1 Pirnrh Heavyweight I'linmplon.
LOXlX>N, Nov. f?.?After .'ill that has ?
been said in England. in Paris, in |
-.America, that I would wriggle out of (
the fight with Joe Beckett ?it has all i
been so very amusing. perhaps now ;
?and then annoying. for there was a j
suggestion that I was timid, afraid),
you friends of mine will. I hope, believe j
"mo that 1 have begun to train harder j
and with more earnestness than I have .
-ever done in my life.
For a Jong time I have been at :
Guerche. a quiet, straggling little {
place some 150 miles from i'nrie. where
there is but one cafe, almost no it're,
no liusilf or bustle. quiet always. >\ itn
me has been Kddie .McOoort}- and his t
trainer Cibson. and many lighting men.
My training here has given me many
more pounds in weight. I scale seven- J
tv-eight and one-half kilos, or. as you ,
would say. 173 pounds, which is ;
heavier than 1 wa? when I met your
Pick Smith in my first tight for five ;
years Those who know me would not ,
have it that I am unreasonably optim- j
istic, but 1 am sure that if all goes ;
well with me I shall, when I meet Joe i
Beckett at the Holborn Stadium on l>e- ;
cember 4. be a better man physically {
than even 1 was.
Served Fl*e Yram In Army.
When 1 took the rtng against Crun- ;
boat Smith I was still growing. I
was not a man full grown. Now I am
twenty-five, and I am not going to j
have it, sa.id that, although I spent five i
years in the army, and during that
time never had the gloves on in a
serious fight, 1 a:n like Jim Discoll
about to "coine back."
1 make this confession readily, how
! ever. When I fought Dick Smith at
the Cirque de Paris 1 suffered a strance
ness that 1 have never experienced be
fore; the crowd, the cheers, the fiar
ing lights, the knowledge that I was
free to box again after many long days
"When I doubted 1 should ever be able
to do so again, brought uneasiness to
me: I wobbled and felt sick inside; and
? there were moments when my eyes
were blurred and 1 could not find a :
sense of distance.
H candy to Meet ncekctt Now.
It was only when the fight was over ;
that 1 gained a normal frame of mind. ?
Since then, in the privacy of my gym
nasium, 1 have had many fights, no ]
mere sparring bouts, and today 1 feel |
?physically competent to take the ring 1
tomorrow against J?xs Beckett. T al- j
?most wish the combat was tomorrow.
This fight wit-h Beckett. 1 know, will j
be one of the hardest ever. May I
.make this confession? When in the i
early part of the year I signed articles j
to meet the best heavyweight in tlreat i
'.Britain, 1 was assured that of a cer
tainty my opponent would be. Billy
Wells. No one spoke of Beckett; I
hail not taken him into my reckoning,
and ple.-tse forgive me, Beckett, when
1 rushed to 1 11don to see you Against
'the Bombardier. 1 put money on Wells.
_ Since that night when Hilly was
stretched on the iloor of the r'tig. 1
have thought and dreamed only of
Beckett. J have itched to meet him.
And since that night 1 have but on...
notion, to fight him; for 1 kno.v, you
know, everybody knows, that if I beat
Jilm 1 shall get further on the highway
that leads to the world's championship,
Uhat if I were to moot and dv.-1'eat a
dozen other men.
Milking liverytliIn<r on I-Tgbt.
After my affair with Smith and my
request for a postponement, they said
i j had no liking !or Beckett; that I
[ "contemplated running away to America.
5t is true 1 hud much money offered
to me to go to the States, but not a
| single offer have I taken seriously. I
[ never thought of going, thoug.li a b'g
r fortune awaited me there before 1 had
; defended my title of Kuropean heavy
r weight champion in London.
I If 1 had rushed to America, j should
[ have committed professional su'eide
?Surely, if 1 had s-.destepped Beckett, I
could never have held my hC4_d up in
Kngland uuain.
* 1 am staking everything on my fight
Xvith Beckett onM.I'ecenjber 4 -reputa
tion, money. pfesjUK-e,- everything. If
the Kngl'sh champion, beats me I come
down with a Hop. as" you say?bane!
And it will be hard to get inc up again.
I will not prattle about confidence,
hut 1 will hack my chances. And 1
will wager that it will not be a long
tight?but hard. terrible, a mighty
trash?a short, sensational one, 1 p-c
.turo it will be.

