OF all the boxers in the history OF
the modern game. John l.. Sullivan
had the greatest popularity with the
public. The Boston Strong Boy"
once seen. could never be forgotten
His powerful physique, his beetling
brows, his roaring tones as from a
deep well, stamped him as the great
est with all those with any regard
for athletic achievement. Sullivan
possessed that divine spark of per
sonaIity TO a great degree.
Emphasizing this characteristic on
the part of Sullivan, one has but to
compare him with Jess willard. The
kansan. dethroning the unpopular
Jack Johnson, might have rushed to
the front for all time. But he lacked
the qualities that made Sullivan an
idol for men and boys through two
generations. willard had no person
ality.
KETCHEL HAD IT.
A wave Of distinct pity swept
across the land when it was learned
on the morning of Oct. 1G, 1910. that
Stanley Ketchel had been shot by a
man named Walter A. Diplcy, at Con-
way, Mo. The entire American sport
ing world waited on the outcome OF
that sad affray in that country

Jeff AND MURRAY
BATTLE TO DRAW
Baltimore Bantam Puts on
Steam Toward the End and
Comes Up Even.

Little Jen, OF Baltimore. and
Frankie Murray. OF Philadelphia. bat
tied ten rounds TO a draw at Ardmore
last night, and, IL the fans have their
way. they may be matched for another
clash early in the coming year. Both
lads showed commendsble spirit in
giving their best before a small
crowd
The Philadelphia bantam went to
the front in the early rounds. using
hooks and Jabs with great effect. He
seemed TO maintain his lead until
the seventh. when Little Jer began
an aggressive attack that evened up
matters and compelled Referee OCon-
nor to declare the bout an even thing.
Ping Bodie. a Philadelphia feather
weight. boxed rings around George
on his rival. but in everything else
he ran second and Bodie deserved the
decision he received.
Young Remsey and Young Demp-
sey lived up to their regulations as
sluggeys OF the first water, each reg
istering a victory by the sleep route.
Manager Sullivan expects TO have
them matched for his next show.
Remsey put over a hard right in the
opening round that sent Eddie Cor
bett TO dreamland. Dempsey did as
much for Young Grifro. OF Baltimore.
"Hardboiled" John l.. Smith, OF
Walter Reed, went six rounds with
Phil Bolden. of Baltimore, and re-
ceived the decision.
The car service to and from the
club was perfect and was the subject
OF general praise fromfthe fans.

HARRY CREB IS BETTER
. THAN ROPER IN RING

BOSTON, Dec. 2c.-Harry Greb. of
Pittsburgh. won the decision over
Capt. Bob Roper, Chicago heavy
weight, in their ten rounds Of boxing
here last night. Greb took every
round. leading all the way, with a
smashing whirlwind attack that ap-
parently had Roper helpless.
Roper was not able to land a dozen
solid blows during the bout He
started the fourth round with a little
show OF speed, but after about TWEEN
ty seconds of fighting Grebb found
himself and the round went the way
Of all the others. The Chicago boxer
managed to keep his feet and was
knocked against the ropes once.

KNICKS WILL ENDEAVOR

Thorpe's aggregation. for a game here
Sunday. Miller viii be sought in
Philadelphia today and importuned TO
bring his players here for a battle
Sunday If the plans of the Knockers

Jim Thorpe declined the invitation
to come here. saying he was unable
to get his men again as they wanted
to go home for Christmas.
The knicker manager has b2en

felt because he had failed In his
great attempt to bring BACK the
championship 10 the white race" as
the saying had II those days.
The grief was that Stanley Ketchel
had lost. He had a wonderful fol-
Low Ing because he had personality. ..
NOBODY WILL MOURN.
II Pete Herman loses his worlds
crown tonight in New York. nobody
will mourn. He has made no great
following since acquiring his cham
pionship. Rather has he aIienated
those who might have rushed to him
because he was the best of them all.
Johnny kilbane had quite a follow
ing until he lost 1t because Of his evil
dent desire not to defend his title.
Jack Britton is not well known,
but his Willingness to enter the ring
has saved him. to n certain extent. .
Benny Leonard cannot be called a
popular champion. We heard him
booed in his own town within a
month and his beaten opponent, Joe
yelling. cheered to the echo.
Jack Dempsey has yet to make him
self favo-ite. though ne has a GER
tain amount of color about him. He
suffers from two things, his poor war
record and his heliotrope- scented
manager. Jack Kearns. IL he could
live over again his years during the
war and separate himself from
Kearns. he might get somewhere. As
it is, he has a hard fight ahead Of
him.
WHAT IS PERSONALITY
Personality is a strange. elusive
thing. 1t is doubtful II any one can
define it accurately. One man has 1t
and another hasn't.
Once 1t might have been called the
ability to mix" but there is SO little
chance to show this mixing" ability
these days that. maybe. that's a
wrong definition.
Bat Nelson wasn't a mixer" come
to think Of It, vet he was a popular
champion. The fans were sorry when
nd Wolgast took the title away from
him. None grieved when Welsh de-
feated Richie or Leonard defeated
Welsh, for neither Richie nor Welsh
was popular.
Personality is wonderful thing
for an athlete to have. 1t makes him
money-maker at all times. on the
road to the top and even on that
other road down the Hill. With IL he
lives down the ages where, some
times. better men are forgotten.

Both boxers report themselves to-
be at the peak OF excellence so far
as physical condition Is concerned.
They are TO weigh in at 2 o'clock
this afternoon, scaling llS pounds,
and each demonstrated yesterday that
he was slightly under that poundage.
The battle tonight should serve to
TX Herman's status as a tighter.

LYNCH Is FLASHER.
There H. no doubt that Lynch Is the
faster and flasher boxer. Herman
Is "A slow beginner. somewhat after
the style OF Willie Richie. erstwhile
lightweight champion, OF whom the
story has been told that he boxed
several rounds in his dressing room
before going into the ring against
rather speedy adversary for short
bout.
Herman has shown in the past that
he likes long distance fighting. and
the fact that tonight's affair Is to be
a fifteen-round journey is In his
favor. Pete has never shown any
amazing ablllty 10 nnlsn MS man

The men are so evenly matched

that worlds championship is at
