While I'm in talking humor,

friends. / want them to know that /

a spell of training than | am rlgh
now From the time | came into
prominence as fighter until met a
setback at Los Angeles, l did not give
myself the slightest rest | used to
tell the sporting writers that nothing
would suit me better than to fight
once a week, and that was the way |
felt about it. l have come to the
conclusion that fighter is only hu
man, and if he doesn't enjoy letup
once in a while he will meet disaster
The long rest l have had in the
mountains has filled me with energy
and if Papke gets me again | won't
be in position to plead that l was
stale. There is another thing I must
m ention.
Il notice where several of the east
ern writers, in discussing the chances
OF my next fight, have said that the
beating I received at Papkes hands
will probably affect my confidence
They say it is always that way with
fighters. Well, all | can say is that

for his punches, but he could not put
me down and out. To put the thing
in nutshell, I consider my defea,
