Just, n few more victories as Inn
prossive as tho one he registered
over Fearful Freddy Fhlton and Bill
ly Mlske OF St Paul will again be
taken very seriously as the most log
lCal foe for Jack Dempsey In fight
for the heavyweight championship
OF tho universe. Right now he stands
next 10 Harry Wills. tho black pam
ther from New Orleans. ana he has
been offered $4,000 10 meet the se-
gre I'm what would be tho biggest
elimination contest OF decade. Be
fore that, however. Miske VIII try
to remove few more from his path
upward. The first will come Mon
day night in oklahoma City when
hs will clash with Capt Bob Roper
for IL rounds 10 what should be the
feature contest OF schedule OF ~
important flstic battles In the United
states this week
In Line for Title.
Unfortunately Miske has been
knocked out by Dempsey. The pub
he does not consider that the 81.
| Paul fighter was III at the time and
| likely would not have been put to
! sleep had he been In proper condi-
! tiun. But that IL no allbi Miske

| in the condition he was In, but II
| they we're to meet today IL would be
| a different story. He fought Demp-
| soy three times. the first two bouts
/ going tho limit, and he never was
knocked off his feet until Dempsey

Had Mlske never fought Dempsey

/ quer0r of lot OF fighters, includ-
/ ing Fred Fulton, he would be given
a match with Dempsey the coming
winter and would be considered to
! have splendid chance 10 win. He
! beat Fulton as easily as Dempsey
! did ana Fulton is so much bigger
! than Mlske that II looked bad TO
| see them IN the ring together Miske
/ is about the size OF Dempsey and II
] thcv would be matched right now II

| that could ba staged outside OF a
/ Wills-Dompscy battle.
Roper Good Foe.
In Roper thes 81, Paul battler Is
| meeting one OF the gamest and
! toughest I'm the business. Roper Is
also clever boxer. Roper fought
| Fulton and they had hard battle,
the Plastercr finally pushing Roper
out OF tho ring. Roper also fought
! Bin Brennan, Harry Greb and all OF
the rest or the good ones In the
heavyweight division with the excep-
tion Of Dempsey lie has been per
sIstent challenger Of the champion.
He IA likely to take all the punish
/ mcut Miske can dish out. Should
Miske be fortunate enough to knock
| out the army man, 10 VIII be IA big
boost 10 his chances to met Demp-
seT because that is feat that oth-
ers have failed TO accomplish.
Tho nstlc followers OF the okla

having such a card dished up 10

VIII Keep Title.
This A. championship affair. TO
be sure, but there is little possibility
that the title win change hands,
Lynch IS o. fairly good puHchsr but
Moore Va about the most elusive
thing I'm pair OF boxing gloves that
one can imagine Moore cannot hit
hard enough to put a dent IN a roll
OF butter on a hot afternoon la Avn
gust but he can hlt often and con
stantly.
Moore would have been champion
long ago h8d hc had a little steam
In his w1ilop lie can autboE a lot
OF fighters ana they are unable 10
hit him squaroIy because OF his de-
fonslvc tactics Thia bout should SO
tho limit and no referees decision Ia
allowed IN indiana. That's why
Lynch consented 10 the match. lie
can't lose fhe title,
