Sure! AU Sorry
 For Our Patsy

The first real Jolt of the New Year for Bridgeport fight fans was the news of Patsy BogaSh being knocked out in the fourth round by Tommy StapIetOn in their bout last night at the Pion- -eer club show.
 But the defeat should be les son to Patsy. who has n host of friends in the circle of local sports. Patsy. two weeks ago was a sick boy, confined to his bed, we believe. Yet, he and his manager. Joe Smith, was dazzIed by the $500 guarantee lure, and they carried through the fight.
 In a nutshell both were money mad. Patsy was in no condition 10 fight and nearly every fight fan who freIuentS Onion Square (around the Dwycr-LeWiS lunch wagon) was aware of the fact.
 Patsy is good fellow. The To- cal boxing fraternity all like him and hate to see him laid low as he was last night. It's up to Patsy to use better judgment next time.

 Coach Earl Nea1e of the Presidents and Coach Andy Smith of the Bears, made brief comments
 *tI am entirely satisfied with the showing my men made" said Nea1e. ttIf they had had few more breaks they wouldn't have won. The Washington and Jefferson team out played California throughout. and needed only a little luck to prove it in the score. The slippery condition of the playing field was quite 8 han dicap to my team. The work of some of the officials was far from satis- factory to me-"
 My men put everything they had into the game" said Smith. ''but could not penetrate the customers strong defense on the muddy field. I am sorry the conditions prevented California from using it's usual spec taIcular plays, and am convinced that if the game had been played on dry field. California would have won. I have nothing but praise for the Washington and Jefferson squad It is a real team. and gave us a real battle"

 The Separates however came back strong in the second half. but could
 not overcome the big lead the locals

 The last five minutes of play was the most exciting part of the game Both teams were playing hard and at the end were pretty well tired out. The scores now stand even each team claiming a victory, and a de ciding game is being c1amored for by the fans.
 It is probable Mgr. Charlie Rosen- bluh will bring the Separates here again. Marron for the locals was the in-- dividua1 star of the game. He is one of the bes: forwards the '. M. team ever had. His great defense and passing game was a feature.

Roper After
 Battle With
 Jack Dempsey

Tex Rickard. it is reported, Is on the hunt for 8 suitable opponent to air arena in Jersey City on July A. Every Tom. Dick and Harry has been mentioned prospective can didate to go against the champion. A man whose record entities him to the utmost consideration has thus far been kept out of bhe picture.
 Capt. Bob Roper, the Chicago heavyweight, who is under my man. opinion, will give Dempsey a harder fight than any of the other candi- dates whose names nave been men tioned. perusal of the army mans doings in the squared circle since the Worlds war terminated, will conc1u- sively prove that Capt. Bob Roper is the man and the only man to pit against the man-k1ller.
 What has Roper done? Glance at his list of victims in the past three years and you will readily agree that the victories roper has scored en- titles him to demand a match with Jack kearns entry. How we'll the good natured Ch1cagoan, who tips the beam at 190 pounds and stands feet II inches in his stocking feet, learned the art of give and take in the army was demonstrated by his great achievement in the professional prize ring.
 During the past 36 months Roper has scored knocRouts over Frank Moran, Al Roberts, K, O, Sampson and Carl Morris. besides whipping such redoubtab1e big fellows as Tom Gibb Bob Martin. Harry Greb, Bill Brennan. Chuck Wigins, Bartley Madden and Hughey Walker. Roper has met Gibens twice, Brennan twice Greb three times and Wiggins four times. and whipped them ali.
 That alone entities the Windy City gladiator to recognition from Pro- moter Rfokard in hunting man to meet Dempsey. but there Is still another reason why Roper should get the match, Eigh4oen months ago the captain met the e1-ehamplon. Jack Johnson. in a ten-round bout in Mexico City and gave the clever negro an aGSistio treuneing, That's another reason and big one why Rickard should not overlook Roper.
 I am placing this record before you hoping you will help me land the match for Roper. whose record makes him the foremost of any of the con- tenders fer the biggest Iaurefs in the squared circle,

