I hoped that I might anger John L., causing him to rush me wildly with the first tap of the gong in an effort to finish "the fresh Cal ifornia kid" in jig time. I reck- oned that my speed would enable me to keep out of his way and that the wild swings and furious rushes soon- CT or later would sap his strength and reduce him to a point where could go in and chop away at him until I had reduced him to a point where a knockout was possible

 The champion beamed PIP pounds for our fight which was about ~ pounds less than when he began training His weight for the kii- rain fight was over 200.

 The gambling clique which made it's living by betting on pugilistic fights in those days, did not make many mistakes in judging the condi- tion of battlers.

"The Closed Road' Is Dramatic Picture.

"The Closed Road" which was shown at the Coliseum last night and which will be repeated at the Saturday matinee and Saturday night is a dramatic production.
 Rich, good looking, and with ev- erything to live for, but told by your physician that your heart was bad and you had less than six months to live, what would you do? The hero started to blow out his brains, but was prevented by a pretty girl who induced him to con fess to the murder of which her brother was accused. Found gull ty and condemned to the electric chair, the hero finds out hthat. his heart is perfect and that he would live to an old age if not executed.
 How he was finally saved just as the switch was about to be thrown, and how he finally finds happiness in the arms of the girl who first in- duced him to take the blame for the erine on himself, and whose eff forts have been successful in final ly freeing him after she has learn ed to love him, forms the main plot of the picture. !, House, Peters does some excellent dramatic work in the picture

Back in John L.'s championship days it was the popular idea that all his adversaries should go to the battlefield accompanied by an ambu- lance squad And it is true that most of John L.'s ring rivals surely needed the services of medical folks after the fray was over.
 But when I went to the New Or leans arena where our fight was held on September ', 1892, I was all 'dolled up' in gay scenery. wore the nattiest light suit that l could afford, tan shoes which were considered only as part of dan dy's costume in those days, straw hat-and l carried cane. A strange rig for man on his way to engage in the most important fight of his career. Yes; But I wore those clothes for purpose. hoped that John L. would hear about how l was dressed and that the news would make him think that I felt no more concern about fighting him than l  did about going to a picnic.
 John naturally so-was proud of his fighting ability. It always angered him in the old days when anyone spoke about it slightingly. It was my hope that by exhibiting ap- parent indifference to the danger of fighting him I could get him to thinking that held him in some thing akin to contempt. This 1 knew would infuriate John Land that was what I wanted to accomplish.
 When I was matched to fight the great Bostonian l realized that he would go into the ring outweighing me from 30 to 40 pounds. It would have been folly for me to stand with him in a toe-totoe slugging match in the early rounds. No man in those days could swap punches with John l.. in the center of the ring and have chance for victory. Cog. nizant of this, l mapped out my plan of battle months before it took place Mine was to be running fight during the early rounds.

"Is a Falsehood Ever Per
 missible ?" Is Question Raised

ln "The Beautiful Lle.'
 Is falsehood ever permissible? This question is brought home with telling force in the five-part Metro production, "The Beautiful Lie,' starring Frances Nelson and pre- sented by B. A. Rolfe, to be seen at the Coliseum theatre on Sunday. It is an adaptation of Ella Wheeler Wilcox's powerful dramatic poem, "A Reverie in a Station-House."
 Louise Joyce (Frances Nelson has to decide whether to abide by the truth or to sacrifice it for the sake of the man she loves. She tells 'the beautiful lie," bringing on her self great suffering and injuring her own good name for another's happi- ness.
 When Louise is told that her mar riage to Mortimer Grierson was a farce, she attempts to follow him, is arrested for annoying him and taken to station-house charged with being a disorderly woman. Later she tells Paul Vivian that this record stands against her, but neglects to tell him, it was unde- served
 Was this lie justified? Are there occasions when lie is more truth ful than the truth itself? This is a question that will be asked by every person who secs the absorbing screen production, "The Beautiful Lie"
