PUBLIC BADLY
"SP00FED"BY
TUESDAY BOUT
Tut jackson Failed to Prove He
Is "Man-Eater" Of Press
Agents Pen.
By DAVIS j. WALSH.

NEW YORK, Sept. New York
State has had a great plenty Of be-
ing a happy hunting ground for
fly.by.night fistic enterprises. They
may be conducted on a small, pif.
fling scale in some Of the minor
clubs where the bill for damages Is
never great, but gone are the days
when fifth class push-over can be
ballyhooed into a match that will
draw upward of 10000 customers.
The poor. dear public was badly
spoofed out of many thousands of
dropped for the full count by . sc.
we're punch on the chest in the third
round Of his bout with Harry Wills.
The weight and measurements Of
Jackson were juggled in order to
make him appear a real nan!eater,
and reports of his fighting ability
were distorted out Of all reason.
Jackson couldn't fight, and wouldn't
IL he could.
William Muldoon. chairman Of the
commission, is sitting the evidence
preparatory to calling Billy McCar-
ney, the negro's manager, up on the
official carpet.
The facts in the case are these:
Mccartney appeared on the scene
about six weeks ago, boosting 0ack.
sons prowess as he came. He got q
match with Wills in two weeks and
then proceeded to fit from spot to
spot, dropping rather broad state
ments regarding the ability Of the
Ohio negro.
These were accepted in good faith
by some critics and not a little favor
able publicity followed. Thus was
the 10000 gate assured.
Two days before the bout, McCar-
ney released a list of Jackson's meas
urements. They were grossly out of
proportion to the facts. Jackson be-
ing twelve pounds less than the
weight and two inches shorter than
the height given in the specifica.

CADD|ESFACE
BR|bE CHARGES
IN WINDY CITY
WestmoreIand Country Club in
Turmoil as investigation
Gets Under Way.

CHICAGO. Sept. 2.-The West
moreland Country Club was in a
turmoil today over an investigation
by the board Of governors into
charges that golf caddies have been
exacting brlbes from golf members
and that caddies have accused golf
ers OF cheating in their scores.
The investigation has been on for
two weeks. II was learned. When tho
name of William p. Kent, secretary.
treasurer, Of the North American
Life Insurance Company, was used
In connection with It, he said:
You bet there have been charges
and there are going TO be more, Cad.
dies have been a nuisance on the
golf course. They accuse members
Of cheating in their scores, and II
the members don't come across with
IS bill they threaten to report. A
caddy tried that on me and I told
him a plenty. The so-called charges
are a result OF that nuisance"
The affair went back to the club
championship tournament, Kent said.

Has Strange Ways.
II RIQUI'S manager seems to be
pursuing rather unusual
- husiness methods.

~ RIQUI'S manager seems to be
pursuing rather unusual
~ business methods.
When Jack Kearns, manager Of
Jack Dempsey, was in Europe with
the heavyweight champion, Criqui's
manager induced Kearns to sign a
contract with him to look after
Criqui's interests in America.
Kearns turned the contract over
to Danny McKetrick, manager Of
the New York office, and since then
McKetrick has been trying to get
work over here for Criqui, only to
discover that Criqui's manager was
also trying to make matches for
the Frenchman through the French
boxing federation.
If they cared to insist on the
contract, which is doubtful, Kearns
and McKetrick could probably have
it enforced. AS a matter of fact,
Crioui evidently does not want to
come to America save for a cham
pionship bout, and as there is little
prospect of him getting such a bout
in the near future he will probably
remain at home.
The Washington times., 1922-09-02

Criqui was offered a fat price to
come over this summer and meet
Pepper Martin, with the stipula-
ton that the winner of the bout
would have a crack at the feather
weight title.
Frank Flournoy, matchmaker for
Tex Rickard, tried to put the match
on, but Criqui's reply was that he
wouldn't come to America unless
he got shot at Kilbane right away.
Tommy Noble, now under the
management of Leo P. Flynn, once
gave Criqui a beating, and Is
anxious to fight the Frenchman
again, and there are at least half
a dozen featherweights in America
who would appreciate the oppor-
tunity OF meeting Eugene.

