SGAHI ELL anyway, argued and
 w argued with this promoter? :? He was a. pretty good sort of 9 fel- 5oow and meant business And he would have put on the championship boutA too, had he had any real mon ey. He was on the level And it was because I realized that that I held on to him and finally talked .Ilirn into consenting to use Britton Ns.gainst Ad Wolgast in a, four-round- ar.
 rIn 1alis way, I figured, the promot- CT could get some money and if tho match proved interesting and I1opu- lar. why renatching them for @ long distance battle for the championship. But I was satisfied and the match so far as T, Brfbt0ns mana ger, was concerned. was as good as fought. Money didn't enter into the proDosi- ton and thinking that Britton would be ticlzled to death to get the oppOr- t1Erity Of meeting the champion, whom knew he could defeat, I ac- |, accepted thepromoter's offer of $20O for the Fbattters end

\ OHN COSTELLO, who formerly es managed Jack Britton as well as a string of other good boys and who also promoted boxing in various sec tions of New York in company with Sam Lewis, the pool expert and once pilot Of Abe Atteu, has been in town for couple of days. Jack is ahead of a show in which old Jack Munroe, the former heavyweight, now a. lieu tenant in the Canadian army, is fea- tured.
 Jack has praise galore for his former protege and now welterweight champion and he believes sincerely that when he meets Ted Kid Lewis again at Canton on July 4 the Chi cagoan will repeat his knockout per formance of last Monday night. In Jacks estimation Britton Is one of the best boxers of all times and it was only because of his foolishness in the SS-rly days of his career that he was not champion sooner.

Several days passed and there was nothing doing. Finally I did get q tip that a certain promoter wanted to use Jack Brittou. Now, mind you, this happened some years ago, but at that Jack was then, in my opinion a world beater and I would have bet my last niclzle on him against any body. I was so certain of the su- premacy of Britton that [ rushed into this promoters office and talked bus mess with him.
 He said he couldn't afford to match Britton and Wolgast for a champion ship battle as he didn't feel that he could meet the champions terms. But I didn't give up there. Here was a man I was looking for. What an angel he was? And do you think I was going to pass him up with that? Nothing doing.

The question is being asked in soc Ger circles in this city this week as to which club has the right to the own ership of player George Mason, who is at the present time a member of Uncle Sam's National army. Two weeks ago while on a furlough in this city he was registered with the Bridgeport Thistle team whle several days later a form was received from the Swedish club desiring to register the same player. Both forms are at the present time in the hands of the writer as secretary of the State as sccation. The signatures of the two forms are of different handwriting and the case will be fully investigated this evening when the Registration Com
 nittee of the State association wiR meet.

SSKNT HY," said Jack last night to the
 Bs writer, eff Jack had taken my advice years ago when Ad WolSast was lightweight champion, he would have held the title years ago. I had Jack Britton then. We were out on the Coast and for months I wandered around California trying to dig up some promoter influential enough to talk Ad Wolgast into a match with the Chicago man. I looked every where and finally gave the search up.

 lusfor several months and was out 1bP1f a. few weeks when the promoter approarhed him witch Lla proposition. .aAtf apparently dla Z.ot think much of BIittons ability, for he readily agreed to box him -four rounds and a. return match over the 2O-rOund route if the contest was anywhere near even.
 f'Bine. Everything was fixed, I looked up Jack Britton at the hCteI -andatold him about tho bargain had just completed for 1irn. T expected that Jack would go literally wild with joy at the news But he didn't. He was pleased enough with my success in having closed the match.
 How many rounds did you say am to go with him in the first matcIl?' asked Britton
 Why, four rounds I angwered,
 And how much will I get for this bout?'
 '' Two hundred dollars"
 Two hundred dollars? You're crazy won't fight that guy for less than $500
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-03-22

S6E ARGUED the point that the ay-
 craze boxer would have will ingly paid $500 to get the chance to box a chance. But Jack Britton , couldn't see it that way. Neither would he consider the inducement of the return match over the' 20-round route for the championship.
 Nothing doing he said, I'll take $500 or there'n be no fight
 And there was no fight.
 However, the promoter, although he cancelled the Br1tton engagement, went. ahead and booked Willie Ritchie for the four-round bout with the un- derstandtng that if be made good he would get the 2O-round bout later. The night of the four-rOund match, Jack and l occupied 0 seat at the ringside.
 After the first round of battling Jack took one good gaze at Wolgast and then turning to me, said: T could have stopped this guy tonight
 T was so angry that quit Britton flat that night. Ritchie defeated him decis1vely and I know that Britton could have stopped him. But he threw down his chance and then kick ed himself. That's one time Jack Britton cheated himself out of the lightweight championship Of the world"

