 "She was my friend, sir" says the old man, with tears filling his sight less eyes.
 "She loved me and l her, Such love can never die.

BLIND MANS DOG

By ROY J. GIBBONS

Chicago, July 6.-There is q diff ferent paint in the strangely wild music that blind old Frank Ritter now is playing through the busy march of Chicago streets.
 Cant you hear it, sir?" he asks. His long black hair is flying 10 the wind and his sightless eyes are staring fiXedly ahead The wall Of his violin throbs for a moment and then is lost against the tumult of the Loop district.

 "Poor poco. She died for me, sir, died for mo. But her soul lives and she watches over me in death just as she faithfully watched in lifo.'
 For many years blind Ritter and his little white dog were familiar sights 10 all Chicago
 Pocahontas was the dogs name. She lent to her master her own good eyes for his which were dead.
 Each day at the appointed hour she led him on a tether 10 certain stands where the old man played for the crowds.
 Pocahontas never missed. And she could tell time, count add and multiply,
 Ritter used to speak soft words to her, At the sound of his voice "Poco" would wag her tail and yelp with glee.
 Across perilous streets she led him, always waiting first for the green lights in inc traffic soma phores to flash telling that danger had passed,

 The two shared together a tiny room in a dark alleyway,
 It was all that the pennies that Ritter earned could buy.
 But it satisfied "FoCo," who loved much and was loved much in turn.
 For many, many years the two lived happily. Somehow "Poco" seemed to understand and made up for the loss of the old mans eyes.
 Then came the day of tragedy. Pocahontas was at the intersection of four busy streets. The traffic lights blazcd green. She started from the sidewalk with Ritter trust irgly following.

LOWE IS EAGER

ON TRACK
Has Won Full Share of Rae
ing Honors Upon
Cinder Path

Douglas G. A. Lowe, the leader Of
the Oxford Cambridge team that de-
feated Princeton and Cornell in de-
cisive fashion at Atlantic City is
about ready TO cease his activities
on the cinder path. He has won his
full share of the foot racing honors
and is ready to hang up his shoes
and devote himself whole heartedly
to more serious pursuits.
The Cambridge president has de-
clared very positively, since he
reached this country on July 4, that
he would not do any more running
after the second and final engage
ment of the invading oxford Cam
bridge aggregation against Prince
ton and Cornell. The OlyrIpia 500
meter champion has received invi-
tations to race at various points
in sthe United States but has de-
clined them all.
Athletic followers are not ready
TO believe that Lowe is lost to the
cinder path, however. 1t is felt
here that though the dashing Dark
Blue may have every intention of
quitting competition right now, he
will reconsider later on-possibly
when Britain needs him TO round
out her team for the Amsterdam
Olympics, three years hence.
Lowe won the 800-meter Honor for
his country at Paris last summer

seen during the Olympic week. The

Pancho Villas death will be
charged to boxing. 1t might be
charged to failure Of the California
Boxing Commission to do its full
duty. Villa was not in condition to
fight. He had been Ill for at least
two days with abscessed teeth. His
neck was swollen and his jaws
stiffened, His manager, Frank
Churchill. knew 1t. The commits.
siOn's examining physician should
have known it.
But despite his illness, the game
little champion insisted upon box
ing. Perhaps that peculiar twist
in human psychology which breeds
fear of ridicule rather than fear
Of consequences forced Villa into
the ring. He fought and was
beaten. Now his inanimate clay
is being carried to his native
heath.
Before the opening gong rang,
Frank Churchill issued a statement
to the press which said in part:
Thursday night the right side
of his (Villa's) face began to swell
and he never slept a wink all night.
When a doctor was called he or
dered hot applications but it Villa s
face) continued to swell. His Jaws
stiffened and 1t was impossible for
him to take any nourishment but
liquids.
80" The physician decided
it would be impossible for Pancho
to fight, and the only chance was
TO cut the gums and extract the wis
dom teeth which had caused the
trouble. This was DONE"
The statement went on to say
that Villa was not half himself
but that he would go ON with the
battle.
What high order Of intelligence
allowed manager to send a fighter
into the ring under those conditions
What equally high order of intelli.
gence allowed a physician to permit
him to fight?
Villa died in action. Perhaps
some of the worl6 will say he died
a victim of his own fanatical zeal
TO go through with an engagement
and save a fight promoter from
financial loss. Perhaps that same
,rateful fight promoter will provide
for Villas orphan son.
Such a tragedy never could hap
pen in New York. The New York
state Boxing Commission may let
Dempsey give 1t the joyous run
around, hut it never would permit
a man physically unfit to enter the
arena.

The writer, however, can think
of a remedy. Let Tex Richard
promote the bout at the Yankee
stadium and the line would form on
the right, center and left. Right
now, New York or any other town
would fall for Dempsey against a
confederate war veteran because
public curiosity is on mental tiptoe
concerning what effect, if any, the
champions two-year layoff has had
on his ability.
There are, of course. only two
men who can be figured to make
Dempsey step at his best, Harry
Wills and Gene Tunney. But he
has declined to play with either
of them this year and the next best
bet undoubtedly is Greb, a real
champion even If he is only a
middleweight.
They were satisfied to let
KetcheI, a great middleweight, go
against Jack johnson. 1t was
the best match available at the
time and, under the circuDs-
stances, the same thing applies
to the Greb-D Dempsey match now.
The public wants Dempsey to
fight this year. He has barred
Wills and Tunney for the time be-
ing. The answer, therefore, is
simple. Let him step out with a
tough, fast and smart boxer, who
has held two titles in his time,
rather than with some second-class
heaS weight who would be in
there only to take a beating and
his share of the gate.
BARLEY Madden? He is one of
the greatest ''catchers'' since th-
days of Johnny King. That bout
would be shambles, for BARLEY
lacks everything Greb has and
packs no harder punch than the
lmiddleweight. Jack himself? lie
seems to be passe and was never
too good at his best. George
Godfrey? He worked in the cham
pion's camp at Great Falls, Mont,
and suffers from an inferiority
complex.
These are some of the candidates
voted down in favor of Greb by
Chicago sport writer's. The latter
were right. If we must have
Dempsey this year, let him go with
man who may outpoint him.
even if he doesn't stand one chance
of a hundred of scoring a knock
| out.
The Washington times., 1925-07-27

A third said: IT think Greb
could have licked any man of his
weight except Jack Dempsey, the
original "Nonpareil"; Tommy
Ryan and Bob Fitzsimmons."
! The argument went on and on
the longer it lasted the stronger
the Greb men became.
One old-timer who had watched
them from Dempsey's day said;
Dempsey would have beaten Greb
because he was clever, a better
hitter and knew more about the
game. He was master of ring
craft, and when Jim Corbett tells
you that he (Corbett) stole every
thing he had from Dempsey, you
can believe me he was telling the
truth.
Tommy Ryan would have given
Greb Hail Columbia too. Ryan
was exceedingly smart as a
fighter. He had stamina, the
punch and plenty of tricks"
"Fitzsimmons, with his great
punch, stamina and reach, would
have beaten Greb. He could hit
too hard for the Pittsburgher. OF
course, Fitz wasn't a middleweight
very long, but while he could
make that weight he'd have given
Greb his workout"
