Sullivan a Diamond Star.

COLOR? Well, they had plenty of
that. But, in addition to punch
and color, they had speed and Drawn
and courage-and Just about every
thing else that could go into the
making of a great fighting man Each
dominated his era. The ultimate an
sWer-Which is almost impossible to
get, stripped of prejudice-hinges then
on which was the greatest era.
When 1 speak Of a Sullivan who
had speed, I speak of a Sullivan
never saw, because the Sullivan
knew was a paunchy old man, slowed
down by the years so that he moved
ponderouSly But I have sound testi-
mony concerning him from those who
like Jack Doyle, for inStance-kneW
him when he was in his prime.
That is, when first he came roaring
out of Boston at the age of % or
thereabouts, he was just under feet
tall and weighed about 1875 pounds
He was muscular, but 1.-the. He was
hard as nails, He had the making
of an all-around athlete, because he
could run the hundred about as fast
as any man of his time and he could
play ball so well that if he hadn't
turned to prize fighting instead he
might have been big Lacquer.

Corbett Found a Shell.

THE thing chiefly remembered
about him was the terrific force
with which he belted out his oppo-
nents with his right hand, but those
who saw him at his best talk, to this
day, Of the binding speed with which
he threw his punches with either
hand Whom did he lick? Well,
maybe some of them we're fat old men
who wouldn't be allowed in a ring to-
day. But they were all he had to
fight, and the record is that he did
pretty well with them-and the evi-
dence that comes down to us is that
on any given night he would have
done just as we'll against better men.
He was beaten at last by the great
est boxer the heavyweight division
ever has known. But that night at
New Orleans John l.. was "a years
old, had been living at fast pace for
10 years-and hadn't had a serious
ring engagement for four years.
Against Corbett, Sullivan had moth
ing left but courage, and that wasn't
enough against young, fast and
superbly conditioned opponent-not
after a few rounds had been reeled
off.

DemDsey-and Big jeff,

THE Dempsey Of the years from 1918
to 1928 was magnificent figure
in the ring. He overwhelmed the
men who fought him, and beat them
down with his furious punching. He
was a primeval fighting man to whom
nothing-inCluding the ruleS-mat-
tered, save the urge to stretch his foe
on the canvas in the shortest possible
time. He swept through the heavy
weights of his era and stood alone for
seven years until, past the peak, he
was impaled on Gene Tunney's left
hand at Philadelphia. 1t always will
be difficult to make any one who saw
him in the full flush of his career
believe that there ever was heavy
weight who was his superior.
But what of Jeffries? Not, of course
the fat and faded Jeffries whom John
son dropped in the scorching Reno
heat in 1910. But the Jeffries who
won the championship in less than
a dozen fights. The JeffrieS who, at
%, was feet 112 inches tall, weighed
about 200 pounds, had terrific punch
in either hand-and could take a
punch so well that F'itz, a mighty
hitter, cracked both hands on him
trying in vain to bring him down.
Undoubtedly, there were more good
heavyweights around in Jeff's time
than in any other time in the history
of the ring in this country. Fitz
Corbett, Rubin, Sharkey, Choynsk
and half dozen others were all active
all at their peak-or close to it. But
jeff went through the pack, beating
and running the best that could be
tossed into the ring with him.
He was easy to hit-but hard tx
hurt He could fight all highland
no matter how far behind he was
in some of his contests with better
boxers, he could win in a punch-as
he did against Corbett at Coney
Island.
The best of the three-of the lot:
I don't know. But it seems to me tha,
there is a lot to say for those whose
choice Is JeffrieS.

BY GEORGE E. HUBER.

