GIANT FIGHTERS
ALWAYS FAILURES
Charley Mitchell Never Liked
Willard Because He Was
Too Big.

NEW YORK, Jan. 30.-The general
opinion is that Jack Dempsey,
h hest W. 1hon, champion eli Id is the
pentier, the logical contender for the
title, will have little chance with the
man who downed the giant Jess Will
lard.
Dempsey's fame rests on that and
the easy fashion he laid low another
great big man, Fred Fulton, in Harrison,
N. j., in almost less time than it takes
TO tell it. 1t has been the big men
that he has feled.
But that point is the very one many
who have not made up their minds on
the relative ability of the two, will not
let get away from them in thinking
that the man who put out Joe Beckett
may have chance with the american
Assassin" after all.
The smaller men are a bother to
Dempsey, they declare. and they refer to
. the Willie Meehan case as a proof.
One correspondent writes in his views
and digs up some pugilistic history to
prove them.
Bill Bradburn, once known as the
'Stockyards Terror he says. was at
the Willard-Dempsey go and Just be-
fore the battle sized up both of the
fighters ard bet every dollar he had on
Dempsey.

opened negotiations with the leader OF
the Athletics for the pitcher before
they startled the baseball world by an
nouncing they had paid the owner OF
the Boston Red Sox $4,000 for Babe
Ruth, the champion long-distance slug
ger.
Perry recently accepted Germs for
1920 with Connie Mack and the news
that he had signed a contract came as
a surprise 20 the Quaker City fans, as
only few weeks ago he was credited
with saying that he preferred semi-pro
ball in Franklin, Pa than hurting for
the Athletics. Before Connie Mack sent

Perry has had a remarkable career
in the major league. He graduated into
the big show from the Atlanta club Of
| cago club of the National league. with
the Cubs. however, he did not get an
opportunity to show his worth, as he
was soon sent back to the Crackers. In
| 1917 he again bobbed up in the Ma
tional league, this time with the Bos-
| ton club. Manager Stallings, however,
failed to give him a chance. For 30
days Perry, an ambitious youngster,
sat on the Braves bench waiting for a
chance to appear in big league cham
pionship contest-a chance that never
came. At the end of that period Perry
was disguised and quit the club. He
returned to the Atlanta team, but he
was still determined to break into the
major leagues. After drifting back to
the Southern league for the second
time, Cy Perkins, who was once a
member of the Athletics, but who was
sent to the Atlanta club, knew Perry
was capable of pitching big league ball
and tipped off Mack.
The manager of the Athletics sent
for Perry and in the summer of 1918
his pitching was the sensation of the
American league. When Perry joined
the Athletics, the Braves did not make
any claim for his services, but when
he started to win games consistently
they started fight for him. Perry
soon was the leading character in a
controversy that for a time threatened
to result in a baseball war. While in
Cleveland Mack brought the case into
the courts and obtained injunctions re-
strainng the Boston National league
club and the national commission, the
body appealed to by the Braves from

FRENCHMEN SURE
CARPENTER WILL
DEFEAT DEMPSEY
However, Jack Will Be 2 to |
FaVOrite Over Georges on
Entering Ring-CritiCS Dis
CuSS Match. g.

PARIS, Jan. SO.-In the opinion of
French fight critics Jack Dempsey
should enter the ring at least a two to
one favorite over Georges Carpenter,
but there is no doubt at all but that
the French heavyweight champion will
be heavily backed by his countrymen
when he encounters the American title
holder for the worlds championship.
Carpenters easy victory over Joe
Beckett in London brought the most
dubious French critics ranying to his
support and some of the men who
once thought he would be pie for Demp-
sey are now questioning their own
early opinion.
Many American sportsmen consider
as a joke the thought that our Car
pentier might defeat their Dempsey,
writes Tristan Bernard in the Petit
Parisien. Dempsey has an excellent
record, but one of his performances is
more conclusive than those of Car
pentier.
willard won the worlds champion
ship from a tired johnson. His pres
tige, even after this victory, seemed
mediocre enough. 1t was this same
Willard who had not fought for a long
time who was beaten by Dempsey
Dempsey is now pictured to us as a
scourge whom no one can resist. He
has about the same reputation as Beck
EFT had in England, with this differ.
ence, that he is heavier than Beckett
and that his previous performances
were better.

TIRED OF HIS LITTLE SPREE
Runaway" Canary Glad to Be Back in the Comfort and Safety
 of His Home.

Mrs. Robert Tomlinson of Martins vile has canary that answers to the name of Woody. relates the Indi- anapOlis News. Last fall the bird eS- capped from the cage and flew away. Immediately the whole town was asked to keep it's figarative eye on Woody. He was reported here and there feeding with the town sparrows. Mrs. F. would call up and say that she had seen him, but by the time his owner came he was gone.
 For a whole month Woody cavorted around with the pests of the neighbor- hood Then dark, rainy days began to dawn Still Woody stayed with the sparrows. A neighbor called up from the other side of the town one day and said that Woody was sitting around in her trees, the very picture of despair. There is little doubt that he was thinking of his warm cage at home. So his owner hied herself over to the spot and hung his cage in one of the trees. Then she went in to gossip. The rain continued to fall and presently Woody hopped into his cage and the tragedy was over, for that night he had his regular warm spot in the dining room.
