EW YORK, August 22.—“Derle will tear him to ribbons.” This, on the eve of battle, was the firm and steadfast conviction of Mr. Dumb Daniel Morgan, trainer of Jack Doyle. It was echoed in 28 musical keys by the 28 McGoverns, who manage Mr. Doyle. It was re- peated in a moving tenor-profundo by James J. Johnston, the gent who is promoting this quarrel between Mr, Doyle and young Jacob “Buddy” Baer. “Two rounds,” added Mr. Johnston, to make it official. He was speaking of the time it will require Mr. Doyle to slap young Jacob down tonight. The fight, which has been nick- named “up from the tank” by its ad- mirers, seems to be attracting more attention hereabeuts than you'd have any reason to expect. It won't draw much money, but it will be followed vVicariously by millions of sportsmen who believe that Buddy is a coming champion, or that Doyle is a killer ing disguise. Or that both boys are springboard bums who should be making their living in light opera. - Doyle Is Very Irish. DOYLE‘S chief asset in the eyes of the fans is his Irishness. Myself, I think his Irishness borders on the professional. He does everything but smell of peat. He rips the soul out of | “Mother Machree” and “When Irish Eyes ‘Are Smiling” at every oppor- tunity. I have a feeling that the Irishmen in the motion’ picture, “The Informer.” are closer to the genuine article than the folks in “Abie’s Irish Rose,” but if Mr. Doyle prefers the latter version he is free to use it. The trouble is that his version has not been going over very well. The critics panned it at first sight. This made Mr. Doyle huffy. I am told by Mr. Dumb Daniel Morgan, his trainer, that he is still in a huff. “He's got a temperament like a prima donna,” reported Mr. Morgan. “When he sees what about him in the newspapers he throws the papers in the air. “‘Dan,’ he says to me, ‘what do these fellows know about me? They never have seen me fight. me a meadow lark and a tanker. but they don’t know nothin’ about it.’ “I admit to him his publicity has not been very good. “‘Good?” he says. ‘It's been ter- rible. Well, I will show them,’ he says. ‘I will thrash this Buddy Baer within an inch of his life. I will prove to them,’ he says, ‘that I am 2 great Irish fighter or be carried away on my shield,’ he says.” Of course, Mr. Morgan does not believe that his beautiful young pro- tege is going to be carried away on his shield. He thinks Mr. Doyle will make short work of the cadet Baer. “Who?” Ask His Handlers, "WHO did Buddy ever lick?” de- manded Mr. Morgan. “Yeah, who?” inquired Mr. Tom McGovern, principal spokesman and dotted-line signer for the twenty- eight McGoverns. The 28 McGoverns (I include wives and nephews in this count) are all very proud of their bonny piece of property. He reminds them of the old country. In the candid opinion of the 28 McGoverns, there’s a little bit of heaven in his smilin’ eyes of blue. There is also a considerable amount of cash in his comely torso, 1f things break right. The 28 McGoverns inherited “the Derle of Cork” from that well-known international drummer, talent scout and percentage owner, Mr. Walter Good Time Charlie Priedman. Mr. Friedman impoerted the Derle. The boys on Broadway say, a bit unkindly. that he imported him at the Derle's expense. Whatever the truth may be, Mr Friedman unloaded his stock at| the first opportunity and employed his! profits in the purchase of a new and | larger crop of cut-rate caulifiower. Does Own Thinking. | DOYLE is happier in the hands of | the 28 McGoverns than he was| with Mr. Friedman, but he still does all his thinking for himself. Aware of the Baer. reputation for nifty| dressing, hie decided to out-dude young | Buddy when they met to weigh in at the Boxing Commission’s office. He thought it might give him a psycho- | logical advantage. His first look at| Buddy convinced him, however, that the latter was not in the market for | psychological treatment. | Buddy wore a hunting knife, a ‘week’s beard and a pair of calf-length leather boots. He scowled several| times and departed without a refer- | ence to the dapperness of Mr. Doyle. | ‘Thwarted in his paddock strategy, Mr. Doyle announcec that he would win | the fight with his' right fist alone. _There'll be hell to pay with the 28 "McGoverns if he doesn't.

Carey, knowing this, took ter- rific leads and almost always reached second in complete safety . . . it sounds simple, but for a long time it was an exclusive secret with Carey.

HERE was joy In Foggy Bottom today, for Marty Gallagher has jumped out of his riding breeches and into boxing trunks. The gang around the gas house never has regarded favorably his interest in ridin’ hosses, but now that Marty is going back to his reg- ular calling and battle with King Levinsky, Chicago heavyweight, here September 16 all is forgiven. Arrangements for the 10-round match were completed yesterday by Goldie Ahearn after the Illinois Box- ing Commission decided that the Chi- cago Kingfish must keep his promise to the Turner-Ahearn combine for a Gallagher fight here despite the vigorous protests of Leaping Lena Levy, Levinsky's one-time managing sister. After Harold Steinman, the King's legal representative, had come to terms with Ahearn last June, Lena | raised an awful holler and endeavored to sidetrack the match. The Illinois | Commission ruled, however, that Stein- man and not the sister was the King's accredited manager and that the fight must go on. | The bout with the Chicago fish peddler, who recently was knocked dizzy in less than a round by Joe Louis, colored marvel, will be the first for Gallagher since the meeting with Ray Impellittiere here last Winter, Marty got the decision over Ray, tak- ing 7 of the 10 rounds. Gallagher predicts a better ending to the Kingfish fight. “I'll knock him out,” says the riding stable master. And Foggy Bottom believes that, too. | - e DONOVAN READY Threatens to Throw Fists if Savoldi Gets Rough in Bout Tonight.

Donovan attributes his two defeats at the ball yard to Savoldi’s question- able tactics. “T've taken enough oflkr Savoldi in the past,” the Pacific Coast redhead says. “I've tried to wrestle cleanly in my matches with him. But| if he goes out of his way to rough me | | tonight, he’ll ind me ready for any- thing he wants to start.” ) That goes for fist-flinging, too, ac- cording to Donovan, and at that Savoldi might find himself inferior to his ogponent. Before he took up wrestling Donovan was a boxer of no mean ability. He ran out a lengthy string of knockouts in the ring. Old favorites with Washington fans are back for the semi-final.
