WILLARD GAINS
IN ODDS with
WILD BULL
Firpo Now Only 2 to ! Favor.
ite, Whereas He Started
at 8 to 4.

NEW YORK. July with the
Willard. .Firpo contest at Jersey City
only eight days off, the Kansas
giant is gaining favor with the
fans. and the wagering on the out
come is leaning toward Willard
more every day.
When the match was first made
Firpo was a pronounced favorite at
the odds of 3 to /, but now 2 to
is the best the Firpo admirers will
offer, and it is likely that Willard
will go into the ring close to even
money.
1t was a question OF condition
with the Willard followers. Many
thought he would return here in
poorer condition than when he met
johnson, but the big fellow has
surprised them and those who have
seen him in action at the Colum-
bus Sporting Club at Yonkers say
that he is so per cent better than
when he was training for Johnson.
A few opinions gathered from
those in the know" favor Willard
to win. Here they are:
Jack Skelly-WilIard will out
smart Firpo, who is a year away
from a match with him, Dempsey
or Wills.
Floyd Johnson-Willard has the
experience on Firpo and he will be
a lot better than he was against
me. think he will stop Firpo in
about eight rounds.
Harry Pollock-Willard will take
this fellow after Firpo punches
himself out. Jess Is a better man
than most people think.
Jim Corbett-It is a tough one
to pick. / think 1t will be one Of
the best heavyweight battles we
ever had. The winner will beat
Dempsey.
Charley O'Day-Firpo is a real
fighter and will beat down Willard
with his heavy punches. Johnson
was only plaything for Jess, but
he is up against a tough bird i'm
F1rpo. Jess won't stand the pace.
Tex Rickard-I was always with
the young fellow, but Jess is a good
general, has the experience and can
hit. Too hard to pick for me.
Jack OBrien-It will be the best
battle in years, and the first fell
low to land will have a so per cent
edge. Looks like a knockout.
Scotty Monteith Willard will
stop Firpo. Luis stands up straight

Babe Ruth's Home Run in FIT
teenth Defeats Mogridge
After Hot Fight.

NEW YORK, July with h
doubleheader this afternoon the
Yanks and Griffs close their series
at the Yankee stadium. hiking out
West as soon as the second contest
ends. The champions have won
both games played so far, though
the crafty George Mogridge made
them go to the fifteenth inning
yesterday before Babe Ruth settled
the dispute, 2 to /, with one OF his
patented homers up among the
empty seats in the rightfield
bleachers. The victory put the
Yankees ten and a half games ahead
of the Philadelphia Athletics.
Mogridge aud Bush fought a
brilliant mound duel yesterday. In
the eighth Bush slapped a home run
into the leftfield seats, but in the
ninth Charity beat out a grounder
to Scott and tailed when Evans
hoisted a .three-bagger up the bank
in right center. Ruth's relay peg
from Witt cut down the flying Griff-
man at the plate. sending the game
into extra innings.
Coming to bat first in the Yanks'
fifteenth, Ruth. looked at a wide one
sail by and smote the next one.
sending it into the rightfield bleachers
for the circuit and victory.
In the tenth, with one out and
the bases jammed, Pipp shot liner
to right. Bucky Harris speared it
on the fly, doubling up Ruth at first.
Again in the thirteenth, hits by
Ruth and Pipp were followed by an
intentional pass to Meusel, filling
the bases with one down. Ward
forced Ruth at the plate and Scott
popped to Peck.
Bob Meusel STAYED off defeat in
the fourteenth when he reached over
into the seats in left and grabbed
Bucky Harris. try for a home run.
Ossie Bluege, the Washington kid
thirdsacker, with a brilliant diving
stop far to his left, robbed Ward Of
a hit and kept Pipp on third base
with a perfect peg to Charity.
With Mogridge. DOME Bush's only
capable hurler, out of the way, the
Yankees expect to win both games
today and start West prepared to
clean up everybody.

their stride until the middle Of

I'm not alarmed over the fact
that we lost four straight to the
Yankees in New York. It was
tough, I'll admit, and can point
out many reasons why we should
have won at least two Of them
But I'd much rather lose 'em
now than in October, when we
visit the Yankee Stadium to wind
up the season with sthe champions.
I have not given up hope that
we'll be there or .thereabouts on

