Demorraiic atc Bellefonte, Pa., May 8, 1914. The Abysmal Brute [Continued from page 6, Col. 2.1 guarded his mid section, and all the time moving about, clumsily shoulder- _ing or half falling forward against his opponent and clogging his efforts, him- self never striking nor threatening to strike, the while rocking with the im- pacts of the storming blows that beat upon his various guards the devil's own tattoo. Those close at the ringside saw and appreciated, but the rest of the au- dience, fooled, arose to its feet and roared its applause in the mistaken no- tion that Pat, helpless, was receiving a terrible beating. With the end of the round the au- dience. dumfounded, sank back into its seats as Pat walked steadily to his corner. It was not understandable. He should have been beaten to a pulp. and yet nothing had happened to him. “Now, are you going to get him?” Stubener queried anxiously. “Inside ten seconds,” was Pat's con- fident assertion. “Watch me.” There was no trick about it. When the gong struck and Pat bounded to his feet he advertised it unmistakably that for the first time in the fight he was starting after his man. Not one onlooker misunderstood. The Flying Dutchman read the ad- vertisement. too, and for the first time in his career as they met in the center of the ring visibly hesitated. For the fraction of a second they faced each other in position. Then the Flying Dutchman leaped forward upon his man, and Pat, with a timed right cross, dropped him cold as he leaped. It was after this battle that Pat Glendon started on his upward rush to fame. The sports and the sporting writers took him up. For the first time the Flying Dutchman had been knocked out. His conqueror had proved a wizard of defense. His previous victories had not been flukes. He had a kick in both his hands. Giant that he was, he would go far. The time was already past, the writ- ers asserted, for him to waste himself on the third raters and chopping blocks. Where were Ben Menzies, Rege Rede. Bill Tarwater and Ernest Lawson? It was time for them to meet this young cub that had suddenly shown himself a fighter of quality. Where was his manager anyway, that he was not issuing the challenges? And then fame came in a day, for Stubener divulged the secret that his man was none other than the son of Pat Glendon, old Pat, the old time ‘ring hero, Young Pat Glendon, he was promptly christened, and sports and writers flocked about him to ad- mire him and back him and write him up. Beginning with Ben Menzies and fin- ishing with Bill Tarwater, he challeng- ed, fought and knocked out the four second raters. To do this he was com- pelled to travel, the battles taking place in Goldfield, Denver, Texas and New York. To accomplish it required months, for the bigger fights were not easily arranged, and the men them- selves demanded more time for train- ing. The second year saw him running to cover and disposing of the half dozen big fighters that clustered just beneath the top of the heavyweight ladder. On this top, firmly planted, stood “Big”? Jim Hanford, the undefeated world champion. Here on the top rungs progress was slower, though Stubener was indefatigable in issuing challenges and in promoting sporting opinion to force the man to fight. Will King was disposed of in Eng- land, and Glendon pursued Tom Har- ms— was never even interviewed save ir Stubener’s presence. Only once was Glendon approached. It was just prior to his battle with Henderson, and an offer of $100,000 was made to him to throw the fight. It was made hurriedly. in swift whispers. in a hotel corridor. and it was fortunate for the man that Pat controlled his temper and shouldered past him without reply. He brought the tale of it to Stubener, who said: “It’s only con, Pat. They were try- ing to josh you.” He noted the blue eyes blaze. “And maybe worse than that. If they could have got youn to fall for it there might have been a big sensation in the papers that would have finished you. But I doubt it. “Such things don’t happen any more. It’s a myth, that's what it is, that has come down from the middle history of the ring. There has been rottenness in the past. but no fighter or manager of reputation would dare anything of the sort today. “Why. Pat. the men in the game are as clean and straight as those in pro- fessional baseball, than which there is nothing cleaner or straighter.” And ali the while he talked Stubener knew in his heart that the forthcom- ing fight with Henderson was not to be shorter than twelve rounds—this for the moving pictures—and not long- er than the fourteenth round. And he knew, furthermore, so big were the stakes involved, that Hender- son himself was pledged not to last be- yond the fourteenth. And Glendon, never approached again, dismissed the matter from his mind and went out to spend the after- noon in taking color photographs. The camera had become his latest hobby. Loving pictures, vet unable to paint. he had compromised by taking up pho- tography. In his hand baggage was one grip packed with books on the subject. and he spent long hours in the dark room, realizing for himself the various processes. Never had there been a great fighter | who was as aloof from the fighting world as he. Because he had little to | say with those he encountered he was | called sullen and unsocial, and out of this a newspaper reputation took form | that was not an exaggeration so much | as it was an entire misconception. | Boiled down. his character in print | | | i | was that of an ox muscled and dumb- ly stupid brute, and one callow sport- ing writer dubbed him the “abysmal brute.” The name stuck. The rest of the fraternity hailed it with delight, and thereafter Glendon’s name never ap- peared in print unconnected with it. Often, in a headline or under a photo- graph. “The Abysmal Brute,” capital- ized and without quotation marks, ap- peared alone. All the world knew who was this brute. This made him draw into him- self closer than ever, while it devel- oped a bitter prejudice against news: paper folk.

Embroidered Nets. me UT the purses grew larger and larger. In place of $100, such as hig first battles had earned him, he was now receiving from $20,000 to $30,000 a fight, as well as equally large sums from the mov- ing picture men. Stubener took his manager’s percent- age of all this according to the terms of the contract old Pat had drawn up, and both he and Glendon. despite their heavy expenses, were waxing rich. This was due more than anything else to the clean lives they lived. They were not wasters. Stubener was attracted to real estate, and his holdings in San Francisco, con- sisting of building flats and apartment houses, were bigger than Glendon ever dreamed. There was a secret syndicate of bet- ters, however, which could have made an accurate guess at the size of Stube- ner’s holdings, while heavy bonus after heavy bonus, of which Glendon never heard, was paid over to his manager by the moving picture men. Stubener’s most serious task was in maintaining the innocence of his young gladiator. Nor did he find it difficult. Glendon, who had nothing to do with the business end, was little interested. Besides, wherever his travels took him, he spent his spare time in hunting and fishing. He rarely mingled with those of the sporting world, was notorious- ly shy and secluded and preferred art galleries and books of verse to sport- ing gossip. Also, his trainers and sparring part- ners were rigorously instructed by the manager to keep their tongues away from the slightest hints of ring rotten- ness. ? In every way Stubener intervened between Glendon and the world.
