second, but I do not recall hearing it. Undoubtedly it saved me from defeat.
 The faithful and frantic Descamps leaped into the ring and with the sec onds worked so effectively during the rest period that I was able to ward off Lewis until I recovered my bearings, which, however, did not occur until four rounds later. In the thirteenth l had recovered so fully that I was able to swing the tide of victory my way, so that at the beginning of the four teenth I was confident that l should win.
 We fought very hard until the start of the very last. The situation was a thrilling one for the spectators. Each of us had tried everything We knew from the thirteenth round on and, while I believed I possessed an ad- vantage, due to superior boxing skill the crafty Lewis was fighting hard and had me sorely perplexed.
 So, when the twentieth started we were confronted by this situation: Neither of us had been able to gain an advantage which assured victory. There fore we were eager to accumulate points by a rallying finish Lewis started very strong. He rushed me, both fists flying. but | avoided him and within d few seconds knew the fight was mine. My tactics had sue ceeded Lewis was too worn to com bat the swift pace l set and had the satisfaction of hearing two of the judges render decision in my favor when the round ended. The third judge voted for no decision.
 It was a crucial point in my career, for Lewis was very formidable op- ponent. and one about whom l had grave doubts. My victory over him. therefore filled me. as we'll as Des- camps. with the most joyful spirit. The joy. however. soon was to turn to bitter dregs. This American, who had so dazzled me by his ability, was in reality leading me to q bed of thorns, for he caused me to over-estimate my ability. My defeating him made me, as you would say, far too cocky.

 Following this bout with Sullivan came tho most trying period in my life. 1 beat George Gunther, tho American negro. shortly afterward. earning n decision on points.
 This battle was but an event in my life. but twelve days later l began n series Of encounters that are a night marc to me. Not that the opponents I met were repulsiye. Quite the con- trary, for they were the means of forming wonderful acquaintances, but the suffering I endured in the prepara- tion for those bouts and in tho fighting itself is indescribable. "Poor Georges" I thought afterword. "what an insane child to attempt such madness"
 However time has healed the wounds and more fame has come to mo through the bouts. probably. than should have otherwise gained.
 IL is with a feeling of admiration for the wonderful fighters of the United States that I say Americans were the men who taught me the bitter lessons of which I speak, and the facts I shall tell you here will only serve to bear out my first statements in these arti- cles:: That America has sent me much Knowledge of fighting.
 shortly after I fought Sullivan l met Willie Lewis. the American welter- weight whom l consider q credit to the ring sport. He did a wonderful work in spreading love for boxing in my native land and We arc deeply grateful to him for it. In later days it was Lewis who schooled me in perfection of two American fighting characteristics the 'one-two'' punch, with which I already was somewhat familiar. and tho infighting tactics which have prov en so successful.
 Lewis taught me more in the twenty rounds we fought than l ordinarily would learn in twenty distinct fights. Now I am very fond of Willie Lewis. count him among my best friends. Therefore 1t Is not to his discredit that tell you that he particularly eX- asperated me during our bout. He did many things that were not ethical. but | have since learned 1t Is the habit of American lighters to employ little tricks in the ring. and that they are adept in keeping these things from the referee. Therefore l do not blame him. for he ptlltNGu AIAA NOulu dl- tempt the same thing.
 We started our bout very carefully, neither of us willing to give the other the chance for an advantage until we had carefully studied the situation. After the first round. though, Lewis. tmpulsivc and eager to win quickly, began to force the issue and soon had me on the run. | adopted my old tac- ties of allowing this man to charge and rush until he should tire himself. Then l would attempt to finish him off.
 But in the eighth round it came very near being little Georges who was fin ished. for Lewis struck me squarely with a right hand swing that sent me catapulting to the floor. Descamps has told me the bell rang at the seventh

WHERE IS THE COAL ?
tF'rosn Valdez Mine)


 Five years ago this month tho government railroad to the coal fields at Matanuska and Eska creek was completed, and the Matanuska branch at Chickaloon four years age. Ever since these dates announce- ment has been made Gin Washing tom that the Pacific coast would be flooded with cheap fuel. The Eska mine was opened in 1915. and has supplied limited local trade since tha. time.
 For five years published state ments have been made by naval off cers that the steaming qualities of the Matanuska coal were better than those of any known deposits.
 At the same time the residents of Seward and other towns contiguous and adjacent to these mines have been using British Columbia coal at an enormous price
 With the present high cost of fuel and the greatest shortage ill history il would appear that now was the opportune time to market this vast reserve. Good business would sug- gest that every effort be made to get
