"OLD NEVER-SAY-DE"
BY PAUL PURsiAN

Old Never Say Die they might can
him and get away with IL.
There's no such word as Kamerad
In his dictionary. He will fight any
of 'em between i40 and 1856 pounds
and giving away weight means moth
ing whatever to him.
Jack Britton In the real veteran OF
the boxing game.
II was way back in isoS-think OF
II. II years ago. when Jack made his
first appearance in the ring.
Since then Jack has fought about
all OF them. lightweights and welters.
and has never asked for odds
when Packey Mcfarland wAs in
the heyday OF his youth. Jack took
him on. A few days ago he made
i4i pounds and fought draw with
Benny Leonard.
This Is the end OF Jack" some Of
the wise ones murmurcd when they
thought of the mighty left which had
flattened Johnny Kilbane. Freddie
Welsh and host OF others. but Jack
went in and fought his fight. and. in
spite OF his 80 years. gave his friends
no cause for excuses or alibis.
Jack, used TO be welterwcight
champion. During that time there
was never time that he feared to
defend IT, Time after time he fought
Ted Lewis until Ted finally managed
to get a decision. Since that time
Ted has kept Jack at a respectful
distance.
Jacks career in the ring Is the re-
suit OF an awakening he had in New
York several years ago. Jack had
blown in from Chicago. where he had
been living rather free and easy.
While in New York he ran across
some OF the champions OF other
years. Practically all OF them were
broke and unable to make much OF
"A living.
Il discovered right there that II
ever expected TO get anywhere I'd
have 10 say goodbye TO Old John
Barlcycorn."
Jack did IL and has never had
cause to regret his decision.
