BOALT Is REMINDED OF THE
TIME WHEN HE AND JIMMY
BRITT CHUNlNIED IN LON
DON.

Jimmy Britt's in town. Great
lad-Jimmy. And mebby you
think | wasn't glad to see him
again.
l got to know Jimmy in London.
We chummed together several
years over there and got homesick
together, while We drank warm
ale and pinned for ice-cold lager.
There never was an American
Fighter or anything else--that
made a bigger hit with the Eng
fish public, and especially the Eng
lish sporting public, than Jimmy
did.
Jimmy was popular in London
for variety of reasons, one of
which was that he fought his last
fight in London-and got licked
by an English boxer, Johnny
Sommers. The English are hard
losers, but fine winners.
1 saw the battle. 1t took place
In the open air down in West
Ham, in the great, workaday East
End. The crowd was enormous.
Britt and Sommers had fought
twice before, If 1 remember, and
each had a decision in his favor.
Poor Jimmy went down in the
seventh and couldn't get up before
the fatal ten was counted. And
I'll never forget the great Cock
ney wave that swept over the bar
riers and up over the ring, carry
ing the grinning, triumphant
JOHNNY on it's crest, and leaving
poor Jimmy lying limp and dazed
on the boards.
1t was that battle that con-
WINGED Jimmy that his fighting
days were over. The silk" was
gone. Afterwards he told me: "If
the rests between rounds were five
minutes long, instead of one min
ute, I'd be as good as l ever was"
Jimmy went into partnership
with Hugh Mcintosh, the Austria
liam promoter, who had come to
London to compete with the an
cient National Sporting club.
He went In for international
eontest-English against French
and American fighters. Jimmy,
Immaculate and natty in evening
clothes and white vest, did the an
nouncing.
Mcintosh stayed pretty much in
the background, while Jimmy took
care of the social end. 1t was the
popular Jimmy who persuaded
many Of the nobility, women
among them, to honor McIntosh's
fight nights with their presence.
You ought to have seen Jimmy
hobnobbing with his lordship and
her ladyship, and his grace and
her grace, and all the honourables
this and that In the boxes In the
big arena at Olympia.
And the crowds-how Whey
cheered when Jimmy entered the

THE GOOD OLD DAYS

in England, especially in sporting
circles. So much adulation bored
and embarrassed Jimmy.
One of Jimmy's best friends
was Eugene CORR, the banker
referee and gentleman sportsman,
who, before the Mcintosh inva-
sion, officiated nowhere but at
the National Sporting club. But
Jimmy got CORR to referee at
Olympia, and that was great
card for Mcintosh. 1t gave his
fight nights social tone"
In 1911 Jimmy Clabby, Eddie
McGoorty, Ray Bronson, Billy
Papke and other American mitt-
men came to England to pick up
easy money. They trained at the
Bull and Bush" public house
on Hampstead Heath, a London
suburb.
Jimmy and l used to go out
there to see them work out. And
Jimmy got the come back"
bunch bad. He climbed into toys,
donned the mitts and started
working out with the Americans
and a couple of French boxers.
He could still go some, take it
from me.
Jimmy left London before II
did. He still had the come
back" bunch. But not now. The
Empress circuit is quite as profit
able and much less work.

didn't you stay in London? You

GOUX WINS
BIG RACE

INDIANAPOLIS May 31-Jules
Goux of France, driving the Peu-
geot, a French car, won the 500
mile automobile race at Indian
apolis Speedway yesterday In
6:31: 33.45, an average speed of
1859 miles an hour. He claims
he could have made faster time,
but that his manager held him
back. Goux il a well known
French driver.
The biggest thrill given the
crowd was when Charles Marzz,
who finishd third in Stutz, drove
the last lap of the race with his
car on fire.
Bob Burman, the favorlta, met
with hard luck and was not in
tho race after the 55th lap.

The two young men were received cour-
teously enough by the governor-a fussy
man who was constantly giving orders.
The governor did not invite the two
travellers to sit down nor did he sit down
himself. He simply hurried and fused
about in a tight-fitting undress uniform
in which he encased himself every morn
ing and wore sternly until bedtime
A few days later the governor gave a
great ball, to which Bazaroff and Arkady
were invited. Arkady danced badly and
BazaroR made speciality of not dan
cling at all.
The ball was beginning to bore both the
travellers, when Arkady heard some one
remark: mime. Odintsoff has arrived"
Arkady looked around and saw wom-
an of lofty stature, dressed In a black
gown. She impressed him by the dig
nifty of her carriage.
Her bare arms hung beautifully along
her stately figure; light sprays of fuchsia
fell among her cleaning hair upon her
sloping shoulders Her eyes were bright
and she gazed calmly and intelligently
from beneath a somewhat overhanging,
white brow.

perceptible smile; a sort of soft, caressing
force emanated from ner face

Naturally the general brought his sons

Bazarof had seen since he had ar

and had hoped that Anna would be hurt

Many a time on the road had he been

He dismissed his carriage at the gate
