SPALLA MAKES HIT
IN LOSING SCRAPS
BY FAIR PLAY.

NEW YORK. July 5.-For a man
who was pretty thoroughly pecked to
pieces by sta bling blows Ermino
Spalla has retained a lot of respect
from managers. promoters and fans.
What they like most about the big
Italian is the way he absorbed all
that Tunney sent into him and want
ed more. 1t was merely the shutting
off his vision that finally led the ref
cree to call 1t a day.
The writer predicted after the fight
that Spalla would get plenty of work
from now on. And he will. Who
do you think th"v are going TO bring
out as his next opponent? Fred
Fulton, no less.
Fred has been working quietly in
the minor league and feels the time
has come when he can startIe the
metropolitan district. Promoters are
always ready to take one more chance
on Fred, and so the fans may look
forward with some interest to this
battle.
BARLEY Madden and Jack Renault
in the semi-final of the Wills -Ffrpo
battle the latter part of August

Here is fight that ought to be
good. if not better, than the main
affair of the evening.
Renault will surely paste Madden
good and plenty, but Madden will
play his old role of shock absorber.
and since Renault is not too hard
to hit will probably do some socking
on his own account.

Telling OF the entry of the brothers
into base ball. Bob, who. has two
other brothers besides Emil, known
to the fans as Irish said.
Many folks have asked me where
my Oldest brother got the nickname
Irish. 1t was given him in Philadel-
phia, when he was a member of the
Phillies. The bleacherites thought
he looked like an Irishman and told
him so with much loudness on many
occasions. The trick label has stuck
to him ever since.
My father wanted us all to be
base ball players. 1t was the loftiest
ambition he had for his offspring. He
brought home bats and balls and
encouraged us to play. On Sunday
afternoons he woulc take the four
of us to the Los Angeles ball park
to see the Angels play.

attending the Los Angeles high
school. Irish played on the school

The answer is that the orchid man
Is simply not sociable. He is polite

in this country might be compared to
the regard which one of Harry

hold for the plodding nag that draws

Retains Business Ability.
Carpenter is by no means the
fighter he was three years ago, but
when it comes to business the well
known French firm is still there. On
good authority the writer gets it
that Carp is dragging down $4,000
fish for this encounter.
In view of the runaway sort of
fight Georges pulled against Gibbons,
will he be worth anything like the
ney? The writer thinks he will. He
was afraid of st. Paul Tommy. OF
this there is not the slightest doubt.
And if Gibbons had not been afraid
of the law, or at least of hurting the
boxing game out west-fghters have
to think of these things nowadays
he could have named the round he
was to put the Frenchman asleep.
not be afraid. This difference in at
titude itself will mean a whole lot
in the fighting form of the French
man. He honestly thinks he can beat
his head that he could whip Gibbons.
Gibson Takes Credit.
Billy Gibson says that maybe Car
pentier would have had q chance to
beat Tunney as he was before he
came under the control Of the self-same
Gibson. Billy says he has handled
Gene Just as he did Benny Leonard.
Benny was known as the powder puff''
champ when he first began fighting
for Gibson, but he soon exchanged
this title for that of the worlds
champion. Tunney, says Gibson, has
come along in the same way. He is
great fighter now, Billy affirms. AS
evidence OF this he points to his show
ing against Spalla.
Well, 1t was q good showing, but
not SO impressive when 1t is pointed
out that Spalla for a long time was
Tunney's sparring partner down At
Red Bank and that Gene knew ali

Outside of Harry Greb, Carpenter

COLLEGIATE REGATTA

In all talk that one hears among
rowing men concerning the transfer
of the Poughkeepsie regatta to Lake

Conditions are now such that suf-

and then brought to it's old prestige
this race should be transferred to some
