man. Like Kilbane's bout with
Leonard, Il was a handicap match,
Wilde giving away weight. He was
never stopped before.
In England a knockout is not
seriously regarded, anyway. The
knocked-out one merely gets a
new haircut and shave, and Ia
ready for another battle. Over
here a X. o. is considered a heavy
setback, but the fact that it Is
not necessarily such, is shown by
this story.
Carpenter has been the most
knocked-out Of all the champs. He
was slugged by Gloria In eight
rounds, by Billy Papke in seven
teen and by Frank Klaus in nine
teen. The last bout appears in Car
pentier's record as lost on a foul.
Finally he was knocked away from
his notions by Jack Dempsey in
four rounds.

Honey Mellody's Claim.

" oNEY MELODY. of Bos-
ton, long since forgotten,
- though a wonderful puncher
in his day, used to claim the
title because he won from Joe
Walcott in San Francisco on .
foul in 1905. but Walcott had lost
the crown by that time and Mello-
dy earned nothing except the vic
tory.
Because he defeated Melody
Mike Twin Sullivan. Of Cambridge.
Mass, used to claim the title, but
he had no RIGHT to IL.
Before Britton claimed the title
in 1916 a New York welterweight,
Kid Graves, claimed the title, but
he had no especial claim to it. He
fought many no-decision bouts with
the best men in his class, but sell
dom fought to a decision. In 1914,
for instance, he fought Jack Brit
ton twice, Mike Gibbons, Soldier
Bartfield three times, Mike Glover
and Johnny Alberts.
In 1915 Graves won from Harry
Greb when the Pittsburgher broke
his arm in the second round at
Pittsburgh. But that was Graves
single victory. No-decision bouts
included those with Kid Alberts,
Jack Britton, Harry Stone, Kid
Lewis and Mike 0'Dowd, later to
become the worlds middleweight
champion.
Graves later went to Australia
where he did very we'll, but he
never had a real claim on the title
and today Jack Britton is the ac-
knowledged welterwei,'t champion.
II Leonard defeats him, he will
have a clear claim to the title.

There is knockout in Jack
Dempsey's record, credited to Jim
Flynn, the old Fighting Fireman
from Pueblo. 1t is now generally
believed that Jack "took one on
this occasion and was never out,
but fistic history will carry it on
down as written to future genera
tons, who will not inquire into the
details.
In the thriving city OF Cleveland,
O., they are firmly convinced that
Johnny Wilson, the middleweight
champion, was duly unconscious, or
at least tout Of time" in his bout
with Bryan Downey, yet no knock
out-by obtains in Johns record. He
has been on the floor and has lost
decisions, but it appears he man
aged to retain consciousness FOR the
purpose of the book, at all events.
Britton Has Escaped.
TACK BRITTON is the only other
champion who has never been
- knocked simple by an opponent.
He, too, has lost decisions and has
had his back in the resin dust, but
he always got up again.
Benny Leonard has twice been
counted out. In 1912, his first year
at the professional game, he was
stopped by Joe Shugrue in four
rounds. Shugrue was one of the
most promising boxers that ever
peeked through the ropes until his
eyesight became affected, and he
had to quit.
Again in 1913 Leonard was
knocked out by frankie Fleming
this time in four rounds. Flem-
ing was a good, tough youngster
at the time, but you could hardly
class him with Leonard now
During the early part Of his box
ing career, Benny was a light
Taper. and 1t was not until 1915
that he suddenly discovered q
punch.
Since then Leonard has rolled
up a list Of knockouts that is
equalled by few other fighters. 1t
is not until you commence to ex-
anime into Leonard's knockout roll
that you realize what a puncher he
has been.
Johnny Kilbane's record would
be spotless IL he hadn't run into
Leonard. Before he won the
featherweight title Johnny had lost
ten-round decision to Abe Attell
and twenty-rounder to oe River 3
but he was never stopped until
he met Leonard in Philadelphia In
1917. He was knocked stiff in

The bucket shops o. New York
and other places nave just taken a
few hundred millions out Of silly
people who think there is some way
to put in little money and soon get
rich and comfortable. When anyone
offers over six per cent for money
the offer should not be jumped at.
There are few investments that
do pay better tran six per cent but
probably none whatever that pay
above seven and very few at that
figure that a banker would advise as
proper for people who want absolute
safety Perfect security means mod
crate interest rates. The schemes
that claim to offer a clance Tor big
profits quickly through putting in
small sums OF money are practically
all fraudulent. 1t used to be said
that there rs a sucker born every
minute With the great increase in
population in this country, they
come faster than that now.
