Jeffries BEANY WEIGHTCHAMPION OF THE WORLD My First Trip East—and a Disappoint ment. I had cleaned up all the big heavy weights in the west now and there was nothing to do but to go east and make a clean up there that would lead to a fight with Fitzsimmons for the cham pionship. My hopes went high when I was offered my first chance in New York. The eastern people wanted to see the man who had beaten Peter Jack son and Tom Sharkey. Tom O’Rourke matched he against two men for ten “ ARMSTRONG HsUXKtb Tut fiREATH OUT oF MR fofl. A rounds each, the fights to take place at ■ the Lenox A. C. in New York city. The east seemed strange to me on this I first trip back since my boyhood days. Even the streets and the trees and the buildings were so different from ours in California that it seemed like going into a foreign country. Even the people; were different. Today I have friends and acquaintances everywhere and can enjoy a visit to New York, but the first time a few days of it left mo homesick for my own California mountains. As for Armstrong and O’Donnell, the men picked to fight me, I didn’t worry over them. Armstrong I knew only by reputation. O’Donnell I had met in San Francisco when he eame to the coast with Madden and Ruhlin. O'Don nell was as clever as Jim Corbett in a gymnasium, but he was an unlucky big fellow. As soon as he stepped into a ring to fight he became so nervous that he forgot his skill. I picked Armstrong for my first man, thinking I’d do the hardest before there was a chance of getting tired. I couldn’t help admiring the looks of big Bob when he stripped in the oppo site corner on the night of Angus# 5, 1897. He was like a great bronze stat ue. Here at last I was going to fight a man taller than myself, with a greater reach, equal strength and plenty of weight. Armstrong was clever, I knew that, and he could hit. He was a fine! looking fighter, even if he was black. Armstrong was waiting when I step ped into the ring with Billy Delaney. As soon as I reached my corner he came across and held out his hand with a wide smil» that showed all of his teeth. Billy Delaney whispered to me that Armstrong's corner, the southwest, was considered unlucky because of the num ber of losers that had occupied it. • There were many famous fighters around the ring that night. I remem ber seeing Jim Corbett, John L. Sulli van, Joe Goddard, Peter Maher, Kid La vigne, Sammy Kelly, Tom Sharkey, Mysterious Billy Smith and a lot of others. Bob Fitzsimmons wasn’t there. Being champion he didn’t care to look at any dub heavyweights. As soon as the bell rang J went right gomsrs Up-to-Date Methods GUARANTEED SATISFACTION.

DONATIONS OF BOOKS APPRECIATED ALL PRIVILEGES FRU oAN ANTONIO LIGHT AND GAZETTE at the big black man. After a few light exchanges I landed a hard left on his jaw and, rushing him back, swung the left again. Armstrong ducked a lit tle and the blow went high. As it land ed a sharp twinge of pain shot along my arm. I had broken my left thumb. That was pretty tough luck in the first’round of a double-header. I didn’t let any one know my hand was hurt, but went right on hitting with it. If you ever punched anybody with a broken thumb on your punching hand you know how it feels. It isn’t any fun. As I remember the fight. I forced the paca from the start. The black man was hard to get at, being on the de fensive. I didn’t want to rush matters we much, keeping the second fight, in mind, and along in the fifth or sixth sound Armstrong gave me a surprise. I nad hammered him with both hands, paying no attention to my broken thumb, and in trying to get away he dodged under the ropes. I punched at him with my left, and he ducked and eame back with a fierce left in the stomach. That was a great punch. It knocked the breath out of me for a few seconds, but I soon went after him harder than ever, and had him bleeding from a cut over the eye. When he saw that the body punch didn’t worry me he began to run away. I figured when we came up for the last round that I had the fight won easily, but I wanted to knock Arm strong out now that the end was so near. He stood up to me for a moment and I swung my left hard enough to do the trick. Bob saw it coming and in his hurry to get away fell on the floor. As he got up I went after him and, laud ing both hands on his jaw, drove him back into his own corner. Armstrong’s frieuds were yelling to him that the end of the round was near and the big black turned his back to me and cov ered up like a turtle. I was pounding away at his back ribs to make him turn around when the last bell rang. Referee Charlie White gave me the decision at once and I started toward my dressing room for the half hour's rest. As I stepped from tha ring Billy Bra dy, in a ringside chair, called to mo and asked: “How are you, big fellow?” I just held up my broken hand and went along. Brady followed me out to the dressing room. My hand was so badly swollen that the glove had to be cut to get it off. Brady took one look. Dr- Fivey of the club examined the hand, too, and said that it would be im possible for me to go on with O’Donnell. I never could have put on another glove that night. It was announced from the ring that on account of a broken hand Jeffries would be unable to go on with the sec ond bout. I could hear a sound like the Roman mob growling behind the scenes in a theater just before reaching the stage. All of a sudden it struck me that for the first time in my life I was being hooted and jeered by the crowd. It was the worst jar I ever had. I felt : like going out and fighting O’Donnell one hand, but what was the use? 1 felt sick and sore and disgusted with the east. That was the most homesick ; moment of my life. And to tell the truth, it was nothing to what I got the next morning. As soon as I had hopped out of bed and dressed myself with my hand in a big I bandage, feeling pretty blue, they be । pan to band me the papers. Whew! Vvhat a roasting! It seemed that every , body regarded mo either as a quitter |or a clumsy second rater. Some of I them even said it was luckv for me I । did break my thumb, for Steve O’Don , nell would have beaten my head off. That day I went down to the Police! Gazette office with Billy Delaney. Ini ihe outer hall there was a bench for visiting fighters to sit on while they were waiting to see the editors. Dubs s ?t on . ‘he bench. Champions walked right in. I sat on the bench while Billy saw Sam Austin and talked over the fight with him. It was funny to be] left all alone out there, with the office! boys looking me over and everybody i walking right by. It made me feel like' a measly yellow dog without any friends. That surely was a grouchy day, and I didn’t love the east very much. But just when I had reached the bot tom of the blue streak one of the few newspaper writers that hadn ’t roasted me walked -in. He hit me on the shoulder and said: “Cheer up, big fel low. You’ve got the stuff in you and you'll beat them all yet. Don’t mind the knockers.” “I’m going home and back to the old job,” I said. “Oh, forget it,” said my one friend. “Go home and get in shape and then come back again and clean them all up.” “I’ll do it,” I said. And two days later I was on my way. California never looked so good to me before as it did when our train err -cd the state liue.

The Missions spoiled the Hawks' chances of tieiug the Comanches for first place in the City Bowling league by dividing the honors last night on the ■ Mission garden alleys. In the first con ■ test the Hawks bowled their usual isteady game, winning out by 34 pins. It was iu the second battle that the | Hawks went after the record of low game score and how well they succeed ed is readily seen by the smallness of the total, 177. They not only lost the game by 109 pins, but the Missions clothed them with a coat of whitewash. To the large number of fair rooters present is the credit for the second vic tory due, for with but few exceptions their applause and rooting was offered in support of the Mission warriors. The Missions could not resist, as a conse quence, putting forth their best strength and ability, making splashes and sensa tional shots, one after the other, while the Hawks were glad to make an aver age of less than two pins with each bail bowled down the alleys. The stars of the evening were Pat ton, Grasso, Gloeckner, Dunham, Lass ner, C. Dullnig, M. Dullnig, O. Dullnig and Summerfield.
