dells feat in sticking with him 30
neatly and making such q good show.
ing augurs well for what Sammy may
do In the Aurora ring Friday night
against even US mighty little war
rior as Pal Moore. It's match that
is creating lot Of interest, and those
fans who believe Mandell did not do
much last week against Green be.
cause they do not believe Green to
possess much class never were more
out Of line in their lives.
Seek Feather Crown.
Green 10 an out-and-out contender
for the featherweight championship
and It's certainty he would give
Johnny Kilbane sturdy argument at
124 pounds.
And right here and now let me say
that the human Stats OF the ring have
been the hardest men Of all to whip.
Running ones memory back over an
intimate acquaintance of thirty years
with the fighting men. can recall
many a slat who was thoroughly
feared by other men in his class. and
right today there are two or three OF
them.
Take this Green boy. for instance.
Eddie Stanton La having terrible
time Of II trying to get anybody TO
box him. That's how good other man.
ayers regard him-an almost infallible
sign Of excellence, this shyness on the
part of other managers.
Jack O'Keefe. OF South Chicago. has
even a slattier. Stat than Green In his
stable and nobody around here wants
to tackle him. His name IL Jimmy
Brady and he's q North Side boy Of
high skill and tremendous hitting
power. He can make $50 pounds and
Michigan rings. He certainly is a
classy boy, so much so that he can get
nothing to do around here. for which
matchmakers and promoters should DO
thoroughly ashamed Of themselves.
Milwaukee once had q great fighter
OF this build In Ray Temple and light
weights thought so well Of him that
he could get little work Milwaukes
has still another in Pinky Mitchell.
boy of exceptional worth a. fighter.
Jimmy Clabby Another.
Jimmy Clabby was Of the slat order
and several champions took whiris at
him to their ultimate sorrow. Percy
Cove looked as II q good punch would
break him In two. yet he gave Ad
wolgast one Of the greatest fights
ever seen In the West.
OF famous old timers, both Jim Hah
and Bob Fitzsimmons, who made Aus
tralia famous, were lean. and Hall was
even skinny. Yet they were among
the worlds greatest punchers. Aus
traiian Billy" Murphy. featherweight.
was one Of the greatest slammers In
the world. What . wonder Kid Nc
Coy was for the physical attachments
that nature gave him. He was y
hungry-looking hound when ut his
best.
Joe Choynsii. one Of the greatest Of
the great, could whip almost any
heavyweight. but was al lean ~ a
spindle. So was Jimmy Gardner. Mt
one time the worlds greatest welter.
Going further back. take Ike O'Neir
Spider Weir Of Belfast. who wasn't
as broad as q lath. And who could
take" Jack Blackburn when he was
good? Nobody, big or little. and Jack
was about as thick az an ordinary
mans arm. Y
Chicago produced some wonder in
Tommy White, Frank Garrard and
Eddie Santry, who were thin as could
be. but they could battle like tigers.
Then. too. Harry and Tommy Harris.
wonderful slivers. Even Joe Cans,
champion for years. didn't have q
pick Of meat on his bones and look
what wonder he was.
Don't worry about the Stats. They
can take care Of themselves.
