That's the only ; way to ex plain It. There had always been - :- some sort of an .'Idea back In my mind that I'd like to be a cham pion. -1 guess -every boy has that no tion. " But 1 badu't followed the Idea up. Working and .hunting took all of my time now. There was a welter weight lighter named Billy Gallagher at the works. He was a good one In his day a good clever fighter. 1 Billy was always after me. : He said I had the making of a great heavyweight and that I could get a pile of easy money for fighting Instead of pulling down a few dollars a day by hard work. ' Billy, was enthusiastic over it, but 1 myself couldn't see where fight ing In a ring could touch hunting deer 'or mountain Hons as a sporting pronosi- - tlon, and I didn't seem to care much for getting money by punching other ' people on the nose. I guess I was- too good natural, and, for that matter, I ' never have gone into a fight with much spite toward the other man. Some of my best friends today are the men who have fought me in the ring and been knocked out. One night a heavyweight fighter who . lived In Los Angeles, a big, lanky ne gro named Hank Griffin, wandered In to a saloon where some of the boys . spent their evenings When the day's work was ever. He leaned on the bar . and began to talk about fighting, as all these fellows do. , Griffin was a very good man la those days and had fought nd beaten a lot of biff fellows all as i KAS n l Btuif nuaa oft vt ',. COAT, ' ' . through the west. ' Onr fellows knew bis reputation, but when he began to boast they didn't like It, and when be threw a handful of gold twenties on the bar and said bed back himself to knock out auy man In -the town they rot tore lit lu a corner and talked It over. ' They decided that youug Jef fries was about the only man within reach equal to the negro In also and strength. In a few minutes they seut man running to my house to call me . out to fight. ' - It didn't take long to explain things . In about a minute I was (earing back With tbeui. , As 1 ran 10 through the door I began nulling my coat off, ready to fight hlin there on the spot. But be explained that there was a slight tnls- ' nderstandlue. He dldu't want to flabt offbaud Ilka that. He meant thai be could whip any mau In town In ring with gloves on bis bands aud with a referee. That was what be meant. He'd like to fin lit ma thai way and we might as well both make a little money out of It. ' That was a new notion to me, but It suutulrd food. Tbe bora offered to back in with a bet, which suited Grim a well enough, judging from tbe way be grinned. Gallagher wanted me , to tght too. In abort, we fixed up match on the spot, aud I went home and sl tt like a log until the alarm clock ran in tbe morning. Thre wasn't snythlng to worry over about the kl a of B(htlng a professional, lie dUlu't look to terrlhle, Ind bealdee that I never did crellt Ix-ifroes with much f .Ming ability and Bainenese. I'.aiy (Jnllnghir wanted me to go Into training for the fight. Which Was to be lif ld in a bnll In town.' But I wouldn't do It I went right along with my work snd let Crinin go Into tmliilng. On the nU-ht of,th f'-t I wnt a'Ht';-' t home frern work a little tr'.j 1 at a p"ii il'iiiicr. Then I s- r-l C n tn the tin II. The !")' wr-rs ttn-re '; 'J, Wli tl B .t of Other people that I nerer saw before. Ail the ware lit, and in the middle of the ball a regulation boxing ring had been put up on an elevated platform. : - ' ..We both got stripped for action with-1 out much delfiy. Before I went out to tbe ring thex pulled, the gloves over my hands and tied them on, I can remember just ' bow funny boxing gloves felt tb me. I never had a pair on before In my life. My hands felt so big and clumsy that I didn't know what to do with them, ' .- We got Inte-the-ring. Grlffln was a tall- fellow, all sinewy muscles from bead to heels He wore a wide smile Like a hungry -man sitting down, to a good dinner.