He had allowed sentiment to inter-
fere with his fighting. He had in
suited the fans by permitting a man
to stay to the end
Later when asked why he had not
finished his man when he could, the
lad only replied: II did not have to
knock him out. He was beaten and
was not even dangerous. Wasn't it
better to let him last to the end than
hurt is record by having Knockout
scored against him?"
The man who asked him was a
hardened old veteran of a hundred
moons.
Say, kid, you can't mix that soft
stuff with your mitts," the veteran
came back, IF you expect to stay
out in front you want to get as many
kayces to your credit as you can. Any
time a man gets a chance to put you
to sleep with glove he is going to
&c it and let your record go hang.
Get that!"
"Yessir," Johnnie replied politely
and began to wonder why one must
kill man in order to satisfy the fans.
In truth, he had a great horror of
being knocked out himself; and he
reasoned that if he did not knock
out a man, no man would try to
knock him out. This he reasoned in
spite of that vain try of Browns in
the last round.
my boy" said Cans the next day,
"You did well, very well, for your
first fight. But you must learn to
finish your man when you get him
as you had Brown last night. Just
clip 'em on the jaw and the quick
money is yours"
"Yessir. But I'm not after the quick
money. 1 want to beat the man who
beat you. That's all"
"Umph," grunted Cans, You'll
learn some day."
But once since then did Cans say
anything so prophetic and that was
when he stood at the side of the ring
in which Jeffries was to give an ex-
hibition and say that he believed that
Johnson would whip the big cham
pion. Truly enough, Johnnie did
learn and it was a serious setback
to his way of thinking.
He had travelled along nicely beat
ing every person whom he met on
points. Not once did he try to knock
out a man, and for that matter, it
was never observed that he even
caused his opponents head to rock or
his body to cave under the impact of
his blows.
Just before Larkins was to learn
the memorable lesson, that Cans had
prophesied, he entered boxing
tournament.
The little fellow was weighing in"
now at one hundred and eighteen
pounds. He was the finished product
of Gans's training. When he entered
to compete in the semi final-O, yes,
he was a semi-finalist by now-he
was given a fine hand for one so
young and had not a Knockout
to his credit-one who had won SOLE

/ do not mean that the lad was in
clined to be rowdy; but want you
to know and remember this: all red
blooded boys have fights and make
enemies, and then have some more
fights until they reach the age when
they learn that discretion is the bet
ter part of valor anu become towards
and law abiding citizens-even as you
and I-who take an insult rather than
be brought before a court of justice
for disorderly conduct.
Or, perhaps it was Johnnie'S own
mistake to tell the world that he was
prize fighter when he had not even
thoroughly acquired the rudiments OF
the art. Be that as it may, it was
Johnnie who received he beatings
and it was johnnie who was a wiser
and better boy for the receiving. The
thrashings taught him that he could
not whip everybody: there were some
people who could give him just as
good as he had hoped to give them.
Improved by the results of his mis-
takes, Young Larkins blossomed forth
in preliminary. under the direction
of Al Hereford, the promoter No, ne
did not fight under his own name
but chose pseudonym. 1t was a
round affair-Hereford said, six
rounds or less"-with the veteran
Cans as third man.
In this bout, Johnnie proved that
he was of championship caliber. His
lightning like left found mark on
his opponent whenever it left john
MES side. A terrific right hook shook
his man from his head to his heels.
In fact, there was little to it in that
bout but Johnnie.
And his opponent could not hit
him with bag of rice. He would
step inside of swings; turn just
enough for jab to slide by; block
uppercuts; and always be going away
when what was intended for jolt
landed lightly on his brown body.
For five rounds those who had the
good fortune to be present saw a
Cans in miniature.
Then came that terrible sixth.
bTOWll, Iilc OppOilCho, iCdAiDiii6 eAAeS0
his only hope for victory lay in a
knockout at the last minute, came
from his corner like an enraged bull,
and bore in upon his adversary with
what would be called in legal circles
murderous intent. Young Larkins
was rushed into a corner and had
much difficulty lodging hooks and
jolts that were intended to put him
to sleep.
Then suddenly the sound of leather
and flesh coming in violent contact
sounded about the hall Brown reel
ed and leaned on the ropes. He had
been the recipient of Johnnie's most
vicious blow of the evening, a hard
right jolt to the body. Instantly
Larkins was upon him and the crowd
was yelling at the youth to finish him.
Instead the youngster just stood there
and allowed the injured man to clear
his head, regain his wind and begin
to swing a weak but hopeful hand
at him.
1t is strange, but true, that a crowd
at fights hates the tender hearted
fighter who allows his antagonist to
linger to the end when a push would
end the fight. 1t is for that reason
that Gans's protege although a Win
ner, was booed as he left the ring.

it. The English team, led by Capt. Roark, has
come TO the United States with high hopes of
bringing polo supremacy back to the tight
little isle. And they are prepared to meet tha
Americans at their own game. Among the in
vaders are several men who both know and
practice the American style. Capt Roark, the
Irish ace, played against the United States in
the 1927 series. Moreover in 1928 and again
last year he returned here to study our meth
obs and strategy. His young brother, Alden,
who left the emerald isle an unranked player
has climbed the polo ladder in New York for
the last three years. Gerald Balding emgrated
from England when stil youngster and he
has played all his polo in the United States.