MAYS' CASE UNAFFECTED
BY DIRECTORS' DECISION
Hon Johnson S?j.i lie Will Take -No
Aetl?n An l<unR A.i Injunc
tion Slnndii.
rilv Associated I^ess. 1
C1HCAOO. Nov. 6.?The action in !
New York of three directors of the !
American League iu requesting the Na
tional Commission to distribute the ;
third team's share of the world's series |
5 ool among the players of the New !
York Americans, and disallow the De- !
troit club's protest, has not materially j
affected the "status quo" of the Carl
Mays case, in tile opinion of Han John
son. president of the league. .Mr. j
Johnson said today, however, he would j
consider hipiself restrained from tak- j
ing any action in the case so long as j
the injunction obtained against him
bv the New York club owners after
h< suspended pitcher Mays following
his transfer from Boston to New York
stands.
?As 1 understand it." Mr. JoJ-.nson
said, "the May* case still is In the
courts, with thirty days allowed to I
file a motion for appeal. There has
been no final disposition of the case. !
if my advices are correct, and pending
such tinal disposition it would seem
tlie part of wisdom for the commission i
to retain the disputed money. How
ever. that is entirely up to my col
leagues on the commission."

EXPECT TO TAKE SCALPS
OF INDIANS TOMORROW
Outcome of Content firing Watrkrd
With lOHK'rr Interest by
Kunlltall Kana.
Probably the moat hotly contested
football battle of tho season in Rich
mund will bo witnessed tomorrow,
when the Richmond College Spiders
and tho William and Mary Indians
clash. Both elevens realise that tho
outcome means the elimination of one
from the race for UJe Kqstorn Vir
ginia Intercollegiate Athletic Associ
ation championship and will put forth
their best brand of football.
The eleven that is fortunate enough
to emerge the victor will have an ad
vantage in closing the season on top.
and the loser will take a position of
handicap. Should Uie Spiders subdue
the invading Indians and the Tigers
whip the Ashlanders, another stase of
interest will be set on "Death Valley"
one Week hence, but with another win
for Driver's charges the outcome of
tho championship will revert to trhe
final Indian-Tiger contest.
Olllclnls Are -Valued.
Ofiicials in the contest here will be
as follows: Goocli, University of Vir
ginia, referee; Apple. .Michigan, um
pire; Jourm-t, Springtield, head lines
man. The following will olticiate in
the Tiger-Yellow Jacket struggle tak
ing place tomorrow in Lynchburg,
llargrove. V. 1*. I., referee; Smith, Vir
ginia, umpire; Koden, V. P. 1., head
linesman.
The reports that the "WilliamsbcrjJfc
ers will present a crippled machine on
Saturday is given little credence in
Spiderdom so far as counting on tais
to help them win is concerned. Dob
son's crew lias learned long ago that
the "only good Indian is a dead In
dian." and regardless of the Indlnn's
hospital list, the Spiders are Wvf.ting
harder than ever for the battle. No
chances are being taken, and when
the game is ovw there will be no aiibi
to offer.
But little more improvement could
bfl expected over t.ie work of the local
colli ge in its campaign against th?
Jackets last Saturday. The ease with
which the eleven Ked and blue men j
manipulated their inanucvers whs be
yond complaint, and the same caliber
of operation is expected tomorrow.
This week's practice has demonstrated
clearly that last Saturday's perform
ance was not extraordinary, but a sam
ple of the manner in which the Spiders 1
will struggle wit.i their opponents un-J
til tho end of the race.
12xp??t Laree Crowd.
Because of the apparent character of '
the contest, and the large following of J
both teams In Richmond and vicinity
one of the largest and livest crowd of j
fans Is anticipated through tha stiles
when the game begins. The Indians t
w;ll fig.it with the backing of a large |
rooting body from Williamsburg, who ;
will arrive in Richmond tomorrow j
morning on a special train. They will >
return the visit rnado them several j
weeks ago by over two hundred J
Spiders, and the local boys will offer j
them a hot reception.
There will be no radical changes in !
the line-up of t-ie Dobsonites. One j
fortunate feature to the Spider's play \
this year has been their lack of shake- j
up in their machine. Kappes will con
tinue at right end. and very likely
Price will hold down his job on the
same side of the line, although t'.iero
is a possibility that C. Shepherd will
step in at jiuard. A double set of backs
will be ready to Jump into the fray.
The final semblance of scrimmage left
the en I -e squad unhandicapped by
injuries and today will not break this
dope, as only signal drill will be the
order.

