Leonard Will
Forsake Stage
1 for Roped Ring
New York, April 7. — Benny Leon
ard, world's lightweight champion,
will soon forsake the footlights for
I he arclights which lllm^ine the path
of the padded fists. He has four op
ponents in view for the renewal of
his ring career. They are: Lew Tend-.
f lor. Sailor Friedman, Mickey Walker
^ ind Charlie White. This, probably,
.a not the order in which they will
face the champion.
Leonard will doubtless meet eirher
Lew Tendler or Mickey Walker In
midsummer or fall. There is a golden
windfall for Leonard In bouts with
both Tendler and Walker. But after
his long siege of idleness, coupled with
the distructive consequences of stage
life, Leonard will need a "tuning up”
bout. This Is where Charlie White is
likely to fit In. Pugllistically, White
is “ns dangerous as he is dumb,” as
one ring sharp put it. He is the best
puncher of the four, which wilt make
the bout a good drnwing card.
Three years ago Benny Leonard
knocked White out after a thrilling
combat. In the ring White thinks
very alowly. Otherwise he is sorne
^•mi.g of a wonder. Bing reverses do j
not seem to affect his status among
fans and fighters. And this Is where
in White is unique as a ring type.
"Being always as dangerous as he Is
dumb,” pugillstleally speaking. White ’
retains a curious perpetual drawing
power.
Capt. Bon Roper, the hard 9oeklng
heavyweight, and Floyd Johnson will
come together at the Arena A. C. In
Boston ond April 16. Floyd is also |
scheduled to fight Jess Willard for
(he milk fund at the Yankees’ park
on May 12.
Roper la a dangerous fellow In the
ling, A glance at his record shows
he has knocked out such good men as
Frank Moran, Carl Morris (twice). A1
Roberts and has heaten Hugh Wal
ler, Bon Martin, Bill Brennan, Jnek
| Burke, Pat McCarthy and others.
Bill fought two nodecislon 10-round
bouts with “from Gibbons, held Billy
Mlske to a draw and has also sparred
against Harry Greb.
Roper Is a good fighter and Floyd
Johnson would better W'atch his
step.
Having lost 20 pounds. Jess Willard Is
beginning to feel his oats. The former
champion is signaling from Missouri
, for sparring partners able to with
stand the pep and energy he is gen
• rating for his battle with Floyd
Johnson. Willard still Is a powerful ;
man from waist up. His legs
weak. Unless he runs miles every nay
he may be badly beaten by John
as he was by Dempsey.
Unless Johnny Kilbnne, feather
champ, and Johnny Wilson, middle
weight leader, bow to the rules and
regulations of the New York Box- :
ing commission. Bill Mu Moon says they
will not be recognized nor wanted
here. New York fistic followers
would like to see Kllbane In action
and maybe Wilson would he enter
taining, but not if those men con
tinue to consider themselves above
the laws ns laid down by the New
York state representatives. An nppll
ration for recognition blight be ac i
ceptable.

Dempsey Would Get Good Workouts
If He Boxed Gibbons and Wills
New York, April 1.—Jack Demp
sey is coming east again to make an
other attempt to land a match and
this time he may be more success
ful. Experience has shown that talk
of heavyweight championship matches
diverts interest from the smaller
classes and in consequence the at
tendance at ordinary shows falls off
to an alarming extent. Now that the
boxing season at Madison Square
Garden Is over, the ban against
heavyweight matches will bn lifted
and when Dempsey arrives the talk
of million dollar purses will he re
sumed where it was cut short by Mul
doon's action.
It is doubtful if the Willard-John
son bout will develop an opponent for
Dempsey and it is no more probable
that Luis Eirpo can be boosted into a
championship match in this country
this year. But Dempsey has two
ready made opponents In Tom Gib
bons and Harry Wills.
Wills evidently has received some
assurance that he will get the Demp
sey match because Harry has not en
tered the ring since his bout with
Clem Johnson several months ago.
Just previous to that affair Wills was
making more money than at any time
during his career. The publicity he
received as Dempsey’s challenger
made him a big card and he was in
demand. ,
Although Wills was earning bigger
purses than ever before he was not
adding nnything to his prestige by his
performances. Most of them were dis
tinctly disappointing. No doubt that
is why he lias turneil down all of
f.-rs of late. Hs must he very sure
I nf he Is going to get the Dempsey
match i r he would not pass up so
much easy money.
The logical program for Dempsey
would be a warmup gallop with Glb
t-ons in July and then a battle with
Wills In September. Dempsey argues
with some reason that after his long
spell of idleness he should be allowed
one or two comparatively pasy
matches before neetlng the stalwart
rtf grp.
The chance to add something to his
bank account Is, of course, not lost
sight of by Dempsey when he asks
for the privilege of taking part In a
preliminary battle before meeting
Wills. Still, it cannot be denied that
Ms request Is reasonable.
Everyone seems to overrate Demp
sey. In the offleo of the boxing com
rr lesion. In particular, there Is a pro
nounced tendency to look upon him as
a superman. This Is likely to cost
him plenty of trouble, for If he tackles
Wills without a fight or two under
his belt, Ic may have a hard time
of It.
A nmteh with Gibbons would be just
right for Dempsey as a starlrr. Gib
bons would not he too tough, hut 1 ■>
Is cnpnhle of giving the champion a
rt n for the money. Dempsey never

