not been able to f i (
trick Fitz into a i 4wt ¥
match with me in ;1% |
the ‘belief that I T N |
was “all in,” but ) e e v |
had strong hopes that I might be able
to work it successfully with Jeffries,
And I did. :
William A. Brady, who had been
my manager from the time before my |
fight with John L., unti) some months
after 1 lost to Fita, was then the
manager of Jeffries. And it was upon
Brady that I centered my endeavors
to get a match with Jeff, reckoning
that if Brady would give his consent,
Jeff would be guided by Brady's ace
tion. 1 tried in various ways to meet
Brady, planning that Brady mus*
think It was an accidental meeting.
The plan worked. After Brady and
1 bad exchanged greetings, 1 said to
him©
“Say, Bill, why don’t you get Jeff to
give me a fight? |
Brady lcoked at me in an odd way. |
It was but natural. Bill had been fed
up with stories of my "has-been”
condition and, of course, was sur
prised that I should want to fight |
such an aggressive, powerful and
rugeged fellow as Jeffries,
“Why, Jim, he'd kill you,” declared
Brady.
*“T'll take the chance, Bill.™
“But you wouldn't have a chance,”
smswered Bill, “It wouldn't be fair
to you to let yvou fight Jeif. You're
too old.”
Then 1 said:
“T am a little old, Bill-—that's right.
And maybe I'm not in the same con
dition that I used to bhe. But, just
the same, I'd like to get a fight with
Jeff, anyway.”
While Brady was pondering over it,
I added:
“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
to make a little money, [ certainly
coculd use my end of a purse”
At that juncture Jeff joined us and
after we had exchanged glqwllngs,'
Brady said to Jeff:
“Jim thinks you ought to give him‘
a fight” |
Jeffries Jooked at me for a second
or two and then hung his head and
looked at the floor without utfering u 1
word. Finally Brady said to Jeff:
“The people will be expectig * vou
to fight pretty soon, anywg” off,
and you might as well take on o .t 43
anyone else. Jlu'll be easier for ,\uu‘
than the rest of the boys. Jim he ™
had a long fight for nearly t |
years and he's pretty old and out of |
shape. What do you think of it,
Jefr?” |
Jeff remained silent. Then T walked
ovar close to him and said: |
*You ought to give me a fight'" |
Still Jeff was silent. The champ
wasn't in a very talkative mood that
day. I had hoped that after a little
falking with him 1 might influence
him into agreeing to fight me. But
Jeff had nothing to say. So I made
a big play on Brady, realizing that,
after all, he was the man who would
~—or wouldn't-—-give me the chance to
regain the heavyweight champlonship
of the world,
*“l'd like to fight Jeff—any time
within a year,” 1 said, directing my
conversation to Brady
“*“How about it, Jeff ?” asked Brady.
*“Jefr looked at me, then looked at
Brady. He didn't speuk, but there
was something in his eyves that gave
eonsent to the match, So Brady, cor
rectly interpreting Jefl's look, saidsto
me.
S “All right, Jim; we'll give you a
fight within a year.”

THE TALE OF JOHN SMITH.
CHAPTER I. |
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. \
Taking his usual bath and his us
ual breakfast, he fared forth into the
bracing air of an autumn morning. 1
“This,”” he sald, “is the life!”
CHAPTER 11,
John Smith felt a sudden chill.
It was, as we said, a bracing au
tumn morning, and there was no rea
son for an atmospheric chill. Nev.
ertheless, John Smith felt suddenly
cold.
Possibly It was the cold eye of the ‘
workman whom he had just passed. |
He had noticed that cold, queltlonln:
eye as the workman had approached,
and he felt the frigid 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 untied.”
Hastening to the corner whereon
he was wont to catch his car he in
vestigated and found his shoe laces
intact.
“I wonder!" he sald.
CHAPTER Il
Flipping aboard the car he feit
himself once more in a refrigerated
atmosphere. ‘
Bill Salmon, the usually friendly
conductor, gave him the fishy eye,
rang up the fare and said: ‘““Move up
in front!”
Inside the car citizens sidled from
him as though he were a pestilence.
“By gosh!” he s3.'d 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 IV. !
Emerging from the nozzie of the car
he hastened to_take up his daily toil.
Here, again, he felt frigld 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.
ture as the Once Over,
‘““Hevings!” he said unto himself,
and a blush of nbLec( shame mantled
his cheek. “Possibly | have fotgot
ten to fasten a button on my wear
inx‘apparel!"
adly he dashed through the
swinging doors of a mahogany par
lor and sought the privacy of an
anteroom, put found that all was
well,
“I wonder!" he said.
CHAPTER V.
All the gladness had pussed from
the life of John Smith,
Less than an hour ago he had
awakened in the fulsome joy of an
autumn day. Now he was an outcast,
a parlah, an object upon which all
men cast a glance of scorn, of pity,
of questioning?
Suddenly a great light burst upon
him,
“Aha!" he cried in a wild, exult
ant voice, and those about him stop
ped and gazed, as upon one who
suddenly had gone daft for very Joy
“I gotcha, Steve!” he chortled.
CHAPTER VI
Forth fro a massive structure
emerged Joh&muth.
No more he wore that hunted gaze,
He looked every man, woman and
child squarely in the eye,
Leaning against a gilant granite pil
lar he fondled a little button which
bore the legend: ‘“‘Fourth Liberty
Loan!"”
t John Smith was himself once more,

