Britton is today the wonder of all
persons who follow boxing. He is
the one man in all history to come"
back Dozens have tried it, but
failed. This lad did the seemingly
impossible.
Before the war days, Britton was
undisputed champion and Joe Bar

Lewis and lost the decision and the
championship in twenty rounds.
Had he taken the experience of the
ring masters he would have curled up
and quit. but this veteran is of no
such blood. Approaching the age of
forty while Lewis is not yet thirty

ages, and he should know as Britton

he was running fights at the Gayety
there and handling Dummy Decker.

would give up after being trimmed,
although none ever succeeded before.
The alibi is always on the tip of

We'll. boys, 1 had been out of the
ring too long and lost a good deal of
my speed and snap. Dempsey is a
strong, willing young fellow and far
be it from me to take any credit
away from him. But if I had been in

Jack johnson there would have been
a different story to tell. Well, good

Association, whose members include
some of the most widely known people
of the country. retained a lawyer, to
go out after evidence. Within eleven
hours after he was engaged one al
legged gambling place was raided and
arrests made.
The house raided, an old mansion,
was formerly the country home of a
prominent New York lawyer, and was
purchased and furnished deliberately
by John Shaughnessy. 1t is on the
Merrick road, adjoins the Blossom
Health roadhouse, near the five cor
ners Of Lynbrook, where hundreds OF
motoring parties pass every day. It's
nearness to New York. Brooklyn, and
other points permits motoring parties
to reach the place at any hour of the
night without detection.
1t took nearly two hours to carry
the gambling apparatus to a storage
van, in which it was taken to Cedar

were three roulette wheels, mounted
on handsomely carved tables. and sew
eral boxes of gray, red, and blue chips,
many of them counters for 500 and
others black lettered at 81 900.
