffries. And it was upon
Brady that I centered my endeavors
10 get a match with Jefr, reckoning |
_that if Brady would give his consent,
Jeff would be guided by Brady's ac- |
g)‘l; 1 tried in various ways to rheet
Y, planning that Brady mus®
think it was an accidental meeting. |
. The plan worked. After Brady and
I had exchanged greetings, I sald to
him: |
“Say, Bill, why don't you get Jeff to
give me a fight ™
Brady looked at me in an odd way.
It was but natural. Bill had been fed
Mp with stories of my “has-been”
eondition and, of course, was sur
prised that I should want to fight
sweh an aggressive, powerful and
rugged fellow as Jeffries,
*Why, Jim, be'd kill you,” declared
Brady.
“I'll! take the chance, Bfil.”
. "But you wouldn't have a chance.”
answered Bill, "It wouldn't be fair
%0 you to let you fight Jaif. You're
100 old.”
Then 1 said:
*“I am a little old, Bill—that's right.
And maybe I'm not In the same con
dition that I used to be. But, just
the same, I'd like to get a fight with
Jeff, anywayv.”
While Brady was pondering over it,
I sdded:
*Bill, I put Jeffries into the busi
ness, didn't I? And you and Jeff are
on the road to fortune just now. Why
don’t you two fellows even things up
with me now by giving me a chance
10 make a little money. [ certainly
cculd use mV end of a purse”
At that juncture Jeff jolned us and
after we had exchanged grm-tlngs.l
Brady said to Jeff:
“Jim thinks you ought to give him
& fight.”
Jeflries looked at me for a second
or two and then hung his head and
looked at the floor without uttering u’
word. Finally Brady said to Jefr:
“The peopie will be expecting you !
to fight pretty soon, anyway, JefTl,
and you might as well take on Jim :‘\l
anyone else. He'll be easier for you
than the rest of the boys. Jim hasn't '
bad a long fight for necarly three
years and he's pretty old und out of
shape. What do you think of It
Jest?”
Jeff remained silent. Then I waltked
over close to him and sald:
“You ought to give me a fight”
Still Jeff was silent. The champ
: 't In & very talkative mood that
zfi I had hoped that after a little
king with him I might (nfluence
into agreeing to fight me. But
Jeff had nothing to say. So 1 made
& blg play on Brady, realizing that
After all, he was the man who would
==or wouldn't-—give me the chance to |
pegain the heavyweight championship
of the world,
"' )Jike to fight Jeff—any time
within a year,” I said, directing my
gonversation to Brady
& "How about it, Jeff " asked Brady.
* Jeff looked at me, then looked at
; ¥. He Jdidn't speak, but there
something in his eyes that gave
Jeonsent to the match., So Brady, cor

THE TALE OF JOHN SMITH,
CHAPTER |,
John Smith arose from his bed and
whistled a merry tune.
He had enjoyed a night of peace
ful slumber; he was refreshed In
mind and body; he was ready for a
day of toll,
¥lk|nq his usual bath and his us.
ual breakfast, he fared forth into the
bracing air of an autumn morning.
“This,” he sald, “is the life!”
CHAPTER I,
John Smith feit a sudden chill,
It was, as we sald, a bracing au
tumn morning, and there was no rea.
son for an n(mupherlc chill. Nev.
ertheiess, John Smith felt suddenly
cold.
Possibly It was the cold eye of the
workman whom he had just passed,
He had noticed that cold, quelttonln'r
eye as the workman had approached,
and he feit the m%m gaze as they had
passed, but what had he, John Smith,
to do with common workmen?
Presently other workmen ap
proached and passed, each with cold,
Questioning gaze, sometimes look
ing him in the eye and sometimes
casting an equally arctic lamp at his
feet.
“Maybe,” he mused, ‘“‘some of my
shoe laces have become untled.”
Hastening to the corner whereon
he was wont to catch his car he In.
vestigated and found his shoe laces
intact.
“1 wonder!" he sald.
CHAPTER I,
Flipping aboard the car he feit
himseif once more in a refrigerated
atmosphere, r
Bill Salmon, the usually friendly
conductor, gave him the fishy eye,
rang up the fare and sald: ‘“Move up
In front!"
Inside the car citizens sidled from
him as though he were a pestilence,
"By gosh!” he sald unto himself.
“They think | am afflicted with the
Spanish flu!”
And yet, as he hung on a strap and
reflected that he did not sneeze nor
wheeze nor cough nor wipe his bugle,
he realized that such was not the
case,
I wonder!" he repeated.
CHAPTER lIV.
Emerging from the noxzle of the car
he hastened to take up his daity toll,
Here, again, he feit frigid glances,
only they were more frequent. Men
in all classes of life, business men,
clerks, tradesmen, newsboys, soldiers,
sallors, all handed him that peculiar
gaze known In contemporary litera.

