Wills Battle With Tunney
Never Did Come Off

Sometimes, though, fate behaves very
handsomely in dealing with all parties
concerned. High up in this sorting Of
fights which never came off there can
be mentioned the Sharkey- Campolo af-
fair, which was scheduled for Yankee
stadium. Just as the woefully small
crowd was vending its way into the
arena, the skies wept in sympathy
with the promoters who were about to
lose a small fortune. So the thing was
called off forever.
There also was the time when Gen.
tleman Gene Tunney was supposed to
meet Stevedore Harry Wills. A con-
siderable portion Of the press thought
favorably about the glorious possible
ties Of that one and. indeed, the tickets
already had been ordered for II.
What happened need not be gone into
here. Some say that Tex Richard
begged Tunney to lay of and promised
him a shot at Dempsey.
Things . believe:
That the sign on Connie Mack's door
should read "Wrecking Done Here.

That folks who predict that Tony
Canzoneri will be massacred at Madi-
SON Square Gardens in May forget the
first Ross McLarnin affair. Just as IL
the case now, Vancouver Jimmy had
been idle for too long before training
for that one. So his legs were shaky
and his timing was off all evening.
That the National League executives,

TT, PERHAPS, was no mere coinci-

Sadly, being one Of those who are re-

secrets of his profession with the

the truth.
There was, for instance, the ST. Louis

seasons to giving his best aid, advice
and comfort to Billy Southworth. Per.
haps the reporter and the Cardinal

Tilford but to all outward appearances
