Willard /; the enormous Kan
san who once held the heavy
weight championship. He lost
his title to Dempsey partly be-
cause he did not train properly,
but mainly because he met an
infinitely better fighter.
Willard, after several years
of idleness, is now trying to
talk himself into another match
with Dempsey. The match will
never be permitted, because
Willard is in no condition to
fight Dempsey. He is a portly,
middle-a red man, who should
look to his spiritual future, let
ting young men do the fighting.
Willard's reference to Miske
and Brennan was the result of
a suggestion that he meet one
or the other to show his physi-
cal condition. Those who do
not care for boxing may say
that Wizards reference covers
ALL fighters. including Will

However, for those interest

few statements of fact and de-
ductions.
Miske met Dempsey three
times, holding him fairly even
IN a ten-rounder when Demp-
sey was fast approaching the
peak of his ability. Billy met
Jack again in a six-rounder,
and finally was knocked out by
Dempsey in three rounds.
Brennan fought Dempsey
twice. The first time he was
knocked out in six rounds, the
second time in twelve rounds.
He is the only man who has
gone beyond ten rounds with
Dempsey since the champions

WILLARD met Dempsey once.

his corner for the fourth
round, sitting on his stool a

IN says:
"Alonzo of Aragon was won't
to say in commendation of age
that age appeared to be best in
four things-old wood to burn,
old wine to drink, old friends to
trust and old authors to ready
But age is not always to be
relied upon for a true estimate
of men and events of the past.
Old men nodding in the shad-
ows of memory see strange
things, say strange things. Es-
pecially is this true of old box
ers.
Joe Choynski was a light
heavyweight. He is now only
fifty-four years old, but evil
IDENTIFY THINKS older than that.
1t is a sure sign of extreme
mental age when a man lives IN
the past, seeing only giants
among the pigmy ghosts Of his
memory.
Choynski belongs to the ring
period that produced Jim Cor
bett, Joe Goddard, Tom Shar-
key, Peter Maher, Kid Mccoy,
Joe Walcott, Kid Carter, Jack
O'Brien.
Choynski will perhaps recall
these men. They all beat him,
some of them two or three
times. Choynski may be inter-
ested, too, in an estimate of his
own ability, furnished by an
old-timer, Honest John" Kel-
ley, once famous referee.
"Choynski was a good game
fellow, with a glass chin," re-
marked Kelley.

CTANLEY KETCHEL, D'Ar-
~ tagnan of the ring, was the
last GREAT middleweight. Old
timers, remembering both men
at their best, say he would have
given Choynski a stout battle.
Young Corbett, youthful in
years, but an old man in ex-
perience and dissipation when he
met Terry McGovern, beat one
of the greatest little fighters
of all-time ring history when
he beat the Brooklyn Terror.
This is not our own estimate
of McGovern. 1t is the estimate
of men who are better Judges
than Choynski. Corbett was
fair boxer, a terrific hitter for
a small man. Had he not dissi-
pated early and late in his ca
reer, he would have had a long
reign over his division.

HAD STUDIED HIS SUBJECT
Little Bobby's Essay Showed He Knew
Practically All There Was to
Know About Doors.

Little Bobby Jones was told to write
an essay on Door" and the effort
which he sent in was as follows:
Most houses have all the doors
that they need, and no house is com
plete without at least one. The tive
main differences between door and
gate is: first, their opposite loca-
tion and, second, that people have
much less respect for gate, and
would rather kick it than knock on it,
But gate is more useful than a
door because it does everything that
door can do, and, besides that, it
can be climbed over, and often is.
"The door handle is small but i'm
portant part of the door which peo-
pie never appreciate until it comes
off. Most people never notice the door
handle unless it Is brought to their
notice on account of having Jam
spread all over it.
Doors are great things to give peo-
pie privacy, and would give them still
more if it wasn't for the keyholes."-
