CAPT TTRUS RAYMOND COBB fur
y nishes more proof that being an
athlete in one line does not assure en-
dursnce in other branches. Ty plays
through doubleheaders, even pitching
nine hard innings and coming out Of
Il fresh as a year old. But since
he has become a captain in the United
States army it becomes his duty to
salute all the doughboys who salute
him, and Ty testifies that when the
day is done since he has been q cap
tain that his good right arm is 50
exhausted that il takes more care than
a lame pitching arm.
At various times statements have
been made by sport writers through
out the country that Jess Willard is
hog-fat, that he weighs nearly 800
pounds and is in no condition to ap-I
pear in the squared circle. This re-
port is untrue. The writer vouchesl
for Willard's condition He weighs
less and is thinner than at any time
since he met Jack Johnson; he is hard
rs nails and has wind such as Jack
Dempsey never had and never Will
have Understand, the writer has not
seen willard but II is certain that q
man who has done as much running
rs Little Jess" has done to evade
getting into the ring must neces-
sarily be in prime condition. The i
thousands OF miles he has run to get
away from Jack Dempsey and the I
daily strenuous sidestepping Of bouts
for patriotic funds cannot fail to keep (
him windy guy. His condition has
been further improved by constant 4
search for his fighting heart which
he lost while exhibiting himself as a .
prodigy with Col. AIiller's circus. As
freak he made good As a cham
pion he never had a look in.
Marty Falk. now stationed at Fort
MCPHERSON, Ga, says that he has the
hardest work OF his life. Marty is
working typewriter. In the past
Marty has been accustomed to go from
SIX 10 ten rounds with some tough
customers, but he says none Of It ever
gave him the trouble that a type
writer does. After all It isSwhat we
be-
The bout that the public and SOL
Qiers want 10 see more than any other.
IS Murphy and Reyes" states Jack
Taylor, fan There is no reason why
this bout should not be staged now
that quarantine IS TO be lifted. While
tbs Athletic council does not offer
what Reyes asks, there is but a small
oit1erence between them. II the other
details are satisfactorily adjusted, L
think 7 can raise the difference here
IN Il Paso and let the show 90 on. 7
VIII 90 Il. TOO, II all concerned viii
permit me-"
No doubt about Jack being a real
booster He suggests also that the !
bouts IN which FL PasO boxers have
appeared against Bliss artists, more
interest has been taken and the box !
ers themselves have been spurred to
greater efforts. There is also truth
N this The Nelson-Gundy bouts
were good ones.
Young Chavez and "Stinger' Chico :
are two boys Of the san Antonio Ath- I
letlc club who are wanting 10 battle Z
out their differences and have vol-l :
unteered their services at some Bliss ;
show The lads are clever for their +
age and experience and would put up :
3 good bout.
slim" Rarey and FL Paso Jimmy s
wilson are two boxers looking for
1outs- Rarey may appear at COlum-
lus, n. n, soon in bout II negotia- r
ions are satisfactory. Wilson wants :
o meet any boxer IN these parts at :
SO pounds.
