BY HENRY L. FARRELL (United Press Staff Correspondent.) NBW YORK, Dec. o man in the world can whip me Previous to the fight in Toledo last July, Jess Willard went even further and told’ Tex Rickard he could out his jaw with perfect sa: man living. Rickard toid this the stick ety to any other support of his belief that the supreme arrogance of the former champion was not killed in the Fourth of July tragedy and that he wants to come back to prove it: Rickard also spoke of a little confer- yence that took pbwe in Willard’s train ing camp the night before the fight. In sponse to a message from the huge Kansan, he went to the’ cham- jpion’s quarters and found him stretched lazily in a big chair, . x. I want you to go in with me on a big movie deal.

That would be a good match but T don’t know that I J would care 10 handle it.’ Reports from ‘the Kansas home of the former champion some time ago ied hunches that the big “cowboy” wasn’t content with his lot.

Bob Martin is about as level-headed as any pugilist who ever pulled on a lLoxing glove, and we are of the opin- ion that his shrewdness will get him there one of these fine days. lave classed him ag one of the hardest hitters in the American ring, but with sll his hitting powers, he hasn't ac- quired that-ring generalship which pro- duces champions. And, best of all, there is no one in the world who real-{ izes this fact better than Martin. Some critics have panned the cham- Lion heavyweight of the American ex- peditionary forces because he hasn't chosen better men to face, but Martin, we believe, is doing the correct thing. Hig easy knockout over Arthur Pelky the other evening proves that he can hit and yet it doesn’t stamp him qs! a champion, Martin declares that he wants to meet all of Dempsey's victims in or- der that he can prove to the public | that he.is the goods. He wants to start | from the bround floor and work up, | mighty sensible attitude for a young | gilist to assume. If he gets by like | ck Dempsey did, he can easily de- mand a title bout with Dempsey—or | perhaps Carpentier.
