THUS GOURLEY SHOULD HAVE TACKLE POSITION

(Rensselaer Jtppublican.) Th sport writer of the Hammond Times ha just finished hia selections fur an all star high school team of northern Indiana. The team as elected would be aM to hold Its own with any higrh school team in the country and In the main his selections have been very fair and he has not favored his own team. But two Hammond men "were selected. Morocco secured on? place; Kast Chicago Kivcn t"o places; South Hend had two selected; Gary secured three positions rind the other -went to KIkhart. Rensselaer was not given a. single position. The Hammond pen -wielder says that in selecting the tara he had a wealth of first-class backfield material from which to choos, several linemen better than the, average and an absolute lack of mediocre end material. In mentioning the backfield candilates he stated that Beam of nensseiaer and several others were all good men in their Individual style of play hut not quite strong enough -to be given a place. In another paragraph the writer says: "Withoat detmetlnir from the glory that is due them. It might be mentioned that in the opinion of many critics, Gourley, of Rensselaer, in considered entitled to one of the tackle positions given Knisely. of Gary, and Warne, of Hammond." How anyone could keep from picking 'Leonard Gourley for a tackle position is not very easily seen. Last year he -was an all-state 'selection and his play has iby no means deteriorated Your Thanksgiving Dinner will not bs complete without our choice Wines and Liquors.

and his workout throughout the present seaaon stamps him as one of the greatest linemen that ever donned the moleskins of the local school. His work in every single came this season has been a revelation. His tackling nas beeen sure and hard, while on

tackle back plays in which he has carried the ball, Rensselaer waa always sure of a long gain into the enemy's territory. Wherever he had player he haa received especial men tion from the press. "We feel that if there is one place that the Hammond sport authority has erred it is in the case of Gourley. The team as picked follows; 1 K., Travis, Morocco. K T., Warne. Hammond. 1m ...

I boxed ffSritt Hour times. The first time. I -vras matched to 'box Brit was after a lot of wrangling, because of the Britts, Willie and Jimmy, had started to take notice of my battles when I knocked out Spider Welsh in Salt Lake City in IS rounds. They considered me a tough one. When I came to San Francisco I was matched to box "Martin Canole- who had Just fought Britt a gruelling Co-round bout, although Canole lost. It -was unanimous that for 20 rounds Canolo had won an easy victory but the agreement waa to add five rounds if tho referee -wanted. Britt was virtually a distance fighter "because he mowed Canole down in the last five rounds and won the decision. When I was in training for the Canole bout I'.ritt's friends visited me at Mike Sheehan's Ocean Tavern, where I -was training- and sympathized with me and told me what a bea.t-ri-g -was in store for me. but I fooled them. I admit I am a boob in training. The Britts had sidestepped the Welsh person because , they were afraid of him. fWhen I knocked the Spider out th Britt followers said it was only a lucky punch. It seemed to me if my memory didn't deceive me that most all my fights were won by "lucky" Eeiir Bros. Pianos Harp Players Store Open Tonight Till 10 o'CIock

at Orpheum in His Glad Rags. punches in those days, but very strange to me how 1 could continue "always" lucky. AH the fight fans ami n?v?paper men except Walderman Young, who at that time waa sporting editor on the San Irranci?co Call, laughed at me and said I was only an accident and would not 'last, but they were wrong again. Waldemar Young was the only one of the fcjan .Francisco fport writers that gave me credit for (being a "tough bird" and said: "You just Keep your eye on kelson, he will make a name for himself and you cannot stop him coming," and ho was correct in his prediction. Kinally after knocking out Canole, Ilanlon and Corbett, in i-an Francisco, the press forced Britt to tight nits. We met at Mechanic's Paviliion, San Francisco, the night of December 20, 1901, and Billy Koach, the honest (?) bowery hoy was referee. The club, betting commissioners, timekeeper, referee ' and a bunch of crooks were against me. The native son elemrnt is not what it is cracked up to be. The native sons as a rule are honest, but it is the crooks that get them in bad. Britt was always a rugged fighter, not clever in the sense of real cleverness, but was fast as lighting and tough as shoe leather, lie had a very wicked left and a good right, with a less aggressive fighter than myself ha could easily outbox them. ' TVe went along fairly even for tho first 10 or 12 rounds. 1 was trying to get Jimmy to mix hut ha refused, so in the 13th round I set out to take what Britt had, having already discovered his hest punches were harmless I conceived that idea that if I was "Receiver General" he would fall into the trap and then I would open up and get him. We went along until the 16th round when Spider JCelley who always handled Britt in his fight. "fell for the lure" and yelled at -Britt to sail in and finish me, with one from Brannon street, (that's where the Britts lived) and of course Britt always tried to do what he was told by Kelley. I still stalled and f jr once in my life I took one backward stop to further lead him on. After we went about a minute I cut loose and knocked Britt out hanging on the ropes when the timekeeper earned his $1,000 by pulling the ibell at two minutes to save the native son from a complete knockout right then and there. Britt managed to stay the 20 rounds by the goodness of that crook Roach, who refereed. Roach always ran between Britt end me whenever we got Into a clinch and deliberately held my arms, giving Britt a chance to rest, stopping me from hitting him. At the end of the bout Britt was so badly beaten he could not walk to his. corner and if there is anyone who reads this story that has one of my books of my life hattles and career he 1ms .seen the picture which Is on page J oft, showiDg Britt' s seconds carrying tim to his corner; I am standing in a Ptirpor and too surprised to talk; the honest (?) referee is shown heating it out of the ring; a bunch of policemen it;

RICKARD AND JESS DISCUSS TITLE BOUT CHICAGO, Nov. 29. The effort of Tex Rickard to sign up World's Heavyweight Champion Jess Willard, to meet soma aspiring . heavyweight during the winter in New York, at a conference held yesterday moroing evidently did not turn out successfully, for neither had a word to say "for publication" when the confab ended. It seems that Willard is not ready to tie any strings to himself Just at present, besides which Manager Tom Jones, who usually attends to his boxing business, isn't on hand because of the illness of his wife at Hot Springs. Tom Andrews, the Milwaukee pro moter, intends to come to Chicago tho latter part of this week to sound Willard on the proposition of meeting Fred Fulton in the Brewery City in January. Andrews already has signed the Rochester giant and is willing to guarantee the champion $10,000 for his end. However, if Willard has turned down tho kind of jack that Rickard can offer, it doesn't look as if there is much chance of Andrews' getting Jess to fight. NATIONAL OPEN TO BE HELD IN EAST NEW YORK.