Eddie Heame to Drive

Indianapolis, April 7.—Kvcn Kddlo

i time. Georges Carpentier was the
j best man he has tackled. Gibbons
In a far better man than Carpentier.
He has all the *Frenchman's speed
and hitting ability and is twice as
clever and four times as tougli.
The truck horse style of fighters
such as Willard and Firpo never will
cause Dempsey any trouble. He is
altogether too fast for them. Demp
sey s speed must be matcheil with
speed. Wills has speed in addition
to his great strength and for that
reason he Is dangerous. None of the
men who are to take part in the big
show at the Yankee's stadium, on
May 12, is going to provide a suitable
opponent for Dempsey this year Hath
Johnson and Firpo have a chance to
develop, but both still are a long way
short of championship form.
One report is to the effect that
Dempsey will make another trip to
Kurope if he falls to get a match
here.

Tulsa Club Bats High
in Financial League
Boehler Deal Example
□L\I CRAWFORD. president and
chief owner of the Tuksa West
ern league club, has dabbled iti
ell fur quite a period and the re
turns have been many per cent profit
on the investment, but one deal, or
a sequence of dickers by the Tulsa
ball club has all his other bonanzas
faded for Increased returns.
The concrete deni was between the
Tulsa and .St. I.ouis duos. which
shift.il the berths of McManus to
the Browns for Roehler to the Oil
ers but the previous data reads like an
episode in an Arabian Nights enter
tainment.
Marty McManus was picket! up off
the lots of Chicago by the Tulsa club
when Sperrer Abbott was the mana
ger, who re he played a orta u amount
of independent bail and bis purchase
price was practi ally nil. 1!" later
was Sold to the St. Louis Browns for
$4 "00 and thereby hangs a tale.
George Boehler was a member of
the St. Louis -Browns, l ut it was de
rided to send him elsewhere. Bill Friel.
business manager of the Oilers, was
a St. Louis \ itor at the close of
the season nnd Bob Quinn inquired
if Tulsa could use Boehler and quot
'd a t.VOQO price i>n him. The deal
hinged on the refusal of the Louis
ville club of the American associa
tion. who had been given first choice
on Boehler. Friel sut ge--tcil t > Quinn
that he pet in touch with t'rawford
and fortunately Janies K was In the
Sportsman park staiwis In company
with Phil Ball.
The Louisville club neglected the
opportunity and the Tulsa magnate
then mad" the suggestion that ns the
Browns owed them 14.000 for Mc
Manus they take Boehler and call the
deal even Steven, thereby making the
deal McManus for Boehler even u>
Since that time the Tulsa club has
- ' Bo.-hler to Pittsburgh for $30,.
000 and two players, the two players
to lx> Tulsa’s property for the privi
lege of looking Boehler over in the
spring.
Jn other words the Tulsa club re
ceived two years of service out of
Boehler. $30.no0 cash and two play
ers regardless of whether Boehler re
mains In f ist company or not and a ,
possibility that the players selected
from Pittsburgh may eventually grad
uate Into faster company for McMan i
us who did not cost the Oilers a farth
Ing.
McManus was not a finished product
by any means but he was a prospect
for the Browns just ns he had been
for Abbott and though no place was
alloled McManus In the spring, he
made the regul rs hustle and was a)
loted Larmore’s position at short and !
when he failed to show- symptoms ot
tie ing a shortstop. Cotton Tierney
moved to shortstop and McManus
went to second base.
Drawing Power of Dempsey-Firpo
Match Not Very Great at Present
Spe* lal Dispatch Ut The Omaha lies.
New York. April 1.—It la Ihc
opinion of fight fans that the
drawing power of Dempsey and Flrpo
In a local ring would he tremendously
Increased if the South American
should first defeat such heavyweight
contenders ns Jess Willard. Floyd
Johnson and Tom Gibbons. Rickard
evidently realizes Gils fact ns he ts
planning to send Flrpo Against Jack
McAullffe In a preliminary to the
Willard Johnson affair at the Yankro
stadium on May 111.
It Is held that Flrpo should not he
matched with Dempsey until next
year, considering Ids recent perform
ance with lu-cumin. Hut If ho should
whip both Gibbons and the winner if
the Willard Johnson battle before the
middle of tbn summer, lie might he
experienced enough to shape up wiih
Dempsey early In October.
The South American needs plenty
of bard milling to fit hint for a w»* Id
championship lilt, ell bus much to
learn about ring tactics and science
At present Flrpo has no defense, but
Is a natural fighter, equipped will)
a terrific right hand wallop.
If Dempsey and Flrpo were matched
to box In New York today the chum
plan would ls> a 10 to 1 favorite. Hut
.next year, assuming that Flrpo could
down the leading second raters, the
odds on Dempsey would he greatly
reduced.

