time, Jack" Barney Ross told
me as we sat together in his
room in the cottage set aside for him
and his training crew at Ferndale,
and Barney means it. The kid said
1t convincingly, and II he doesn't score
Ak. o. this time he surely will be
disappointed. He wasn't kidding when
he said:
"I'm training for a knockout. I'm
not worrying any more about the NC
Larnin punch. I've taken all ne had
to give, and he couldn't set me down
in 20 rounds. I did drop him, though.
And I'll do it again for keeps this
time"
The kid wasn't Dragging. He was
answering my first question, which
was:
How're you training, Barney. for
speed?"
Follows Sound Methods.
r GOT q great kick out of visiting
Ross, he's a great little fighter,
and a great little fellow. You
can gauge a fighter by his surround
ings. I mean by the kind OF fellows
he has as sparring partners, what
kind of trainer, handlers. etc, that
60 to make up his training camp.
Barney Ross is surrounded by good
men. The most important thing, from
my point of view, is the sparring
partners. Barney has three good ones,
Phil Rafferty,, Sammy Meadows and
a very promising kid named Andy
Miritello. Art Winch is a fine train
er. His chef is Otto Weimann, the
chap who did the chefing for Max
Schmeling when Max held the title.
That Immediately puts the idea of
weight in your mind. So I asked
Barney what he weighs now.
We're going to have an ofiicial
weighing-in Thursday" cut in Art
Winch.
III go in there about 139 pounds
this time, I think" said Barney.
Ross, while he looks very trim, has
grown bigger. You wouldn't notice
it, but last year he wore size 1413
shirt. Today he wears 1871. That
means his neck has grown an inch
thicker When he is stripped down
there isn't much difference to be
noted, but to me the kid has that
hard" look. mean his sinews look
as if they could stand lot Of tough
work.
Has Plenty Of Craft.
VYIHEN it comes to boxing, Ross
w knows all about that. In his
other fights I always noticed
he was great blocker. Now he isn't
blocking so much. He's in there
winging.
never was a blocker. It takes
one Of your hands out of action tc
block punch. If you pull away, OF
evade the other fellows punch, you've
got two mitts to deal 1t out with in
stead of one.
Ross said as I was leaving:
Remember that time we were COM
ing from Cincinnati, you and and
Gig Rooney? You showed me this
left to the body. You darned neal
killed me when you showed it, but
never said anything at the time
Now it's my best punch. Watch and
see if it doesn't beat McLarnin!"
When you consider that Barney
Ross never before said he'd knock out
an opponent-and he said this to me
not to a gang Of listeners-you know
the kid means it. And what's more
important, he believes it.

Beating BY Louis Hurt.


TOR that initial scrap Brown prob
ably was in the worst condition
he has been since he took a new
lease on life in the Spring Of 1884
and began a campaign that resulted
in Is fights without defeat.
Matte had just taken his first beat
ing since that sensational splurge
when he met Everett the first time.
Joe Louis did the trick in Detroit,
and the beating did Brown no good.
For 10 rounds he was battered. cut
and knocked groggy by the smashing
fists of Detroit's colored menace, and
it required time to recuperate.
Matte grew heavy and, naturally,
was softened by the beating and con-
sequent layof.
Red Barry, another local heavy
weight who fought and was knocked
out by Louis only a few weeks pre-
vious to the Brown-Louis fight, is an
even better example of the average
pugilist after a set-to with the De-
troit Destroyer. Barry not only has
failed to win fight since, but has
failed to finish on his feet, and the
foemen who have been knocking Red
dead are, to put it mildly, not classy

Al Has the Personal Touch

HOWEVER, a certain odium attaches to the term
L i night club 1t is remembered that the late
Legs Diamond and other undesirable characters once
were the leading magnateS of the night club profess
sion and that many respectable citizens clipped
in night clubs. Therefore, in view of Mr.. Rookie
feers clear record it is generally preferred refer
to his place by the more wholesome name of saloon
and dance hall. The police report that it is a
fined orderly place, no complaints having been re-
ceived of fighting, clipping or offensive dancing.
Mr.. Rockefeller, being of rather retiring nature,
does not mix with his customers and talk over the
old days when he contributing large sums to the
Anti-Saloon League. But Mr. Smith, always an easy
mixer, makes frequent personal appearances in his
saloon when he is in town. Like, Mr.. Dempsey MIR.
Smith shakes hands with the sightseers, gives them
his autograph and builds up his business by the
personal touch.
Saloon lovers of the new school are eagerly wait
ing to see whether the Messrs Rockefeller, Smith
and Dempsey will revive old sentimental saloon
keepers custom Of cleaning out the till of evening
and taking crowd of friends on tour of the rival
saloons gesture Of good will. The late John l..
Sullivan used to do this and sentimental he
that in time he found himself hanging around rival
saloons exclusively and shaking hands with his rivals
customers who focked to see him.
That, Of course, was Carrying the amenity to
foolish extreme but it would be revival of pretty
little tradition if Mr.. Rockefeller should drop into
AIS place and the Sportsmens rest to give his rivals
a play, the saying used to co. and they should
make point of calling on him and one another
There time few years ago when it
unthinkable that Mr.. Tunney should open saloon
called Genes Place, possibly dropping letter out
of the word saloon" so as to make it read salon"
True, saloon keeping the traditional fudllment
of the career of former heavyweight champion of
the world, but there was something about the pro-
fession of saloon keeping and something about the
social character of Mr.. Tunney which made the idea
a tri1e incongruouS.

