Jem Mace, champion of England,
wanted to fight me four rounds. He
tried to get Al Smith. my manager, to
agree to have me make it a draw. Mace
said TO Smith:
'If 1 fight with John L. and he
knocks me h'out It would break me
cart"
The rest OF Jeul's offer was that If I
would agree to make II four-round
draw he'd announce from the ring that
I was the best man he ever met. Smith
proposed that he make the match on
the level, that IL could be pulled on In
Madison Square Garden, New York, and
there would surely be a $4,000 house.
and divide the receipts equally.
For that price you can AFFORD to get
knocked out" Smith argued.
But Mace insisted that IL must be his
way. To humor Mace Smith came to
me, told me the story, and asked me.
What do you say2" Ny answer was
this: ''If I tackle Mace I'll do my best,
end let him do the same. All the fight
ing I have ever done has been on the
level and I won't quit to oblige Mace
or anybody else"
Al went back, told Mace what I said
and pressed him to fight me under
those conditions. Jem's reply was cute
and to the point. 1t was, Not for the

Declined a $3.50 Purse for Whipping a
Bully.
When I was at the height Of my
career the story was told in all the pa
pers that 1 was to retire from the ring
and, as a wind-up,. would give an ex-
hibition IN a theater in Boston during
which 1 was to knock down an OK with
my naked fist. Nothing Of the kind was
planned, for it would have been brutal
to use an OK that way, and 1 never
was brutal.
I never knocked down an OK, but did
DO up q calf on two legs. Once in Mount
Clemens d fellow who had made himself
a terror, looking for fight all the time,
attempted TO iostle me off the sidewalk.
He didn't know who I was and when
started 10 give him some advice he called
me a name that meant fight, and he
made a lunge at me. I put him down and
out in two minutes. and for once he had
his ill of fight, and enough TO last him
till the cows came home.

that his joblots had got the walloping

fused the money the action Of the citi-

he was at 160 pounds he could have
walloped anything OF his weight stand
ing on two legs. He is one Of the po-
Htest men 1 have known. and In any
company he would be picked out as a
superior fellow. his good manners being
natural and not any BARRIERS polite
ness. Daily never knew what fear was,
and with his skill as a boxer combined
with his stout heart he could have
made a record as fighter that would
have smashed records right and left
When Pete Mccoy was at his best as
a fighter he and Captain Bill got into
an argument one night IN Boston, and
Mccoy, who didn't stop to pick his
conversation out OF the good book be-
fore expressing himself, said something
which Jared DAILY.
Mccoy" said DAILY, you've got a
great reputation in the ring, and a
greater one outside OF the ring, as a
man who whips everybody who opposes
him. Now, I'll give you chance TO
make a greater reputation II you'll
come out in the yard with me-"
Mccoy, who was also a fearless
fighter, for once IN his life wouldn't
take chance. I always had a great
admiration for Pete. but II he had ac-
cepted that invitation, put to him in
the politest kind OF language,
wouldn't have given much for his
chances.

Teddy's Endorsement of Fighters IL
Seconded.
I see that the President has told IN
one OF his speeches at college that he
knows many prizehghters, and thinks
many Of them are good citizens. That's
true. but 1t took a lot OF courage TO
say it. Most of the people who go TO
college exercises believe that prize
fighters are next to bank burglars. But
the opinions Of good people on fighters
and bank burglars. as we'll as the opin-
ions of fighters and burglars on good
people are made up in a hurry on both
sides. I once heard Jimmy Hope. who
plundered the Manhattan Bank, say:
"I never bother with a small bank.
The bigger the bank and the more coin
there is in, the easier IL is, for the
more pompous the banker the stuptder
he is and the easier 1t is to do him"
give Jimmy Hopes opinion for
what it is worth. not intending to IN
dorse IL. But II may be said for all the
lighters have known, not one of them
would be guilty OF taking rake-offs
from the widows and orphans, as we
read some OF Ln6 unduC4eES III view
York have been doing. Perhaps the
President had something like this in
mind when he went out OF his way to
say a good word for the men who take
their chance IN the ring.
When you run your finger down. the
list of real fighters you won't run 1t
into many black marks. not as many,
at any rate, as you will run into by
going down a list of leading money
swappers of the present day.