Nc\V YORK, APRIL, Here !s
something that was written over
60 year* ago:
“Jem Mace was now on the pin
nacle of success, and as—envy doth
merit as its shade pursue.
"And by the shadow prove the sub
stance true.”
“So the newly fledged champion
was carped at. criticized, challenged
and unfavorably compared with ell
sorts and sizes of preceding and even
contemporary heroes of the ring.”
Substitute the name of Jack Demp
sey for Jem Mace, and see how little
human nature has changed.
SIXTY jears from now substitute
tlie name of the cluunpion of the
period for the name of Dempsey,
ami the words will still rover the sit
uation.
Sixty jears from now this writer
and most of the readers of this col
umn will not rare a great deal who
is champion.
Jack Dempsey may still be alive,
muttering in his beard that fighters
aren't what they were in the daj'S
when lie was fighting. If he Is, he
will have established a record for
longevity among heavyweight cham
pions. He will be 8*.
Jack Hroughton. second to Flgg in
the line ot titlehnlders, lived to be 8.">;
John Dully to 80. The average life
of the big champions for the past JiO
jears has been 6-1.
THE writer wishes he could be
sure of living to be 8T, which is
not probable.
He also would have a long beard,
and would annoy the young men of
the period by telling them IJcnny
Leonard could have licked any of
their lightweights with one hand, and
their middleweight* with both.
Also that Ruth was a better hitter
than the great slugger they will oe
raving about, that they never saw a
pitcher like Walter Johnson.
This would he extremely uninter
esting to the young men.
H\I) the writer some 15 years ago
been observing certain rules
which he is now too tired tn
practice, he might—barring arcident
—have attained to 8*.
Discretion in eating and drinking,
early to hod. no smoking, plenty of
rsercise—these things would have
bridged the years to a pleasant old
age.
Young gentlemen who read this col
umn anil who wish tn see who is
champion fit) years from now are ad
t i*ed to head the above paragraph.
They probably won't.
O'Leary Wins Wager.
Pan O'Leary, S2 years old and a
champion when It comes to long
distance walking, is $10 to the good
this morning as the result of a wager
made yesterday at the Rome hotel.
Two ‘drummers," Janies C. itlng
rose, shoo salesman of SI. I>outs. and
John S. Uutrsey of Chicago, also a
salesman, got Into a friendly argu
ment with OTc'ary. The argument
siartod when Pin said he could walk
to tlretna, a distance of 23 miles, in i
less than six hours. The salesman
wagered lio that O’Leary couldn't
turn the trick.
Friday morning the trio left the
hotel. O'Leary set the pace and 12
miles from Omaha the "drummers"
decided that Pan was their master
when It came to walking, so gave the
10 bucks to O'Leary and then the
trio walked together. They reached
tlretna In five hours and eight
minutes.

‘ticker Party”
to Cost Giant
Regulars Jobs
By DAVIS J. WALSH.
International Mew* Service Sport* Tiditsr.
New York, April 7.—The iron hand t
of John McGraw is responsible for the
commendable pitching of Hugh Mc
Quillan and Jess Barnes In recent
games against the Chicago White
•Sox. Although it is not generally
known, this worthy pair was more or
less concerned in the breach of train
ing at San Antonio, which ended In
John Scott being fined $100 and the
banishment of Earl Smith to the sec
ond team.
Just why McGraw countenanced
the derelictions of McQuillan and
Barnes and not those of Scott and
Smith Is not known, but he probably
had his own very good reasons. No
one can dispute the fact that his
handling of men gels the desired re
sults.
To Release Smith.
In this case, it has resulted In
Scott, McQuillan and Barnes pitching
excellent haseball and tbe chances
are that the incident would be speed
il: forgotten If McGraw did not have
otic plans. It is said that as soon
as the second team returns from a
protracted tour. McGraw intends to
cut loose from Earl Smith with
definite finality.
That is his first contemplated step
by way of reprisal for the flouting of
his stern discipline. His next is said
to be a proposal to the Cincinnati
Reds, whereby the RareesT.uqae
trade negotiations will be reopened.
If the Cincinnati club will accept
Smith, he also will be tossed Into ths
deal for good measure. In fact, he
has tired of Smith as a steady diet
and plans to let him go to the highest
bidder. if any.
As for Barnes. It has been no star
chamber secret that McGraw haa
soured on his pitching during recent
seasons, and the spark cf his antip
athy needed only the San Antonio
incident to be fanned Into actire
flame. Barnes status with the world's
champions is most uncertain at this
time.
McQuillan has been given to under
stand that he is on probation but his
recent work has been so good It Is
l.kely that McGraw Is willing to for
give and forget.
