 The program calls for three fights. am to win the arst.fght It will be pulled of in Nevada if San Francisco won't stand for it. We are to make tt good fight. To make it good each of us will put up a side bet of &20,000. It will be real money, but it won't be a real bet. Each gets his own slipped back to him.
 1-The same way with the purse. Ws'H divide it evenly. though the pub lie division will be thirty five and six ty-fve- The purse, the moving picture royalties, the advertisements, and all the rest of the drags won't be cent less than $250, ,090. We'n divide ft and go to work on the return match. Han- ford will win that, and we divide again
 sThen comes the third fight I win as have every right to, and we have taken three-quarters of million out of the pockets of the fighting public. That's the program, but the money is dirty And that's why am quitting the ring tonight
 It was at this moment that Jim Han ford, kicking clinging policeman back among the seat holders, heaved his huge frame through the ropes, below ing:

 Re rushed like an infuriated bull at Glendon, who sprang back and then, instead of meeting the rush, dticixed eleanly away.
 Unable to check himself, the big man fetched up agaznst the ropes. dung back by the spring of them, he was turning to make another rush, when Giendon. landed him. Glendon, ccoz, clear seeing, dfstanced his man perfectly to the jaw and struck the first full strength blow of his career. kAn his strength and his reserve of strengths went into that one smashing muscular explosion.
 Hauford was dea4 in the air-in so far as inconsistencies may resemble death Sc far as he was concerned, he ceased at the moment of contact with GIendon,s fist.
 His feet left theWdoor, and he was in the air tnfzl he struck the topmost rope HIS inert body spraw1ed across it sagged at the middle and fell through the ropes and down, out Of the ring upon the heads of the men in the press seats.

heads and shoulders, clutched at and uphfted by every hand that could touch his body, he went back through the air to the machine.
 Then he gave his speech, and Maud Glendon, looking down from an upper window at her young Hercules tow er- ing on the seat of the automobile, knew, as she always knew, that he meant it when he repeated that he had fought his last fight and retired from the ring forever.
 THE END.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1914-04-02

W@4HE audience broke loose If
 had already eseen more than
 it had paid to see, for the
 great Jim Hanford, the world champion. had been knocked out It was unofficial, but it had been,witE single punch
 Never had tberesbee such night in hstiana. Glendon looked ruefuIly at his damaged knuckIes. cast a glance through the ropes to where Hanford was groggay coming to and held up his hands
 He had clinched his right to be heard. and the audience grew still.
 When I began to fght,'' he said they called me One Punch Glen don You saw that punch moment ago always had that punch | went after my men and got them on the jump, though was careful not to hit with all my might.
 AThen I was educated. My mana ger told me it wasn't fair to the crowd He advised me to make long fights so that the crowd could get run for its money I was a fool, a mutt was green Lad from the mountains So help me God, I swal- lowed it as the truth
 ssMy manager used to talk over with me what r0und would put my man out i'm Then he tipped. it off to the betting syndicate, and the betting syndicate went- to it Or course you paid.
 But am glad for one thing. I never touched a cent of the money They didn't dare offer it to me be- eause they knew it would give the game away
 .'You remember my fight with Nat Powers never knocked him out. I had got suspicious. So the gang framed 1t up with him. didnt know rounds over the sixteenth That last punch in the sixteenth didn't shake him. But he falxed the knock dut, just the same, and fooled all of you.r
 How about tonight?" a voice call z ed out '1s it frameupT'
 ..It is," was Glendon's answer. Flows the syndicate betting2 That Cannam will last to the fourteenth
 Howls and hoots went up. For the last time GIendon held up his hand for silence
 41'ms almost done now But want ts tell you one thing. The syndicate gets landed tonight. This is to be a square fight Tom Cannam won't last fiil the fourteenth round He won't last the first round.''
 Cannam sprang to. his feet in his corner and cried out in fury:
 You can't do itl The man don't live Who-ean get me in one ro1ndg G1endon ignored him and went on.
 -Once now in my life I have struck with all my strength You saw that a moment ago when caught Hanford.z
 Tonight, for the second time, am going to hit with all my strength that is, if Cannam doesn't jump through the ropes right now and get away. And now Pm ready"
 He went to his corner and held out his hands for his gloves In the oppo- sdte corner Canaan ragged while his meconds tried yain1y to calm him.
 At last Billy Morgan managed to make the final announcement.
 This will be forty five round con teetr' he shouted Marquis of Queens bury rules. And may the best man Wfpt Let her gely
 The gong struck. The two men ad- wanced GIendon's right hand was ex- tended for the customary shake, but GHnnams with an angry toss of the taad- refused t0 take it