‘““Hevings!” he said unto himself,
and a blush of ab{:fl shame mntled
his cheek. “Possibly | have fotgot.

Ingflappnroll"
adly he dashed through the
swinging doors of a mahogany par
lor and sought the privacy of an
nntleroom. but found that all was
well,
I wonder!” he sald.
CHAPTER V.
All the gladness had passed frem
the life of John Smith.
Less than an hour ago he had
awakened In the fulsormve Joy of an
autumn day. Now he was an outcast,
a 4 parlah, an object upon which all
men cast a glance of soorn, of pity,
of questioning?
- Suddenly a great light burst upon

ped and gazed, as upon one whg
suddenly had gone daft for very Joy.
‘I gotcha, Steve!" he chortled.
CHAPTER VI.
Forth from a massive structure
emerged John Smith,
No more he wore that hunted gaze,
He looked every man, woman awnd
child squarely In the eye,
Leaning against a glant granite pil.
lar he fondled a little button which
bore the legend: ‘“‘Fourth Liberty
Loan!"
John Smith was himself once more.

AN FRANCISCO, Cal, Oct. 8 —
Willle Meehan has paused in his
trilumphant wabbiing about the
public thoroughfares to sound a voice
in the hum-dum of controversy, argu
ment, dispute, quarrel and what not
which reveal themselves as an after
math of the sensational patriotic box
ing show at the Clvic Auditorium on
V‘lfidny. the thirteenth, a hoodo day and
date jong to be remembered by Jack
Dempsey and his followers. Willie pat
ted m. fatty sides and proclaimed to
wit and as follows: i
If Jack Dempsey was the "flfihnng
champlon of the world, then Uncle Sam
now has the champion in his navy.
That he'll fight Jack Dempsey again
or would be pleased to take on Jess
Willard.
BUT the match that he prefers most
i# & bout with the kaiser at any weight
place and time.
You'll have to grant that Willle
strikes a very sympathetic note in his
last outburst. He is one of the promi
nents in the boxing line, who is in the
service, being an acting master at arms,
third class, at the naval training sta
tion at San Pedro. KEven In this hour
of his fistic greatness he did not forget
the duty to his country
Willle has clowned, laughed and been
lnughed at in his ring capers, but for
the gnce he waxes serious on a subject
which is close to the hearts of all true
Americans at this time. More power
to “Sallor’” Meehan!
In Jack Dempsey's behalf and in the
argument for a draw, it has been set
forth that he came all the way out here
to risk a SIOO,OOO reputation against
nothing to draw the money for the sail
ors and soldlers. That is all true
Dempeey did act that part of a sports
lnmn and furthermore he insisted that
a decision should be given. But it was
for a most worthy cauge and the ques
tlon of individual gain and loss should
not bhe raised at t{h time. If a deci
sion had not been given, or if the palm
had been handed to Dempsey, the pub
lle which contributed so patriotically to
the fimd woudd have been bunked.
It was tough on Dempeey all right,
but he competed on his merits and
lost. It would have been signally un
fair to let Willle Meehan, a sailor, go
through the ordeal without obtaining
'“mf reward for his great battle,
wouldn't it?
Of course, the argument will still go
on, but at this time it should not gr
pomted out that Dempsey made a sac
rifice for nothing, as he was fighting
for the sallor and soldier boys.
There were only a few in the gather
ing of 10,000 in the auditorium who
were aware of the possibility of no
meeting between Dempsey and Meehan
at the last hour Dempsey insisted on
incasing his hands in triplicate bandages
of adheslve tape. To this Moose Taus
eig, Meehan's adviser, registered stren
uons objections. The trouble was lald
before Coffroth, who in turn appealed
to the referee. Captain O'Brien of the
police force also participated with the
announcement that only light surgical
Pn.nduu were parmissible under the
aw
“Well, If Dempsey can not wear the
handages we want, there will be no
fight,' came back Kearns
+ust when Coffroth began to worry
Taussig and Mechan consented to the
bandages 80 a 8 not to delay the show
or possibly have the big attraction eall
od off. And after all the heavy band
ages made Dempsey's glove so tight
that it interfered with his boxing At

