WELLS BEATEN IN FASTER TIME. CHAPTER XXVIL By Georges Carpentier, (Qopyright, 1920, by United Feature Syndicate. All rights reserved. Reproduction prohibited.) Wells' nervousness communicated itself to the audience. .His seconds had used filve minutes in putting the gloves on the British fighter's hands. I started the fight with a rush, de- termined to. get inside his guard very quickly and get to work on his abdo- men. He swung at me with his left and missed. He followed with a right swing that barely reached my face; but did not do any damage. I slipped under his arms and drove my hands one after the other to his stomach. Just as in our first encounter I felt Wells flinch. His legs quivered. The referee ordered us to break, and, as we stepped back, Wells dropped his hands to cover his middle. At him 1 went again, and, although he strug- gled hard, I managed to work myself inside. Blow after blow I shot home and Wells slowly stiffened, tried to pull away. I decided the real moment had ar- rived. Stepping back momentarily to get my bearings I shot my left and right to the spot just below the junc- tion of the ribs. Wells sank to the floor and was counted out. It was the most thrilling victory of my life up to that moment, I was so happy § choked. I had beaten this big man the second time. My own happiness, however, was blotted from my mind a short time later. 1 helped take Wells to his corner and, recovering his senses, the Englishman was sitting on his stool, tears running from his eyes. It was pathetic. Out in the crowd English patrons of the club and the few Frengh sporismen who were present were cheering me. Wells rose from his chair, raised his hand for silence, and said: “Gentlemen, it was the ambition of my life to defeat this boy. But I could not.” Turning he stepped from the ring and walked down the aisle. A little man detached himself from the throng about the ring and rushed aft- er Wells. Reaching- the big fighter he stopped in front of him and shouted: “Coward! Coward! Coward!” It was Jim Driscoll, himself a for- mer English champion. His face was twisted with emotion. He was so wrought he could only stand and shout. Wells stopped and smiled sadly at the little man. “Don't Jim,” he said, “I am not a coward. He beat me fairly.” \ And he passed on to his dressing room. It was a very hard fight for Wells to lose so quickly. If he had lasted a few rounds it would have been more satisfactory. This was the most successful fight in my career up to this point. I re- ceived 77,500 francs for my share, a princely sum. Pat O'Keefe, genial Irishman, was my next opponent, and I disposed of him in two rounds on January 14, 1914, at Nice. I rested three months after this, and then was matched with Joe Jeanptte, the American negro, who had again come to Paris. Americans will agree with me, I think, as to,the fine fighting quali- ties of this negro. 1 considered him at the time of our meeting about as near a world’s champion as existed aside from Jack Johnson, the cham- pion himself. Theretore, I did not feel so keenly the fact that he was given the decision over me. I believe 1 won the fight and have been told by many persons the same thing. In fact, judges who gave the decision atterward told me that I should have received the verdict. Nevertheless, he is credited with the victory, which, after all, is all there is to it, as you would tell me. Jeanette was most eager to meet me and readily assented to the match. My victory over Wells had made me immensely popular and 6,000 persons were present when we stepped. into the ring at Lunar Park, Paris. With me this fighting of a negro was a serious business. Jeanette is a particularly fine-looking specimen of his race and I found myself watch- ing closely the contrast between the two of us instead of devoting my mind to the business on hand. This was a serious mistake and I found it some effort to shake off the in- clination to continue it. 1 did recover my composure, how- ever, in sufficient time to make up my mind that I would make this fight an aggressive one. ¥ resolved that if T were to win from the negro it would be necessary for me to fight him very hard and fast.

Robins Beat Pirates. Pittsburgh, June 16.— Burleigh Grimes, the Dodgers' spitball hurler, returned to the game here yesterday afternoon, when the Dodgers opened a series with the Pirates, and his pitching proved to be too much for the league leaders, who lost by a score of 7 to 3. Grimes showed no 11l effects of the injury he received in Chicago when he was hit on the thumb of his pitching hand by a bat- ted ball. Cooper started against Grimes and lasted only six innings.

Chicago, June 16.—Benny Kauff was here yesferday to see Commis- sioner Landis, who had asked him to come on from New York to talk over his case. Judge Landis, after the conference, said there was noth- ing to announce in the matter of Kauff’s application for reinstatement. “Don't get the impression that I am prejudiced against this boy, .for I'm not, but there is another inquiry to be made before deciding the case,” said the commissioner. Judge Landis also talked to John McGraw about Kauff's case. “If Kauff is reinstated,” said McGraw, “my attitude toward him will be the same as toward any other player in good standing.” T PORTABLE STEEL RING.

Providence, R. I, June 16.—Brown lost to Yale, 5 to 4, in a ten inning game here yesterday before a com- mencement day crowd of 8,000.

Flint, Michigan, June 16.—The Bos- ton Americans must pay $1,000 to the Brantford club o! the Michigan-On- tario baseball league by Junc 19 for player Orme, according to a ruling by K. M. Landis, commissioner of baseball. Word to this effect was re- ceived here today. Orme was sold to Boston for $2,- 000, one-hal! to be paid when the player reported. He reported and took part in four games. His record showed he batted .333, made four runs, drew threa bases on balls, haqd eight putouts and. made no errors. Orme then asked for and received permission from the Boston manager to go home because of the illness of one of his children. The Boston club claimed the player left the club at Detroit and returned home. The commissioner held that “inasmuch as the player departed from the club with the manager's permission, grant- ed for a perfectly good reason, the claim of the Brantford club must be allowed. Orm now managing the Brant- ford club. . JOIE RAY WINS RACE. Chicago Flier Comes From Behind and Captures One-Mile Event. Boston, June 16.—Joie W. Ray. of the Illinois Athletic club, national amateur mile champion, won a special one-mile run at the Harvard stadium yesterday in the athletic games held in connection with the c enary celebration of the Boston English High school. His time of four minutes 30 seconds was con- sidered good in view of the high wind which was against the runners on the straightaway. Jimmy Connolly of Georgetown uni- versity, intercollegiate one-mile cham- pion, finished second, and R. E. Brown, running under the colors of the B. A. A., third. Ray went ahcad at the start but Connolly jumped him in the first quarter and led until forty yards from the finish when Ray, who had been somewhat protected from the wind by running at Connolly’s heels, 100k the to Catch a Fish UNTANGLES SNARL R LING ‘DECIDES To TAKE OFF FLY "PARMA BELL” AND PUT ON BASS-ORIENO HOOK CAUGHT, ON SEAT oF BOAT SPENDS FIFTCEEN MINUTES MAKING CHANGE o0F BAIT BASEBALL IN A NUTSHELL| LU ARTHA WINS TG AMERICAN LEAGUE.
