A sound mind in a sound body is an unbeatable combination. The first can be gained only by right thinking, the second by clean living.

I was just a kid. tutored by Joe Smith, my manager, who even then was convinced I was going to get somewhere in the ring. ‘Tunney, on the other hand, was something of a veteran when I began my career, despite the record books. | He had boxed professionally before the war and won the interallied champion- ship after the armistice against the pick of the world's soldier fighters. So you see that when we met he was a seasoned performer, while I had only a_couple of years of boxing small timers. The only really outstanding men I had fought before meeting Tunney were Harry Greb, Mike McTigue and Bryan Downey. We have both gone ahead since then, he to the heavyweight and I to the light heavyweight title. I feel that if he couldn't beat me with the advantage he had in 1922, he can't do it now.

VICTORY OVER ZWICK By the Associated Press MILWAUKEE, January 25.— Bud is very rugged and has great vitality. | Taylor, bantamweight champion, added | Sharkey, Victim By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, January 25.—A sort of premonition that the fistic star of Jack | Sharkey is about to set, has gripped | Willlam L. Muldoon, grand old dean of American boxing, and the man who first called Sharkey “great.” Loss of in- centive is the great factor that threat- ens to bring it about. Two years ago, a splendidly muscled youngster with the gleam of a con- queror in his eyes climbed out of com- parative obscurity and into Madison Square Garden ring to fight Sallor Ed- | die Huffman, a run o’ the mine light- heavyweight. When the dreary battle was over that same youngster climbed down out of the ring and back into obscurity as far as most of the ring- side observers were concerned. He was Jack Sharkey of Boston, once of the United States Navy. At the same ringside sat Willlam Muldoon, 80 years old then, snowy- haired and calm with the wisdom of 2, half dozen decades spent watching fighters come and go. He was there as a member of the New York State Ath- letic Commission, of which he once was | chairman. | “Some day that boy will be a great heavyweight.” Muldoon said then. “He | has ‘everything that goes to make & champion. He's keen and sharp, the cleverest big man in the game today.” | That was two years ago. Since that | | iime Sharkey ripped through the heavy- | | weight ranks past Harry Wills, George | | Godfrey, Mike McTigue and Jimmy | J.‘.,nlcnc_v and faltered only last Summer | before the crushing fists of Jack Demp- sey with the championship goal in |sight.

It made his point clear. In 1918.” Mr. Muldoon said, “young Dempsey was llving and _training in Long Branch, N. J., with Jack Kearns, his manager.

CHICAGO, Janua 25.—Mickey Walker, world mmu’fim.m boxing champion. is ready to defend his title as ordered by the National Boxing As- sociation, but would prefer stepping out of his division to swap blows with a few of the leading light heavyweights.

This may seem a paradox, but you can try it out for yourself at any time. A single game of duckpins often will take away that “tired feeling.” The explanation is that the bowling with its gentle bendings and body twisting mo- tions wakes up the muscles, starts the blood flowing vigorously and ‘“peps” one up. Naturally, bowling may be carried to an extreme. For that matter, eating dangerous occupation, yet its abuse kills more people than any other cause. Fol- lowed moderately though, the duckpin game is a great tonic. Speaking of counts on marks—which bowlers generally are—Dan Ready, shooting at anchor for the Interbureau quint of the Aggle League certainly had an irritating experighce not so long ago. pins on it. Then on the next 4 marks he counted 2, 2, 4 and 2, or a total of 10 pins. Picking up 9 sticks on one mark then registering but 10 on the next four certainly is furnishing a strik- ing example of the ins and outs of the duckpin game. Whatever else may be sald about the sport, it scarcely can be claimed with justice that one gets bored with the monotony. The tragedy of the small counts on marks is that they usually are the re- sult of knifing out 2 pins alongside the headpin, or the headpin and its batker, which means that the bowler is only an inch or so away from a pocket hit, made by Bobby Jones, who in addition is British open and national amateur | 1t looked as th would not ordinarily be considered a | He opened with a spare and counted 9 | gh the King Pin| | Colonial bowlers upset the dope |in the Washington Ladles League night when thev bagged two of t| games rolled against the Coiumbi The latter did not get info the junning until the last game when Capt.
