7WIRLS NO HIT GAME AGAINST KEYPOR7 HIGH
-FTpO Clash
Looms I'm Horizon:
Jess Is Back Smiling
johnson Game Fighter

In the Fulton bout johnson made
II apparent that his punch packed
no dynamite. In the Willard bout
the performance was repeated. John
son seemed to have no trouble reach
ing big Jess, but there was nothing
back Of his punches.
johnson is one Of the gamest fight
ers l ever have seen in action. He
can take 1t and keep coming. If his
knowledge of the ring game. plus his
punch, were equal to his gameness,
Jack Dempsey wouldn't have a
chance with the Iowa farmer boy.
But Floyd lacks experience and
the ring technique that goes with it.
He throws his punches over hard,
but apparently doesn't deliver them
properly.
The defeat of johnson at the
hands of Willard doesn't mean that
he is through. Johnson has youth
and courage-two assets capable of
surmounting all other obstacles Of
the ring.
Firpo, as I watched him in train
ing. seemed to have little or no
science. When he landed a punch on
a sparring partner, though even with
the heavy gloves used in the gymna-
SUM. it was evident he had some
thing back of every swing. Each
punch ~perceptibly Jared his SPAR
ring mates.
Luis Clumsy Yet Clever
Flrpo is an awkward, clever
hghter. who regards fighting in a
business way, and likes it.
When hard hit, he appears to fly
into a rage and starts swinging his
hairy arms in such a wild manner
that a dozen of them, instead of two,
appear to be flying through the air.
No doubt his opponent irnagines he
can see a hundred gloves being
thrown in his direction.
Unquestionably Luis is crude as
far as ring science goes. Yet he is
rival. He has proved he can take
punishment.
Likewise he has shown that he
can hit. The veteran Bill Brennan
spent a couple of weeks in a hospital
after Firpo had knocked him out in
their recent bout.
Best of all Firpo likes to fight. He
is cave man of the ring. He fears
no
Jess Never Better
Willard probably never entered
the ring in better shape than he did
last Saturday. Despite his forty and
more years, he showed plenty of
stamina. He routed the belief of
many experts that he must win in
side Of five round. The experts
thought he would tire rapidly after
going that distance.
jess Willard versus Luis Firpoi
That Is the next big attraction for
New York fight fans. In all prob
ability Tex Richard already has the
bout closed. Such a meeting should
draw close to $1,000, 900 IL staged at
the Yankee stadium.
1t would be a battle OF giants,
Both Firpo and Willard are super
men physically.
It should be a contest worth see
ing. provided you like the heavy
weights.
I'll take he little fellows for
mine. With them action and science
take the place of brute strength.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1923-05-17

1t has been decided that Daugh-
erty and Maud will do the pitching
for the Amboys in the two weekend
games but it is lot known which
ma will work on Saturday. Daugh-
erty showed real class against the
Bloomfelds last Sunday and with a
little batting behind him would have
turned in a victory. Maud also show
ed .r we'll against the Roya. Giants
the previous Sunday.
For Sundays game the Amboys
will have Gene Lidgate, former
Orange A. A. backstop and Jack Nc
Auliffe in the center pasture. Nc
Auliffe is another of the balltossers
who appeared on the Amusement

the weekend encounters.
The Richmonds who are to play
here a week from Sunday, are the
second of the big colored attrac-
tons to play on the local field dur

tions for the local diamond. Twi-

HORNSbY WILL
Do PITCHING
Scheduled to Occupy Mound
Against Long Island Team
on Sunday

