SUNDAY MORNING, MAY 13, 1923. 1—B FIVE CENTS Jess Willard Aggressive Against Johnson and Scores Clean Victory Against Young Iowa Battler Not Same Jess Who Lost to Jack Dempsey \ Famous Playwright Says For- i mer Champ Could Mow' | Firpo Down With His Attack. By JACK LA1T, Karmoiis Playwright and Short Story Write*. / 'Written E\pre«*t*ly for International New< Service.) KW YORK, May 12. The Jess Willard who sat down in Toledo with a numb, dumb grin of defeat, lived to stand up with his (nightly right hand raised in victory at 1 the climax of the greatest program of pugilism ever played, in the greatest stadium in the world. It is the habit, in tlie rare instance of "comebacks" to refer to I lie heroes of old. One cannot say m this case ’ that It was the “old Willard" again. Old he is. hut it was a new Willard, s(ul nothing short of a scientific i #i)Uemcnt such as that Jess has a ■ * monkey gland grafted in his aged carcass can make it seem plausible even to those who saw the unique contest. ^ Let no one tell you that it was just Willard’s bulk, lie weighed 24* pounds against Floyd Johnson's 195— more than the optimistic advance agents of Willard’s rejuvenation had promised. But not a pound of it was overmatter, lie had the body of a lad. trim, tapering, . hard, brown firm. True lie had- 63 pounds the better of it, but Johnson had some 22 (maybe more) years on his side. It was a clear case of weight for age, and about a tip and toss for the ad vantage of youth against meat. .less Confident. The moment Willard climbed into tlie ring he proclaimed himself a win ner, just as he was being laid off by the thousands in Toledo as soon as he showed himself in the greenish, puffy appearance of a cinch victim. But no one dreamt that the old gentleman would fight the best bat tle of all hi* years—better than the wearing, grinding, suffering survival that he pulled on that other Johnson —Jack—for the world crown. Willard was even aggressive, some thing he had never been before. Those who thought to see a shuffle ted grandpa coming in as a piti ful chotping block for <15.000; those who thought to see a long, dreary, one-sided walloping contest with only an outside chance that the comeback Tex Rickard Thinks Firpo Will Be Next Heavy Champion New York. May 12.—Tex Rick ard thinks Unis Angel Firpo will he the next world’s heavyweight champion. Rickard went em phatically on record to this effect this afternoon after he witnessed • Flrpo's knockout of Jack Mr Anliffe. "It may he six months or a year." said Te\. “Hut as sure as sheading he will whip Dempsey when they meet." might land one of his murderous rigt.t uppercuts, or left jabs, were lifted from their seats by a" huge bat tering machine that took many a broadside yet kept leading and trying and landing. This writer saw Willard fight Johnson. Brennan and Dempsey and kill "Bull" Young, and had no mean opinion of Jess at any time save In the fourth round tit Toledo when Willard failed to return to fight. Mercy is to-Tty, but the champion fighter of i universe has no light to take or ask any. lie should have fought at Toledo as long as he could move a fibre. Outside that moment, however. I have always regarded Willard as a dangerous and wicked fighter. Johnson I'sed All Blows. Rut never (lltl I believe he had hot tied up in his old frame quite such an account of himself as he carried the spectacular young Iowan to ^^ay. Johnson hit him from every , angle and with everything he had and with a lot he shouldn't have had Johnson fought a game and peppery but foul and vislcous fight, cuffing Willard repeatedly, using the forbid den rabbit punch, muring his hack, clouting with one arm or no arm free and socking even after the in termission gongs rang. lie outpointed Willard. He had to get inside the gorilla reach and rest his head on the hairy cushion of Willard's chest to get at him. Arid when he got in he left nothing un done. But when Willard potted him it meant something. It was Willard's victory, clean and lieyond cavil. Willard Is a tietter fighter than Johnson and that is why he won. He Is today a perilous op ponent. for any man that lives. Demp sey not barred, though Jack would probably take him: but never again as he did in Toledo. It is doubtful whether any other man today could stand up with Willard for IS rounds, and that takes in Flrpo, who made a sensational showing against yni|ig .lack McAullffe, the flashy eggshell from Detroit whom he put out with the first solid punch he landed Stephen to Play Albert Cahn Ralph Stephen, state threecushion billiard champion, and Albert Cahn. undefeated state t/hamplon in 1821, will play a two-match series at the Omaha Athletic club, starting Tues day night.

