TO SETTLE A CHAMPIONSHIP

Mr.. Bill Tate, the black hippopota-
mus, and Mr. Harry Wills, the black
panther, with great good nature, gave
return performance in the milwaukee,
ring, near Portland, but failed to settle
anything. They went the ten round
distance to a draw and matters seem
to remain as they did when Mr.. Tate
sprintcd for a beefsteak after being
clipped on the jaw by Mr.. Wills.
Mr. Tate's friends say that the clip
to the Jaw, in violation OF rules and in
structions, knocked him into the black
into the rosin, and that the subsequent
found him-champion.
Mr. Wills friends say that the Sec
ond go was complete substitution for
the first, an abrogation and notification
of it, erasing it from the record as a
thing which was not and that therefore
there has been no decision of the black
heavyweight championship
We are disposed to recognize the
black heavyweight champion as a dual
ity and we suggest that Mr.. Wills or
Mr.. Tatewills now challenge the white
heavyweight champion, Mr. Dempsey.
Tex Richard need not worry about the
gate. There will be an attendance of
the citizenry if it is to be announced
Gentlemen, in this corner Mr.. Demp-
sey, in this corner Mr.. Wills and Mr.
Tate"
Here is just the dish for Mr.. Demp-
sey, who is known as a fighting fool
1t is very attractive idea and it would
provide Mr.. Dempsey with an oppo.

Sam McVea-The Oxnard Giant.

Young gentlemen OF the prize ring,
you are at present living IN period of
great opulcnce.
You-many of you of scant ability
arc getting more money for prellmi-
nary bouts than real great fighters OF a
few years back got for main bouts.
Some OF you get more money for a
single fight than oldtime fighters made
during their entire careers, after fight
ing many desperate battles.
Let us advise you to save your mon
ey. This period OF prosperity will not
always last, and may never come
again.
Sam McVea, sturdy negro heavy
weight, died few days ago of pneu-
monia, leaving his family penniless.
1t was not because McVea threw his
money away, but because he never
made much money. He came ahead
of the period OF big purses
McVea was known as 1.-The Oxnard
Giant" He was born at Oxnard, Cal,
thirty-six years ago. In the first year
of his fighting career, when he was
eighteen years old, he boxed the tough
Kid Carter, the equally tough Denver
Ed Martin, and the great Jack John
son twice, both twenty-round bouts.
He probably got very little money
for these bouts. Had McVca been a
white man, with his ability he would
have been a championship contender
throughout his career, and almost to
the day Of his death. for as late as 1920
he was meeting Harry Wills, account
ed the best of the colored men. Nc
Yea once whipped Wills in twenty
rounds.
For eighteen years McVea made his
living with his fists, meeting any man
who could be induced to enter the
ring with him-Langford, Jeanette,
Jeff Clark and scores of others.
And the irony of his career lies in
the fact that he died pennless, while a
lot of men with less than half his abil-
ity got rich because of the difference
in color. McVea, old as he was, could
have broken Georges Carpenter in
two last July, yet Carpenter got $780,
900 for a few minutes effort.
He was a good, square old character,
McVea. 1t is pity he had to die as
he did DAMON RUNYON.

Says Bill Tate
Has Just Struck
His True Stride

Smiling Bill Buckner has just about
given the correct explanation for the
wonderful showing that Bill Tate has
been making recently. Buckner states
that Tate has always been a great
boxer but that while training Dempsey
that he was forced to pull his punches
that withheld the steam and power.
Tate got into that habit and has just
recently got into the knack of putting
over the pile driver punches
Tate Is No False Alarm
Bill Tate is no false alarm; he is
a clean-cut giant and makes study
OF the game. His defeat and draw with
Wills does not mean that Wills is not
good. but that Tate is better Watch
out. for Bill Tate maybe is the lad to
bring home the bacon.

berforce University defeated Hamp-
ton Institute, "a to 18, on Hampton's
court on Saturday, Jan. 4, in what
spectators declared to be the most
brilliant game witnessed at Hampton

beginning Of the game until the sound
Of the timekeeper's whistle there was
great defensive playing by both teams
as well as wonderful passing and
spectacular shooting. The brilliancy
of play brought the spectators to
their feet constantly as the two teams
battled for supremacy in their first
inter-sectional clash.
The first half ended IL to in
favor of the visitors. The score was
evened early in the second half, but
Wlberforce again took the lead and
held in throughout the game. With
two minutes to play and The score
standing Is to 20, the Ohioans
clinched the victory by making two
sensational shots from the center of
the floor.

fought throughout. 1t was fine
demonstration of craftsmanship of
the highest type.
