at New Orleans. I was working for a sewing machine company at the time. and made up my mind to go to
 the fight. But l didn't say a word to the old folks. I went home as usual on Saturday afternoon and told my father ! didn't get my pay-so I wouldn't have to hand it over to him, you know. That night Jim Smith the was the champion fifty-mile walker. you know-and I shipped for New Or leans. took a job as cabin boy to earn my passage there. had just had my first fight in New York, and felt pretty smart with myself. so one morning I stayed in bed. When the mate came around to pull me out ] tried to fight with him. but he [ knocked me out with a marlin spike so quick that I never knew what struck me. I have often wished since could have gotten him into the ring under the London prize-fght rules"
 When we got there" said Billy I've didn't have a cent. We walked every bit of the last twenty miles on | The fight was fought with bare knuckles, and lasted four hours. 1t was a rough game, and both men were pretty badly punished. but it was draw. The minute it was ended I was so excited that I jumped right into the ring and challenged a 150- pound fighter named Hart to fight right then and there if purse were raised. I weighed only 124 pounds. and had been walking to the fight. but ] didn't care for that. as I wanted fight.
 He Whips His Man.
 s'well, the crowd was so anxious to see more fighting that they soon filled the hat. and Hart and went at it Al Smith was stakeholder and referee, and Jim Smith. the walker, and Tom Allen, the champion of America, sec onded me. The ring was pitched in the turf, and it had been raining. so the ground was soggy. We fought in half a foot of mud. but I didn't care. I started in to get that purse. and got it. beat the other fellow in thirteen rounds. in forty minutes. Bare knuckles? Sure. We didn't seem to care for the gloves ip those days.
 gro tell you the truth, I got so tired on the last round that when it was all over and I was given the decision I just fell down exhausted. But l soon got up and walked to a lodging house. The packers of the other fel- low paid boy 50 cents to drag him to shelter. I got just s12.5o for my purse. Oh, they held out on me, but

PUGHIST BILLY MADDEN

New York, July 2.-While in re irrespective mood rev days ago. Billy Madden, for more than thirty years a well known figure in the ring. talked of his pugilistic experiences and the ups and downs he has sustained.
 Billy Madden is the last of the old time fighters. He has fought with bare knackles in the ring. in the rough-house settos, where a man didn't quit until he was as good as dead. He has fought under the bru- tai London prize-hght rules, where nothing is barred but axes and can mons. He has been in more hard battles than any man living today. He would fight with any man twice his size and weight, under any rules, whether the purse was $500 or 60 cents, just because he liked it. He would never quit, because he never knew when he was whipped.
 And yet they say" said Billy, jam ming his Panama hat down over his nose, ''that the fighters are as good today as they used to be. Say. they play at the fight game today. have seen a trainer pull man who had been knocked senseless out of the ring and bite his ear to bring him to, and then push him into the fight again. The bare-knuckie fighters used to soak their fists and their faces in vinegar and a chemical preparation so as to make them as hard as iron Oh, it was a nice game in the old days. I have to laugh when l see the SO called sluggers fight in the parlor scraps today"
 But it is not alone as fighter that Billy Madden has become known to the squared circle. He has deyel- oped and trained some of the most eel, ebrated pugilists on both sides of the Atlantic. It was Madden who dis covered John L. Sullivan and made him the champion and the terror of the world. He made Charlie Mitchell champion of England He trained and brought out Jake Kilrain, Frank Slavin, Jack Ashton, Joe McAuliffe, Jack Dempsey, Brooklyn Jimmie Carroll, Jack McAuiiffe, Peter Maher, Joe Goddard, Fred Morris. Steve O'Donnell. Charles Golf, Tommy White, Denver Ed" Martin. Gus Ruh- lin and a score of smaller fighters.

 T will never forget the first big prize fight I saw" said Madden. Tt was between Joe Coburn, the Irish lad, and Jem Mace of England. fer the heavyweight championship. Mace is living today-72 years old, and in good health, in England He has a place there. This fight was pulled of

ARIZONA'S PATRIOTISM

- s--s " girl in the world There isn't a man in Phoenix. Tucson, Prescott or Bis bee but can show to the satisfaction of any visitor that he lives in the big gest and best town in Arizona regard less of the census reports or any other reference book. There isn't a man in the territory but thinks his counsy is the richest in Arizona in natural resources. and there isn't a man in Arizona but knows for a certainty that this territory as a whole is rich CT in natural resources than any sim,- lar geographical subdivision on earth. not excepting Indiana.
 "To conclude there isn't a taxpayer who will not back his own town against any other town, his own eoun- ty against any other commonwealth that has had equal advantages. He will back Arizona soldiers against the fighting men from any other state and he will point with greater pride to the women of Arizona than any man dare in singling out the fair danes of other lands. More Arizona girls out of hundred live to grow dp, they look prettier when they do grow up and even the gray headed ones have more color in their cheeks and more sunshine in their souls, than those of the east who are roasted in hot steam three months of the year and kept in cold storage the rest of the time.

came in and stopped the fight.
 You see. it's just like this" con. tinued Madden. Its not all case of work. A trainer must know when not to oyertrain his man. When Ruhlin was beaten, Mccoy says to me. Billy. you didn't train Gus enough. And I says, if had trained him any more he wouldn't have lasted through the first round and that's the truth of 1t. A man is like a horse; you can go too far with him. It's a good thing to know when to stop. You know what l mean. 4 trainer must be like a doctor. He must know his mans condition.
