However, the Mats were NAL.
treated by a high school protege
Of the White Sox named John
Ducan Rigney, the young pitcher
who let the Mats down with six
hits. Rigney, whose main failing
has been his complete lack Of con.
troll, was in rare form yesterday.
He walked one man, Myer, and
came up with only one wild pitch
as the sum total of his wildness.
Neither naiscue figured in the Mats
scoring.
Pete Appleton, on the other
hand, pitched acceptably for the
Mats in holding the White SoX to
seven hits. In losing, Pete just
missed his third straight victory.

fellow comes when they get to
marking UP the clubs standings.

Mr.. Mead poured a gallon of
water into me, looked at the
scales again and sighed. I had
made it. I weighed 1864 pounds
including the gallon Of water
and was all set.
The extra liquid wouldn't hurt
me, we figured, because could
dry most Of it out between the
weighing in and time to- enter
the ring, 10 hours later, but it
wasn't necessary.
Because of the weather the
fight was postponed from Thurs
day to Friday, then from Fri
day to the following Tuesday,
and with that Mr.. Mead got
busy and had the weight agree
ment broken, and I settled down
to getting at my very best pound
age. I went into the ring finally
at around 1873 pounds and
never was in better shape in my
life. The outcome of the fight
proved it.
Next Fight Barney Ross.

welterweight who was the cham
pion of the world, to boot, and
a good, smart all-around work
man whose ability approached
close to greatness.
But there were one or two fac
tors in my favor. While Ross
was the champion of the lat
Founders and Of the 1885,
Founders, with the l3S-pound
lightweight division between us,
his best fighting weight was
around 142, instead of lat
pounds. Mine was around 1872,
but I had agreed to come in at
1875, and, therefore, there
wouldn't be so much Of q dis
parity on the scales.
HEIGHT AND REACH
Still he was larger by a con-
siderable extent, especially in
height and reach, which are VI
tally important, and we knew he
would be in there pitching at his
level best. In a few words, I
had to beat Ross. He wouldn't
beat himself, and we knew he
would be throwing leather as
long as he could stand up. No one
ever questioned his gameness.
The immediate problem con-
fronting Mr.. Mead was to build
my weight up to that 1876
pounds and still get me into
shape for my very best fight. I
won't say that he worried dur
ing the long training period, but
I did sense at times that he
wasn't exactly carefree-and
neither was I.

THREE POUNDS SHY
I alternately worked against
my Sparring partners and laid
off-all in an effort to build up
my weight without sacrificing
a keen fighting edge. In spite
of the changed routine, I was in
perfect condition and felt fine
as we left camp for New York

weighed only 1873.
