Because his act of meritorious

medal OF honor nor a distinguished

set forth that these awards are TO

the United States being technically
out of the reach of Col Rowan It
is up TO Secretary Weeks to break

Britton Wins on Foul;
Ne,U York Fans Think
Fight Was Clear Fake

have learned their parts very care
| fully. The trouble with It was tha'
the act lacked originality.
The Gans-Britt affair was much
better staged. The two manager.
expect too much credulity from
their customers. They ask them to
believe that Benny Leonard, the
coolest fighter in the ring. lost his
head. This is strictly improbable
II you will recall how cool Leonard
has been under fire. You recollect
how he acted when he was sud-
denly dropped by Ritchie Mitchell
in the Garden. It is hard TO believe
that such a consummately thought
full young business man would lose
his head.
All that Leonard had to do was
to wait until the referee had finished
the count. Haley had indicated
that the claim OF foul was not
allowed. All that Leonard had TO
do TO become welterweight cham
pion was 10 go 10 his corner and
wait until the referee had finished
the count.
The motives OF the Gans-Britt
fake were clear as crystal. Britt
never had a chance with Cans in a
real fight. consequently the ring
belacos OF San Francisco, cooked
up their melodrama. In that fight
Cans slipped TO one knee. Appar-
emily in great distress. While he was
in that position Britt rushed over
and struck him. Referee Eddie
Graney Immediately declared Britt
loser on a foul. Afterward Britt
and Cans met in a fair fight and
Britt quit, claiming a broken uina.
The inside details OF the Cans
Britt fight did not come out until
years later, when the actors and the
stage managers told Il as a good
joke. Perhaps the details OF how
this one was arranged will come
out sooner. They should.
Britton said after the bout: 'sThe
punch that dropped me was not
foul. It hit me fair enough and
Knocked the wind out of me. II
Haley thought that was claiming
foul he was mistaken. But the sec
ond blow absolutely was foul. II
hit me when 1 had one knee on the
floor.
Il am sorry II finished that way.
/ had no intention of claiming a
foul. I thought that ] was winning
easily on points when that right
landed TO the wind. 1t certainly
took my breath away. That is why
l put my hands TO my stomach"
The Leonard people declare that
BrittOn was off his knepa uybn, .ho
punch landed. They seemed angry
but not particularly depressed over
he thing.
The customers for the most part
are quite confident that something
was put over on them and are more |
DR. less curious TO know just what
{ was. You canno tread what Il was
n the inscrutable poker face of
Penny Leonard nor the pale mask
hat Britton wears for a face.