nationally famous spertsman, who |is

Han boxers are now fighting with the
British forces on the varlous battle

the promlnent pugilists in the service
the fight game at present is rather quiet
in the Antipodes, but Baker looks for
it to come back strong after the war
and saye the glove sport is exceeqlngly
po‘pular among the “Anzacs.”

American boxer with Australian fight
fans, is serving with the Australian

recruiting duty, but will seon go to
France. He has been kept,on the re

COULD PUT
GAME BACK
%y SAM CRANE.
OLONEL T. L. HUSTON, who won
his spurs in the Span sh-American
War as captain of engineers and
who has won his promotion to higher
rank in France, told Johnny Evers, who
is a representative of the Knights of
Columbus in promoting baseball ‘*“‘over
there,’* that the future ball players of
the big leagues would be found among
the soldiers of the American expedition
ary forces now fighting so gloriously and
victoriously against the Huns.
Colonel Huston is nothing if not pa
triotic and loyal to his country, and he
can appreciate better what our boys in
France have done than those of us
who are so placed that we can not be
in as close touch with our fighting men
as he is
The Colonel knows by personal ob
servation the hardships our boys have
undergone, the heroism they have
shown, and why they are considered the
world over as the best soldiers on earth.
He was among the first troops to go
to France, He led many of them. He
saw them in the trenches and on the
firing line, and his big heart goes out
to them. He is one of the heroes.
Colonel Huston knows what reward
they are entitled to, and that they will
get. It was his hope that a baseball
regiment, or a company at least, of
ball players would be organized to fight
for our country. He advocated such a
plan before he left for France ®nd after
he got there. It was a sad disappoint
ment to him that the plan was not car
ried through.
The letters he wrote from “over
there,” in which he sald baseball should
be done away with until after the war,
caused a sensation throughout baseball
dom. He even predicted just what has
since happened: that the United States
Government would cause a cessation of
the sport during the time of the war.
He wanted the baseball people to dem
onstrate their loyalty before that step
was taken
It is but natural, therefore, that the
Colonel's heart goes out to those players
and men connected with baseball whe
did enlist and are now doing their bit
That is why Hank Gowdy's picture has
a prominent place in his quarters, Hank
was the first baseball player to join the
colors,
Colonel Huston gave up his family,
friends and fortune to join the colorg.
His first and only thought was his cown
try and he has little sympathy for those
who did not follow hig axample, He is a
glorious fellow, always has been and
always will be.
We fully appreciate what he says
about the soldier boys, who will be the
star ball players of the future in this
counfry and the most popular,
Wmfid it not be most fitting for the
Colonel, after the war is over, to be
made the most prominent man in base
ball by being put in the most impor
tant executive position at the disposal
of those Interested in the game?

