81 looked at those fellows" said
Clark Griffith to US one day last
season, following one of his visits
to Baltimore, "and Boley is the
only one Of the lot who looks even
as if he might come through in
this league. He does some things
very well. Others he doesn't do SO
well. But he is young, has good
pair of hands and might learn
Right now l wouldn't say he was
ready. The others won't do"
Unless our memory fails US, we
wrote something to this effect then
1t was copied by one Of the Balti-
more papers, drawing from Jack
Dunn one Of his customary wild
shrieks in that well-known falset-
to.
Boley is hitting better this year
than he did last, which may cover
up other weaknesses that big
league scouts might discover. From
all accounts he is ready to take his
place in fast company right now,
Jack Dunn's narrow policy alone
keeping him from the heights.
However, If Jack Dunn wants
the Washington franchise for Boley
the latter will never come to the
Capital. Possibly the Cincinnati
Reds or the Chicago White Sox or
some other club will obtain him
That1l be all right.
A smart baseball man told Us
in the West this spring that, in
his humble estimation, Boley was
the one and only member Of the
Baltimore Orioles who wouldn't
look out Of place in a major league
lineup. In that case Dunn is q
wise gent to demand lot Of money
for him. And Dunn is a wise gent
and, if he allows his enmity for
Clark Griffith to interfere with his
business sense, Boley will never
come to the Washington club.

IN ODAY the Milan gang OF

IN ODAY the Milan gang opens
a five-game series with the
- Indians in Cleveland. They
have succeeded in breaking even
with the Tigers in a series for the
first time this season, which should
make the lads glad. However,
though winning all three games
in Cleveland on their first visit
there this year, it is unlikely that
they will come anywhere near that
now.
1t is gradually becoming known
that the 1922 Grffmen won't do.
They may "have their eyes on the
first division" as much as they
will. 1t is not likely that they'll
ever get their feet into it again
this season. e..
Manager Milan, too, is quoted as
saying that he is through with ex-
perimenting." That's good, con-
sidering it is now practically Au-
gust, with but two more months of
the campaign remaining.
What should happen, to have il
count for much in the future, is for
Manager Milan, with the active
support Of President Griffith, to
begin experimenting as soon as pos.
sible. The 1922 campaign may be
forgotten without damage or pre-
judice. 1t is the future which
looms up without any too much
brightness.
This years lineup will not do.

Leonard's failing punch for the fact
that the bout went the limit OF
twelve rounds. A dozen times or
more, Leonard crossed his right
full on Tenders jaw or reached

so after winning the title. He
went through the field like a
meteor, his toll Of knockouts being
approximately six in every ten
bouts.
The best lightweights Of the
day were goaled, the feature of
Leonard's work being his ability
to finish them quickly once he
had his victims In distress.
1t was SO with Freddie Welsh in
the ninth round at Manhattan Casino
in 1917 when the title changed hands.
1t was so with Richie Mitchell In
the seventh round at Milwaukee
some months later.
The war interrupted his activities,
however, and II is a matter Of record
that Leonard never has come back

those early days. His most impres'

for the second time and Rocky
Kansas. And several Of these were
not above reproach.
II all accounts Of his bout with
Kansas at Michigan City are
trustworthy, II took Leonard eight
rounds to stop a man with .
broken arm. At that, Kansas was
on his feet Mt the end.
In the old days, Melling would
not have stood up before Leonard q
punches for fourteen rounds. But
he managed to do SO in the one of
the first feature bouts held at the
Garden and some thought he might
have lasted the limit II allowed to
do so.
There has always been Q cloud
over his nine.round Knockout Of
White because the latter has never
ceased to lament that Leonard hit
him on the break. Be that as II
might, II is noteworthy that there
has been no unseemly haste In the
Leonard camp to engage in another
bout with White.

IT couldn't tell him much about

was promising to put up a thousand
dollars as a side bet that he could

wanted to know all about this man

II don't think Joe is afraid Of any

includes the Masked Marvel. But /
am surprised that he didn't make
some different sort OF a reply when
issued that challenge. 1t didn't
sound right, that's all.

afraid Of him, merely because he

the challenge"
Meanwhile. Freeman is saving

unknown Masked Marvel. II Turner
wants to take the chance OF befeat

OF all negro heavyweight maui
ers why should Wills be chosen as
the logical man to meet the hard
pounding Mr.. Dempsey?
Boxing enthusiasts Of the North
west simply cannot swallow wis
as an opponent for the fast slugger
who hammered Fulton, Willard
Brennan and Carpenter into sub
mission.
And their opinions are based on
first t-hand evidence, for the North
west has seen Wills in four bouts
during the last six months. In none
Of these scraps did he show any
thing which appeared to entitie
him to consideration as an oppo,
nent for Dempsey and in two OF
tbem-those against Bill Tate-hs
was decisively beaten and relieved
OF his so-called crown as negro
heavyweight champion.
The sports world should know
that Wills didn't leave Portland
for the East with any laurels
added to his fistic record and in
consequence Northwest boxing
fans were all the more surprised
when announcement was made
that he was to be pitted against
the chief nabob Of the heavyweight
tribe.
The most astonished man in the
United States Is Tom Louttit, re
tired undefeated amateur heavy
weight champion Of the Pacific
coast, who refereed all four oi
Wills puglistic encounters in Port
land.
Incidentally, Louttitf explains why
he awarded Tate the decision ir
the first fight with Wills and
called the second one a draw, al
though admitting that Tate had
mauled Wills into a pulp.
II awarded Tate the first scrap
says Louttit, because Wills de
liberately fouled him and apparent
ly Intentionally disobeyed my in
structions. They were fighting under
clean-break rules.
THE men were clinched in sTate'i
corner. tapped them on the
shoulder and ordered them to break
Tate dropped his hands and stepped
back
Then Wills half turned Tate
around, by catching one of his
elbows, and. holding him with one
hand stepped in and delivered a
smash to the Jaw.
"Tate dropped, dazed, but not
knocked out, and looked at me TO
see what would do. The foul was
so palpable that i at once picked
Tate up and raised his hands as
the victor. The bout cost Wills
the so-called negro heavyweight
title. Wills looked like q rank
amateur.
The Washington times., 1922-07-29

"In the second bout. fought one
week later, I called the bout draw
because Wills had done most Of the
leading and had been the aggressor.
although he had not landed a clean
blow and had been outboxed, outhit,
and outmaneuvered by Tate. I be-
lieve Tate could have scored knock
out any time after the seventh
round.
Tate proved himself to be Wills
master In every department Of the
game, better in footwork, cleaner in
his hitting, surer of his distance, and,
above all. shrewder and more de.
liberate in his head work. Wills
never displayed any of the qualities
of a champion"