THIS is the place from which the
popular trips around the keys
are made. and the Shark River anglers
also start here Shark River is the
tarpon grounds, as many local angler
will attest. Among those who plan
trip down there this month is our
own Walter McCallum, who is switch
ing for awhile from golf clubs to his
second love, fishing rods. With him
will be DR.. Alex Preece, DR.. Paul M.
Stewart and DR.. Paul M. Stewart, jr.
Yes, we envy them.
Tarpon, while being the main
attraction, are not the only
fish caught. A hundred other
species abound there, many Of
which can be caught on a bait
casting rod.
Jerry Sappington was down there
once, fishing when the tide was right,
and made 26 consecutive casts, catch
ing fish each time. He missed on
the twenty-seventh try and called
it a day. That's just an example of
what can be done, and is only one
of the reasons why We think this is
the best place in the Eastern U. S. A.
for salt water enthusiasts.
A slight drawback is the mos
quitoes, which come hot and heavy
at certain seasons. To give some indi-
cations as to the size of these flying
rapiers, the natives down there tell
of the angler who went out fly fishing.
The larger the fly he used, the larger
the fish he caught, so, seeking the
ultima thule of his trip, he tied on
one of the mosquitoes which he had
captured by lassoing it with g.
thread line. Using this enormous
bait, he brought in 11O-pound tarpon.

Tomorrow Is Deadline.

"FITHER it is accepted by tomor-
row." he stated through his
American representative, Joe Jacobs
''or it will be withdrawn. In that case
We will go into training for the June
3 fight, and will stand on our contract
rights"
The new offer, made by Schmeling
on behalf of the Deutsche Halle A. c.
of Berlin, was 100000 more than the
first guarantee offered when Der Make
arrived from Germany
The money would be deposited ir
any bank outside of Germany or the
United States stipulated by Braddock
and would be free of tax in Germany
Schmeling explained the German gov
ernment has no interest in the fight
and that its only concern is in per-
mlttlng the guarantee money to leave
the country tax free.
Gould said that in addition tc
100000, the title holder would insist
on an American referee and an Eng
lish judge.

Fishing Club at Everglades.

TT Is, in fact, the best place along the
whole vest coast of Florida to
catch tarpon. They arrive there early
in the Spring, hang around through
out the Summer, and then dash on
around the coast to Texas. They are
caught both still fishing and trolling
and hardly a day goes by that some
silver beauty is not brought in to be
weighed, inspected and sometimes
mounted.
The Ten Thousand Islands
have barely been touched by
civilization and they are about
the only place in the country
where commerce has not robbed
fishing of its sporting aspects.
The jumping-of place for this beau
tiful bit of creation is the little town
of Everglades, situated on the edge
of Collier County. There sportsmen
from all over the country gather dur
ing the tarpon season in the Rod
and Gun Club, the walls Of which are
lined with panels of tarpon scales
On each of the scales the name of the
lucky angler has been written, to-
gether with the date, weight and other
pertinent information, not forgetting
the name of the guide. Practically
every State in the country and the
District OF Columbia Is represented.

DEMPSEY, JOHN |.
HIS CHIEF RIVALS
Jim Had Flock of Qualities

of Best Heavies.
BY GRANTLAND RICE.

OS ANGELES, March 22.-Fight
fans like to argue-among
other things-about who was
the greatest heavyweight cham
pion that ever lived. In all the argu-
mentS on this score that I've ever
heard-and I've heard plenty of them
in the years I've been pounding the
sport trail-the three leading candi-
dates for the distinction were John L.
Sullivan, James j. Jeffries and Jack
Dempsey.
Bob FitzSimmons, Jim Corbett and
Jack Johnson have their adherents,
too. But, in the main, the vote is
pretty evenly distributed among John
L., jeff and Dempsey.
The fact that each of them was a
puncher may have had something to
do with this, because the fellow with
the grand slam always has the crowd
on his side. And I don't mean only
in fighting. Babe Ruth in base ball, Bill
Tilden and Maurice Mclaughlin in
tennis, Bobby Jones and Walter Hagen
in golf-theyre the fellows you'll re-
member after you've forgotten most
of the Others because they had the
skill plus the Wallop But it couldn't
have been only on punching power
that Sullivan; Jeffries and Dempsey
drew the most cheers. In the matter
of sheer force wrapped up in boxing
glove, the bald and freckled and
spindly-legged Fitz was pretty good,
too.

