NOTHING
Macon Ring Wonder Merely
p Wanted Chance to Show
His Classy Stuff

The amazing success of Young
Stribling. opponent of Jack Stone at
the Auditorium June 4, Is easy to
understand when the facts Of his
remarkable career are brought out
when it Is learned that, his first
three professional bouts were for
nothing but the chance, to get a
start.
Walk Miller, manager Of Tiger
Flowers and a former Atlanta pro.
moter, was. the man who gave the
Kid his opportunity to show what
he could do in a professional arena.
q Up until that night in September,
1921, that the sleek, handsome
youngster, his nerves all squiver,
jumped into the Auditorium ring
in Atlanta to make. good" pitted
against Kid Fomb, the city's news
boy champion, nobody had ever
heard of Young Stribling, that Is,
nobody in Atlanta.
But SO clever did he prove to be,
and such a great Snowman, that
Promoter Miller paid his expenses,
and those of his father from his
home, Macon, and return.
Then, a few weeks later, he was
brought on for another "shot
purse the same. Tim O'Dowd, who
was later to become one of the
finest featherweights In the South,
was just beginning, after an impress
sive year or more in Atlanta gym
nasiums. 1t took just one round for
the Macon youth to put the skids
to Timothy.
So popular had he become with
Atlanta fans and with Georgia peo-
pie in general. that, for his third
bout in Atlanta, Macon fans poured
into the capital city, to see what
he could do with Kid Maple,
vetean of the game, and a stout
hitter; who was doing a come

Stribling showed his class by
Nappie with groves,
him into a pulp in four
rounds, the latter's ruggedness saw

The Striblings stiIl received moth,

Atlanta.
But those three bouts gave the
his start to padded nlitt
fame, and the luscious purses he
has pulled down in the past four
years show that his early efforts
were well directed.

can Champion

BALTIMORE May 20. Kid
Williams and frankie Genaro will
fight June f26 in a twelve.round
battle at Carlin's., Harry Ertle, who
worked here in the Villa-Schwartz
bout, will referee,
Although Williams has been
fighting in the featherweight divi-
sion in the last few engagements,
this battle will be at the bantam
weight limit t.--11S pounds at 2
o'clock.
Genaro is the American fly
weight champion and has twice
defeated Pancho Villa, the world
titleholder, in the 112-pound class.
Villa fought Benny Schwartz at
the Fifth Regiment in a fifteen
round fight for the world title two
seasons ago, but the American
champ has never shown in Balti-
more. s-
The appearance of Harry Ertle
in the ring will be an added at
traction, as the referee has an in.
ternational reputation. He was the
third man in the ring when Demp5
sey and Carpenter fought at
Boyle's Thirty Acres and was the
cause of long discussion ON the
selection of the man TO enforce
the Marquis of Queensberry rules
i'm that world title fight
Genaro, while a flyweight, has
fought some of the best Of the
ha1tams and has twelve-round
decision over Carl Tremaine and
over Phil Rosenberg, the presenN
champion. In 1922 he won from
Villa in ten rounds. and the. next
year beat the Iittlei brown skinned
warrior in fifteen sessions. Out of
fifty fights he hSS scored five
knockouts, won thirty-two, with
three draws. eight no-decisions and
two defeats.

Bouts Should Draw.

Bouts Should Draw.
CTAGING the South Atlantic A.
, A. u. boxing championships
at Washington Barracks is an ex-
pertinent promising to be most
successful.
.Washingtonians like boxing,
whether amateur or professional.
Indeed in some ways much of the
professional game offered around
here for several years has savored
of the amateur stuff. That is,
raw, green beginners have strut
ted their stuff, and the average
amateur is a raw, green boxer.
Washingtonians, if permitted
opportunity, would gladly vote for
q commission to govern boxing
in the District. They want the
boxing, make no mistake about
that. That they are prevented
from enjoying the game as many
other citizens around the country
do is, according to the latest in
formation, on account of a law
passed by Congress more than
fifty years ago.
Prize fighting died out in this
country with the John L. Sulli-
van-Jake Kilrain battle. When
the Marquis of Queensberry rules
were adopted, scientific boxing
was born. When various State
commissions assumed control of
the game, the sport was raised
even higher, until today women
do. not lose caste by attending
ring shows and it is quite the
thing for men who would consider
themselves t"in the know"
Amateur boxing differs from
professional largely in the class
of. the performers. Personally,
this writer doesn't enjoy the anna
tear stuff much. The bows are
not sufficiently skilled in the
game. When under punishment,
/ they don't know how to protect
themselves. When winning they
i, frequently lose all control of
themselves.
However, there is never any
/. "side agreement" in amateur box
, ing. There is mighty little these
! days in the professional game,
either, for that matter. Suspen-
; slons and fines are too frequent.
The amateurs sure do fight
from bell to bell-or get out of
the ring. That is the big reason
why the A. A. u. bouts next week
at the barracks should draw ca
racitY crowds.

bad, or something like that. They
don't figure the breaks. A. pitcher
may put a ball right where ne

was fair by about two inches.
That's a break. Nine times out or
