GREATEST FIGHTING
MACHINE IN WORLD
Expert Says This Is What
Wills Would Be If He Had
the Head and Heart
(By Hal sheridan.l

New York, Nov. 2S.--Harry Wills,
the giant New Orleans negro, is in the
pugilistic discard today. He was put
there by Samuel LangfOrd Of Boston,
black as the ace Of spades and frequent,
ly referred to as ''the bone crusher. "
Samuel also convinced those who wit.
messed the bout that he is game through
and through.
Wills showed that he has oodes of
fighting ability. But he also showed
that he is lacking in two necessary
qualities-heart and head. And with.
out these he never will shine among the
championship possibilities.
Had Wills had the heart and head he
would have knocked out Sam in the
first of second round. In the first ses.
sion Wills sent Sam to the mat twice,
the Boston negro taking advantage of
the full count on each occasion. Sam
was hurt, too, and 80 bewildered that he
could hardly find his way to his own
corner. Wills looked a winner all over
and his supporters were offering to |
that langford would be put to sleep
But they failed 10 reckon with the
Langford heart. Wills again put Lang
ford down for the full count in the
second round and the United Press
representative in Los Angeles said that
one well directed wallop to the jaw
would have ended the battle right
there, But Wills was unable to put il
over.
Wills showed his unusual strength
when he lifted Langford from his feet
and threw him to the floor. He did
this several times. He quit his rough
work, however, when Referee Blake
threatened him with disqualification.
After the second round, Sam kept
close to his man, awaiting an oppor.
tunity to put over the crusher. When
II came Sam was right on the job. A
left hook to the jaw, travelling about
six inches, did the work and with il
went Wills championship aspirations.

rated as wise un and Is sensible
enough to realize that Gibbons is the
most dangerous foe he must meet in
the middleweight division. Therefore,
to stake whatever reputation he may
have earned as result Of victories
over McGoorty and Chip the Hammond
boxer demands sum that will help to
sootne him In case of defeat.
However, while Jimmy is rather shy
about taking on Gibbons, he is not so
modest about expressing an opinion con.
ccrning the fighting ability of men
who were performing in the ring before
he was born, and who had retired be.

boxing glove,
While Jimmy may have fairly good

However, instead Of placing the pow

| am told that Charley white, the
Chicago lightweight, who has been
