Sam Pruitt Is Back in the
Game Once Again

Look who is on the job again-Sam
Pruitt. the darktown trainer cross
country comedian, fighter. staller and
master of ceremonies for all the COL
ored boxers of note who come to town.
Sam has staked himself, or has been
staked to a brand new gymnasium in
TURK street near Leavenworth, and he
will get into the game like a bear
There is no chance to stop Sam When
you think he is through he comes right
up on top like the cat that refused to
take the count in the water
sam viii cater to all those who be-
heVe they are in need of physical
training. He will hand out everything
from the classic rub down to hook
on the point to the smokes who fail to
pay for what they get He's in the
game this time to stay, he says, and he
hopes TO develop champion crap shoot
ers and champion fighters and cham
plon entertainers in his new joint.
Sam was landmark before the fire
though he often moved when he ex-
pected the landlord. still he would al
ways turn up at some other place and
hand the boys instructions and advice
or anything they wanted. If Sam did
not nave what the customer called for
ne was never known to fail to dig it IN
some place. He was a champion all bv
himself In his own line.
sam was a fighter once and he was
getting by like a past master till one
night he met Mike Dunn. huskv
teamster in Alex Greggains' old gym
IN Sixth street. Sam gave Dunn an
awful lacing in the first round and he
came up smiling and confident in the
second But all of sudden Dunn he
gan 10 tear and with a couple of right
and left swings he put Sam to the mat
The shine lay there on his back and
Greggains. who was referee. SLOWLY
counted the fatal seconds off. when
he came to eight Greggains said: "C,et
up mere and fight, you bum. II Won
don't III count you out It's eight all
ready and | am counting fast
Pruitt rolled his eyes around a bit
and spied Dunn waiting for him with
both fists ready Then he groaneJ
settled back, and replied:
"Mistah Greggains, yo' can count ona
million if yo' likes. but / amt never
goin' to get up while that white man
am standin' around ready to knock
NAH block off"
Greggains did not have time to count
a million, but he did count ten.

they defeated Niles and Dabney in
straight sets, Mclaughlin and James
were held favorites.

crowd turned out to see the play In
the volleying Grant and Pell showed
TO great advantage and gave the spec
tators the impression that the match
would be close. All four men seemed
in perfect trim. and James did more
dancing around throughout than ever.

called the match, and Mclaughlin and
James, winning the toss, elected to
serve. Mclaughlin served first. Grant
and Pell scored the one surprise of the

team had no trouble in winning the set.

men gained rather than lost by the in
PERMISSION. Mclaughlin had on his
good natured winning smile when he
came back on the court and the crowd
applauded him.
