Silent Reinsman Has Long
Been StraddIing Legs
in SuIky.

CLEVELAND, May 29.-Ed r..
crPop'O Geers, the silent reinsman,
is preparing to commence his fiftys
first seasons campaign behind the
sulky. He is training Sanardo
Q:591a), the champion pacing gelding
of the half-mile tracks. 1t was
with Senardo that he toured the
country last year, deserving the
Grand Circuit in midseason to do
exhibition miles with his little
gelding.
Geers on January % celebrated
his seventy-second birthday. He
spent the day at his stables in
| Memphis and the following day
drove his own car 220 miles into
Mississippi to attend a fox hunt.
Daily during the winter and spring
he has seen to the training Of his
horses. No other driver Is per-
mitted to test their speed on the
track, and the result is that Pop"
does from twenty to forty miles a
day in the sulky. Rain, snow, or
sleet has no effect on the old man.
He has a time for training, and
when the time comes he drives, re-.
CARELESS of the elements.
He has opened training quarters
at North Randall and will remain
there for the opening of the Grand
Circuit, for while he intends to
race Sanardo in exhibition miles,
he feels the call Of his first love,
and will drive a few races in the
big time. He opens his barn.storm-
ing tour at Toronto early in June,
racing Sanardo the Saturday pre-
ceding, or the Monday following
the Queens birthday, which is Sun
day, the Sd.
Pops" hopes are high this year.
Sanardo never has shown the early
season form displayed this spring
Contracts calling for several exhi-
billions, and totaling in the neigh
borhood of $4,000, already have
been signed. His other PAGERS and
trotters are in fine fettle.

He Jabs A Lot.

THE European champion jabs
a great deal with his left and
shoots his right straight in
most of the time. His best blows
seem to be delivered at short
range. He has a mean uppercut,
but does very little hooking.
What his plan of battle will be
against Kilbane he does not dis
close. He is noted as a body
puncher and possibly he hopes to
get to Kilbane's wind early in the
bout and wear him down.
1t has been said that he does not
fear the effect of a blow to his
left jaw-the one which was shot
away at Verdun and which was re-
placed by an artificial jawbone.
This may be true to a certain ex-
tent, but Criqui, nevertheless, does
not expose this jaw needlessly.
At times, for exhibition pur-
poses, Criqui sticks out his jaw and
permits his opponens to slug him.
He can block cleverly, however. If
Kilbane cannot get results from
rights to the head he may find the
other side of Criqui's face more
vulnerable. Johnny has a good left
hook. He shoots it fast and can
hurt with it.
The measurements of the two
little fellows are almost identical.
Each is 5 feet 51a inches tall. Kill
bane's reach is 67h inches; Criqui's
SO. Kilbane weighs around 1913
now. Criqui weighed 1875 yester-
day. The Frenchman's wrist is
slightly thicker than Kilbane's.
Both men could enter the ring to-
morrow and be in top-hole form.
Kilbane has eased off in his work
and is doing very little boxing.
Criqui does more road work than
Johnny and more boxing. 1t may
be bad thing for him. Little men
have been known to leave too much
energy in a gymnasium before a
fight.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1923-05-29

there under the trees he works
each afternoon while the neighbors
sit on their back porches and look
on.
Carpenters old training camp is
about three miles from Criqui's
headquarters. He also does his
bag punching in a little barn, but
on account of limited space his
ring is pitched right up against
the back door Of his cottage.
There each afternoon Mrs.
Criqui, a handsome French girl,
places her chair, and from the
back porch chatters with her hus-
band and the camp followers be-
tween rounds.
She is Partisan in style, and as
she chatted with interviewers
through an interpreter she smoked
a cigarette and appeared to enjoy
her role of hostess. Mrs. Criqui
has never seen her Eugene in
actual ring combat and doesn't
plan on being at the ringside when
he meets Kilbane.
For the benefit Of the visitors
Criqui boxed three rounds after a
long session of rope skipping and
shadow boxing. He ,alternated
with Leon Poutet, former light
weight champion of France, and
Mario Gall, a lightweight. Poutet
is now a welterweight. Neither
sparring partner is fast enough to
speed Criqui up to the pace he
will need for Kilbane.

Ought to Know, As He Has
Fought Challenger and
Champion.


MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, May 30.
Tommy Gibbons has better than
an even chance to defeat Champion
Shelby, Mont, ring, July 4. This
il the opinion Of Billy Miske, st.
Paul heavyweight, who has fought
both men.
"If Tommy will box him, as ]
am sure he will do, he will give
Dempsey the greatest fight of his
life and will have better than an
even chance to win," said Billy
today. 1T know Tommy will not
make the mistake Of trying to fight
Dempsey, for the first few rounds
at least. believe Tom can and
will keep away from the champ. II
he saves his punches he will have
as good chance as the champion of
slipping a real one over"
One of the big questions in
Montana, according to Miske, will
be Dempsey's ability to travel.
Billy doubts Jack will be able to
rush Tommy and knock him out.
like he did Carpenter, Willard,
Fulton and others. Tommy is too
good a boxer, too clever and too
much Of a threat If Dempsey comes
in wide open. Gibbons can hit
hard enough to knock any man out.
Dempsey will be protecting him
self against ore of those Gibbons
punches, but he Will try to win by
a kayo inside Of five rounds. II
he fails, as Miske and many
others believe he will, he is liable
to be defeated. Dempsey is easily
excited and may give Tommy an
opening if he finds he is unable
to hit, like Miske learned, for in.
stance In other words, Gibbons
will try and give the champion a
case Of nerves" A few missed
swings will produce this effect,
Miske believes.

That one will now be allowed to

done about the proposal to nullify
plans whereby Mike McTigue and
Georges Carpenter are to meet in
July for worlds championship

on it's feet, if held, because Of the
proximity Of other and more at
tractive issues.
This applies to so-called title

This Is the program to date for
the greatest season in the history
Of boxing. Champions are roaming
at large everywhere, and the air
is full of fists.
The temperance of Mr.. Leonard
is sign of the times. Benjamin
Is not taking his title into the
ring tonight. The bout is merely a
discreet gesture, calculated to re-
viVe interest in Mr.. Leonard's de-
sire to mingle with Lew Tender,
an enterprise which must be con-
Quoted before the end of the present
summer. Benny has discovered that
it is less difficult to sock a chin
than grab a headline these fitful
days.
He is not alone in that The
worthy Mr.. Rickard and other local
promoters are getting nowhere in
particular, what with Tom O'Rourke
staging world championship bouts
OF international Importance, and
Dempsey defending his title at
Shelby, Mont. Hence, the warming
over Of the Dempsey Wills contro,
versy. This may or may not come
to anything, but it will cut into the
publicity of O'Rourke and the Shelby
philanthropists.
The Leonard Tender bout is, of
course, a natural" and must fit
into the program somewhere. 1t
Is entirely too big for an indoor
bout, and II they wait until next
summer, either or both may have
become a dead one.
The attraction, however, has be-
come lost. temporarily, in the
yammer about other matches. So
has the Joe Lynch-Carl Tremaine
bout for the bantamweight title.
This was a very hot issue during
the winter season, but the cooUn q
process has been rapid and almost
complete.
AT one time, also, there was
much ado about rematchine Gene
Tunney and Harry Greb for the
American Aght'heavywsight title.

Jack Dempsey has been tossed
into the ring with men who can
sock like a Mississippi mule, but
his ears remain unmarked.
frankie Genaro and Mickey Walk
er haven't been in the game long
enough to make the absence of the
cauliflower worthy of comment, but
as a matter of record it may be
mentioned that their ears are with.
out unnatural upholstery.
Even Johnny Wilson has been
immune In spite of his ring
crudeness. From this it might
be gathered that a kindly provi-
dence watches over some cham
piOns, since only luck or elastic
ears could protect a second rater
like Wilson from the cauIiflower.
Perhaps this was true Of some Of
the old timers, also. Neither Jeff.
ries nor Sullivan was hard to hit,
but their ears were normal. Jim
Corbett and Freddie Welsh, of
course, came by their unmarked
ears naturally.
But there must be an exception
or two, Of necessity. Johnny Dun
dee, clever in his own peculiar way,
has pair OF ears like toy balloons.
His cleverness, however, Is not in
avoiding a blow altogether, but in
letting 1t slide off him harmlessly
or taking 1t on some portion of the
body not susceptible to the knock
out. It is inevitable, therefore,
that his ears would have to take
much Of the grief.
