The Fighter Speaks

BY BERTON BRALEY
There's one thing gets my nanny in this game,
And that's the birds who always yell for blood,
The guys who think mill is something tame
Unless each swing is landed with a thud
cut out the tango steps" these bmboes bawL
When you boxin' pretty, the watch
For openings. They think a fights stall
Unless each fighter is scarlet spotch.
Who are these blokes that want the gore to flow?
Just look EN- over. They're the kind Of fish
Who give took decent blow;
Say listen, If only had my wish,
I'd like to take a few Of them night
And match 'em up-then let 'em breathe the smoke
With all the crowd a yellin Make EN- fight"
Why, say-two rounds and all them babes would croak
I've gave and took my share of punishment
| know a fights fight and not a dance,
But what's the use of all the time I've spent
Learnin' to stall, and feint, and watch my chance
If boxin' science only gets jeer?
Yes that's the thing that gets fighter Sore
When all the noise he ever to hear
Is fabby, doughfaced bozos wantin' gore!

on the subject is to the effect that

5. Throwing both dignity and dis
dain to the winds. hard-headed traction
executives have decided now is a. good
time to work up new patronage. This
is being done by offering weekly
tickets good for an unlimited number
of rides within one week; by painting
cars attractively and keeping them
clean, and by teaching car crews to
add the word please" to commands
to Step forward
These phases of present street car
tendencies will be discussed in some
what greater detail in subsequent ar
ticles.

All the lines do not respond to the
same treatment. Where some make
a profit on a scent fare. others man
age to use up Decent fares without
showing a profit-at least on the
books
A review of the traction situation
the country over indicates these
general conditions:
l. Getting all the law allows is good
business from the trolley magnates'
standpoint. Practically as many
people will ride when the fare is
cents as when IT is five. Boosting
the price does not cut down the
patronage sufficiently to offset the
gain in monetary receipts.