Old Jack Knew.

old Jack Johnson, the for
I mer heavyweight champion
" of the world, wired US about
the Wills" Buddy" Jackson affair
the day of the meeting:
Tonight will see the worst
fight since Peter Maher met Nor
rissey," said Jack. "'Buddy
jackson can't lick a stick Of
candy" .
1t will be recalled that Jack
was matched to meet "Tus" Jack
son down at WASHINGTON Court
House. The authorities inter.
vened, and the scene was shifted
Then Jack for some reason de-
clined to 90 through with the af-
fair. 1t is said that johnson
couldn't see enough money in II
for him.
Jack would have whipped "Tut.'
Even if Johnson cannot do more
than lift his arms he would un.
doubtedly have come off ahead
Old Jack knows too much for that
kind. He seems to be spending
his time NOWADAYS around Allan,
tic City and Philadelphia, and
they say the old boy has plenty
of money.

: a Stanley Ketchel, men shorter

or a Stanley Ketchel, men shorter
and not nearly as strong as him
self, and he revelled in the going.
Old Jack would move them
around as if they were bits of light
furniture( gayly chatting with the
audience as he disposed Of them.
He was one Of the most powerful
men that ever followed boxing.
The reason that fellows like Jack
Thompson and Bill Tate can make
a showing against Wills is because
they are as big and as strong as
Harry, and he cannot pick them up
and hurl them around as he can a
smaller man.

Dempsey Could Get
Fights If He
would"

Jack Dempsey complains that
he can't get any fights, but he
could get a lot of them il he
would forget the notion that he
has to get 100000 every time
he steps into the ring. He
would also be a more popular
another champion who wants a
fortune to fight but he uses
exorbitant demands to cover up
his real reason for not wanting
to fight. Benny Leonard exacts
immense purses to meet first
raters, but he is more reason
able when he signs for a bout in
which he takes no chances on
his title.

Give Little Credit.

JOHNSON doesn't think much of
Il Wills, but we take little stock
" in one colored fighters rating
of another. 1t is not so much that
they are poor judges, but because
they are not quick to give proper
credit.
The only colored fighter we ever
knew all his brethren to admit his
greatness was Sam Langford. For
that matter the white fighters
were even more lavish in their
praise of Sam than the colored
boxers. There was one bird that
everybody admitted could fight.
And to realize how far back Sam
has gone-or how badly he needs
the money-just remember that
"Tut" jackson is credited with
knocking him out.

Tnere are TWO ways or watcntnB
the ball before the clubhead hits II,
consciously and unconsciousiy. A
great many players think they are
keeping their eyes on the ball when
as a matter OF fact they are keeping
their eyes focused merely in the
direction Of the ball.
There In q fine and important point
OF play here which involves a sort
Of sheep and goat proposition. and
the player must learn to distin.
guish between the two.
The matter Of keeping the eye
on the ball has always been ex-
pressed By that term alone. where
rs what has been meant IL this:
The player must keep his eye and
his mind on tho ball at the Same
time. That Ii, he must be actually
conscious Of seeing the ball when
hs looks At Il.
He must know that he is looking
directly at the ball, and must be
conscious Of that fact. The mind,
in other words, must not be con.
cerned with the club or other factors
Of the stroke. .
He must see the ball clearly and
definitely before his eyes as the
clubhead comes down to It, and must
be conscious that the clubhead
passes through II, before his gaze,
and Hwfahea IL away
This In q hard detail Of the game
to master, and II cannot be accom-.
plished successfully until the player
has progressed to the point where
he can largely forget" the points
involved in the taking up Of the club
and bringing It down.
But only at such time as he can
80 watch the ball will he develop
signs of becoming an accurate
player capable of a good card.
Once the player has attained
Of seeing his ball when he makes
his stroke he will find himself in
the way Of making true and
straight shots. Moreover. he will
be 80 fixedly In the habit Of do.
ing II that Il will be difficult for
him not to do II.
recall how the officials Of the
Western Golf Association asked
Bob Mcdonald, the fine Chicago
pro. to hit a few balls with the
toe Of his club 50 they could OBJ
serve the slicing effects Of a steel
shafted club which Mcdonald was
testing for the association.
Bob tried again and again TO
toe" one but he couldn't do II.

the ball for a clean-hit. far-flyiug
ball every time.
This undoubtedly was because