I.uis Firpo of the Argentine, dem onstrated a pair of some things: First, that he still is ]Missesned of all the power in his terrific wallop; second, that Jimmy lie Forrest improved him as a fighter in almost miraculous fashion during a two months' period.

After the fifth round it never was a question as to who would "in. It was merely a debate as to how many rounds it would take Jess to finish Floyd If it hadn't been for the fact j that long inactivity iiad somewhat j dulled Willard's marksmanship John- ' son probably would not have gone ‘ more than seven rounds. The one-time champion convinced ; the Immense audience that he has j whipped himself back into fighting shape. That he still ran hit—and [that once again he must lie reckoned with seriously among Jack Demp sey's rivals. McAuliffe's showing against Flrpo was a terrible disappointment. He j seemed to lack spirit, fought at long range, which was just playing Into ! Firpo’a hands, and seemed to me to i be a victim of stage Might.

UK thousand or In nj more followers of the Omaha Buffa loes who were present at the Fif 1 teenth and Vinton street ball lot yes terday a f t e rnoon between the hours of 3 and 5, saw Harry Bee. Buf falo southpaw pitcher, stand the Ues Moines Boost ers on their col lective heads and then give them a ’ coat of whitewash in the first game of the series. The i final score was 3 to 0. ' Lee mlsseil having his name scrib ! bled down on the list of no-run, no hit pitchers, by just two hits. For seven innings this Buffalo hurler held the visitors in the palm of his hand, , and if ever a Western league hurler | had the enemy at his command It was j this slim looking (mi a ha twirier. Lee I didn't have so much, but still it was plenty. In the eighth, after two were under, Nelson broke the ice for the Boosters and spoiled Harry's chance for a no hit contest. This Booster | lined one down the third base line ! for a single. Then in the very next ] round Wheat got a clean single ! through short. These two blows from 1 the bats of Des Moines were the sum j and total of hits collected off Lee all i afternoon. Backed up with a brand of the best support. Lee sailed along in fine style. Not a Booster got a glimpse of the second sack, although Wheat 1 was on his way to second in the ninth when Whaling, batting for Genin, hit into a double May that caught the former before he got anywhere near second base. ( on Mil't llit I.ee. The Boosters simply couldn't hit Bee. and his fast breaking curve sent 1 hack seven visitors via strike out. , He was aided in holding the Des Moines leaguers to two singles by some mighty fine fielding by both the outfield and intleld performers. The infield was heavy and made good base running hard. Bonowitz's one hand catch against the fence of Horan's high tty In the eighth was a knockout. Bonowllz went back against the boards and speared the pellet with one mitt, all of which pleased the spectators and caused the Boosters to look puzzled. Bo spec tacular was the catch that the Boosters congratulated the Buffalo on his dandy work. It was just such fielding on part of the herd that caused Ia-e to turn in his fine game. Prengergast. former big leaguer, held the mound for the Boosters and did right well. He wobbled a couple of times during the afternoon, but weathered the young rallies and finished the game. Omaha marie good use of the early innings. In the second after Defate lifted one •Ocnln, Konetchy worker] Prendergast for a base on balls. (Iriffin came through with a dandy home run over right field fence that scored Konetchy in front. The next two Buffaloes were easy outs. Bo much for that Inning. O’C onnor C»ets Homer. In the third, O’Connor, former I>e* Moines player, met the hall on the j better and sent it sailing over the | right field boards for the second homo run of the game and the final run of the cnntr.st. The buffaloes got men on second In l»oth the sixth and eighth innings, but were unable to give any sort of assistance to *hc*-o member* of the hen! mo they w«*re left stranded. The ])cm Moines hurler struek out four H iffaloes, hut his support wasn’t any too good. He allowed only five hits, but two of these were home runs and were plenty to win the game. Buffalo K& Tales .
