T lay on my back in the middle of the all but buried me in a shower of hats, caps and overcoats. Not gifts, but an expression of their enthusiasm. The home boy had cleaned up the last of the trio of hated invaders. Then I took a whirl at every old thing. T punched cows, tended bar, logged, drove team, jacked at all trades. T wasn't afrald of work. Never was. For one thing I kept going. 1 never bought a railroad ticket in those days. That was against the hustler’s rules.

T sn't particular where I rode just so I rode and got somewhere: Sometimes now I sit in a Pullman drawing room and have a quiet chuckle for old time's -sake. And I can't say that I am happier. There was something bracing about the ex- citement in the risks and daring of the old life. You don't get the kick out of the “easy come.” Long Fighting Stretch. T drifted back to fighting on my own, ranging from Frisco to Butte, to Spokane and back to Frisco. I fought Kid Parker in Denver, Tommy Tracy at Vancouver, Mysterious Billy Smith at Portland and others at Butte, Montana, finally going back to Canada to even old scores. I guess I crowded around that period. T picked up Freddie Weeks and set out to manage them. Weeks was a good man. He beat Monte Attell and many of the leading bantams of the day. I whipped through Cali- fornia with my palr of aces and Abe Attell fought' Weeks, knocking him out. Then 1 picked up Dick Hyland, and started touring with him, taking along Cyclone Johnny Thompson always a handy man around the stable. Percy Cove joined the outfit. As a traveling company we were not a permanent outfit but we were always Aghting. We drifted back to Sacramento and there Hyland Jost a decision to Johnny O’'Keary. I advised Hyland to give up the ring. He was about through and he took my advice. He joined the fire department and never fought after I quit the fighters. I opened up a cafe in San Francisco called “The Breakers” at Ellis and Mason. Spider Kelly had a place on the opposite cor- ner and Johnny Crowley was sand- wiched In between us with a place called the Black Cat. (Copyright. 1926.)

The winner was timed in in 18 hours 41 minutes, for an average speed of 836.08 yards per minute. A total of 828 homers from 206 lofts, representing 20 cities in all parts of the United States, were en- tered in the flight. Texas,” Florida, New York and Illinois were among the States represented.

C., July 22 (P). —“Dock hockey” is flourishing at Hekate, Nootka Island, among the fish camp workers, and interest in this newest of sports is rapidly spreading on the Coast. Emplo{u at the fish plant at Hekate include many ice hockey players. The dock game is played on & broad wharf flanked by & shed on one side and a 15-foot drop into the salt chuck at the other. Regulation hockey sticks are used but the puck is a cork float from a fish net. Intercamp matches are played every evening. The game is strenuous with the added thrill of a fall into the ocean as a sporting chance. 0LD PRO GRID LOOP SCORES OVER RIVAL By the Associated Press NEW YORK, July 22.—The National Professional Foot Ball Clubs, by gain: emerged victorious from one of the first important tests with its newly or- ganized rival, the American League of Professional Foot Ball Clubs by gain- ing an agreement for the use of Eb- bets Field as a Brooklyn playing site.

FUGAZY ONLY RIVAL OF TEX IN GOTHAM By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, July 22.—Humbert J. Fugazy, former boxer, has become Tex Rickard’s only real rival as a pro- moter of big fights in New York. As a fighter himself and then as a manager of two world lightweight champions, Fugazy gained a knowl- edge of fistic affairs. Fugazy's latest show, the Delaney- Berlenbach title bout, for which he outbid Rickard, ranks among the first half dozen in the list of biggest money cards in ring history. It drew nearly a half million dollars. Under the ring name of Jack Lee, Fugazy fought many of the great lightweights, He was at the height of his career in 1904 and 1905. The most successful product of his early coaching was Freddy Welsh, lightweight champion from 1914 to 1917, . o Fugazy later piloted another light- weight champion—Jimmy Goodrich of Buffalo, who lost the title to Rocky Kansas.

F. Clements, president of the Coliseum Club, that he held a contract for Dempsey to fight Harry Wills, negro challenger, assigned to him by Floyd Fitzsimmons, and he would take steps to enforce it. He maintained the con- tract was valid, but that was disputed by both Fitzsimmons and Dempsey, who claimed that money making the paper binding never had been paid. Indications were that the Dempsey- Tunney match would meet with no op- position from the State boxing com- mission. Tunney will come west In two aveeks and establish’ a training camp in the Wisconsin woods, Dempsey is expect- ed here around August 1, and his headquarters likely will be on the lake shore, a few miles north of Chicago. Dempsey's last fight was against Luis Firpo in New York, September 14, 1923. The probable location of the match 1s Soldier Field, on the lake front; it will be 10 rounds to a referee's de- cision; the principals will divide 55 per cent of the gate, which Rickard expects to mount to near $2,000,000, | and $100,000 will go to & charity fund. /& MOTOR CO. 1333-37 14th St. Main 5780 is sold everywhere in tidy red pound and half-pound tin humi- and pound crystal-glass humidors with sponge-moistener top.
