The best idea would be to move all
of the ringside seats back for about
20 rows whenever Campolo fights. He
dropped once in the Andes when Monte
Mum. the University of Nebraska
alumnus. hit him on the chin. and thew
say that the casualties we're frightful
Move the spectators and innocent by
rows. AS for the reporters, let them
sit in their usual places. They are sup
posed to protect themselves at all times.
1t would be an easy matter to
make watching Campolo fall q safe
spectacle for the customers. Before
the next fight the city engineers and
architects could stand Campolo In
the ring and measure the angles of
q possible fall with their instruments.
They could even make allowances for
the possibility Of his coming apart
while falling. Then they could lay
down the lines for the f1rSt row Of
ringside seats.
CampoIo's efficacy. as far as 1t goes,
seems to lie in his reach. He can
stand in the center of the ring and tap
his antagonist from that point before
he gets out of the corner. II such q
thing were permitted and Campolo was
not too amiable to do 1t. The arms
are so long that they appear to be
skinny. and yet they are moderately
effective.
In the bout with Heeney Campolo did
not stop the softened-up Hard Rock
with one mighty blow. He dased him
with an accumulation OF punches. and
when Heeney was Keeling and practically
helpless he dropped him heavily with
q right uppercut to the chin. In this
blow the arm described an arc Of NIGH
ty proportions.
But all Of the time IT seemed easy
enough for Heeney to get in under
those arms that waved like the fans
of q gigantic Dutch windmill and to
reach up into the cloud and whale
Campolo on the head. One can see
how Monte Mum dropped the Tall
Tower. Monte Mum still has q
sitter punch than is left to Heeney.
Consequently. It does not seem that
Campolo is going to remain on his
foundations for any great length Of
time II he continues In the prize ring.
which undoubtedly he proposes to do.

Victims Of Tunney.
THIS obscure contest once more DEM

with them they were washed up as far
as future fighting was concerned.
Heeney, the ex-Hard Rock, after the
Tunney bout was what the boys have
been calling one of those hollow shells
ever since Jeffries appeared so hol-
low and shell.like at Reno
Tunney ruined all of them. once he
attained his full power. He discouraged
old Martin Burke. Harry Greb, Tom
Gibbons. the tough BARLEY Madden, and
even Mr.. Jack Dempsey. The accumu-
lated punishment administered by Tun-
ney did more permanent damage than
any that Dempsey ever administered
to any Of his opponents. When Mr.
Will Gibson was trying to arrange one
more match with Greb for Tunney,
Greb said, mot with him. Never
again"
Also, when Tunney was matched
with Dempsey for the heavyweight
championship Greb made quite
large bet on Tunney. Some Of the
wise ones, hearing Of this, said,
why do you do this? You should
know that he Is rotten fighter"
Yes" agreed Mr.. Greb. He may
be q rotten fighter. but can you
name anybody who beats him?"
II the Hard Rock had anything near
the durability that he possessed before
he was made the victim for Ttmneys
last appearance in the prize ring, ne
