LOUGHRAN LACKING
AS HEAVY TIMBER
Battle With Walker Leads to
Belief He'll Lose His
Light-Heayy Crown.
BY FAIR PLAY.

- HICAGO, March 30.-Tommy
Loughran's reign as king of the
light heavyweights is sorely
~ threatened by several OF the
younger crop of fighters now
bidding for a crack at his crown.
AS boxer Loughran stands out like
lighthouse in a stormy sea. AS a
fighter, the Philadelphia leaves much
to be desired.
Judging Loughran and what he
showed against Mickey Walker, the
opinion persists that he is not to reign
as king of his class longer than he will
be permitted by the governing boards
of boxing.
Loughran's chances among the heavy
weights are matter Of extreme doubt
and reflection. Against big, slow-mov-
ing men Tommy might be able to stand
of and cut them to pieces. but woe
betide him If a healthy wallop lands
on a vital sept. If little Walker can
make Tommy's head swim and cause
him to hold on tight until he gets his
bearings, then what will he do when
big fellow hits himi
In gaining the decision over Walker,
Loughran has not enhanced his chances
as potential champion of the heavy
weights. During the past year Lough-
rams success promised much. Playing
around the lighter title has hurt his
chances of success because his growing
years have added solid flesh to his
frame and in reducing to retain his
l75-pound title he impaired his other
wise healthy condition. Building up
Loughran has done during the past
year added heft to his punch. The
strain, mental and physical, has taken
its toll, and Loughran is In a bad fix.
Tuffy Griffith showed a decidedly
superior brand of milling in winning
over Leo Lomski James j. Braddock
has knockout to his credit over Grit
fifth. James also scored knockdown
over Lomski. Griffith undoubtedly will
get the return match he is seeking
with Braddock and the winner can
be tagged as the next light heavyweight

LOUGHRAN NOW TO SEEK
FAME AS HEAVYWEIGHT
BY TOMMY LOUGHRAN,


Light Heavyweight Champion Of the World
1t seems to me that in repulSing
the vicious attack of Mickey Walker
on my light-heavyweight champion
ship / cleaned up my division well
enough to be let go unhampered in
my quest of heavyweight h0nors for
the next few months.
They've given me every type of
boxer TO meet; and since this was
my thirty-sixth straight win, there
isn't much argument about my right
to 20 against any one, think.
There also isn't any doubt in my
mind concerning the fact that can
do more effective work at a higher
pOundage.
There is one thing know-getting
down to weight was an arduous task.
I didn't realize how fast was grow
ing into a heavyweight. 1t was a
job to come in under the limit Of
my class, and left something in
the gymnasium. / wasn't as strong
as / have been while fighting the
bigger fellows, not by long shot.

where had clear shot at Greb's
stomach. I put everything / had into
a right hand and 1t seemed to me I
had driven my glove on through to
his spine. I don't think ever landed
a harder punch, for he was coming in
at the time I swung. I saw his eye
balls roll and his mouth popped wide
open. I thought sure he had to drop.
I didn't believe he could keep his feet
after that smack But before knew
what had happened he was all over
me like wild man, trying to knock
the top of my head off. He was un-
doubtedly badly hurt-he admitted that
later-but he would never let me see il"
Tunney's Tribute to Dempsey.
ANY, HY was it that you didn't.
M go after Dempsey harder
w in the fourth round at
Chicago?" Tunney was asked later on.
"You had him groggy and good right
uppercut might have stopped him and
saved that knockdown you took later
on"
az know he was groggy," said
Tunney, land I saw the opening.
But don't believe anybody knows
how quickly Dempsey can recover
when he is almost out. He can be
completely grOggy one second and
snap back quickly enough to muir
der you two seconds later.
IF I had tried that right uppercut
and missed, I would have been wide
open for Dempsey's left hook to the
Jaw, and I might have gotten knocked
down myself. He was one fellow you
could never take any chances with
he recovered too quickly, and when he
recovered ne could hit too hard"
Which Is possibly one reason why a
wounded lion is held to be more dam
gerous than one unwounded. Just a
little carelessnesS means trouble.
r EO DEIGEL thinks the same thing
about Hagen. "That fellow"
IL says Leo, 'is the marvel Of them
all to me. Just when you think he is
completely, wrecked, out of the play all
together, back of a tree or lost in the
bushes, he comes along with birdie
and wins the hole. / used to think it
was luck. But he has done that to me
so often that any time see him In an
unplayable lie feel have to get q
birdie in order to get half When
Hagen's in trouble the time has arrived
to look out for fireworks"

