ca2o, u.Surcu MNGpOF most t@e!.F would be at tue ferry to sse hiSu oh. I hurried to tue ferry and found Mur. phy and Suntry checking their trunks When 1 accosted Murphy for an ex- p!anation he informed me that he was merely there to see Saniry off. had dinner appointment and therefore couldn't cross the bay with them. On my way back dropped into Harry Corbett's for my mail. On top of the cash register lay the secret inclosed in an envelope. 1t was from the boy manager, recognized tae haEdWrit- ing as being from Teddy and immeai- ately became very suspicious.
 I opened It aid there found note with q hundred dollar bill iHcso2ed. The letter stated that he !at' been called home Oil account Of Sicit.A.ssis ill the family and d k; Of ''ball, etc. | felt positive then that it was tlis ia tcntien to run off with my b;inG. rel. and l immediately got busy.
 The po:ic. chief Instantly wired in strucfiuuS to StocksGi1 advising tZie au- thorses there to arrest Murphy and Santry. Next Gay Detective Taylc" was sent to Stockton and brought Murphy nnd Snntry back to San Fran cisco. where we &e1tied ou! difficulties, After that MurpAy and severed connections for good.

 As I was under the care of pr Charles A. Clinton becauseTof my bro ken rib. got during the Corbett fight, found it impossible to fight for few weeks. I went to the mountains for [ month Oh the doctors advice.
 1 In the meantime San Francisco sport writers had chronicled the story of my
 gallant victory over Young Corbet
 through the east. and as a result
 was very much in demand thereabouts I received offers from the Philadelphia club to fight three battles at $1,ocO re'
 fight to gu six rounds. no decision they to name my opponents
 It was here that met Abe Attelt
 We fought six slashing rounds. witt
 the usual "No decision" result. re
 ceiyed $500 for my end.
 ! Although there was no decision Il
 my fight with Abe Attell, it was on' of the fairest battles ever fought. M, opponent was as much opposed to un derhanded work as 1 was. and ther' seemed to be no one in the crowd wll>
 was disposed to violate ring rules l!
 any particular. The broken rib thu I had got in the Corbett fight was sul l, troubling me, but do not say that i i what kept me from making bette
 showing at that time.
 ] I found the Philadelphia people abou 1 the sQuarest folks in the business.
 prizefighting could always be conduct
 ed after their methods it would hay
 better reputation. Of course l wa
 champion timber and entitled to goo'
 treatment. and l want to say righ
 hero that got 1t. l shall always lool back to that visit to the Quaker Cit,
 with pleasure and regret that ther
 are so few cities of the same kind.
