"And I don't think there is anything wrong in saving a kid from punishment when there is co betting that your opponent Is going the distance. "And I'll tell you that it is no cinch to carry a tighter. Leonard could do it. So could Mike Gibbons, and even it It sounds like boasting, I could do it, But it takes a clever man to do It "You have to make your opponent do every thing, just as you want him to do it or it would look like a hippodrome. It isn't every boxer who can do that "4 never have thought that there was' anything wrong in carrying a young fellow.

Our sport Is supposed to be boxing and not murder and I never have felt like abusing a young fellow who was just starting out In the business. I remembered too well about mr young days.

Jack Brltton was asked by an expert during the course of a fanning bee in Miami) Beach "be-Vre the Sharkey-Stribllng fight Brltton, if it must be explained, is a former welterweight champion of the world, an old man who is still fighting and a boxer regarded as one of the cleverest that ever pulled on a glove. I never was in a fixed fight." Brltton replied in bis quiet gentle manly way, but there was a spark of Intense resentment in his eyes. "I have, been fighting longer than the record books show and I never have been in a fight that wasn't ou the level.

"There have been a lot of com ments made about all the fights I had with Ted Lewis and the one I bad with Benny Leonard when he fought me for the welterweight championship.