to defend his title in Berlin, but for
all the stir it created among those con-

The champion, through his manager,
Joe Gould, turned down the offer be-
cause it wasn't up to his previously set
minimum of 100000.
Madison Square Garden, which was
offered $4,000 by Schmeling to release
the fight to Germany instead of pro-
noting it here on June 3, cold
shouldered the proposition pending
completion of its plans for legal action
against the Braddock-Joe Louis bout
in Chicago.
Schmeling accompanied his offer
with an ultimatum to both Braddock

AHEARN DISPLAYS
IMPORTED TALENT
ArceIIi, Loder Promise Hot
Bout, but Attendance
Outlook Is Dark.
BY BURTON HAWKINS.
1.-TWO out-of-town fighters will
mix tonight at Turner's cauli-
flower crucible in an expert

lila gOill6IlG dU i VI IlcI ) Cdull-
flower crucible in an expert
ment, which Matchmaker
Goldie Ahearn hopes will unveil a
discovery, but which might explode
into financial fizzle.
Feeling Washington's fistic family is
eager to focus its collective glimmers
on new talent, Ahearn has imported
Teddy Loder from New York and
Werther Arcelli from Boston to blend
in an eight-round feature fight which
might set new high for action here
this season, but at the same time may
strike new low in attendance.
Ahearn has violated the first rule of
matchmaking in neglecting local color,
but then again, that's necessity, since
there isn't any local welterweight able
or willing to argue with either Loder
or Arcelli. He believes action instead
of names will entice customers and
he's gambling on it.
Looms as Hot Scraps.
WHILE neither you nor 1 are con-
cerned over whether Mr.. Loder
beats Mr.. Arcelli or vice versa, the
fight nevertheless stacks up as a rather
hectic debate if ArcelliS one recent ap-
pearance here and Loder's record
testify to their respective prowess.
Arcelll at least has impressed one
native with his flstic ability. Phil Furr,
originally slated to scrap with the
Italian, elected to take ring vacation.
Phll's temporary retirement is believed
in most quarters to be merely good
sense, since Werther disposed of Sid
SllaS in three rounds and the best Furr
ever could accomplish against the jew
lsh lad was knockout in the twelfth
round.
If FUR chooses to stick to the busi-
ness Of plaStering walls instead Of
attempting to paste beaks, which is un-
likely, the quaint District welterweight
title automatically will be left vacant.
So, if that's any added incentive, Loder
and Arcelli may be fighting for some
sort of championship.
LOder Hard Puncher.
A STIFF puncher, the German
American Loder indirectly is
managed by Joe Jacobs, who is get
ting nowhere rapidly at present in
maneuvering Max Schmeling into a
title fight.
Doug SWetnam, who seems to have
hit his stride after many years as a
$3.50 preliminary boy, will square off
with Nick Camarata, Richmond
featherWelght, in an eight-round
semi-fnal. Camarata held Petey Sar-
ron to a draw in Richmond before
the world featherWeight champion
sailed for South Africa.
In a quartet of four-rounders,
Frankie De Angelo, local feather
weight, will meet Joe Letto of Balti-
more; Joe OPalooka) Mathews of
Richmond will face Bill Temes, local
lightweight; Sam Bracala, Baltimore

Always Keep Ahead.

ONE of Gallagher's former pupils
Coach Art Griffith of Tulsa High
whose teams have won 8 State
championships out of 10 they entered,
and won national high school tourna-
ments at Northwestern in 1928, 1899
and 1880, sums up the situation like
this:
Oklahoma boys are just about a
year ahead of the rest of the country
in technique all the time. Oklahoma
teams will show one brand of wres-
tiing at tournament All other teams
will watch and say, BY golly, we'll
dote on their stuff beat 'em next
year But when Oklahoma teams
show up next year they will have
changed their technique or developed
it just enough to make the years work
of their competitors useless. It's
their superior technique that does it"

"SCHMELING also will have to

The Garden, however held to it's
policy TO have nothing to do with the

The Garden holds contracts of both
Schmeling and Braddock for the June

signed Braddock disregarded them and
signed to meet Louis in Chicago late
in June. Col. John Reed Fitzpatrick
refused comment on Schmeling's lat

suit is not yet ready for court filing.

Gould said, Braddock will follow his

start conditioning for the Louis fight
