The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-04-01

Every time he sets near them. he turns his head little md looks around. Very dangerousl
 So had been carrying the fight to him nd giving him, l thought, a neat pasting. In the sixth and eighth rounds got two good hots at his jaw. They hurt him, but when they didn't t-op him ' thought:
 Well, Jack, it's decision now"
 In the eleventh round 1t looked quite differently. My head was singing, the ring seemed going around and I thought I was gone. It has always been my contention that Leonard wasn't as smart a fighter as he is generally credited stance and 1t saved me from being knQcked out.
 Knocked On The Ropes.
 Late in the eleventh round I did the very thing that I had been trying to avoid. I stepped back from him a bullet. I tried to roll my head away from 1t but l wasn't quick enough. It caught me square on the jaw and knocked me on the ropes. remembered what we had observed in all Leonards fights--he always wins his knockouts on the ropes or in a corner. I was on the ropes and badly hurt.
 saw him coming into me and covered up my jaw. He hit me about five times on the back of the head and shoulders instead of going after the body. He stepped back to measure me and 1 made a grab for him. l knew it was my only hope and l got to him and held as hard as I ever held and along came the bell.
 Benny Loses His Hend.
 That made Benny mad and I knew it. This Is one of the reasons why I believe he lost his head later. It is highly aggravating to miss a knockout victory by such slim mar gin in a championship contest. Don't forget also that Benny wanted to be welterweight champion.
 My head was clear when I went out for the twelfth round and l kept right after him. 1 knew if l kept on him and watched him I had him beaten.
 Then came the thirteenth round We were in close In the middle of the round. Leonard got over short right-hand punch just below my heart that almost knocked the wind out of me. I held on for a few min utes, thinking that the pain would leave me, but 1t became worse. It was like a stitch or a cramp. l knew if l tried to straighten up my jaw would be wide open and I slipped down to the floor to take a count That is the reason 1t was said that no one saw the blow and that l slipped down to get a prearranged foul.
 The Real Foul.
 I nodded to Dan Morgan in my corner that was all right and just wanted the count. I was on one knee, with one hand on the canvas, watching Referee Patsy Haley count over me. 1 saw Leonard walking toward me, but l didn't pay much attention to him until he hit nle twice on the head. The force pushed me over on the floor and I yelled at Haley:
 That's a foul'
 He nodded his head in the affirma- tive and l got up and went to my corner.
 That's all there was to it. The foul blows didn't hurt me, but the one that put me down did hurt. l didn't pay much attention to the stories that went around because there was a lot of betting aon the bout and poor losers always yelp
 TheNWalker and Leonard contests practically closed my career. In the next chapter I will tell how I got started on my boxing career
 Note-In the fourth installment of My Twenty Years in the Ring" Brittoni tells of his early days, how he was accidentally thrust into box ing, in spite of much different ann bitions, and what his fathers criti- cism did for him.
