It Jooks as though the crowd night run even beyond expectations since Harry Greb and Mickey Walker are good drawing cards, Jimmy Slattery of Buffalo even a better one and Harry Wills not at all bad as an at- traction. Wills-Weinert Argument. The dopesters have been speculat- ing a lot about the outcome of the varfous bouts and now the writer is going to have his sayv, figuring the dope not upon what promoters or managers would like to have said, but on the basis of facts as they appear. First, then, Wills and Weinert. Both of these men have been guflt of some bad fights and both have been knocked out. Weinert has heard the birds chirping no less than five times, while Harry bowed to Sam Langford back in 1916. Sam in those days was still a grand fighter and it took him 19 rounds to turn the trick. Fans are apt to build up the com ing bout on the strength of the sl ing of the two men against Wills for some unexplained reason, had the Wild Bull prostrate in the second round with a blow to the jaw. When Firpo rose the big black started in to pummel his body instead of try- ing for a knockout. Wills mauled and tugged Firpo all over the ring, did just about what he pleased with the big Argentinian, and those who know his real ability have never been able to account for his indifference about winning by a knockout. Now as to the Weinert-Firpo fight, which the adonis won on points, Firpo was far from the shape he was in when he met Wills. Remembering his quiok kayo of Charley in Philly, he expected to have an easy time. But when he faced the Jerseyman he found him trained to the minute, well prepared to leg it all over the ring and stab Luis' head off with lightning jabs. Firpo blundered along, trying to put over one fare- well sock, but Charley was ever on the alert and sprinted or ducked out o'e\‘er\' dangerous situation. Round Was Shortened. But the effect of the hot pace told on Weinert in the closing rounds. and had it not been for a shortening of one of the rounds, Weinert might have missed this lucrative fight with Wills. Platt Adams, the former Olympic athlete, was New Jersey's boxing commissioner who timed the round for his own satisfaction, and he called the attention of the time- keeper to the fact that his watch was slow, or something. So that is that. As to Weinert's present condition, he looks good, but it must be con- sidered that he is a rebuilt athlete, who has tasted the sweets of easy living. One may look fit and per- fect from the outside, but there is no denving that internally a former high liver might not look so fit. Wills, on the other hand, is a mar- vel of physical perfection and has been noted for his strict adherence to the rules of clean living. Every vear Harry takes a two-week pe- riod and abstains from food of all kind. His only sustenance during the 14 days is plenty of cool, clear water. He claims this is the most effective way of ridding the body of gases and surplus fat. In ¥ every vear he takes on a lease of life. bout new Judging the on merit alone— the writer, of course, cannot figure on other things that might enter—Wills should win by a knockout in four rounds or forever renounce his claims z;; fight for the world heavyweight title. There is a chance that Harry may be bothered by the referee, because of his supposed method of fighting with one hand holding his man and drawing him in while he hits with the other. But even so, the writer expects to see him catch the fleeter Weinert and bring him to the canvas before the fitth round. If he does not then he can kiss good-bye to any chance he may now possess of meeting Jack Dempsey. (Copyright, 1925.) Greb 8 to 5 Choice.
