FANS TO PRESENT
ANOTHER BOXING
BILL IN z YEARS
Ways and Means Being Dis
Cussed to Arouse Interest
of Legislators in Favor of
Such a Measure.
BY kid Graves.

With all the advocates for boxing
claiming that the returned soldiers
wanted boxing in the various states,
the ants made the claim that the
soldiers did not want the game par
ticularly, or at least that only few
of them were in favor of the game.
Ray Pearson of the Chicago Tri-
bune took the pains to interview the
invaldated heroes at the Fort Sher-
idan hospital and found 1000
wounded soldiers there, only one of
whom was opposed to boxing. Even
a lad with broken neck, who may
never had the opportunity to see a
boxing contest favored the sport,
and said he would like to see the
game legalized throughout the coun-
try.
Nebraska Soldiers Want Game.
In our own state of Nebraska
poll was taken of, every unit of re-
turned soldiers that stopped in Oma-
ha and not one dissenting vote was
found in all the soldiers questioned.
hO pOyo al tuC lOSdl pOStS, FOTt
Crook and Fort Omaha, every one
wanted to see the game legalized in
this state. The commanding Off.
GERS OF the overseas forces and the
local post commandants are strong
ly in favor of legalized boxing. The
great majority of the civilians of
the state of Nebraska are in favor
of good clean boxing and yet with
all the partisanship for boxing, the
state legislature laid the boxing bill
on the table indefinitely, which is
the same as killing it entirely.
Another Bill Next Session.
Despite the desire of the great
majority of the voters of the coun-
try, boxing has been legalized in
only about Is states.
Boxing fans in many states where
the bills were killed are already
taking steps to introduce boxing
bills at the next session. In Ne
braska, plan is on foot to present
another measure two years hence.
The hackers of the proposed bill
for 1921 are considering ways and
means of making the legislators of
the two governing bodies realize
that this is sport that is really de-
sired by the greater number of the
residents of the state

DEMPSEY MIGHT
COOvERSEAST TO
BOX CARPENTER
Challenger Tired Waiting for
Definite Word Regarding
Scene Of Battle; Wants
Definite Notice Today.

New York, May Apparently
all is not harmony in the Richard
Dempsey-Willard camp. Dempsey
is tired of waiting for word regard
ing the scene of battle and has an
nounced that if he does not hear by
tomorrow he will sail over the briny
deep to take on Georges Carpenter.
No doubt it would be more profit
able venture for Dempsey first to
dispose of Carpenter, with $4,000
at stake, and then, with added pres
tige, to take on Willard--and per-
haps demand an increase of guaran.
tee. 1t is possible that Dempsey
has regretted that he signed for
"only" $27,500. He has probably
been talked into believing that he
made a grievous error. From Chi
cago comes reiteration of the story
that Richard is only partner of the
champion in the venture and that
both are giving the guarantee to
Dempsey. Richard denies this and
declares that it is the work of dis
appointed individuals in Chicago.
Also Chicago is responsible for
the story that Willard summoned
Jack Curley and Tom Jones to Chi
cago recently not alone to settle
their old claim against him, but to
hire the pair 10 take care of his end
of the promotion of the fight. This,
too, Richard denies with vehemence,
and traces to a certain sport writer
in the Windy City" Be that as it
may, the fact remains that there isa
hitch somewhere. Dempsey has no
right to complain since he has not
yet posted his $1,000 forfeit. Viii
lard already has posted his.
The failure of the New York legis-
lature to pass on the Walker bill
no doubt upset Richards plans, as he
felt there was a strong chance Of the
passage of the 12-round measure.

Shoe Shines for Soldiers
Is Fact, Not Catch Line

New York.-Shoe shines for SOL
diers may sound like a catch line
on the order of truly rural" but
William ]. Mulligan, chairman of
the Knights of Columbus commit
tee on war activities, found the
shines necessary for soldiers and
sailors and marines sojourning in
misty London--the town where a
shine doesn't last long.
AS professional shines cost
money, and as the war had reduced
the number of professional sinners
So that everybody couldn't be wait
ed on, Mulligan had shoe shining
apparatus installed in the K. of C..
club in High Holborn, London.
Now the boys emerge from the K.
of c. quarters with their counten-
ance reflected in the toes of their
Munson army shoes.

Punching the Bag
With JACK VEIOCK,
international News Sports Editor.)

Miller Higgins, the snappy bos
of the Yankees, was a great in
fielder in his heyday as a player. i
would be only natural, then, to sup
pose that Higgins might attach un
usual importance to the inheld po
sitions if asked to name the mos
important part of ball clubs de.
tense.
But Higgins is far from being
prejudiced in favor of infelders
The writer recently put the ques-
ton up to Hug" and the little
manager replied that the success OF
failure of a ball club depends first
last and all the time on the pitching
Pitching" said Hug" means
everything to ball club. OF course.
hitting, fielding and base running
play their part, and big part, too
but without good pitching what do
they amount to? .... .
According to my observations
the average bali club can be just
about as good as its pitching staff
if it has good pitching, in other
cases it may outshine the pitching,
but this fact will not show in the
percentage column.
Pitching has everything to do
with the morale of the club. If the
pitchers are capable they inspire
the men. behind them, and when the
helders have confidence in the
pitcher they will play better ball by
far. Take a good pitcher, put him
in there and let him show some
thing, and the club behind him will
fight three times as hard for the
game. On the other hand. if the
pitcher is going badly the workings
of the whole ball club are thrown
out of gear mentally, and mental I'M
rest means fielding errors and list
less support"
Higgins is not the only manager
who counts pitching as the most
important factor in the defense OF
club. Branch Hickey, who is fill
ing Higgins old shoes as manager
of the Cardinals, says:
"The pitcher, in my opinion, is
the most important player on a
ball club. The game is his, mas
much as he does the most work and
most depends on his efforts.
Next to the pitcher l should
say that the catcher ranks second
in Importance. The duties of the
major league catcher, in particular
are many. However, it should be
remembered that any player can
make his position important, be he
pitcher, catcher, inhelder or out
fielder. There is no position
among the nine on club that lacks
importance"
The average manager who starts
out to build bali club draws line
straight through the diamond from
the home plate to center field.
Starting with the catcher, he at
tempts to fill that position with a
heady, capable receiver who can be
depended upon at all times, and
who can be in there practically
every day if necessary.
Next comes the pitching staff,
which is all important, and follow
ing that comes shortstop and cen

FeatherWeight Champion
Returns to Old Time Form
(By International News service.l

New York, May 3-Apparently
Johnny Kilbane is not entirely
through as yet. When the feather
weight champion returned to the
ring after a long absence and was
soundly thrashed by frankie
Brown, second rater, it looked as
though Kilbane had reached the end
of his rope. Now it appears that all
Killy needed was more work to
round him into condition. Since
the Brown affair he has boxed in
far better form. Recently he
knocked out a rugged lightweight
when he stopped Johnny Mahoney
over in Philadelphia. Mahoney was
saved by the referee in the sixth
round.
