In a single series, est club in baseball, no matter where they happen to be in the standing of the teams. Recently, while the Athletics were coasting along with around a ten- | game lead, I asked Connie Mack what he feared most, if anything. One might have expected the old master to say something about his own club going stale, with so big a margin to work on. plied: “The Yankees. we can't ever be| too far ahead of them to suit me. They have slipped, possibly, but: they are always dangerous. Our club has more than held its own against the champions this year but not by any wide margin. Con- fident as I am of our club, I would feel mone too easy if the pennant hinged on the outcome of a single series b('t\‘ocn the Athletics and the Yankee: There were some hopes earlier in| the year that Jack Dempsey would | yield to the old call and have one more fling with the gloves, but the retirement of the Math Mauler now seems as permanent as that of Tunney. Dempsey has yet to find a steady job as a promoter that he hoped to land after his successful venture with Madison Square Garden in Miami Beach last February. Fail- ing in that and of the type always anxious for action, Jack may yet be brought back to the ring by fi- nancial inducements. It is now six years since Demp- sey, in his last title success, beat off the Wild Bull of the Pampas, Luis Firpo, at the Polo Grounds. Firpo, like Dempsey, cannot forget the ring and talks now and then of a comeback. Firpo proved a business man as well as a fighter when here. He has become rich in his homeland. His friends say he is a millionaire, whether the figures are in dollars or pesos. money outside of the ring than any other boxer. “Firpo, he was a great slugger, but Dempsey, he was terrible.” So! says Alfredo Porzio, gentine Olympic boxer who wound up a short professional career after serving as a sparring mate for Temnsey, when the latter prepared i fight with Tunney in 'zio, now managing a irgentine boxers in the tes, regards Dempsey as : hitter of them all.

In Young ie Roberts there is no such disparity in physical propor- tions as was the case when he bat- tled Chester Willis and Sallor Ral- ston. Leyson, u]thou;,h but 24 ycflrs old the American | is an oldtimer in the padded hemp. | He has participated in more than| 100 fights. At one time he was in the same fighters’ stable as| Pancho Villa, one of the cleverest boxers the Little Brown Brothers have ever produced. Joe was touted as a coming welter champ.’ Walter Sibley has Leyson under contract and is preparing to send him to Southern California in the near future. He claims Joe shows more real class than any boy he has seen in the second raters in many years. He has been tra!n-[ ing his man for the bout with Ed-| die Roberts and predicts he will| win easily. He doesn't know Eddie but has heard he is clever and in wonderful shape. He is prepared | to offer Roberts a chance to go south with Leyson if he makes a good showing against the Filipino. Leyson is a clever boxer, shifty with his defense and has a pretty good general knowledge of the ring game. In his first two ap- pearances here, he was outweighed badly. As a result there wasn't any chance for him to show what he claims to have. And his claims are fairly well supported by the fans who have seen him in train- ing. 1 He can box well. His hitting is nothing to write home about as far as power is concerned. He may have a knockout punch, but 1f {80 he is keeping it under cover. It looks like his bout with Robm'h;i will be that of a boxer against a fighter. He probably will outbox Eddie, but if the latter is able to| connect, the boxer may be in for| a bad session. | e —— | Bill Casey 1s still at No. 8 Wil-| loughby Ave. with the best TO- BACCO and SNUFF CURE. ]!v)urs4 2ip. m. to 7T p.m. Call and we Ler EVERY BIRD sing its own note.
