Mcfarland, and the latter's
manager. They conlpained bit
terly. and their means of pro-
test grew in volume when the
veteran stalled and boxed care
fully through the first three
rounds. They figured he was
too old to keep going for the
long route but might last
through the shorter one.
The old-timer finally took
matters into his own hands. In

ager and shouted:
Eight rounds or twelve?"
The manager glanced at his
hurt warrior. and answered
quickly:
Eight"
He figured that Mcfarland
would have plenty of troubles
with a guy who could hit like
that, and the shorter the fight
the better. Otto might be an
old man but he could still ring
the bell with a gloveful of
knuckleS.
Thoughtful at Treat
That was Otto's last appear
ance in the squared circle. Jack
lasted the eight rounds, because
Otto thought him a good fellow,
and didn't see how a knockout
would help him while it would
hurt the kid. Just good old ten
der heart, that's all.
The hitter is the real drama
tist of the fight racket. His eli
max comes with explosive power,
and the brightest memories Of
battles fought have been fur
nished by such fellows as Demp-
Sey, Berlenbach, Ketchel, Nc
Govern, CLANCY and Otto. They
may wallow and founder
against clever men for a while
but when they cracked down the
lights went out and the custom
ers started for home. There
were no ifs, ands and butts about
their finishes.
But Young Otto stands as a
model for youthful fighters not
only because of his hitting pow
ers but because he had enough
respect for his body to take care
OF it. He didn't come out of a
double decade of warfare punch
drunk and ruined physically.
Takes Care of Self
When he stopped fighting he
did not stop taking care of him
self. He is over fifty now, but
his stomach is flat and his
muscles like rock. And I would
MT mind laying a modest z to S
that he can still hit hard enough
to flatten a lot of ambitious
young athletes. It's queer that,
while a man may lose speed and
Judgment of distance, he can
still get the old snap into his
punches.

Young Otto ever had in his
prime. but not one could throw
a punch the way he did when
the flush of youth was in his
veins.
And if any of them are In az
good condition at fifty as Old
Right Hand Crazy is now they'll
be doing a very swell Job for

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-His
name is Arthur Susskind, but it
Is doubtful if one boxing fan in a
thousand would recognize him
under that cognomen. But, as
Young Otto, he is remembered
rs one Of the great right-hand
hitters Of all time. In his long
career he scored more one
round knockoutS than any slug.
ger who edged his name and
fame into the record books.
During his career Otto has the
unique experience of meeting
eight champions. Abe Attell,
Joe Cans, Battling Nelson,
Freddy Welsh, Benny Leonard,
Ted Kid Lewis, Jack Britton and
AL Mccoy. Those who are still
alive will doubtless testify that
the New Yorker was the most
murderouS, pound for pound,
they ever saw.
He scored 10 knockoutS in less
than 16 minutes, an achievement
that even Jack Dempsey, STAN
ley Ketchel or Terry McGovern
could not duplicate. The funny
part Of it. and it is unusual for
q slugger to last so long. .. is
that he started his career in
1900 and did not make his first
gesture toward retirement until
1918.
Four years after he hung up
his gloves, Young Otto started
refereeing at Mitchell Field. In
his first appearance he worked
through the preliminaries and
semifinal, and was waiting for
the main event boys to enter the
ring when the promoter came to
him with a tale Of woe. It
seemed that the boy who was
to fight Barry Norton had failed
to show. There wasn't another
lightweight in the place. Would
Otto be good enough to take over
the assignment himself?
Like Old Fire Horse
The one-time king of the slug
gers didn't think so much of the
idea at first. He was over 40
years old, and hadn't been in
action for a long while. But
he was like an old fire horse
that hears the alarm bell while
chewing grass in the pastures.
It would be fun to get in there
once more, even if he was
licked. So he said yes. They
called in another referee: Otto
changed from his gray uniform
to ring pants, and went into
action.
For the first three rounds he
was cautious. After all, he was
no chicken. and Norton had
the reputation of being a hard.
hitting and promising young.
ster. But you can't change a
mans whole trend of thought
in q few minutes. In the fourth
round Otto stopped boxing and
started to punch. and that
was the end of Barry Norton.
Thereupon the veteran de-
eided to become an Army
fighter. There were a few
ducats to be picked up, and
the going wasn't as tough as
among the regular profession
ais. Apparently the officials
were none too strict, either, for
he engaged in IA fights as a
supposed soldier, scoring an
even dozen knockouts.
In one of his last Army bouts
Otto was starred by the Ameri-
can Legion Of Railway, New
Jersey. The arena was built
among back yards, and the L.e-
gionnaires tore down the
fences to find room enough to
pitch their ring. Otto had
counted too many ''houses" in
his day not to realize that the
gate would be a slim one.

Arguing that the masculine insist

Not long ago I saw a number o1
editorials saying that it was all very
well for women to think that the work
which they do outside of their homes
is useful or important, but it is really
negligible in comparison to the jot

ATTACKED BY BOWIE
Fails to Provide Personnel, Says
Member of Committee

Commissioners to draft a new smoke
law, declared today.
The committees draft of the bill

for months.
Roberts drafted his bill, now before
Congress, at the request of several
women's organizations who are cam
paigning for an effective means of
controlling smoke nuisance. 1t seeks
to confer general powers on the Com
missioners, leaving to them the draft
ing of necessary regulations. Any
District agency, such as the Police or
Engineer Departments, could be called
upon for enforcement, Roberts said.
Mr. Bowie said regulations covering
installation of low-pressure heating
equipment and provision for a tech

MORGAN TO RAISE
| DEMOCRAT FUNDS
Farm Credit Official Resigns
to Head Drive to Wipe
Out Deficit.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
w. Forbes Morgan, deputy governor
of the Farm Credit Administration,
will resign next week to head the
campaign to raise funds to clean up
the Democratic party's s50o,0o0
deficit and obtain additional money
for the 1896 campaign.
He said today that efforts to raise
cash will not follow the usual pro-
cedure Of State quotas and extensive
advertising, but will be conducted
privately-pronably through a COM
mittee representing all sections Of the
country.
Some time ago it was indicated that
influential party members over the
country would be asked to contribute
substantial sums to wipe out the long
standing deficit, and that all inter-
ested Democrats would be encouraged
to give smaller sums in the drive to
get money to carry the National Com
mittee until the opening of the 1886
campaign and to finance the cam
paign itself.
Morgan is related to the President
by marriage and his selection to lead
the financial drive was taken as a
definite indication that the President
certainly would be candidate to sue
ceed himself. During the last cam
paign. Morgan served as secretary OF
the National Committees Finance
Committee, helping Frank c. Walker,
treasurer, raise more than 100000.
He also handled finances of the
Roosevelt campaign prior to the Chi
