He trained for the thing in mental

and I'll bet right now that his nerves
have undergone test ten fold more
than mine. l always sized the man up
! for just what he has been credited for
possessing. that which he lacked most,
/ science and strength. L ran in on 4 few
of his leads in the first round just to see
what, if anything, he had up his sleeve.

q never entered a ring in my life and
] hope never again to do so with more

afternoon when L got into the same ring
with Mitchell. / had two separate and
distinct battles to win. Some time since
, Mitchell applied to me "A name which
should scorn TO hurl at the vilest OF
wretches. This was one reason why

Of a hypocrite. l despised the man for
the foul name he used, and my heart
reVolted at the idea of taking such a
man by the hand, even though 1t is the
custom. L notified the referee not tn

who has any spirit. and il is the nature
of eur to snap and sEarl resentfully
if he is attacked"
You feared his fouling?''
7 did not fear it as much as I an
ticipated it. Why. he had no more
chance to foul me than YOU had on the
far side Of the barbed wire fence which
kept YOU out of the ring. The clinches

He never got chance 10 use his upper