- But he didn't look very dangerous. . I'd seen stronger and big ger men in the shops. The lights and the people Interested me more than be did V ". "..a'V:-f. ': '-r-fV ' V ' At last - time waa calle and'. e walked together ' and ; shook - hands. Then I got the surprise of my life. Al most before I bad my hands up he hit me an awful Smash on tbe nose.' You can talk about being hit on the. chin or In the stomach o'r on tbe ear, but let me tell you that a blow oh the nose hurts- more than -any of. them. - It makes your eyes fill and blur, and you wonder If your nose Is flat' A blow on the nose either makes a man want to Stop fighting or it makes him mad. It made me mad. I forgot all, about tbe boxing gloves on my bands for a mo ment aud tore after that coon to break him in two. I weiit for him just tbe way I've seen the bulls rush at the matadors in the Mexican bull rings. That was Just what TJrlffln wanted. He was a boxer,, aud I was a novice. A boxer can play with a novice, as n rule, imd never take a chance. What that negro did to me during tbe next four or five rounds was a.' shame. He punched me all over tbe ring. He land ed on my uose and my eyes and fny chin as be pleased. He just walloped away as fast as he could bit, and I surely did see stars. As for landing on him, I couldn't have hit hlin with a whip. ' . . . . . ...,(. - ': But after a few rounds I recovered from my surprise. I took stock and began to figure. Here was a man lian dllng me lu a way I'd never dreamed of. Thlswusfbe the boxing skill that Gallagher had told me about Grlffln was bitting me where he pleased, but he couldn't either dase me or knock me down, and I wasn't tiring at all. The thing for me to do' was to find out how he did it to get the combination and then pay him back In his own coin. And I felt sure that if 1 could ever land on bliu he'd drop; , :- , ' I cooled off as 1 began to think. 1 stoDned rushing at him In blind bull fashion. Grlffln thought-l waa tiring and he began 'coining-trme Instead for awhile be peppered me as bard as ha could, trying to put me down. At each blow started I studied out tbe Way he delivered It. Now and then 1 tried one of his blows In return; but as a rule, he either blocked or ducked pleverly or stepped aside a little bit and. countered me on the chin. Tbf wav he could land on me made me feel foollsb-lt made me feel helpless And yet all tbe time I knew that li the end I'd knock hlin out. I felt sure Of that - . '. - I was' learning now In every round In fact I think more knowledge of tbe fighting game came to me tluit night than In a year's boxing that roiiowea In eight 'or ten rouudslie negro be gan to show signs or growing tireu Ha was wearing himself out trying t beat me down, and his blows dldu't hurt. 1 could feel the difference uow There didn't seem to be tbe same weight and sting behlud tbe punches when they landed on me. 1 began Walking Into him slowly without at tempting to strike a blow, just boldtnr my bead forward, crouching a little with my right hand up near my chin and tbe left atuck , straight out in front ' I learned that lrkk In m first fight and afterward It won the championship of the world, for me Tommy By an never showed me thai "crouch!" It was my natural way of fighting. . ' . Now that be waa tiring tbe big be gro baffled me by sticking his left band Into my face with light jab holding me off. 1 nsed my right hani nearlv all tbe time, only jnbblng oi bla bead now and then with the left for as be battered, tue I bad leiimeO something aud bad planned a way tr win. I wanted to settle Mm with oue sure punch. I've always liked to win my fights that ay. . It was bard to get tbe opening I waited for. GrltUn wall still fast on bis feet Ills cleverness puzxled tne Wben I saw a cbaure It bad passed before I could get Into action. In my coruer after the thirteenth round my second said: "Jim, It's 11:30 Tbe lights go out at 12. Go after blui now or you'll loa your chance and he'll get tbe doclalon on points.' .,"111 g?t blra," I said. Wa came up for Ufl fourteenth. Griffin was weary, but unmarked. 1 was cut and brulaed and battered, but lust as at .-one aud fresh as at tbe Start Moreover, I bad begun t'jat fight without any Idea of what gluve I fighting In a ring meant, and by tbia i time I had learned something. I be- i . gao forrlng my way In, walking steaa lly toward Orimu and making blm bark away as be jnbled at me. I straightened up a little and let him bave a good opeulng for my chin.
