mailman TOO MUCH
FOR THREE BOXERS

Bill Demetral, heavyweight wrestler,
recently gave convincing demonstra-
ton at Tampa, Fla, Of his contention
that boxers have no chance against
meek twisters."
In less than IS minutes he met three
boxers and fiattened them on the can
vas after surviving all the technique OF
the prize-fight ring they employed IN q
vain effort to knock him out.
The wrestler agreed to 60 six rounds
of four minutes with each Of the three
boxers, using his own technique while
the boxer used his. He posted forfeit
of 81 900 against failing to make good,
agreed to surrender his share of. the
purse to any of the jabbing trio who
downed him for keeps, and then walked
home with all the money.
Mike Firpo, chunky inhghter, first
opposed the wrestler and was hoored in
SIS seconds. He got in just one wallop
to Demetrals eye before the wrestler
had him pinned.
Andreas Castano, formerly wrestler
himself, then attacked Demetral. sur
viving almost two complete rounds.
Crackerjack Webb knocked the winded
wrestler to the canvas six times In two
rounds, but went the way Of his prede-
cessors when once Demetral got hand
hold.
Bob Fitzsimmons, former heavyweight
champion, once took on Jack Palmer,
English wrestler, and fell before him in
less than two minutes.

HIGGINS PLANNING
TO REBUILD YANKS
Number of Veterans Likely to
Be Gone When 1890
Roll Is Called.
BY JAY VESSELS.
Associated Press Sports Writer.


HERE are dozen clubs In the
major leagues who would be
happy with rating Of around
Il .620 for the season.
One Of the few who wouldn't
is Philadelphia, whose endurance flight
parallels that of the great Yankee
machines of the last few years. An
other is the Yankees.
Here is the paradox of q club play
ing at gait sufficient to win pennants
in 9 years out Of 10. All that is
threatened with a scorching shakeup at
the end of the season.
The reason Is that the world cham
pionS are running second and have
only slight hopes OF lettering that po-
sition.
Weaknesses that handcuff other ball
clubs don't go at the Yankee stadium,
flown in the past eight years It's q
case of a winner or nothing 1t seems.
So Manager Higgins already has
limited of some Of the changes to come.
Such old stars as Meusel, Koenig, Hoyt,
Grabowski, Bengough and Pennock
probably will go, following Joe Dugan,
Pat Collins and Mike Gazella. who left
last Winter. Even Earl Combs Is not
assured of his center-field berth and
leadof position. That's how Higgins
feels about the Yankee slump"
Judging from his comment last sea-
son, Col Jake Ruppert's first lieutenant
anticipated the change. When the
Yankees were 13 games ahead Of the
field last year. it was suggested that
Higgins might have to break up his
club to give the others chance. Hug"
reckoned that wouldn't be necessary. 1t

GARDENS GESTURE
WARNS MANAGERS
Carey Proving to Prominent
Figures in Fighting He
Means Business.
BY SPARROW McGANN,

n YEw YORK, August 26.-The
nj matching Of Tommy Loughran
VI and Jack Sharkey for the blue
L ribbon fight classic Of the year
Is an excellent gesture on the
part OF directors of Madison Square
Garden.
1t will serve as signal to prominent
fighters and promoters that they can't
do all the debating. BY throwing the
this way the Garden may lose several
hundred thousands of dollars. but Bill
Carey Is satisfied to take the loss If
only to prove to the prima donnas that
he means just what he says.
There has been lot of talk about
Sharkey-Loughran battle. and 1t has
not been complimentary. Neither Tommy
nor Jack possesses the punch fans ex-
pect in big fellows. The thought of
sitting through Is rounds of a fstic
Fencing match isn't too exciting.
Expects Real Fighting.
But the idea that Loughran Is going
to be content to step away and box his
way to a decision Is not shared by the
writer. Knowing the bitterness between
the men, the indications are that they
may throw science to the winds and do
some real fighting.
This might seem laughable. So far
Sharkey has been mauled about in his
bouts, with his only decisive victories
accomplished by rough looks and harsh
words. Loughran has few knockouts
chalked up on his record, but those who
nave seen him in tight places know
that ne can punch his way out. AS q
result there may be a smuggling match.
In talking over the bout. Tommy
gave an 1nkling Of his plan of battle.
Sharkey is not the smart boxer
people think he is" Tommy declared.
Jack can be made to fight the way
MS opponent wants him to. I watched
MIN in the fight with Mike McTieue
ano saw him make many mistakes. It
was q lucky blow that slipped Mikes
shoulder and broke the bridge work of
his mouth or the decision would have
gone against Sharkey. Mikes left was
continually In Sharkey's face, and he
mad him of his balance all the time.
II McI1gue can do that, I'm sure I can,
And those who think I can't punch
will be in for surprise"
Idleness Hasn't Helped Sharkey.
This is good line of argument.
Tommy had two jousts with McTieue
ano oested MIN. One was a no-decision
aHalr IN 1928. and 1t stands to reason
that Mike was a better fighter then
than now.
Sharkey's idleness has not been the
best thing in the world for him. Jack
was far better when he was fighting
often for small purses. Even the tonic
OF possible world crown doesn't arouse
JACK to fighting fury. Dempsey seems
to have taken the wind out OF him.
Sharkey showed that against Young
Stribling.
Had Sharkey fought Stribling at any,
where near the notch he was expected
to make. he could be an odd-on choice
over the ruler of the 175-pound class.
AS It Is, Jack will be lucky If he is not
on the short end Of the betting. He
tl mat ne will be in better shape
than he was for Stribling. He is NON,
IN training. Loughran does not expect
10 swing into action before Labor day.
He expects two weeks to put him into
shape for the Bostonian

LACK OF PUNCHERS
IS HURTING BOXING
BY JOHN J. ROMANO.

The biggest and smallest brothers in
boxing, the heavyweight and fiyweizht
class have one thing in common, and
that is the punch.
Without It the champions Of those d.
visions have a hard time trying to get
the fans to pay them real money to dis
play their wares. The passing Of Jack
Dempsey and his punch saw the passing
OF Million dollar purses and the passing
of punches.
Pancho Villas going set the flyweight
class back so that little is heard about
the mites of the ring.
Take the case of Corpl 1zzy Schwartz,
recognized flyweight champion in. the
State. Icy took the title by virtue of
win over Newsboy Brown. The pair
had secondary position on the card
and boxed the semi-final contest to o
pair Of lightweights with no direct bear.
ing on the title in that class.
Thursday evening Icy went to New
ark, N. j., and battled Willie La Morte
Is rounds. Icy came out second in a
bad decision, but that was not the worst
of 1t. To add to Izzy's bitterness the
gate reached the munihcent total Of
$6.758.
Schwartz may make some money out
of his trick title yet. He Is matched to
fight Gene Huat, the little-heard-of
Frenchman until the latter bounced
Spider Pladner around the ring in Paris
and scored something like IS knock
downs. Huat Is being brought over by
Gus Wilson and the scrap will be staged
at Madison Square Garden on &C.
tober 3.
Huat, the puncher. may revive inter-
est in the class that boosted Jimmy
Wilde. Pancho Villa and Johnny Buff.
