two bases, which Snyder took, scoring
when Burns was thrown out at first
by Crane. Bancroft lifted a high ny
over short, which luckily fell safely
between Duncan, ROush and Crane,
for a single, Brown coming home and
Bancroft going to second when Dun
can threw wildly to first. Fr,sch
tripled to deep right and scored Ban
croft, coming in himself on Young's
single to left. Here ColHmbe was sue
cecdcd by Napier right handler.
Kelly singled OFF Napier to left, send
ing Young to third whence he scored
on Napier's wild pitch to Walker, who
had been sent in to bat for King.
This made five runs. Walter was
thrown out at first by Crane, and
Rapp by Napier. Every member OF
the team had batted during the in
ming.
Further It is worth adding only
that Pat Moran sent in RoEge to re-
love Napier at the beginning Of the
seventh and OF course that the
Giants will play the Reds again to-
day.

the former English champion and,

Occasions.

IN the world. He has O fine style,

doubt. | pay tribute to him as well as
10 the Americans for helping me
move to "A higher place as a boxer.
The bout between Wells and John
son never took place. The English
sporting public could not stomach the
appearance Of the black champion
under the circumstances and he and
Wells were both called up in court

which, | believe, was the sum he gen
orally set on his services as a boxer.
My trip to London, however, was
productive Of some fighting. Sid
Burns, a London Hebrew, was my
| first opponent, and he was a very
clever boxer. l was hard pressed to
defeat him.
Following this bout I was matched
with Young Joseph. then the British
! lightweight champion. / beat him
when his seconds threw in a towel at

So, the never-failing Friendship OF

after the scout with Joseph, I'VE shall

So back to Paris did we go and
after a few days in that wonder city
travelled northward, where l knocked
out fighter named LacroiX and won
several other inconsequential bouts.
Harry Lewis was among the first
OF the good men to come across the
seas to challenge me. He was a
heavy welterweight at the time and
l was about the same poundage. He
had met some OF the best this country
had and had given n good account Of
himself ] was most eager, for that
reason, TO have try at him.
American boxers, in my native land,
are given a great deal OF credit for
what they have done in the ring And
why not? DO not most Of the ring
championships belong in this 'coun-
try? 1t is n certainty. Only one be-
longs to a native OF another land.
True, we believe we have in France
men who can hold their own with
champions, but we shall see about
that too. BE il sufficient for me to
tell you that the appearance Of the
Americans in Paris was only a signal
for me to plead with Descamps to get
me match with one of them.
And so he did. He matched me
with Harry Lewis.

Lewis came to France with a rcpu-

men in the ring. l believe that is the
proper characterization in this coun-
try for man who can stand much
punishment. That he was all he was
said TO be in this respect 1 did find