Hichard F. Carson's Carmandale stud,

products of Carmandale farm?Douise

W'oodtrap and Tom McTaggart <n the
last race at Pimiico on Wednesday, is
<? product of William Woodward's Be
lair stud, which is in Prince George
County, only a few miles as tho crow
flies to the south of Bowie track. The
Desert was foaled by the French mare
Parthera^a shortly after her arrival
at Bcllar farm. He will race at Bowl#

Ottawa. Canada.

Honor Bound to Contract.
NEW YORK. Nov. ?1Tv Cobb, in
a talk here with several baseball men
sometime ago. was quoted as saying
that there was no harm in holding
out for as much salary us a player's
| emj>loyer would be willing to pay.
j "But once a player signs a contract,"
Cobb kdded. "he is in honor bound to
do his level best on the field until his
I engagement expires, a player in mid
; season has no moral or legal right to
| become dissatisfied with the terms of
j the agreement to whit.) lie has at
I lached his signature. He must give
I the best he has to his club owner.
I That is the way to look at this mat
| ter, and I have no sympathy at all
t Mr Mays or any other player who acts
I like iiim."

WILLIAMSBURG, VA., Nov. 6?It
was only a bee which stung Julian
Brooks (in a dream), hut this puuedo
bee may prevent tlio popular back, of
the William and Mary Collego eleven
playing agulnst Richmond Collego
Saturday afternoon at Boulevard Field.
His dislocated shoulder was healing
when ho foil out of bed.
Brooks worked out with the squad
yesterday and showed considerable
ginger. Wallace, another cripple.
Helped Coach Driver drill the team.
"Specks" Fentress, half hack, und
Hall, end. likewise witnessed the prac
tice, but did not engage In it. Brooks
may get into tho second half against
the Spiders. It is practically certain
Driver will start Davies or Cooke.
I The Indians, although weakened by
the loss of four regulars, have fair
reserve material. Bentley has been
driving through the scrubs In scrim
mage. while Andrews, Marshall and
("handler, llnetnen. will develop Into
djuidy p!a>-?rs. Bentley and White
are alternating at full back.
Student rallies held Wednesday and
Thursday nights evinced great enthu
siasm, and the team will not lack sup
port when It tac-kles the Dohjon crew.
Tho accident to Brooks Is odd In
football annals. He was hurt in tho
Randolph-Macon game, and the injury
prevented his appearance against
Hampden-Sidney College In Norfolk
Saturday last. Beintc a fourth-year
man and popular with the regulars.
Brooks' presence in the game will
improve the morale of Captain Jimmy
Driver's squad.
Tho sum.! reasoning applies in the
case of "Fata" Wallace, who is one
of the best tarkles ever developed _ In
the Kastern Virginia Intercollegiate
Athletic Association. His equal for
lighting spirit and knowledge of the
game has not appeared at Cary Field
in many seasons, unless Close, his fel
low tackle, be rated as his counter
part. Close has played great foot
ball in the thr^e championship games,
ajul his punting aiso has been of
high order.
