Anyway, Johnston wants Jimmy to promote such a bout at one of the big league parks. It will be re- called that Jimmy had the fight all arranged last year. The fighters had agreed to box and tickets were sell- ing. Then Benny Leonard went weat and fought Pal Moran, injuring his thumb. At least it was claimed to be an injury. They ray that Benny, in this fight against Pal, had decided to make a test of his ability to come somewhere near the weight and see what he could do. His success wasn't marked and this is said to have been a lead- ing cause in his retirement. If the purse offered for the Wal- ker bout is sufficiently high—as it will be—there is little doubt that he might be uced to meet the wel- ter king. Even if he were defeated, which Is not likely, he would still have the credit cf having retired undefeated from the ightwelght throne. Walker keen for this battle and the way s look now, it is one of the big- ards any promoter who seeks al Tex Rickard could play. y,That the New York politicians would welcome the bout may be gathered from their attitude toward it last summer.

NEW YORK, Feb. 20—1United Press.)}—Often in the conversation of baseball players, boxers, runners and athletes you will hear references to “heart’ It is another expression for courage, and it is more polite to say that an athlete has no heart than it is to acuse him of being “yellow”. wy Possession of a “heart” is the first thing a manager seeks in a young boxer, the first requisite of a pitcher and the most valuable asset for a runner, a tennis player or even a golfer, Combjned with ordinary ability, a good ‘heart’ often will get an ath- lete farther than'one with the great- @st skill and no courage. ‘There were tennis players with more skill and finish than Mrs, Molla Mallory, but she reigned su- preme on the tennis courts for years because she WOULDN'T lose. ‘There are golf yers with a bet ter game than Walter Hagen, but he goes along season after season, winning big tournaments because he has a heart that beats its hardest when the going is the toughest. There are better pitchers perhaps than Urban Shocker, but Col, Jake Ruppert, owner of the Yankees, said recently: “If a game should be play- ed for a million dollars, I wouldn't want to see any better pitcher on the mound for me than Shocker.” The most interesting demonstra- tion of the value of a fighting heart came in the recent contest between Sammy Mandell and Sid ‘Terris, which was a bout to find the unof- ficial successor to the lghtweight championship vacated by . Benny Leonard, Terris was picked by many ex- perts to win because of his superior speed, sharper punching and snap- pler boxing. It was agreed that he had most everything on Mandell but the heart. It was noticed that in several of his bouts, Terris showed a tendency to step back when he was hurt and that Mandell had al- ways charged in furlously when he was stung. It was a most important fight for Mandell, because he is a westerned and he hasn't the chance to keep himself in the limelight like a New Yorker. Defeat would have meant consignment almost to oblivion as he would have t that valuable rating as a “card,” When Mandell came to New York to finish his training, Tom Gibbons, his pal and companion under the management of Eddie Kane, made the trip with him. Gibbons didn't train with Mandell. He found him- self an inconspicuous place in the gallery and watched Terris when he was boxing. Two days before the fight, Kane asked Gibbons if he had talked over the fight with Mandell. . “No, I haven't,” Gibbons replie I don't believe it’s necessary. The boy is in good spirits, he isn’t train. ing too much and I believe I'l! just let him alone.” With Mandell and Gibbons was Uttle Pete Gotusso, just oyt of the amateurs for his fifth professional fight against Nat Pincus, an ex- Perlenced fighter. Gotusso is man- aged by Kane. There was no discus- sion of the Mandell fight in the dressing room before little Gotusso went out. They were all telling him what to do. ‘Don’t get excited now, and don't get afraid,” Gibbons said. “If you get hurt, don't be discour- aged, because ‘you don’t know how the other fellow feels.” After which he took a sly glance in the driec- tion of Mandell who had been listen- ing attentively, ‘ Mandell was aimost forgotten when little Peto came back after taking a bad beating. He was ready to cry because he had recelvyed a black eye, but he was happy in a way, “I didn't step back, did I, Tom?" he asked, and he \ beamed when Gibbons answered, “You're a game little kid, Pete, and that's the main thing.” When Mandell was in his corner just before the fight started, Gib- bons talked to him about almost ev- erything ‘but fighting. He pointed out at the ringside oll the friends that Sammy knew, including Wil- lian 8. Hart and a whole section of rooters from the Friars club. Just before the bell started the fight, Gibbons leaned over and gave his first instructions “Sammy, don't you take one step back—not one little step.” It was the rigid adherence to this Instruction that won the fight for Mandell, and it will win a lot of his fights. Mandell didn’t take one back step. When he was being pounded around the ring in the fifth round and was on the point of a knockout.a dozen time, he always moved forward. The more he was hurt the more desperately he fought and Terris’ face dropped. Although he won the roufd by a mile, ‘Terris went back to his cornrer licked, and Gibbons knew it. “He's hitting you with a right hand," Gibbons said, ‘Watch tt, but don't watch {t too much, You go out this round and take the fight away from him and keep jt. When ho presses you, step in close and ep your head moving all the Mandell did go out to take the fight away from Terris and he did. He stayed in close and pumped in blows to the body that had Terris protesting. The punches were lend- ing closer to his chest than to belt line, but Terris was being hurt and he couldn't help but show it. His heart left him and he was licked. After that experience, Mandell can lick Terris three times a week and a lot of other fighters “w{!l beat Ter- ris now that his real Yeakness is known, Mandell is certainly #ntitled claim the lightweig! ampionship. Perhaps he isn't as gOWl as Leonard, but you must remember that Man- dell is not yet of the age and he has a long way to go. He has the heart and he ought to grow into a heftier punch while practice will Im- prove his boxing. to oe Try Tribune Wan: Ads for Results ) bone ~e + - - Om Fi h ay / PLANK AFTER MOnE RECORDS Expects to Break Own Time Before End Of Season By LAWRENCE PERRY, (Copyright, 1925, Casper Tribune.) NEW YORK, Feb. 20.—Willle Plant advises the writer that he Is not yet through breaking records on the walk. When the present indoor season {s ended, he expects to have improved on some of his world records. Asked why it is that he has made better time on indoor tracks than outdoors—when, almost all athletic feature time is better on the cinders —he said the better footing given by the pine boards {s conducive to better speed by pedestrians. Walking was a popular feature of indoor meets during the eighties and nineties, then languished for one reason or another. Keene Fitzpatrick, the Princeton athletic coach and trainer, points out that absolutely a different set of muscles and organs is involved in running and walking and that he regards the hee] and toe branch of athletics as a big subject for study. It would appear to be. For in- stance, if pine boards are better alapted to record breaking walks, why is not a track of the sort suit- abl: above all other tracks for run- ners? Here is a subject for scien- tific investigation which might bring forth interesting as well as valuable information, Murchison seems to be one min who tes‘ifies that boards suit” him better than cinders.