By FRED A. PURNER.
AN FRANCISCO, Cal, Oct. 3 —
Willie Meehan has paused in his
triumphant wabbling 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 Civic Auditorium on
Friday, the thirteenth, a hoodo day and
date long (o be remembered by Jack
Dempsey and his followers. Willie pat
ted his fatty sides and proclaimed to
wit and as follows:
If Jack Dempsey was the "nghling"‘
champion of the world, then [/necle Sam
now has the champion in his navy. K |
That he'll fight Jack Dempsey again |
or .would be pleased to take on Jess
Willard |
BUT the match that he pgefers nmstl
is a 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 tralning stu«'
tion at San Pedro. Kven in this hour
of his fistic greatness he did not forget
the duty to his eeuntry. |
Willie has clowned, laughed and been |
laughed at in his ring capers, but for
the once he waxes serious on a subject |
which is close to the hearts of all true
Americans at this time More power
to “Sailor” 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 geputation against
nothing to draw the money for the sadl- |
ors and soldiers, That is all true.
Dempsey did act that part of A sports
man and furthermore he insisted that
a decision should be given. But it was
for & most worthy cause and the ques
tion of individual gain and loss should
not be raised at this time. If a deci
slon had not been given, or if the palm
had been handed to Dempsey, the pub
lic which contributed so patriotically to
the fund would have heen bunked
It was tough on Dempsey all right,
but he competed on his merits and
lost. It would have been signally un
falr to let Willle Meehan, a sailor, go
through the ordeal without obtaining
some reward for his great battle,
woukin't {t?
Of course, the argument will still go
on, but at this time {t should not be
pointed out that Dempsey made a sac
rifice for nothing, as he was fighting
‘for the sailor 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
\nn\v(ing between Dempsey and Meehan
at the last hour Dempsey insisted on
ineasing his hands in triplicate bandages
of adhesive tape. To this Moose Taus
sig, Meehan's adviser, registered stren
uous objections. The trouble was laid
before Coffroth, who in turn appealed
to the referee Captain O'Brien of the
pollce force also participated with the
announcement that only light surgical
:mndax»s were permissible under she
aw.
“Well, if Dempsey can not wear the
bandages we want, there will be no
fight,” ¢came back Kearns
+aßt when Coffroth began to worry
Taussig and Mechan consented to the
bandages s 0 as not to delay the show
or possibly have the big attraction call
ed off. And after all the heavy band
ages made Dempsey's glove =0 tight
that it interfered with his boxing At
least, that's the opinion of KEddie Gra

now on the Pacific coast, 875 Austra
}Ylan boxers are now fighting with the
British forces on the various battle
fronts of the world war., With most of
the prominent pugilists in the service
the fight game at present is rather quiet
in the Antipodes, but Baker looks for
’n to come back strong after the war
and says the glove sport is exceedingly
popular among the "Anzacs.”
Jimmy Clabby, the most popular
American boxer with Australian fight
fans, Is serving with the Australian
soldfers. At present he is engaged in
recruiting duty, but will soon go to
lFrunoe. He has been kept on the re
[r-ruulng detail much longer than the
average man assigned to that branch of
work, says Baker, because he has been
remarkably successful in obtaining men

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 leaguas 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 nat pu-\
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
servution 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.
l Colonel Huston knows what reward
,thry 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 Tnd 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 said 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
i Colonel’'s heart goes out to those players
and men connected with baseball who
| did enlist and are now doing their bit
That is why Hank Gowdy's picture has
In prominent piace in his quarters. Hank
was the first baseball player to join the
| colors, !
l Colonel Huston gave up his family,
friends and fortune to join the colorg.
| His first and only thought was his cowun
| try and he has little sympathy for those
‘who did not follow his example, He is a
| glorious fellow, always has been and
always will be.
We fully appreciate what he s:l?'s
about the soldier bbys, who will be the
' star ball playes of the future in this
| country and the most popular.
Would 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?

Play Hancock and Gordon
ROBABLY four-fifths of the At

sus of opinion °\ e U
that the jackets _‘;_:j__‘_*‘ ‘
Aisilivelt oobsids T T
crahl,v better form than had been an
icipated, 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
hullefling 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
quite willing to do their duskndest in
an effort to please 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 shown 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
iy(our imowlng coach, for hd well
nows 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 Deparlment 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 footbhall 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 fer once.
And then Flowers will be in the
game next Saturday. What Flowers?
Why the little chap who raised such
- hob_with the Tech line a vear ago. At

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 hn-_rn
held thus far, and I 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
111 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 wili 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
hospitabk 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. If 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 Kknow
where they can lay their hands on
several good snappers.
Just what kind of a team Fort
Oglethorpe will send down is as vet
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 Kastern 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 Oectober; and if the people
of Atlanta want to encourage us in
the matter they should signify thei+
appreciation by turning out and in
spiring us with their presence, The
attendance last Saturday was all that
cou'd be desired for an opener, and
after the excellent showing made by
the home team there exists smail
reason why a still larger attendance
should not be in evidence the com
ing Saturday.
