neighborhood and a few who were older, my red-haired ideal moved away and later married somebody else.
 But the street fighting I did in Chi cago gave me an idea that I might make good as a professional boxer, and I started going to O'Connen's gymnasium, where I soon learned something of the science Of the game.
 After winning Q number of preHmi- nary battles I wandered to various parts of the country. ] often boxed for my 'Cakes,' as they say, and often for just a few dollars. During the first seven or eight years of my career nobody paid much attention to me.
 Later I became recognized as a lightweight with some science and punching ability, and I began to get on in main events. I trained faith fully all the time, but I was growing and I soon outgrew the lightweight division or thought that I had. Then I went in as welter and have been boxing in that class for a number of years.
 As champion of the we1ters once again I want to say that I mean to defend my title just as often as oc- casion demands. have already con- sented to give Ted Lewis another bat tie, and I believe that I can win from him again, because I have the confidence that comes with Q de- cisive victory.

~ HARTIE MITCHELL defeated N Mike Cleary in four rounds o' New York or this date in 1883. This was the first American battle of tho clever English middleweight. Mitchell had cleaned up the best middIes and heavics in his native land and came to America early in 1888.
 His bout with Cleary was held ia the American Institute building and was under Queensberr- rules. The EnGlish.nan was vastly superior 10 CIeary and in the third round Char lie landed q body blow that all but put Mike to sleep. In the fourth round Clearly was in such bad shape that the cops stopped the affair. The following month Mitchell fought his first bout with John l.. Sullivan, and although defeated, the English mid dleweisht had the glory ct kn NSzing Sullivan down.
 Mitchell remained in America i've years. and fought his way from coast to coast and back again Tn 1887 he returned to England and the next year fought his famC- thiTty-nine- round draw with JoL.. L.

The mighty Paterson soccer team, which has visions of winning the double championship events of the country, the National cup and A. r. A. cup competition in which the Bethlehem team will be met in both competitions, received a great set back on Sunday when it was defeated by the Federal Ship soccer team in the second round of the New Jersey State cup competition by the score of two goals to none. It was certainly the greatest sensation of the season as the F'edera!s are only considered a second rate team.
 The Morse Dry Dock team defeated the Robins Dry Dock team in the re- played tie of the first round of the Southern New York State Cup Com petition. The game was very keen and exciting all the way through as only a goal separated the teams at the finish

Three teams are to enter, the Swedish team qualifying to play the Scotch team in the first round while he.winner Of this game will play the English team in the final round.

 Our only regret is that there are not more men like Lee in Connec- ticut, for such as he are 9 credit 10 any sport The fact that the Derby promoter Is considering appointing Lee to referee such a match is enough to emphasize the importance attached to the bout.

In 1904 the club won the pennant. and the worlds fIa9s as well as the National League bunting, was holsted over the Polo Grounds in 1905. During the next five years Chances Cub machine won the lead ership four times and CIarke's Pirates copped one flag, but during that per iod McGraw's team finished second three times, third once and fourtn once. In 1911 the Giants came back to first place.
 To date hcGraw has won six pen 1ants, surpassing all past records of National League pilots. Anson of Chi ca5o, 5aIee of Boston and Hanlon of Baltimore eacI annexed five pennants and Chance and Clarke each won four, while Connie Mack of the Ath- letics has won the flag five times.
 Shore, Quinn and Schneider, all tip the beam beyond 200 pounds, and Brady is not far from this figure. George Mogridge, although he does not carry as much weight as the otn- CTS, is a big man, standing six feet two inches in height. O'DouI also is close to six feet in height, and Nelson, the pitcher obtained from Memphis, is d big fellow. Shore is easily the big gest man in the bunch.

-YTH GREAT enthusiasm hgnt " fans hereRoouts received -,aws of the matching of Benny Leon ars and willie Rftchie. The report came as no surprise to readers of The srinoea sporting section. for they were unade acuuainted with the fact the Ray Willie Ritchie arrived tn New York with his newTy-rnarried wife. The match was virtually closed then. The only thing that prevented the match from being announced then u,as tho fact that Billy Gibson had raouested Promoter STuckay to post pone final signing of the articles un- tiI he returned from the Coast. where he happened to be at the time. Billy wanted to go into details about the weight.
 They will box eight rounds, no-de- oisIon. at 143 pounds ringside.
