BOXING TAX CASE APPEALED BY U. S. The federal government has asked the Supreme Court to decide whether directors and managers of boxing contests in New York city can escape without paying taxes upon admis-| sions to such contests. In appealing a case brought against James J. Johnston, as matchmaker and manager of the Central Man- hattan Boxing Club. the government asserted that should the decision of the circuit court of appeals at New | York city be permitted to stand, it would “open the door to fraudulent transactions.” ‘The government's embarrassment arose over the construction placed | by that court upon the laws of New | York. Johnston had a contract with | the club to conduct boxing exhibi- tions, under which he received the entire proceeds and paid the club, the government alleged, & stipulated sum of money for the privilege, after each’contest. Johnston, upon failure to pay the government tax imposed upon admissions to such contests, was indicted and convicted In the federal | York city. ! the circult district court at He took the case court of appeals, which held that under the law of New York the | Central Manhattan Boxing Club and | not Johnston had been licensed by | the state to conduct the contests, and tha therefore the government must look to the club for the tax. The government, in its appeal to the Supreme Court, contended that it was the plain purpose of Congress to require persons who sold admis- sion tickets to entertainments to collect from the purchaser the tax imposed by the federal and state governments, and to account for them to those authorities.

INSIDE GOLF By Georgze O'Neil, Since the long, straight drive results from rhythm in the stroke more than from any other single factor, it isx well for the playe: to employ the “forward pres which is a helpful little knack of ushering in the stroke. The for- Tex Rickard is making preparations hitting South American, meet in the Rickard Rickard made this announcement when he returned to Madison Square Garden, after making the rounds of the various ticket agencies. “Never have I seen such a record advance sale and never have I seen fight tickets in such demand,” Rick- ard said. Demand Is Exceptional. “As great as was the request for the Dempsey-Carpentier bout, it never equaled the demand that has arisen for the Willard-Firpo battle. An e: tirely new element seems to have come into the boxing game in the last r and it is due to nothing else, as I see it, than the great work of Firpo, who has won the support e I of virtually all the people of Spanish : or Itallan blood in this section. They adid) [ are all behind him and they are pur- | chasing tickets, not | twos, but in groups. Soclety folk, | also, are ordering tickets, and I can safely say that the crowd which at- tends the Willard-Firpo fight will be as representative of the civic and so- cial life of New York as was the Dempsey-Carpentier battle. “Firpo seems to have drawn the following that was behind Carpen- tier, besides -thousands of new fol lowers in the game. The Italians are wonderful boxing fans. 1 have had a chance to see this demonstrated whenever a leading Italian boxer ap- peared for me. But Firpo has won over not only the Italian. but the Spanish following. I can’t say how many of them will see the Willard- Firpo bout, but they will be well rep- resented. ' There were more than 75,000 paid admissions for the Car- pentier bout and I expect the coming battle will exceed this number.” Final Day of Hard Work. Willard and Firpo yvesterday put in by ones and ward press in in itself @ rhyth- mic motion that invites further rhythm. It consists of pressing the hands forward a trifie, while the clubhead rests on the ground back of the ball, then starting the upward stroke from the forward point.

LEONARD SHY SPEED, BUT OUTBOXES HART PHILADELPHIA, July 10.—Benny Leonard, world lightwelght champion, | returned to New York todav after his fight with Alex Hart of Lorain, Ohio, last night, to take a brief rest before he starts training for his coming! bout with Lew Tendler, the Phila- delphia challenger. Leonard, according to the sports writers at the ringside, outboxed and outpointed Hart, but he was unable to land a knockout blow. The westerner took some severe puni ment, but at no time did he appear to_be in danger. Hart's jabs and punches appeared to lack steam and had little effect on the New Yorker Leonard forced the fighting at every opportunity, but Hart put up such a| stalwart defense that he was not | able to break through his guard | with a telling punch. = Many of the | champion’s blows found their mark | as his opponent was backing away covering up. Leonard was four pounds over his usual fighting weight, which, in the opinion of observers, is what slowed him up. The largest crowd that ever wit- nessed a boxing exhibition in this| city saw the fight. The crowd was estimated at more than 30,000. Joe Liynch, bantamweight champlon, and Bobby Wolgast of Philadelphia fought an eight-round draw in the semi-windup. H ! Ritchie Mitchell of Milwaukee won the popular decision in an_elght- round ‘bout with George Russell. Russell substituted for Joe Tiplitz, Philadelphia. who was reported to | have been taken suddenly ill i SPAIN NEARS FINAL IN DAVIS CUP PLAY already is down to welght and Firpo has stated that he has been ready for the past week. At his training quar- ters at the Columbus Sporting Club, in Yonkers, yesterday lard did a littie boxing, some bag punching, took & short run and called it & day. Today and tomorrow he will merely limber up. He sald that he felt he was physically fit for the match and would engage in no more slugging matches, as he did not care at this late date to take any chances of in- juring his hands. Down at Long Branch, N. J., Train- er Jimmy De Forest was directing | the work of Firpo. It was an effort for him to keep the big fellow from overworking, but he finally impressed upon him that it was necessary to let down at this stage in order to save all his strength for the big test Willard. Firpo boxed five rounds, worked in the gymnasium for a half hour. took a short run, had & rubdown and called it a day. Jack Skelly, who is directing Wil- lard’s training. said yesterday that the former champlon never was in better condition in his life and that he had no reason to fear Firpo. De Forest, who helped to condition Dempsey for the Willard battle, said that in Firpo he had another great fighter who would hand Willard the same treatment at Boyle's Thirty Acres that Dempsey handed the big Kansan in Toledo. A survey of the records of both Willard and Firpo shows the terrific punching power displayed by both men. Firpo has not been in the pro- fessional game very long, but in that} time, according to the' figures re-| leased at Promoter Rickard's office, | Firpo has engaged in twenty-two batties and has registered eighteen kno¢kouts. Willard has had thirty- four fights and is credited with nine- teen Rnockouts. Comparison of the Boxers. In all of his battles to date Firpo has had the advantage of weight and strength. He never has faced a man physically his equal, but in Willard he will oppose a fighter rated one of the most powerful that ever entered a ring. Willard is big and strong and has demonstrated under fire that he can take punishment. He was floored by Dempsey seven times In one round, but never quit. He continued to ba tle for two rounds more, and only when he was unable to come out for the fourth round was the battle over. Firpo has not been seen under a real test. Only once, and that against Brennan, did he have to extend him- self. He proved then that he could take punishment and seemed to fight better when being punished. How- ever, it remains to be seen whether he can stand up and fight back after tasting Willard's best punches. Firpo continues to be favored at odds of 8 to 5. Those Who have seen him in_his work at Long Branch as- sert that he is a much improved fighter over the one who was able to knock out Bill Brennan. In that fight all he had was a right hand. but Trainer De Forest has been working on his left ever since the Brennan battle, and only vesterday De Forest tated that when Firpo goes into this battle he will have two hands instead of one. l BASTBOURNE, England, July 10.— Spain paved the way to its participa- tion in the final in the Buropean zone of the Davis cup tournament by win- ning the first two singles matches of the semi-final contest with Holland. The ease with which the Spanish players won presages an early termin tion of the contest, since if they win in the doubles match ‘today play would end and It would be unnecessary to hold the | remaining singles.
