DID PADDY MULLINS ERR?

While most of the writer's are riding
Wills, some are placing the blame for
Wills seeming swing on the down
ward path to the dumb management o.
Paddy Mullins, his manager Mullins
knew the stuff of which Madden was
made. He also knew that it was pos
sible for him to have secured easier
fights for Wills until such time as that
Individual had become acclimated, as
1t were. Mullins, all along the line.
has been the subject for severe criti-
cism. Wills has been patiently wait
ing" for more than four years for
chance to meet Dempsey. He has been
cast aside and seen men like Carpen-
tier, Firpo come from across the pond
and then depart, for their native
homes after being beaten, with nice
sized fortunes tucked away in their
money belts.
Those interested in Wills believe
that had the Panther" fought his way
through all corners, or consistently
trailed Dempsey and his manager,
Jack Kearns public opinion, voiced
through the newspapers, woud have
caused a showdown ong before this.
Either Wills would have been
the worlds champion or ne
he would have been given the op
portunity to prove that he was not
champ. Now. Wills has passed his
prime, and it is question whether,
even If he fights Dempsey, what he
will be able to accomplish.

FACTS IN THE CASE.

Now here are the facts in the case:
az The Madden fight was Wills flrse
bout in nine months. GU Wills manu.
injured in January, has not yet recov-
cred it's full strength and he was WORK
ing with an idea to protect TINS
mitt as much as possible. CD Madden
is one of the toughest Irishmen in the
fight game and some question OF MS
hardness of head can be perceived
when it is a recognized fact that ne has
never been knocked off his feet, much
less knocked out. ca Madden If re-
ports are true, was greatly aided by
the referee. 1t is said that Madden
went into the ring to stay 15-rounos'
Wills. whose fighting tactics nave
been the subject of much discussion
was breaking clean as a whistle yet ne
continually heard in his ears, the warn
ing sound of the referees words as he
said fight clean Wills Madden on the
the other handJ hung on and hung on
and despite Wills plea to the referee
these tactics prevailed throughout the
fight. Wills in a statement after the
fight, said the only target he had 10
shoot at was Madden's hard head anu
he took no chances with that.