Wilson Squirms
 Out Of Greb
 Go In Garden

| New Y ork, Jan. S-There will be no 1 fight next month between Johnny | Wilson, of Boston, and Harry Greb, | of Pittsburgh. The middleweights
 were matched by Tex Rtckard about ten days ago and the battle was to have taken place in Madison Square Garden some time during February. Wilson, fulfilling certain predictions that have been made. has squirmed ] out of the match, and his manager, Martin K1lllea, stated in Boston yes- terday that the alleged middleweight champion had not the slightest conn punction about withdrawing from the affair and leaving MT, Tex Rtckard fiat,
 The latest development in the
 mussy middleweight situation would
 seem to indicate that Ktllilea and Wilson have put something over on Rfckard in more ways than one. Ae- cording to Killilea. the Madison Square Garden promoter made Will son sign articles for the Greb match before he would pay him the $35, ,o0N
 purse which was held up after his bout with Bryan Downey in Jersey City on Labor Day,
 In statement given out yesterday Wilson's manager declared that it was only by aeceding to this condition
 that he could obtain the money that was coming to him. In view of this
 faet, Killilea said, the champion felt
 that he had right to cancel the
 Greb engagement.
 When Rickard announced that Will son and Greb had been matched for
 a fifteen-round encounter in F>ebru-
 ary the ring sharps hereabouts re-
 fused to take the news seriously, and
 the prediction was made that John
 ny would never ask his title by com
 ing within reach of the dangerous
 fists of the Pittsburgh boy. Johnny picks 'em soft or not at all. Wilson's action in defaulting the
 Greb match may lead to his being
 barred from further ring appearances

 ton of the Boxing Commission by

FRED FULTON
 JUST "ROARlN"
 FOR A SCRAP
By LACK VEIOCK.

New York, Jan. 9-Big Fred Full ton is in town and rarin to go. Min ed by Tex Rickard as the logical man of the present day to meet Jack Dempsey, arrived here in time to make a New Years resolution to go hopes to fulfil it before many months have passed.
 Fulton is aching to erase the de- feat Dempsey scored over him in Newark, and win the championship
 All I ask is the chance,' said Fulton today. "Ive waited patiently for 1t. I've seen other aspirants come and go. I've got many friends who believe L can beat Dempsey now and believe it. too, am bigger and stronger today than ever was be- fore. l know more about flgh ing, too. I've learned many things since Dempsey and I met in Newark in 1918. So why shold I be denied a shot at the championship with Demp sey pining away for somebody to fight him.
 I'm here to talk turkey with to press my claims for a chance at Dempsey. but I am willing to meet any other man the public may de- mand prior to a bout with the cham pion,
 I've heard some talk of match between Brennan and myself. Well, Bills acceptable to ma. I don't bar any one. In fact anybody who will get Brennan for me will be doing me a favor. I believe I can beat him within three rounds.
 But Dempsey the fellow I want and I'll never rest till I get my chance. I predited by my one meet ing with him and I'll tell the world it will be different the next time"
 Fulton has been working toward a com eback for some time. He says he is fit and he looks it. He recently knocked out Carl Morris and several other opponents. Tex Rickard figures him the one man available for a match with Dempsey this winter.
 ''I'm through with Willard as prospect" Rioifard tala ttais writer. II don't belieFe new that Jess will try comeback: Fraa Fulton is the only fellow I can Raint te this min ute as a match fer the champion ship.''

 Walker weighed 122 pounds and Lynch 11s.
 The knockout was the second that enllVened an exceptionally goed New ears program put on at the Pioneer a certain Tommy Stapleton. of this city, having turned out the lights en one Patsy Bagash, a Bridgeport prod uct, in ane of the preliminaries
