HACK WAS discussing the past and
 present boxers with -he writer while waiting for his turn at the local theatre yesterday. Among the many things he said was the following
 ''BoNcrs of today are g. gentle lot in comparison to those of years Egue by. Twenty years ago only the thug took up boxing Today we have ul-l.i ion aires, auabassa dors. governors. pua-- ness and professional men. soldiers. school boys-yss. and even girls learn ing boxing. And why snouldnr they ] never have regretted rrs day when ! first pushed by hand into a glove. l will always remember that day. for without any Knowledge of poN1uE ly is safe to say that I would never have beon where ar today. , ut-ht have been buried some where. either lu the mining camps .f CaualG or on LLe battleheIds of France.
 To-day boxing ls reuIemals sport. It Is. as a matter of fact. a much cleaner game than football and wrestling. And yrt no one objects to either Of these. suppose that ts one pecullarity SO characteristic ot the American; he s prepared to abuse so pratseworthy a sport as I0v.n- and baseball and willing to pay big prices to see brutal football and wrestling matches.

 "A own fellow Bridge porter, Bat tling Ievlnsizy. There is g. young man who has been in the boxing same every bit Of ten years and as fine g. looking and Eenrlemanly sort & chap as you will find in the most select church congregations in this country he is. Jack Britton is another boxer of the present day who. despite his many years, IS a clean, honest and model American.
 "The young man who takes boxing seriously is the one who will ultimate ly get to the top of the ladder. And you will find by looking through yCur records that those are the boys who are commanding the attention of the public today. The lad who leads high life is found at the bottom. Pug ilistic history has taught US that these can not make good. Boxing commands the best there Is in a man. And the ,sooner those opponents of the sport realize and appreciate the fact, the better it will be for boxing. Then, and then only, can you expect boxing to come into It's own in this country.
 q predict that boxing will within comparativeIy short time, through the influence it has gained during the war. develop in the greatest of International sports. Boxing, as it is being fought today by American champions, is still in it's infancy. The time will come when everyone of those who have said nasty things about the sport will look hack and realize the absurdity of their stand"

~ ENEERAL PERSRENG has made O an appeal to American athletes. Next June in a little town, near Paris, France, the first inter-allied athletic carnival will be held. Tha Associated Press correspondent at Paris the other day cabIed an article in which he said that no less than 8 all. l nations have already entered eth- letes. So far the only Americans who have entered the games are those w7co are in the army in France.
 But Fershing isn't satisfied. He doesn't believe that justice win be done to America. if onpetition is re- stricted to those in the army. He wants to zee some of the real stars now over here in action and for tha. reason he has appealed to the A A. [.
 This is the cablegrarn. signed by Gen Pershing, to the A. A. U. au- thorities who some time ago got in touch with him and offered to do whatever he asked them to do:

When Willard trained for his affair with Moran the champion did not have a Iiva one in his camp.

NY ILLUS BRITT was always con-
 wy sidered ar able manager and clever coacher of fighters, but there was one occasion when he showed that he had picked the wrong line of dope That was ten years ago today, when the late Stanley KetcheI fought Phil adeIphia Jack" O'Brien in New York Britt was KetcheTs manager and for the first eight rounds of the luemor- able battle Stanley followed the di- rections of WiIIus and Jimmy Britt. with the result that he waB made a choppinE block for the cleve~ Phil adelphian, who who was prompted by Tony Riddle, the millionaire "gen- telman pugillst'' of the Quaker City. and Kid Mccoy. the great master of ring strategy.
 When the bell rang for the ninth round sounded, KetcheI, whose head was bloody but unbowed," determined to follow his own tactics, and the tide of battle quickly changed O'Brieu and his advisers found an entirely diff ferent man in the ring. Ketchel tore out of his corner like a wild man run ming alnuck, and smashed tn startled and even frigh tened O'Brien right and left. 4 terrible waHop sent Jack down for the count of nine. In the tenth round the Philadelphian soon went down again, and wasn't in any rush about getting up.
 When he did 1t was only to be met with another terrific swing, which sent him to the floor again, sprawling and all but unconscious He was good for a. count of a hundred, but when Referee Tim L urst had reached six the bell rang, so the knockout didn't count. That fight was attended by more t'howling swe1Is'' than any sin1i- lar event before or since in New York, and dreG= suits and motor cars were much n evidence. Most of the tony sports had planted their ksIe on O'Brieu, but the finish had be so exciting that they were glad to lose their coin. Later in the same year OB'riea and KetoheI fought again, and Jack was knocked cold in the third round