ecstasy, even a little more mild
JOY, out of life by then ordained
to have a darkling end.
Interest in the letters has grown,
too, because of the mystery of
their origin. The catalog of the
sale merely said they came from
the nobleman to whom they had
descended by inheritance" They
were said to have been found by
accident in an ancient Austrian
castle.
THE word of that find flashed
l. around the world. Biblio-
philes from London to Singapore
we're fascinated. They knew that
Frederic, Mason, who had de-
voted a lifetime to Napoleonic
study, building up a tremendous
Recommendation about him, had
been obliged in his volume, "L'Jm-
peratrice Marie Louise" to make
this melancholy admission:
81 lack a vital element; the
correspondence between Marie
Louise and Napoleon during the
three years, 1872, 1918 and 1914.
"They wrote to each other daily,
often several times a day, and of
these thousands of letters, apart
from the official dispatches, I
have discovered but one from the
wife and five or six from the
husband.
For this fearful gap, which in
all likelihood will never be
bridged, I have made up to the
best of my ability, but all too i'm
perfectly"
Other Napoleonana the colieo-
tors have found in abundance,
while the love letters of the mid
die years have remained mys-
terry; they have found hundreds

strong lettered ones to the last
Scrawled ones.
There, for example, is the record
of the day, May 10, 1904, when the
little Corsican became the En-
peror of the French, and jettisoned
then, forever, the surname Bona
parte." Then, in his chirog-
raphy he became Napoleon" with
the name dashed off in an arro-
CANT flourish.
Thomas F. Madigan, New York's
most noted authority on auto
graphs, explained today that the
arrogance had been observable in
earlier writing as the Little Cor
poral's military stature grew.
He had been making the Bona
parte" Of his signature holder. 1t
had become "BoNAParte" The
three letters, NAP, in the middle
of the name, had been written
much as the three letters later
were written in the name, NAP

was obvious, was dreaming Of
kingship.

THEN, as the power of the
l. name increased, as the little
mans duties multiplied, the sigma
ture grew shorter; the young and
ambitious Bonaparte had signed
the name in full; the older, mighty
Napoleon decided that was not
necessary. His last letters tapered
off into an almost unacceptable
Scrawl; the signature finally be-
came "Napol," or 'Napoln," or
NAP" or merely a regal, wavering

according to Mr.. Madigan, is no
rarity, but his letters in full

his handwriting was atrocious. He

my mind is engaged on two sub

go on fastest, and then good
by to the letters and the lines
So often his letters ended in
nothing more impressive than a
blot. AS result, the greater part
of his correspondence was die
tated to his aids, and the items
are not known as holographs.
The fact that the 318 letters to
Marie Louise are photographs is
one of the considerations that
makes them of priceless value
both to the historian seeking clews
to personality in handwriting and
language, and to the collector
1t is true that they are no more
legible than most of the emperor's
other writings; to decipher them
has been a grueliig task for eX-
perts, and the scholars in Ma
poleonana disclose that even when
Marie Louise received them she
could not read them; one of the
ladies of her court had to tell her
the words.
FINALLY the letters from Elba,
Il with the Little Corporal's sun
then far down in the sky, bore
only wretched "Napn" at the
end; but at the very end, from st.
Helena, in shaken, crooked letters
came the old brave signature of
young manhood, in full-".Bona-
parte."
Of this writing, of the letters
to Josephine, scholars have known
for decades. But they wondered
about the three years when Ma
poleon was counting Marie Louise
"a letterless stretch in history.
Now, at last, word comes across
the years. The 318 letters Napoleon
wrote in that time turned up and
the government of France-the
Prime Minister, M. Flandin; the
Minister of National Education, M.
Mallarme-decided that they must
forever belong to France.
Charles de Ia Ronciere, Chief
Custodian, Bibliotheque National
of France, writes:
From the very first, indeed, the
Administration General, Julien
Cain, took i'll hand the work Of

In the evening of Dec. II

Cain the news of the victory.
."Napoleons letters, said the
message, had reverted to his own
country; from London Napoleon's
letters were coming back to Paris.
