OF Battle Wins
For Challenger:
Lightweight Champion Ad-
vised Waiting at Outset,
Also Hit and Get Away
By, Crantland Rice

TOLEDO, July 6.-The backwssA
Of gossip from q big championship
frequently brings up points more In
teresting than the melee itself.
There were many who had expected
to see Dempsey tear into Willard st
the tap Of the gong, or rather the faint
tinkle Of tho bell. but there were sur.
prised to see Dempsey start waiting
game and take his time.
Part Of this at least was due TO ad.
vice he received from Benny Leonard,
lightweight champion. Two days be-
fore the fight Dempsey asked Leon
ards advice about the best method Of
meeting the now deposed champion.
"Play a waiting game at the start.
advised Benny. Don't rush into
close quarters, but hit and get away.
Walk around him a bit and look him
over, stepping in now and then to
plant one. Maybe you'll be lucky
enough to crown him quickly. II you
are not, don't stay in too close in the
early rounds"
THAT advice sounds good TO me-" re-
marked Dempsey, "and l think I'll try
it,"
II Is exactly what he did.

in the annual S30-yard Metropolitan
Association event held in connection
with the aquatic carnival Of the At

was at no time compelled to show TO
the best of his ability. lie assumed

John Noonan, unattached, was sec

Ross, the schoolboy 22O-yard champion,
who fportcd the colOrs, as oid Glebel,

latter organization also took down
fourth honors when Norman Buck, for

the only other starter IN the race, I'm

The folr WINNER hit the wat.i al

fifty yards moved on their journey

turning float, 10 yards from the start,
Gicbel took the turn first. followed
by Noonan and Buck in close order,

his powerful trudccoh stroke and four

opponents so that at the quartes mile

Noonan also was far ahead for second

held 25-yard lead over NOOnan, who
slightly cut down this advantage in a
hard sprint, as Gicbel swan leisurely
to the finishing line. Ross ended the
long swim rather tired.
Another gold medal was added to the

Beckett Rival
OF Dempsey as
Quick Finisller
By Arthur S. Draper

LONDON, June II (By MaiD.-Proof
Of the tremendous revival in sporting
interest was furnished tonight at
Olympia an arena with a seating ca
pacity exceeding that of Madison
Square Gardcn-where Joe Beckett dis
posed Of Frank Goddard in the second
round Of 4 twenty-round contest for
the championship Of Great Britain.
They stage big fights in big way al
the Olympia, where the rimgside costs
$50 and the cheapest place high in the
gallery sells for SIJ0.
Beckett is former member Of the
Roya. Air Force, whose home is in
Southampton. lie is supposed to have
gypsy blood in his veins and his
swarthy skin would support the state
nrut, though his light, curly hair and
rather round face make him the typical
south OF England lad. Beckett is just
over six feet tall and weighs about
10 pounds. Deep chested broad
shoGldcrcd. thick in the forearm,
Beckett looks more like iong-distance
swimmer than the heavy pugi-
lists Of the Jt,irics or Sharkey type.
Though he had a victory over Bonn
bardier Wells it WAS considered some
thing Of q fIkc. There was suspicion
that Beckett, like Wells. had a weak
streak in his makeup-yellow We call
it-ard that he would crumple up under
punishment.
Goddard, his opponent, is n giant Of
a man possessed Of almost superhuman
strength and 5uperabundance Of
confidence in his ability to withstand
punishment. Comparative Ggurcs show
that Goddard has a physique superior
in some respects TO that Of Jefrles
when he fought Ftzsimmous back in
1890. Goddard had defeated Beckett in
seven rounds; he had won other bouts
by sheer strength against the superior
boxing ability of his opponent Among
the British boxing experts there was a
feeling that in Goddard Britain had
found the future heavyweight cham
pon of the world.

bandaged his hands and his nervous
ness while the announcer introduced
II. Descamps. Georges Carpenters
manager. who had come over to arrange
the meeting between the winner and
the French champion at the Olympia
in September. Beckett has brains as
well as a pOWcrtul punch IN MS rlSnt.
He had his campaign well thought out
and it was plain before the first round
was well under way that he had de-
cided success must come quickly.
Beckett was intent on carrying the
fight to Goddard and in n moment they
were at close grips. Beckett ripped up
several uppercuts; Goddard jolted
Beckett on the nose. One OF those
uppcrcuts surprised Goddard; he was
annoyed, puzzled. slightly dazed. The
round was in favor Of Beckett; the bell
came as a relief.
Beckett received a lot of advice &c
tween the rounds; he was told to push
the battle hard. He did. Refusing TO
play for safety he went at Goddard as
If he intended TO make the second the
last round. He scored with left hook.
Goddard staggered to the ropes; he
rested on the ropes In Goddards corner
but Beckett pursued him mercilessly
with right and left hooks. Goddard
crouched to the boards lie rose at
nine, only to fall again under n terrific
right. That was the end after five and
onc-half minutes OF fighting.

on how the fortunes Of battle will sway
at the national next month.
On July l6 the annual New York
state championships in singles and
doubles will start on the clay courts Of
the Yahnundasis Golf Club, Mt Utica,
y. Y. with Ichiya Kumagae defending
his title. The little Japanese is Just
now at the height Of his furious back
court game, as his recent defeats Of
Tilden and S. Howard Voshell prove,
which means that he is again the SEN
sational Kumagac Of 1916. when he
made such sweep of American courts.
Kumagae, however, is certain to face
very keen competition this time, and
should he win the state title again he
must indeed be ranked with our best.
II is to be hoped that the clubs con-
ducting tournaments during the re-
mainder Of the season will exercise
some measure Of restraint regarding
the abuse Of the daylight saving
scheme The recent Journeys at the
Orange Lawn Tennis Club. and at the
University Heights Tennis Club, when