Golfers have had it drummed into
them that they must hit through the
ball from the inside in order to get
a true shot. In other words, the

from inside the line you wish to
drive it..
To accomplish this desideratum,
much attention must be given the

No one could rank Bob Fftzsinmons

At the time he was able to make
100 he came near annihilating Gene
Tunney and Tom Gibbons.
They were no set-ups. Greb won
something like 400 fights. 1t was only
after one eye went completely bad and
the other started failing that he began
to slip. In his prime there wasn't any
heavyweight who wanted to pc IN the
same county or State with him. He
hit both Tunney and Gibbons seven
times without taking a counter, and
that Is pretty, fair evidence as to now
fast his two fists could work when ne
was in d hurry to annoy some one.
Greb was as fast as a streak, un-
usually strong, game to the last ounce,
hard to work and always on the jump
to mix it. He never bothered lot
about fouls, but, as he was usually
fighting bigger men, this gave him
chance to get away with stuff that was
never written into the code.

Nv ALVIN r. BELL

by ALF1N T. DELL
On the glad Easter day the spirit
ual eyes Of all thoughtful Christian
folk turn instantly toward that
open, empty tomb in the garden Of
Joseph Of Arimatheat, and their
souls rejoice at the angels message,
Why seek We the living among the
dead? He is not here, but is risen"
The time references in the Cos
pei accounts Of the resurrection
story are indicative of the spiritual
condition within the souls of our
Lords first disciples: LAS it began
to dawn" Very early in the morn
ing" cat the rising Of the sum-"
Early, when it. was yet dark" Thus
do the four evangelistS mark the
time of that sadp recession Of de-
vout women as they came to the
tomb with their spices to embalm
a dead Christ. This darkness, how
ever, was not SO deep or as oppres-
sive as the inner darkness of de-
spair within their own souls. Their
spices spoke Of unfailing love, but
they spoke also of the utter failure
Of their faith and their hope. But
this twilight which engulfed the Cos
pei was son to be turned into radi-
ant morn with the angelic, He IS
risen, as he said. Come see the place
where the Lord lay" This was the
rising of the sun" on their spiritual
horizon. Thus the gospel emerged
from dark despair into the radi-
ance of the first Lords day as
life and Immortality were brought
to light through the gospel"
The Rebirth of Faith and Hope.
How dead the disciples faith was
may be inferred from the fact that
even when the women brought them
word Of the empty tomb, the angels
message and the claim OF having
met the risen Lord himself, These
words appeared in their sight as idle
talk; and they disbelieved them" So
one of the best proofs of the reSur-
rection of the Lord Jesus is the res
direction of the faith and hope of
his disciples. One by one from Pc
ter to Thomas they we're absolutely
convinced that their Lord who was
crucified, dead and buried, had risen
from the dead on the third day as
he said he would. Their testimony
to this fact is the more credible be-
cause they did not expect 1t, at first
would not believe it. and had to
be convinced by indisputable proofs
to which they insisted upon being
eye witnesses.
Immortality Brought to Light.
The question IF a man die shall
he live again?" has troubled human
ity from Jobs time down through
the ages. The resurrection of Christ
is the buoyant answer to that ques-
ton. Before Christopher Columbus
voyage into the mysteries Of the
