It is unfortunately the fact that there is n great deal of interest in ama- teur fighting among Army men, for the reason that there are not a sufficient number of amateur bouts held to sustain interest. Another discouraging factor has been the tendency to take the near- est local Army title holder and let him box under the title of Army champion, as In the bouts with the Britons, This 18 a mistake and is so led by such Army men as Lieut.

BOUT Racial Clasl, Disapproved Théouéhofit Country. Toe Hold and Body Scissors'May B¢ Barred in Wrestling Along With Headlock. ’ BY FAIRPLAY. EW YORK, January 28—It may definitely be.stated that so far as New York state is concerned, there is not the slightest chance that a meeting between Jack Du_npsey. or any other white cham- pion who may succeed him and Harry Wills will ever be sanctioned The writer had this straight from headquarters today. Throughout the country the indoor sport of putting Dempsey and Wills together by word of mouth has prevailed, and many are the heated arguments which have thereby risen. The big negro has a lot of fans who believe in his great- . ness as a pugilist and would be willing to bet on him against Dempsey. But if the two meet it will not be in New York, and the chances are that the meeting will not be held. For as New York would view with extreme disfavor the establishment of another negro heavyweight cham- ion, so would the country in general. This implies nothing against Wills personally, nor against his race. It is merely deemed better that there be no championship. issue between the two. Wills and Tate. Headlock No Worse Than | A fighting man who saw Wills Two Others, Says Caddock | knockout Big Bill Tate in Buffalo last week, dropped into the office last evening. He gaid it was one of the most thrilling encounters he had ever seen. Tate, whose job has been to stall off Dempsey's wallops the past two years, has developed a defensive attitude in his fights, and thus in re- cent bouts has not shown as well as he should. For he has a wallop and, for a big man, is very fast. Anyway, in the first round of the Wills match he clipped the New Orieans fighter on the jaw and sent him against the ropes. Rushing in, he landed again / as Wills was recovering. Wills al- most went out of the ring and was plainly groggy. Tate let drive what was intended to be—and would have been—the finishing blow. Bat ia his eagerness his ailm was not good. The punch glanced off the side of Wills’ head. The bell rang and Wills recov- ered from the effects of his punching. In the second round he applied his well known hitting ability to Tate’s jaw and the Kearns fighter went to sleep. Willard’s Opinion. Jess Willard in a talk the other.day said that Jack Dempsey was perfectly right in drawing the color line. He drew it. he said. after he had beaten Jack Johnson, and if he whips Demp- sey he will draw it again.
