in eight rounds, and by so doing annexed
the title. He fought Cole at ostensibly
12b pounds. but DID not weigh more than
119 pounds: he had to make this conces-
sior In order to secure the match.
Cox adds that he is matched to fight
Terry McGovern for the words cham

he says he will make a fortune and If he
loses will Increase his bank roll to the
amount of three or four thousand dollars
anyhow.
There g plenty of money for fighters in
the States just now, says Tommy.
Cox asks to be remembered to all his
old friends and promises to be back here
again in year.
In tackling the Terrible Terry" Cox
will find himself up against the hardest
proposition he has ever faced in his life.
One cannot but admire his grit, however,
and there is always a chance Of the pro-
verbal lucky blow.
Additional light is shed on the move
ments of Mr.. Cox by the following, clip
ped from the San Francisco Examiner OF
July 18th:
After creating a disturbance on Sixth

ed with disturbing the peace, Tommy Cox

as large craft: they understand condi-
lions of wind and sea to be met with
here and their opinions would be most
valuable.
Local conditions govern the type of
yachts everywhere. In England, for in
stance, you will find boats of deep
drought with lead keels the type most
favored. The winds are severe and the
waters very rough about their coast and
they find that the deep boat is the best
end safest sea boat. In the United States
tley have probably more center-board
than keel boats. This Is because of the
shcal bars that prevent deep draughr
yschts from entering the hundreds of
cezy harbors on the Atlantic Coast This
Is also true OF the class Of yachts on
Sai Francisco Bay, where they cruise up
the rivers and s-oug-s, which are full of
bars, and without a center board the
range of cruising would be greatly cur
tailed.
The conditions here enable deep
draught boat to go nearly everywhere a
shoal craft can To be sure, some of the
ports in Perl Lochs can be shaved clos
e~ by the latter, but this Is not of suffi-
Gent value to recommend this. type. A
keel boat has many advantages; their
cabins are not spoiled by the center board
case that separates one side from the
other; they are stronger and are moro
wormed- This type of boat can be made
non-capsizable, ard those who go down
to the sea in yachts will appreciate this
feature. While there have been a num-
Der of boats of faulty design capsized
here, there has been, fortunately, no loss
of life. but their crews have been in peril
A few fatalities in the pleasure fleet will
give the impression that the sport is a
dangerous one. Then why should not a
safe, able type of yacht be encouraged
when local conditions permit it? They
ccrtainly will advance the sport more
than the skimming-dsh order, whose
owners soon tire of them and get other
be ats or leave the sport.
| There has been some criticism express
