DAILY has consented to be the first

Il am a close personal friend of
Blackburnes and I want to get a crack
at this much Self-advertiSed tough boy

application for the match to Promoter
Jim Mullen. His attack on Blackburne,
a man much older than himself who
can't fight, was the work of a coward.
I'll prove that Shires does most of his
fighting orally, and give. Blackburne
some revenge"
Shires, meanwhile, is working out

form is far from that of a polished
boxer but he possesses a haymaKer

committee will draw up a strong set CT
rules and recognize the winner of the

would wrestle on their merits and as
consequence the title would change

There are a number of States in
which wrestling is conducted, but not
under the supervision Of an athletic
commission believe that most of
these States would follow along the
same lines that we would outline, and
it will be only short time until our or
ganization and its decisions would be
recognized as authoritative.
Under this plan no wrestler could
say he would be Disseminated against
because of his ability. If upon filing
challenge with the championship COM
mittee and winning over one or two
men listed as logical contenders he
would then be permitted to meet the
champion. In this way many of the
evils connected with titles in the wres-
ting game would be eradicated and the
fans would be assured of contests be-

When you come to a wall that has
no gate there are three moves left
smash through climb over - walk
around. But don't turn back.
To quit in the face of a tough break
is to miss the chance to ride forward
with the turning tide.
1t is the contrast of ups and downs
IN any game that makes it interesting.
The entry who discoversh can tai
it and still come back is pretty We'll set.
A blind mans second sight is as good
as the fellow who uses field glass.
The debater who gets excited in an
argument rarely has the facts to back
up his play.
about something should practice run
ming backwards, since that is the direc-
ton he is headed for.
The Next Dempsey.
Back before the war there were three
heavyweight parties holding most of the
limelight. They were Jess Willard, the
champion. Fred Fulton, the plasterer.
and Bill Brennan, who had just won 40
fights in row, most of them by knock
outs.
Then young unknown by the name
of Jack Dempsey came along. He was
matched with Brennan as the last step
before Brennan met Fulton to decide
the name of the challenger who would
face Willard.
I'D like to carry you, Jack" Bren-
nan said before this fight. But can't
with a shot at Willard waiting"
Dempsey knocked him down with the
first punch and knocked him out in a
few rounds, the last fall being hard
enough to break Brennan's leg. After
that Dempsey had Fulton unconscious
on the floor at the end of 18 seconds.
This generation won't see another
Dempsey come along. Probably the
next one won't But it may see a
young, fast, hard-hitting, aggressive
youngster who will take over the spot
light within the next year and scatter
most of the debris now hanging around.
His name may be Fay, or it may be
some one else.
But whoever he is. no coming chal-
lenger was ever in better spot.
A young man by the name of Won
Porat might put some action into the

will soon have his chance, and once
again, he couldn't pick a better spot.

all the trouble even the best teams can

been the best defensive man on the
field and none of the three can show
many better backs than Wood, Mays

the best passer on the field, regardless
of the team he met from any one of

Golfers Association championship
went into their second round of match
play.
The superb drives and puts of Craig
Wood, youthful Long Island N. Y, pro-
feSsional turned the trick of eliminat-
ing one of the favorites in the first
round of match play yesterday, replete
with outstanding performances.
Leo Diegel. defending champion,
turned in a sparkling 81 for his morn
ing 10, new competitive course record
and a good start on an advantage
which enabled him to GUST P. o. Hart,
Wheeling, w. Va, 10 and 8.
No less outstanding was the rousing
comeback of Walter Hagen. Apparently
unmindful of the troublesome qualify
ing round Monday which saw him
stumble almost into elimination, the
FIVE time winner of the P. G. A. event
ended his match with Bob Shave of
Aurora, Ohio, on the twenty-eighth
green 8 and 8. Just to prove that the
course, which saw him medal 149 on
opening day, held no power over him,
the great "Ha!g" played the f1rst ID IN
under par, Sc.
Wood Win Upset.
But it was Woods victory over Smith
which supplied the greatest upset in a
duel which went to the thirty
green before a birdie three forced the
Joplin. Mo, professional into defeat.
Among the chosen Is, of whom
face elimination today. was Fred Nor
rison, medaliSt, the Los Angeles pro-
fessional fought an uphill battle be-
fore winning and 4 from Joe Kirk

phia. A former open champion, Gene

in Morrison's path today.
BY strange coincidence Hagen, Bill
Mehlhorn, New York, and Henry Cuict,
Mill River, Conn, the trio which was
forced into twilight series to earn the
right to enter yesterdays play-an sur
vived their matches.
Diegel will meet Herman Barron,

big time golf. while Hagen is confronted
by Charlie Guest. Los Angeles profess

over their opponents.
Task for Espinosa.
Al Espinosa, Chicagoan, whom Diegel,
defeated in the final bracket at Balti-
more a year ago, must subdue Wild
Bill" Mehlhorn to continue in the
race. Wood, flushed with the Smith
Victory, can count on Neil Christian,
Portland, Ore, professional, to give
him another tough round. The North

ant cards yesterday by eliminating
Frank Walsh, Chicago, 6 and 5.