BACKHAND PUNCH ISN'T
BARRED BY REGULATIONS

The backhand punch used by Pan
cho Villa in his bout with Jimmy
Wilde for the flyweight champion
ship caused great deal of comment.
Boxing fans still are writing to find
out whether the blow is a legal one,
evidently confusing it with the pivot
blow.
There is nothing in the Marquis
of Queensberry rules or the rules of
the boxing commission against it as
long as it Is delivered with the
knuckles of the glove. However. it
is an unsightly maneuvre and box

Now, the man in the street is
the man with a vote concealed
somewhere about his system. He
can kill boxing deader than a
door nail the moment he wakes
up, and the man in the street,
as all politicians know to their
sorrow, has a way of coming to
life every now and then.
Boxing is going to be killed in
this country just as sure as
shooting unless a decided change
takes place in it's management.
The first change must be in the
matter of guaranteeing boxers
for their work in the ring. Un-
less that habit 81 killed, there re-

Dempsey and Gibbons
Each Expects
to Win.

SHELBY, Mont, July A.
Both Jack Dempsey and Tom
Gibbons were confident today
that victory would perch in
their corners.
"I hope to win within q. few
rounds" said Dempsey. "I
shall go out to finish Gibbons
quickly and always have been a
quick knocker-out and Gibbons
will not escape"
"The longer the battle goes
the better it will be for me, !"
Gibbons declared. 81 can punch

Dempsey cannot hit me hard

shall win."
Both fighters appeared to be

"Parson" Tom McGinty, Sec
retary to Jimmy Dunn, Cleve-
land, Ohio: Everybody is pick
ing Dempsey around here from
one to six. rounds, but / think
Gibbons will fool lot of them.
If Dempsey isn't in shape, and
real shape, he is up against a
stiff proposition, for Gibbons
will make him travel fast for at
least eight or nine rounds. If
Gibbons can't put it over, then
the weight will come to Jacks
rescue and he will probably stop
Gibbons before the limit, but
it's going to be one of the
greatest fights ever held by
heavyweights and will be an
other Sharkey-Jeffries affair,
for Gibbons can hit the cham
pion and will hit him. AL
though / am a warm admirer

marvel of the ring, l think Glib
bons is a great fighter, and
great deal better than the aver

Boxers and their managers
pursued by greed, care little or
nothing about how the promoter
gets the money. They demand
theirs, that's all.
Just to show how the thing
works, we know of a fifth-rate
boxer who went to Heinic Miller,
matchmaker for the ill-fated
Sportland arena, and offered his
services. for $3.50 guaranteed. He
also wanted a percentage giving
him more provided the show drew
we'll. Guaranteeing this young
man $3.50 would just about
swamp Miller. He declined the
offer.
Under the rules of the New
York Boxing Commission, speci-
fled guarantees have been abol-
ished. At no time can more than
so per cent Of the gate receipts
be paid to the boxers in the main
bout.
The end of boxing is coming
rapidly when the boxers take all
the money. Yes, they take all
the wallops, but that's their game.
They are not compelled to fol-
low boxing as a profession. They
might get jobs with picks and
shovels or driving trucks.
Unless the promoter can make
a fair share out of the game there
is no incentive for him to remain
in it,. Without promoters, boxers
will have to do their own pro-
noting. Those knowing the mod
ern boxer never expect to see this
time come about, nor that style of
conducting boxing shows.

Should Save 1t.

Should Save 1t.
TTN HERE are many who like
boxing, either to engage in
II it or merely to act as the
paying spectator. We confess to
a liking for boxing from safe
seat close to the ring. We have
thousands of men of the same
idea. They keep the game going.
Professional boxing is con-
Quoted under commissions in many
States, but it always seemed to
US that the commissioners cared
less for the welfare of the sport
than they did merely to see their
names in print.
For instance, since Massachu-
setts adopted boxing commission
there has been less good boxing in
that State than there was under
the old regime.
Under the old so-called "pri-
vate club" arrangement we have
seen such men box in Boston as
Jem Driscoll, Ad Wolgast, Johnny
Kilbane, Jimmy Walsh, Frank
Klaus, Leo Houck, Stanley
Ketchel, Sam Langford, Owen
Moran, Joey Bowker, Abe Attell,
Battling Nelson, and Matty Bald
win, just to name few.
1t is doubtful if Boston has
seen such good boxers perform
since a commission was appointed
to govern the sport.
If the Massachusetts, boxing
commission really fostered the
sport, the game would have
grown greater instead of showing
signs of passing away altogether,
as it apparently has now.
