Clipping Is Proof Positive.
One of the clippings, from the Eve
ming Journal, of New York, Sept. Is,
1907, opens with:
Following is the last of the series
on crooked prize fights written exclus-
lVely for the Evening Journal by Phil
adelphia Jack O'Brien. Having been
a principal in each of the battles he
writes about, the Philadelphia boxer
is the best man in the world to tell
the truth about the contests"
Underneath is a line reading:
BY Philadelphia Jack O'Brien."
Then follows the story. After read
ing 1t, one becomes absolutely certain
that the confession was by "Philadel-
phia Jack" and not by New York
Jack" or anybody else For the crook
ed fights which are detailed are GER
tainly fights which appear in the rec
ords as having been waged by "Phil-
adelphia Jack and not by New York
Jack"
Shifts Blame to Managers.
Philadelphia Jack" in his series of
confessions, always maintained that
he never in his whole career proposed
any fake. He said he was forced into
deals by managers of the other fighters
who would never have let their men
loose against him if he hadn't agreed
! to go easy" He mentioned specific
cases where he had to deposit a for
felt to bind his promise that he would
not knock the man cuckoo.
Discussing his fight with Tommy
Ryan, he said:
Before Tommy Ryan would agrees

Nv FRANK C. MENKE

Philadelphia Jack OBrlen uttered
a few utterances recently-and right
away an unmuzzled ghost jumped out
Of the past and began yipping and
swapping at him.
And now philadelphia Jack is
faced by a 100000 libel suit filed
against him by New York Jack"
O'Brien.
Fourteen years ago, philadelphia
jack, whose real name is joseph Ha-
gan, Rugged a typewriter to his buzz
yum and began to beat out confess
sion anent his fistic career He adj
mitted that an amazing percentage of
the fights" of his lifetime had been
fakes-nothing else He went into
detail concerning the most important
double crosses" foisted upon the pub
lie and more or less startled the sport
ing world by his exposures of ring
rottenness in which he played lead
ing role.
Public Has Short Memory
And then philadelphia Jack"
promptly forgot all about and perhaps
hoped the dear old public would do
likewise.
Quantity enough, the public did that
very thing-to large extent. A new
generation of fight fans grew up who
hadn't read the confessions and who
didn't know that philadelphia Jack"
was selfplaced around top ranking
among the fistic takers of all time.
Philadelphia jack, therefore, be-
came regarded only as one of the old
timers with an honorable reputation
TO soothe and sustain him through the
rest of his years.
Grows Prosperous With Age
He opened a gymnasium in the
Quaker City-and 1t prospered. Then
he entered a business deal with Tex
Richard whereby he became boss OF
the gymnasium being operated in con
nection with Madison Square Garden
AS time fitted, philadelphia jack
blue ribbon faker of the other days
sought to establish himself on the pin
acle occupied by old-timers who hon
ored and glorified-never disgraced-
the prize ring.
And then the lightning hit.
During the years that philadelphia
Jack" was in his prime, there was a
middleweight operating who called
himself New York Jack" O'Brien. He
quit the ring about the same time as
philadelphia Jack" and became g
theatrical performer.
Not so long ago somebody, meeting
New York Jack, got him confused
with Philadelphia jack. This nettled
New York Jack" who, it is alleged
spoke along these lines:
Don't get me mixed up with that
Philadelphia faker"
This remark-or a kindred one
was carried along to "Philadelphia
Jack who, thereupon. according t.
New York Jack" made a statement
something like this:
Issues Fatal Denial.
II wasn't the faker 1t was thi.
New York Jack O'Brien who pulled
those fake fights and everybody