HE took two companions into the plot with

carry out their plan they were informed that
they were to be transferred to another camp.
This meant that they would be searched-and
that meant the abandonment of the map and
compass.
While the train which they were being
transferred was taking on freight at a station
their guard fell asleep. map was sticking
temptingly out of his pocket Young Hitchcock
appropriated it. The three prisoners went into
q huddle and decided to jump off the tram
after it pulled out of the station, where there
were too many people for a safe break for free
dom.
But the guard awoke, rubbed his eyes and
looked for his map. Hitchcock realized that
che time had come to act. Leaping to the
station platform, he began race for his life.
HIS difficulty was not with the guard-it was
with the crowd in the station that set out
not-foot after him. Though the shouting
frantic mob pressed close behind him, his
athletes legs stood him in good stead and he
held his lead until he reached the shelter of a

suits were far from encouraging to the island

by the one-sided score OF Is to S, Hitchcock
alone scoring six times-and America won the
second and final game, IA to S. Practically
the entire burden Of defending the English
goal devolved upon Lewis Lacey the South
American Britisher Lacey gave a wonderful
exhibition of polo. but no single individual
could cope with the smooth running, high
geared machine from the United States. When

was sure to find the grim figure of Devereux
Milburn barring his path. AS the Prince of
Wales summed it up afterward 1.-THE Ameri-
cans were team of Laccys."
Came 1927 and with it one of the most color
ful and romantic events in polo history. Polo
in England was not in very dourishing state,
and Britain began to despair of putting a
strong team into the field for the international
cup matches. Then word reached London that

a spirit of enthusiasm and esprit de corps
swept the land. The Maharajah of Jodhpur
set a golden example by turning over his
famous stud to the English players and by
making a generous contribution TO their ex-
pense fund Fellow officers gave, loaned or
sold their best mounts to the team which
was to represent them the other side of
the world In time, all preparations were
completed, and men and horses began the
trip that took them three fourths the way
around the globe
Constant rains interfered with the practice

persisted that IL was the best polo four that
England had produced in many long year.
Consequently, at the first game the atrSios-

ton. Our accustomed polo arrogance suffered
a shock when we were forced to take second
place in tournament at the Olympic games.
1t is true that Hitchcock was the only inter-
nationalist on the team representing the United
States and that Argentina beat us by the mar
gin of a single goal scored I'm the last few
minutes of play, but still, the with which
we had conquered all other opponents had led
us to regard victory our right.
IT was generally felt that the Argentine chal-
lenge to the supremacy of the United States
could not be ignored, so match arranged
for that year, 1928. The visiting team gained
a powerful recruit when Lewis Lacey the
Anglo-Saxon Argentine, decided to throw in his
lot with the land of his adoption. The pTac-
tice games of the ArgentineS were watched
with keen interest. So brilliant was the play
of Miles and the ever daring Lacey and such
capable support did they receive from Kenny
and Nelson that when the day for the first
match arrived they actually favored to
beat the hitherto invincible Yankees Malcolm
Stevenson, winston Guest Averill Hartman
and Tommy Hitchcock made up the quartet of
American centaurs. Missing from the lineup,
however was the mighty Devereux Milburn.
The initial game of the SERIES from start to
finish was lxnock-down drag-out fight. First
one team and then the other gained the lead,
quickly to lose it. When the last chukker be-
gan the score was tied. With but few min
utes left for play, the black-haired Hartman
gained possession of the ball and found no
body between him and the Argentine goal. The
crowd rose in excitement as he galloped down
the field and made what proved to be the win
ming score. At once the ArgentineS launched
desperate rally that just fell short of success.
The final whistle blew while the ball was roll
ing tantalizingly past Americas goal, bare
foot or so wide of the mark
Victory restored the optimism of the polo
fans and the second game opened with high
hopes for a clean sweep of the series. But,
alas, the visiting players were at the top of
their game. Slowly the Argentine lead in
creased until at the end of the last chukker
the score was 10 to in favor of the invaders.
Black, indeed, the outlook for the United
States.
Desperate situations demand desperate REM
edies. Polo players remembered how Deyer-
eux Milburn's mighty hitting from backflelo
had made the American defense an impreg-
nable stone wall. There was only one man
who could drive, foot for foot, with Milburn-
and that was Tommy Hitchcock 1t was de-
