All rights reserved. CHAPTER X. I START AFTEn THAT CHAMPIONSHIP BY SEATING! SOME EASY ONES. S Boon as tho big flgbt at Carson was all over Corbett was rush ed off to San Francisco on a special train. They had Intend ed to get him there In time for n big reception, but thai was nil off, of course. The snow begnn to fnll again In the afternoon. Without waiting to see the other tights that were to go on at 2 o'clock Charlie White and 1 left the OLD BILLY JORDAN WAS MASTER OF cnumnxii:.-!. arena and went for a long walk through the buck streets of Carson. We wore half stunned by the unex pectedness of If all. " Charlie White and I walked down the streets and around comers for a long time without saying a werd. I was thinking the fight over round by round. After awhile I stopped and asked: "Charlie, are those two really great heavyweights?" "My boy," said White, "today " you have seen the two greatest men that ever met In a ring." I stopped to think that over, but I didn't feel convinced. "Do you think they're so great?" 1 asked : "I've followed the game since I was a boy." said White, "and these two are the best men I've. ever seen." "Then I'm going to be champion of the world." I said. "I can beat either of them, and I know It." I might not want to write this down here if it wasn't so easy to prove that It wasn't coheeit that made me say It I made good. I beat them both. I was going back to San Francisco light heartedly enough, for I had a light on hand myself. The match with Van Busklrk had been signed up again. Billy Delnney had plenty of time to attend to my affairs, so he be came my manager, The Van Busklrk fight was dated for April 0, three weeks after Corbett and Fltzslmmons. I remember the Van Busklrk fight for one thing that still strikes me as a good Joke. When I went over to tho pavilion that night with Billy Delaney the only thing thnt worried me was tho idea that the tight might go twen ty rounds and 1 might miss the last boat back to Oakland aud lose n good night's sleep. I made up my mind to finish Van as quickly as I could and try to get the 11:45 Narrow Gauge home, which would land me only n couple of blocks from the house before midnight, But In the dressing room I noticed thnt Delaney was fidgety. lie had a face a yard long. "I'll bet you an oyster loaf. Billy," I said, "that I get this fellow Inside of six rounds " Well, to get down to business, we were callPd out at last, and 1 met Van Busklrk face to face in the ring. I shoved hltn about a Utile as we came together and then began punching him around the ring. It can't have been much of a fight, for the only thing I remember Is that In the second round 1 thought 1 might as well finish him and start for that boat, so I walked into Mr. Van Busklrk and slipped my favorite left hand body punch Into his middle nnd knocked him out. Billy Delnney bought the oyster loaf As Van Busklrk had been amateur champion of the 1'aclflc coast and had beaten a number of heavyweights In professional fights, he was regarded as tbo coast champion, and that title now come to me. I was left In undisturbed possession of the field but for a heavy weight from the enst. He was Henry Baker, nnd we were matched to fight on May 19. a month nnd ten days after my scrap with Van Busklrk This Baker was a real fightor. He bailed from the stockyards In Chicago, where he was known as "Slaughter HOUSEHOLD REMEDIES A A Are a blessing to the vast army of uvor . -people who five In rural districts, the safeguard of Amer ean women and such standard medicines as Ly- tor all diseases peculiar to their sex dla E. Plnkham's Vegetable Com-1 0 pound, which- bag stood the teat of Try & Journal Want Ad. House Baker." He nnd done a lot of good lighting all over the east, how ever, and Just before coming to Cali fornia had benteu the groat Dan Cree don. So there was somo credit In fighting hliu. The Baker fight was hold In Wood ward's pavilion in San Francisco. . It was a curious thlug that two coming world's champions fought that night Joe Gaus and myself. Gans was matched 'to fight Miko Lconnrd twen ty rounds. Gans and Leonard went on first. Gnus won tho decision. But