From Philadelphia, today came word that Jay Gould. holder of the worlds open championship in court tennis, will defend his title against any con- tender. This announcement was made through the Racquet Club of Philadel- phia of which Gould is a member. J. M. Wear, double champion. and chair man Of the Racquets Committee Of the club, specified the conditions un- der which Gould will play.
 The match, the best in thirteen sets, would be played during the first three weeks of December on the courts cf the Racquet Club in Phil adeIphia- MT. Gould is willing to play. a. return match with the accepted challenger at an agreed upon date within a year of the first match either in this country or in England
 In all probability George F. Covey will be the man who will oppose you'd in the championship match. Covey is a ofrmer professional cham pion of England. whom GouH6l defeat ed for the worlds championship in a sensational match decided on Phil adeIp1ia, courts, in March, 1914 At that time it was understood that a return match would be played in England. Another possibility is Wal ter Kinsella of New York City.
 The case of William T. TiIder, whose amateur standing has been Ques- toned, has not yet been settled, de- spite the fact that the executive com mjttee of the United States Lawn Tennis Association was held last night.

FROM out of the West today came x the report that an imposter who toured California as "Owen Moran" the veteran fighter, has been taken into custody. The scheme that finally resulted in the running down of the inlposter was a clever one and devis- ed by several newspapermen.
 The imposter was taken into the office of one of the newspapers in Frisco the other night and there he was shown pictures of the original Owen Moran and his trainers. The "fakir'' made a vain effort to identify them He was asked about certain people who were, kr1own to have been intimate friends cf the boxer, but he could not answer satisfactorily any Oft these questions

WARTIME LIQUOR
DECISION DEFINES
STATUS OF TREATY

Washington, Dec. 16.-The war
is still on. There can be no peace
until the president of the United
States proclaims peace and this he
need not do until a treaty of peace
is ratified by the United States gov
ernment and accepted by foreign
governments. The president is the
sole judge of the proper moment for
the issuance of his proclamation of
peace.
These are the big points, which
entirely apart from a nationwide in
terest in the liquor question, were
deducted from the decision of the
supreme court of the United States
So absorbed we're most observers in
endeavoring to discover whether OF
not the country would be on a wet
or dry basis that the plain speaking
of the unanimous decision of the
supreme court on matters affecting
the status of the peace treaty itself
did not have it's full effect until TO-
day when the words of the court
were carefully digested by officiA
Washington.
1t isn't impossible, of course. to
inquire into the purposes which the
supreme court had in mind, but
there were many observers who
thought they saw an intent on the
part of the court at this critical mo-
ment in the nations history TO set
at rest the confusion which has ex-
listed as to whether Or not The war
ended with the arrlistice or with
subsequent acts Of the executive
himself.

10Th SIDES PROUD
AND OBSTINATE IN
PEACE PACT FIGHT

Washington, Dec. 15.-President
wilson himself dictated the statement
is ued at the White House as Of
T. he highest authority" to the effect
lat he had no move Of compromise
or concession in mind then with
reference to the status of the treaty
of peace.
Senator Lodge, Republican leader.
has insisted that he would not take
he initiative. Each side bla1nes and
holds the other responsible. On the
iurface this may seem like 'confir-
nation of the fears of permanent
deadlock between the executive and
legislative branches of The govern
ment.
But there are other factors and
forces of sufficient influence and
strength to bring about comprom-
ise. In the first place, foreign gov
ernments have let it be known that
some of the reservations will be ae-
cepted. In the second place. Dem
ocrats and Republicans who are not
themselves so closely committed by
the positions of their respective lead
ers are free to go ahead and map out
compromise, and. in the, third
place, the American public is un-
questionably inpatient that some
thing be done to clear ;up.ths con-
fused status Of American relations
with Europe as consequence. Of the
war. >.,s.-".
=. Responsibility in Tangle"
The time is past when approval or
disapproval of President Wilson's
statement will do any good. 1t would
take the supreme court, of the
United States many months to fix the
exact responsibility for the delay in
rthe peace treaty, if the whole case
were taken into consideration from
the day President Wilson went
abroad without taking along rep
resentative Republicans to the night
when the Democratic side offered
olive branch and resolutions Of COM
promise and the Republican major
y refused to permit even vote
o be taken on some of these pro-
posals, but adjourned congress in a
! huff, and down to the statement is
sued by the president calmly throw
ing off his own shoulders the re-
sponsibility and careful reposing the
same on the head of the opposition.
Who is responsible is of relatively
less Importance today than what can
be done to relieve the suffering of
Europe and to avert a financial and
commercial catastrophe on the other
side of the ocean which might con-
ceivably have it's effect in shutting
down American factories and re-
| trenchment of concerns dependent
for their income on foreign trade.
