He isn't look- ing for a man to beat Dempsey, he states, So much as developing a heavy—who will be qualified to step in Jack’s shoes when the champion slows up.

Simpson seems to have no trouble with the law at all, and has put on some very good bouts in the past year which have netted him real money. The bouts at Oakland are short— only four rounds, But there is more real fighting in those rounds than fans in other sections of the country, Bee in 8, 10, 12 and 15 frames. ’ ———————__ Standings National SHOW REAL ABILITY IN MADDEN BATTLE By HENRY L. FARRELL (United Press Sports Editor) NEW YORK, April 28.—With a couple of big shots in prospect there are few prominent boxers who are willing to take a chance on warming up or working out with any op- Ponent who might be figured to have any chance of letting one fly that would spoil the prospects. Luis Angel Firpo gave boxers some excellent lessons in caution when he was told by Tex Rickard that he could get a chance for the heavyweight championship if he kept his jaw out of the way of de- struction. Firpo made himself on Some of, the worst setups in the gam though some might argue ie hee Willard was not an easy Madden 1s one of the toughest and gamest fighters in the ri There ts no one, Including Dempsey, who has a stouter heart than Mad- den, and it.is possible that there is no fighter who can take as much and take it as long as Madden can. eee Several years ago, when Tom Gibbons was knocking them all over with a punch or two, Madden went ten rounds with him, and when the last bell sounded ho was still on his feet. For eight rounds Gibbons had pounded him on the jaw with rights and lefts, but he couldn’t put him out, Madden was so cut up from the beating that doctors had to take 14 stitches in his face. Madden at that time had been doing very little training. He knew he could stay ten rounds with any fighter in the game, and he w terested only in staying. Against Wills, however, Madden probably will be a different fighter, at least physi- cally better. He has been training for more than three months, and if he is in shape, there is no way of telling how much he will be able to} take. Firpo's advisers figured, however, that Willard would do just what he did do. They knew that he was not able to go a distance and they were sure that he would not postpone ac. tion when he found out that the going was getting too rough. Willard took the count on the chair in his corner at Toledo when he lost the championship to Jack Dempsey, and he was crawling for the stool when the referee caught him with the count of ten in the ring with Firpo. Harry Wills 4s practically assured of at least two big shots this sum- mer. He needs work, of course, to get back Into good fighting shape, but he could get the jobs offered him by Tex Rickard even if he didn't in. Against an opponent of such dura- bility, Wills will be in great danger of breaking one of his fragile fists. He has broken his right hand sev- @ral times and has lost a hundred thousand dollars in business because of his weak maulers. He can’t hit & soft one without being in danger of fracturing some bones, and against Madden he will be facing a Clubs wii put a glove on until he started train- concrete post. ing. x New York -. 8 2 Under the circumstances it might Glifoago:— 1 84 a Wills accepted a match with Bart be figured that the fight is “in the Cintinnat! — -.. 2. 7 < oy ‘Madden, the! trish heavyweight, |.o0 s+ seaacen te going no place.

HENDRICKS HAS CINCINNATI REDS OUT IN FRONT OF PAC BY JOHN B. FOSTER (Copyright 1924, Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, April 28—Jack Hen- dricks, the new manager of the Cincinnati Nationals, is doing some- thing that Pat Moran could not seem to do, He is making his old team of huskles hit the top of the league pace from the start. The Reds are hard on the heels of the Giants, every minute and their breath is so hot it is scorching the Giants necks. A little slump for the league champions and they will be out of the lead. It wasn't so in 1923. At the end of last May the Pittsburgh Pirates were in sec- ond place and Brooklyn in third, while Cincinnati floundered along a poor fourth, Every advise of Cincinnati in the spring urged upon the players the necessity of keeping neck and neck with the Giants between April 15 and May 31 and they certainly are taking advice. Good pitchers has a lot to do with it. But there is another factor.