to go buck to Baker. I must say that the stockyards champion gave me good, hard work to do. In the ninth round I got htm. I hooked my left into his body nnd lifted him up In tho air u couplo of feet. Then I knocked him out with a left hand punch on the jaw. Baker was as gaino a man ns I had ever met. Gus Ruhlln's manager, Billy Mad den, was at the ringside on tbo night I boxed Baker. Ho bad Just arrived on tho coast with Ruhlln nnd Stevo O'Donnell. Bcforo the contest Mad den Jumped into tho ring and chal lenged tho winner for Ruhlln. He wanted to make the challenge sound good, and on the spur $f the moment he called Gus "the Akron giant" Tho name made a hit with the crowd, and It stuck to Ruhlln from that time on. Douglas White of San Francisco, who was interested in boxing then, went to Madden and asked him if he thought Ruhlln could stay three rounds with me. "Stay three rounds!" exclaimed Mad den. "Yes, and he'll lick Jeffries too." "Oh. don't give me that stalll" said White. "You can make the winner's and los er's end whatever you like,'' said Mad den. Thnt convinced White. Ho had al ready asked Delaney, nnd now ho sign ed Ruhlln up, and the match was on for July 10 at tho Mechanics' pavilion, then the most famous arena In the world. According to tho articles. Ruhlln was to got S2.ono If he beat me and $300 If he lot. I worked on percentage, 40 per cent of the gross receipts win or 20 per cent lose. Ruhlln trained with Steve O'Donnell nt Blnnken's rondhouse out on tho San Bruno rond. on the Frisco side of tho bay. I went to Billy Delaney's In Oak laud again. Old Billy Jordan, who Is over seven ty years old now nnd has followed the fighting game steadily since he was twenty, wns master of ceremonies. Phil Wand of the Olympic club was referee. Right at the start Ruhlln surprised me a little by rushlug In with a couple of swings. I made him miss and Jab bed him with my left. In the second round I punched him hnrd and had no trouble nt all in landing. Delaney thought I had Gus going. As I started up for the third Billy said. "Now go finish him. Jim." I stnrted out to make short work of tho Akron giant, but here I got a now sensation. As Ruhlln and I came to gether I looked past him nnd saw Billy Madden leaning across the edge of tho ring nnd looking In under the ropes. I was Just nbout to roach out with my left when Madden suddenly yelled, "Akron!" Ring! Ruhlln was In on top of me like a ton of rock. Before I knew what was coming he was batter ing away with both hands and ham mering me off my balance and against the ropes. He hit me some great punches, I'll say that for Gus. As soon ns the fourth began I rushed to close quarters myself nnd swung both hnnds on Ruhlln's chin. GuS was rattled for a moment, and over in his corner Billy Madden was yelling "Cleveland!" so loudly that I could hear it above all the noise from the crowd. Gus bucked away and as 1 followed him Jabbed ino hard on tho nose. I pushed In against tho Jab and Bwung my left for his Jnw as If I was swinging a club. It caught Gus across I SLIPPED MY I'AVOUITB Ucf"T INTO HIS j MIDDLE AND KNOCKED HIM OUT. the face, and ho went down as if he had been shot. He took a nine second count. It wns all rough fighting from that on. Along In the mlddlo of tho fight I nearly got the Akron giant again. I lauded two or three hard rights over his heart nnd swung the same hand on his Jnw. sending him staggering, tint lio wns landing on me with both hands, too. From thnt time until the olghteonth he outboxed me without getting Into any dnugerous tulxups. When I came out for that round I hit up the pace and kept planting my right over Ruhlln's heart until he weakoned and lost his speed. Iu the twentieth 1 tried my best to finish him. and in the last minute of the round 1 landed on his head with my left so hnrd thut the blow knocked him flat nnd gave blra a very bad ear. It npurlv broke mv wrist, too. nnd the next day my forearm was badly swoll en from the offect or tnnt one mow rtnhlln was nearlv out when the last boll rang, but the reforee considered hia cood work all through the bout nnd called It a "draw" In spite of two knockdowns.
