He sees it written or hinted at every

He generally throwa himself open to
the aasy-g-olns bohemlan Ufa that la
held out to publio characters, and then
that la the finish. After a long siege
of this be concludes that he Still has a
fight left In him. and, without suffi
cient training, he entera the ring with
aa ordinary fighter and geta licked.
That ia the Invariable finish and dud-
llo opinion la at the bottom of it I
made up my mind two yeara ago when
line Nelson knocked ma . out that
X oould beat him. I knew I made
Batt
mistake when It was too late. I studied
the fight over and took good cars to
duck the publlo opinion snare. I made
up my mind that the adage "fighters
never opme back" was a delusion and
that It would take more than one beat
ing to convince me that It waa time
to put on the carpet slippers and let
am wuuuri arrow. i
Brti -hte W.
In my own mind I never allowed the
Impression to get a foothold, that It
waa ail over. Instead I made up my
mind that I had much- to learn about
the fighting game, even though every
body thought I knew it all. It waa a
tough Job out I never let go. X went
about the thin systematically. For a
whole year I bit over thoaa Marin
county roads at least three times a
week and during that time there was
never a week that I did not do at
leaat two or three days' work In the
gymnasium.
I could note the Improvement In my
ability from the start My strength
waa not impaired that dav at Colma,
Instead I made up my mind that I
would take hold of the situation Ilka a
bulldog and never let go till I had ao
point' In my career.-but I turned it to
advantage to myself Instsad of . being
swaUowed up In the whirlpool of popu
lar fallacies. I am a better fighter
twice over today' than I wee the day
my sun seemed to sat at Colma. ;And
t intend to get better. .
y. Train! Train f Traiat
It la a bit of a hardship of course,
because I like the good things of life,
but the publio . pays me well for my
work. I once wroto In., these ' columns
after the Colma f lent - these. , words:

I could have made a spurt and

THERE ARE ONLY FOUR GREAT
PUNCHES, SAYS BILLY-JORDAN
. S , . V ,,,, , ;"
Blily Jordan, the famous "AH right
ist r go" boxing announcer, of Ban
Francisco, Is a crank on the game, but
a real lover of the sport who admires
the masters and champions for what
they can do. Having followed ' boxers
rmm tit flava or jem juaca to tne orea-
ent day, what Billy aaya about the
game is quite Interesting, and ahould,
after all these years, be about the right
dope.- He-is 71 years old now, and aays
he feels aa though he wiU Introduce
four br rive more cnampions 10 audiences-before
they start the count on
him. '

thing to a man. ah Deginnere ana
third raters use anything they think of.
but a man with class never takes a
chance except with the proper punch. A
fighter has to be as careful with his
nanas as a aoioier in Dame ia wivn nia
gun. His banda are his weapons and he
must be on the lookout
"Tha four punches I ipeak of are
these: A right. to the Jaw that Is, to
the chin and with his best hand, which
Is usually the right. He puncnea wiin
a downward slant and no man In the
world can take It and recover quick
enough to avoid a knockout Another
Is the left to the stomach. Tou are on
mint hlnnkina- with the rirht. and atlll
punch where there la little chance of
hurting yourself. The next Is the right
under the heart That la the punch that
la worth more than all the others. It
always gave them a light ana allowed
no loafing. . ,

"I pick four punches like this be
cause they are the most dangerous.
There la no reason for a man to either

blows Is dangerbus for the man who
uses them end he is gambling with fate
for a broken hand. There is one way
to upper cut, ana tnat is close in. aa
Joe Thomas does. When you Jolt a

it shakes him up and more than once

est hitter I ever saw. He never wastes
a punch and uses the right one, and
nis aireciion is perreci. nt is me mas
ter of fighting, if there ever was one.
Thomas, I think, with a few years of
experience, will be the greatest fighter
in tha world. He Is cool sll the time, a
terrible hitter, game to the core, and-
clever.
"Do I think there la a man In the
world who has a chance with Jeff? Not
on your life. No, sir, Jim Jeffries Is
the greatest man the world ever saw.
I'm talking of heavy weights, mind you.
Of course, Jeff Is not as fast as Oans,
but for a man weighing over 180 pounds
he la a marvel. HltT Say, let me tell
you Jim Jeffries was afraid to hit a
man with all his might Tou know
what a lacing he got from Fits in their
last fight and how he looked? He had
seven stitches taken in a cut over his
eye and when he knocked Fits out he
used about half his steam and at that
put a lump on Fltss side as big aa your
hand and fractured a rib. All his knock
outs were done with left-hand punches.
Suppose he let fly with his right as
hard as ha could. Why, he'd kill a
man.
"No. I think It Is foolish to trr and
match anyone with him for a finish
fight. XThe big fellow hss never been
staggered In a- fight He's too strong
and tough for these little fellows we
now have In the heaw-weight class. I
think Jeff will be heavy-weight cham
pion until ln beard la white and that
he will never see a man who had a
chance with him."-' wr,,-:. a , -

The hot .days are gone the dust will soon be laid and the roads made compact by the early showers,
and then there will be several MONTHS of PERFECT OUTDOOR WEATHER. You will lose the greatest pleasures of the
most beautiful season in Oregon unless you have an automobile now. Autumn is the time for long rides through the country

; In June of this year a 24-hour endurance race was held at Minneapolis. The
Mitchell Runabout won first place in the $1,50) classdistancing all competitors
and making the best economy score. It is to be noted in this connection that
THE MITCHELL was not the most expensive car in the $1,500 class, as the
Mitchell Runabout sells for $1,500, and other higher priced cars were entered
against it, but failed to make so good a showing in this race. All touring cars
were entered in one class, and the Mitchell Touring car won second place, the?
first place being taken by a 45-horsepower machine costing $4,500, which is more
than twice the cost of THE MITCHELL. Yet THE MITCHELL was only 29
miles behind the winner, THE MITCHELL covered 1,009 miles in 24 hours, ,
thus beating the world's record by 183 miles. '
.We also ask you to remember the record of THE MITCHELL in the recent
Portland-Salerri Endurance Race. THE MITCHELL was the fifth car to leave
Portland and the first to get back, fnaklngr tha run. without an. interruption, win

We Have $ome Rare Bargains in Machines Slightly Used for Demonstrating
Do you want "an automobile that has been tested
and found reliable? The Mitchell Motor Car, not
only in the case of individual cars, but THE
MITCHELL as a type of machine, is known the
whole country over as the car that, judged by pre
vailing automobile prices, is worth more than, it sells
for; and we now" have in stock a few machjnes that
have gone through the severest tests and are proved
to be individually cars of faultless construction and
highest efficiency. Through the ' summer we have
used these cars for demonstrating purposes, selling
unused car's from our stock, backed by our guarantee
to be equals of the cars used in demonstrating. Now,
as our stock is about closed out we are Rising this
space in the papers to announce that our demonstrat
ing cars, along with others, are for sale ; and the man
who wants a car of tested value and proved worth will
be fortunate to get one of them. It will be advan
tageous for you to examine these cars without delay.
It does , not seem 'necessary to say much in detail
of the reasons for buying at this time of the year.
The beauties of Oregon in the autumn are well known.
It is worth the price of a MITCHELL the most rea
sonably priced, car on the market to have the radius
of a hundred miles or more for one's pleasure-ground.
The automobile is a necessity to the man who wants
to make life most enjoyable for his family. j trip
through the country this fall .in the easy-running
'Mitchell Touring Car would be, a delight to old and
young and would do more to restore the failing health'
of an invalid than any treatment the doctor could '

We only ask an opportunity to lay the facts of the
situation before you. A ride in THE MITCHELL,