Austin Bull Hornsby Will receive
the pitching assignment for the
Aquehonga baseball team against
the Libertys of Elmhurst, Long Is
land on the Tottenviile field this
Sunday afternoon. Gulowsen of HUI
guenot, Staten Island, will be avail
able for mound service if needed.
Last Sunday, Gulowsen was sched-
u1ed to start on the mound for the

local Y. M, C. A, volley team. The
tournament was I'VE on Saturday
night and it was impossible for the
Amboy pitcher to get back in time
for the contest. 1t was not played,
however, on account of wet grounds.
Hornsby will do most of the pitch
ing for the Tottenville representatives
this season according to the present
plans of Manager II. A. w. Kreis-
cher and Gulowsen will be used
in the twilight games which may
be started the first week in June.
Gulowsen has been the regular
pitcher for the Huguenot represent
alive team for several seasons.
In the coming encounter the Aque-
hongas will receive stiff opposition
as the Libertys have yet to meet de-
feat. The Tottenville balltossers in
their opening game handed a lacing
to the All Collegians of New York
City.
The Bloomfelds. Irvington Pros
and the Maurer nine, the latter
team of this city, have been given
dates on the Tottenville schedule.

LEAGUE CANES
ON TWO FIELDS
Maurer and Copper Fields
May be Used for Saturday
Games

Arrangements are being made at
the present time for the staging &C
the industrial baseball games sched-
ulel for every Saturday afternoon
on the Maurer and Raritan Copper
Works field instead Of the latter fed
only. as originally planned.
This change was made necessary
on account of the time the second
gam of the double header at the
Raritan Copper Works field last
Saturday afternoon was completed.
tn first contest went into ten in
nings and the second game had to
be called at the end of the seventh
session.
This Saturday the Raritan Copper

liant. Terra Gotta representatives.
and the American Smelling and
Refining Company outfit will engage
the New Jersey Terra Gotta Com

Shelters were successful in the
opening games last Saturday after
noon.
In staging Il game on the Cop
per Works field and the other on
the Maurer field the fans in the
other section of the town will be
given the opportunity of witnessing
the industrial teams in action with
out coming to the downtown field.
Many employees of the plants in the
outer State street section do 0 Quit
work until 8 o'clock each Saturday
afternoon and therefore cannot get
to the Copper Works field in time
for the opening game of a double
header. If the present plan is car
ried out the game on each field will
be started at 3:15..

By BILLY EVANS
NEA Staff Writer

Jess Willard is back. Luis Firpo
has arrived.
These two decisions stand tut as
the results of last Saturdays big
heavyweight contests at the Yankee
stadium in New York.
Willard. the so-called old man Of
the ring, proved that he Is a from
through. He temporarily shunted
into the discard the old adage that
youth must me served.
The aged Kansan took everything
that the youthful Iowan could offer,
and smiled. Then to show he still
retained the old-time punch, he sent
Johnson sprawling to the floor With
a right uppercut as the bell rang at
the end of the eleventh round.
Ffrpo Biggest Hit
1t was a clean-cut knockout. And
when the bell sounded for round IL,
Johnson was unable TO respond. Will
lard had come back!
Luis Firpo made perhaps the NEST
pronounced hit of the day. The
easy manner in which the Argentine
walloper disposed of the much tf ut
ed Jack McAuliffe of Detroit makes
Firpo loom up as a likely . 'ntender
for the heavyweight title.
Luis Firpo is the "Absymal Brute
of the late Jack London's ling fic-
ton. Firpo, the silent man of the
ring, who never seems to smile, who
knows fighting only as a serious
business, has yet to De put to a SER
ious test. Willard looms Just ahead.
While in New York recently. l
made a survey of the training camps
of Willard, Firpo, McAuiiffo and
Johnson. At the same time I had a
chance to see Johnson in action
against Fred Fulton.
Floyd Lacks Punch
l voiced the opinion then that
Willard and Firpo were far the most
impressive. The result Of the 'iini-
nation tourney has borne out that
opinion.
Floyd Johnson's showing in the
Fulton bout was a distinct disap-
pointment. He hit Fulton with
everything but the ceiling. But the
much plastered plasterer took .very-
thing johnson sent his way. He still
was fighting back at the end of the
twelfth and final round.
