By Alex. Sullivan. WU read from time to time all ' kinds of stories about come- backs in the sporting world, but the gFeatest.of them all is Jacl Britten, former welterweight charm- pion, who won and lest. a title long after he was thought to be through as a boxer, It was only the other night in Madison Square Garden that Britton defeated Ted Lewis, the man won won the championship from him. The remarkable thing about Brit- ton is that he has been boxing for sixteen years, This is the lengthiest career of any boxer now before the public. He has battled im fact-about as long 48 any man who ever drew on & glove, but. the. point that. is the most impressive about his record is that he is stil bexing well, if not better, than at any time. ‘That Britton is now boxing in top- notch form is not only proved by the manner in which he outpointed the clever Lewis the other night, but the easy way he recently defeated Bryan Downey, the speedy Western welterweight. Prior to his bout with Britton in Boston Downey had won something like a dozen bouts in @ row. Britton outclassed him, So well is Britton boxing now that he has many friends who think he will defeat Benny Leonard, whom many declare the greatest lightweigMt that ever lived. Leonard is the lad who knocked out both the wonderfully clever Freddie Welsh and the hitherto invincible Johnny Kilbane. Britton and Leonard are meeting for the second time in a six-round bout at Shibe Park, Philadelphia, to- morrow night. Britton thinks he will defeat the world's champion. He is Making 141 pounds ringside for the popular army boxing instructor, “What's the secret of my come- back?" said’ Britton in reply to a query while he was going through his training stunts at the West Side | | Chub. “It's this: I finally got onto |mywelt after years of knocking around, I resolved, largely through Frank Baker of Yankees Are Leading in Team Batting With an Average of 475.

He started boxing in 1902, He received bis nickname, Jack Britton, upon leaving New Britain, Conn., for Philadelphia. Ho was a quiet lad. Nobody scemed to know his name, but they had heard where he came from, so they called him Jack Britian, When he entered the ring he changed his surname and called himself “Britton.” Britton did a lot of fighting around Philadelphia, and was glad to pick up “eat money” for these contests. He drifted out to California, and the cleverness he displayed in cdntests there was commented upon by papers all over the country When Britton landed in New York he didn’t have a cent. He was int duced to Morgan, who had then won a big name for himself by winning @ fortune for Knockout Brown, Irit- ton asked Morgun to handle him. His first fight under Morgan's man- agement Was against Eddie Murphy of Boston, and he scored a knockout. This bout took place in 1912, and he has been going along meeting all since. The occasions that he has been outpointed have een few and far between. Packey McFarland did it in Madison Square Garden before a house which figured $30,000. Ted Lewis has done it once or twice. Freddie Welsh, when he was cham- pion, always sidestepped Britton, Britton says that he has had 353 battles, Two years ago he won a referee's decision from Mike O'Dowd, the present middleweight chan pion. He says he'll fight anybody from 199 to 156 pounds. aeeienenaiie: BOUTS FOR PERSHING FUND PROVE A BIG SUCCESS.
