BROUGHT THEM BACK TO FRISCO.

BROUGHT THEX BACK TO FRISCO.
 cago, I figured Murphy most likely would be at the ferry to see him off. I hurried to the ferry and found Mur- phy and Santry checking their trunks. When I accosted Murphy for an ex- planatton he informed me that he was merely there to see santry off. I had a dinner appointment and therefore couldn't cross the bay with them. On my way back I 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. I recognized the handwrit- ing as being from Teddy and immedi- ately became very suspicious.
 I opened it and there found a note with a hundred dollar bill inclosed. The letter stated that he had been called home on account of sickness in the family and lot of "bull," etc. I felt positive then that 1t was his in- tention to run off with my bank roll, and immediately got busy.
 The police chief instantly wired in- structions to Stockton advising the au- thorities there to arrest Murphy and Santry. Next day Detective Taylor was sent to Stockton and brought Murphy and Santry back to San Fran cisco, where we settled our difficulties.
 After that Murphy and severed connections for good.
 After Britt Again.
 I have already told how I defeated Corbett a second time. I now felt as if I was entitled to a return match with Britt, so got hot on his trail.
 As had knocked Corbett out twice, the San Francisco press and the public at large demanded of Britt to show his colors and fight me. He finally agreed to sign a temporary set of articles and posted a $2, 800 forfeit with Harry Cor bett for fight to take place some time in July. This was done.
 Two clauses were inserted in the ar ticIes-one that was not allowed to engage in any fight that went over six rounds, the other that I must be on San Francisco soil not later than July for signing of final articles.
 Fights Abe AtteII.
 As was under the care of Dr. Charles A. Clinton because of my bro- ken rib, got during the Corbett fight, found it impossible to fight for few weeks. I went to the mountains for month on the doctors advice.
 In the meantime San Francisco sport writers had chronicled the story of my gallant victory over Young Corbett through the east, and as result l was very much in demand thereabouts I received offers from the Philadelphi club to fight three battles at $1,5OO pc fight to go six rounds, no decision they to name my opponents.
 It was here that I met Abe Attel We fought six slashing rounds, wit, the usual 'tNo decision" result. re ceived $1 800 for my end.
 Although there was no decision in my fight with Abe Attell, it was one of the fairest battles ever fought. My opponent was as much opposed to un- derhanded work as l was, and there seemed to be no one in the crowd who was disposed to violate ring rules in any particular. The broken rib that I had got in the Corbett fight was still troubling me, but I do not say that is what kept me from making a better ihowing at that time.
 found the Philadelphia people about the squarest folks in the business. If r,rizefig ghting could always be conduct ed after their methods 1t would have a better reputation. Of course I was champion timber and entitled to good treatment, and l want to say right here that I got it. I shall always look back to that visit to the Quaker City with pleasure and regret that there are so few cities of the same kind.
