WELLS THE TOUGHEST
 OPPONENT
Chapter XXIV

Chapter XXIV By GEORGES CARPENTER Copyright 1920. by United Feature Syndicate. All rights reserved. Reproduction prohibited) The hardest fight 1 ever expert enced was not the bout with Klaus not that with Papke nor any of the earlier fights. They were very hard and I lost. The humiliation was de-
 pressing and I almost lost confidence in myself over them. but the very hardest bout of my career and one
 which I now recall with the greatest horror was my first battle with the
 wonderful Englishman. Bombardier Wells. who held the English heavy weight championship at one time. must have been amazingly self confident to consider myself capable
 of beating this great boxer for he was the personification of boxing class.
 But when Descamps came to me
 with the news that an effort was be-
 ing made to match me with Wells
 recalled that at one time, when small
 sr. I had promised myself fight with
 him when I grew older. This was
 when was in England and prepara
 tons were being made to match
 Wells with Jack Johnson. I spared
 with Wells and he severly punished
 me one afternoon. I told myself then that perhaps the day would come
 when I would see if I could lower
 the sails of this man.
 After the match was made and I was almost crushed with blow chided myself severely for having ever considered that I might be able to defeat him. AS events have turned out I was his master from the start,
 but there was a time when it seemed
 I had committed the most monstrous folly when entered the ring with him.
 My easy victory over Bandsman Rice. however had filled me with
 hope that might some day replace Jack Johnson as the worlds heavy
 weight champion and Wells certainly
 was capable of giving me a trial if any one was.
 Wells is a very tall man, consid
 cred as I must consider such things, and he possesses a phenomenal reach. These things combined to make my
 task against him a most difficult one.
 But I knew tht if I could only win from this giant, the best big man in
 England, my way to fame and for
 tune would be started, so I said to Descamps:
 Make the match at once and I be- Iieve I shall beat him. But if I should lose what are the odds? I can lose nothing but the fight, for people will sympathize with me and say that I lost only because I went out of my class"
 Writers in England and France be- ~an to offer me their condolences. They were certain I should be beaten
 and Descamps was ridiculed for sacri-
 ficing meto the big man. I was con
 hdent. however, for I felt that once
 would l come to grips with Wells I
 should beat him. for my newly prac-
 ticed art on infghting would be suf-
 ficient, I felt.
 Wells has been in the United States, people here do not need to be told
