The publio la like a mule.' It gats an Impression and It sticks to It like aiue. If the publlo ata an Impreaalon that a" theatrical rftar.ia on the wane, the boxoffloe re- centa flron off. and It mattsrs little whether or "not the aitor or actress, aa the eaae may ba, la aa goo aa averr the araarle asrainst cubllo opinion 1 too much of an up-hill proposition, and In the and the. publlo must .hav. tta . way. it la the aame way with the politician.

' The f lghter'a f rienda tell him this. He sees it written or hinted at every day in the newapapera, sand nis mtn aarara find It out- when be at ta down to talk bualneaa with the club or the fighter who la on the ledge above. Finally" the fighter ooncludes that the fiubllo must be right and that fate wllla t that' a topnotcber once beaten never ahowa hla old form again. Then he aata dlaoouraaa 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: "Success may turn my head, but falluro wiu never maao me stop trying." - i ns yeaf : I .put la : over at Shannon's was not all work.

Routine le montonous and whenever I felt myself J crowing j stale I - laid aside 'the sleeve ese . shirts and ths dust-stained road clothes and took a fling at' things In town. , . 0 A -day Or two, however, alwaya found ma hack on the ' old lob - faailna- mora nice going on -witn tne taas. or nulla ink the pyramid from which I was to eventual! look down Upon the slough or lauure. u would nave rouant ei son for an old shoe. J knew I was the better man and I wasted a chance to show the Mlssourlan. I saw Qans and Nelson ngnt la uoidneid and I mane up my mind I oould beat the both of them. J am over one hurdle- and am now facing the other. Moat people would laush If I told them I consider Oana made to order for me and that I believe that I will knock him out be fore the end of 10 rounds. . I don't want to boaati I am coins: to beat Mr. Oana and then retire for at leaat a year. I have worked hard and am entitled to it Expects to Beat Oans. Oans la a fast two-handed flsrhter. who has become marvelously expert aa a result or nis rears ana yeara or Box ing. He has had more experience In the ruiff than any flghter in the world, but tniut i am speedier ana nave more vitality than Oans. The 41 rounds that ha went through with Nelson were slow. Nelson and I went mora than double the clip that Nelson and Oana did at Goldfleld. It Waa mora of a wrestling match, with flashes of open fighting nera. and there than anything else. i I am hitting: hard enourh to flatten anybody I ret a sou are walloo at and rmy body punch la the "one beat bet" against a reiiow like oans. or course. I won't nit mm as rreeiy ana as orten as i ma rueiaon, out then 1 won't nave to. There la only one Battling Nelson in the world. ' He certainly has It on them all playing that "punching .bag" role. At that If I had not tacltlkgreed to fight a careful, heady light X would hav knocked Nelson cold, I could have made a spurt and knocked him out any time after the twelfth round. Of course, I would have been taking a small chance, but I .had my plana made for the battle and I carried them out If It was anybody elae on earth except Nelson thev would have caved in under the terrldo beat ing early In the fight I never hit a man ao hard In my life aa I did Nelson. Every time J walloped him In the body ha groaned Inwardly. He ia aa game a bor as It la possible to be and he de serves mueh credit from the publlo. He .

V -' 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. ' "WTim vnn flarura tha whole thins down, sal a Mr. joraan one nignt, mr are only four punches that are worth a 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. . , V A A SKaae-Matln laaa St f TTsk TTrf Tt X til ItTllU t,V M saw -w "" until about the ?5th.

There was lierer moment in my ngn wiin nwnon mti drew a hard breath, and I never tired, win h in flawless ahane when I face joe uana, takes tha life out of tou. banda tou over, and sickens you with pain. The fourth Is-the cross counter. The man who has the eye of a fencer Is the man for this punch. It reoulres speed. dlreotlon and force to get results and la a dangerous punch. , "I pick four punches like this be cause they are the most dangerous. There la no reason for a man to either swing or uppercut Either of these 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 man under the chin In close I'll tell you it shakes him up and more than once I've seen it start a man towara aereat, "Do I consider Thomas a better hit ter than OansT No: Oans is the great. 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 , - JOTOIlllie HOTES Boorobers, know thy oops! ;rv'V',-' : Vl.

His mile record beat that made by himself at Winnipeg two days before, by four and a half seconds, and his three-mile record was 18 seoonds faster than that of bis previous Winni peg record. A keen observer on ths recent A. A.

They have done away with the pump and yet they do not overheat Surely factory designers must be hidebound not to grasp a good principle when they find one."

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.
