Mr.. Carlson. you certainly have high
ambitions, ud if you are successful YOU
may get nothing but a whipping for
of possibilities that you are the man des-
tined TO down The greatest of all cham
plOns- 10 StaEt with you will have to
set a reputation. This accomplished the
rest viii be easy until you face Jeff in
meant that YOU viii bavd ia d, u Is
The pugilistic public from New York 10
san Francisco that one Emil Carlson OF
san lake mas good chance 70 defea
tho champion himself. To get this repu-
tation II viii be necessary TO whip some
Do1E ana 90 y so eItectualiy that there
viii be no doubt to the outcome. You
Will have TO walloD few dead ones
IKE F1tzsimmCmS. COrbett, Sha rkey and
withdrawing Munroe would hardly
give you a two-line notice in a country
newspaper-and bv that time the press
OF the country would demand in big
headlines that -Ieffries meet you or else
back off the earth.
New Name is Needed.
Before you start in the fighting game.
however, You should adopt a fighting
name, As Xo'I spell your name Carlson
Swede. There has never been - case
in the history of the ring where a
would act against you. II YOU spelled
your name Garrison, it would denote that
YOU were of Danish extraction. and Bat
tlnE Nelson Is a grand example of what
persons of that nativity can do II the
padded arena, However, good irish
name would DO mich better as the Irish
are "a nation Of scrapDcrs and a cog
nomen of this accent would so a long
way toward starting you out right.
Take on Professor First
Next. apply TO some professor of box
Ing, put on the gloves and lick the
professor. This you should be able to
do. with your size. if you have any
fighting ability at all. If he is the right
kind OF a professor he will realize that
you are diamond in the rough and
bring you out Get on in the first pre-
quickly. Don't. however, try to fake a
victory. as some OF the wOuld-be scrap
pers have done who have made this town
their home in the past, as a long list
of wins by this route won do any good
when you face a stranger away from
home. If YOU are successful in your
first preliminary, try it again and again,
and II success still crowns your efforts
your fortune is made.
BY this time the sporting editors Will
have discovered your ability and then
nothing can stop your upward progress.
Columns and columns of dope about your
bOyhOOd days viii appear until all the
lighters in the country Will be after you
with challenges merely 10 couple their
uame with yours for advertising purposes.
The first to butt in will be James J.
COrbetU. Then Tommy Ryan and Jack
y Brieu will be calling you names and
fight promoters will offer YOU matches.
At this point, secure a good manager
and press agent, wallop couple od
the dead ones before mentioned and the
mighty James Jeffries will be compelled
10 meet you in the ring. When this
comes, it is up to YOU