that the jackets Bp st e s
displayed consid
erably better form than had been an
ticipated, corsequently, their friends
are much encouraged.
The remaining one-fifth, on the
other hand, are already finding fault
with the fact that the Jackets could
score “only twenty-eight points.”
'"Twas ever thus! Last year the
same bunch went about kicking and
hollering because ‘‘Tech brought no
decent teams to Atlanta,”” and loud
would be their complaint that they
went out to Grant Field and paid their
good money to see a football match,
not a track meet. In other words,
when Tech was defeating all-comers
by anywhere from 50 to 100 points a
game they were sore about it; and
now that Tech can not defeat their
opponents by any such scores they
‘are sore again. You know there are
some people in the world whom no one
can please. However, the Jackets are
guite willing to do their durndest in
an effort to p!ea.se reasonable people;
but they will lose no sleep over in
abliity to please those who may be un
reasonable.
The game demonstrated that the
Tech youngsters have already ab
sorbed stacks of the glorious tradi
tions of play that their predecessors
have so toilsomely compiled for them,
and they seemed to realize that what
they lacked in football knowledge and
in physical attributes they would
have to try hard to make up for with
an even greater display of fighting
spirit than had been showif by their
illustrious forebears. In short they
gave some fairly convincing evidences
that they were going to be a team of
scrappers, if nothing else, and that
they will take a nasty beating be
fore being willing to admit them
selves a defeated team.
This, above everything else, pleases
your knowing coach, for ha well
knows that on such a spirit something
can be built; while without it noth
ing at all can be constructed.
While the loss of Dowling from the
line-up, and .the probable loss of
Vandergrift, hurt like the mischief,
there is one consolation in the knowl
edge that Rogers will henceforth be
back with the team. John had made
application for transfer to a training
camp and had received such assur
ances as made him confident that he
would soon be there. However, the
War Department blankly turned down
the application and told him they
wanted him to stay right where he
was. I wonder if anybody up near
the top had the slightest inkling how
good a football player John is and how
welcome would be the news around
the Tech campus that his application
had been rejected? 1 guess not; but,
at any rate, that's one piece of good
news that blew our way for once.

silitis shortly before college opened;
and this has kept him from getting
into shape as soon as some of the
rest. But he ought to be able to get
in for a while against Fort Oglethorpe
next Saturday, and we shall see if he
can once more perform on Grant Field
as he did about this time a year ago.
He's been doing it already in the few
practice scrimmages that have been
held thus far, and [ think I can safe
ly assure local fandom that he won't
disappoint.
Speaking of backs, there was little
to complain of Saturday in the way
all of Tech’s backs performed, partic
ularly Guyon, Allen, Ferst, Barron
and Adams, and now with Flowers
added we may hope to see the old
Tornado's storm center. shaping up
pretty fair after all--despite the loss
of Strupper, Hill, Harlan, Guill, Shav
er and Fellers.
The acquisition of Rogers means
that the line will be the better off by
one good tackle it had not counted
on. This will permit of some experi
menting on the part of the coaches to
ascertain whether Day, the husky
Gordon boy, who was laid up in the
hospital Saturday with influenza, will
not fit in nicely as a snapper. This
is the position he would like to play,
and it is one for which he is partic
ularly well built. Already he has
shown satisfactory snapping talent,
and about all that needs to be wor
ried over is whether he can acquire
the knack of spotting the play on de
fense and backing up the line a la
“Pup’ Phillips. llf he can, the line
will be stronger next Saturday than
it was last, for it will have more
weight. -
This is not to say that Davis failed
to give satisfaction at the center po
sition, for the contrary is true. He
did very well indeed for his first game,
and will be kept well groomed for
further rush line work. It's always
a good thing for coaches to know
where they can lay their hands on
several good snappers,
Just what kind of a team Fort
Oglethorpe will send down is as yet
hard to say. We know, of course, that
they have a huge bunch of matured
and physically seasoned men from
whom to pick; that they have plenty
of men among them who have played
football at Northern and Eastern col
leges, and that they will not lack for
excellent coaching. We expect a de
cidedly tougher game than was that
with Clemson, good though the latter
was.
Following the game with Fort Ogle
thorpe will come one on the 19th with
Camp Hancock, from Augusta, and on
the 26th Camp Gordon is scheduled to
play on Grant Field.
I think the public will agree that
we have done pretty well to whip
our reconstructed October schedule
into shape so soon after getting the
order from Washington that no col
lege teams were to be allowed to trav
el during October; and if the people
of Atlanta want to encourage us in
the matter they should signify theis
appreciation by turning out and In
spiring us with their presence. The
attendance last Saturday was all that
couid be desired for an opener, and
after the excellent showing made by
the home team there exists smal)l
reason why a still larger attendance
should not be in evidence the com
ing Saturday.
