Willard certainly looks in great shape. If he was a younger man by |five or more years, I certainly would |be willing to concede him a fine chance against Dempsey. There fsn't |a bit of superfluous welght on Willard. He looks to be in the best concition | of his career, Some years ago I saw Willard box | the late Luther McCarthy at Madison !|Bquare Garden. Willard was in the | novice class then. The Wiilard I saw Llhe other day doing his training stunts looks to be a better condition- | ed athlete than the Willard of six or| seven years ago. | Age Real Question Mark As I watched Willard in action with his sparring partner I simply couldn’t brush aside the fact that he is past| 40 years of age, MARSTON'S PLAYING HAS ALWAYS BEEN BRILLIANT Member of American Team Is Excep- | | tionally Good When It Comes | | to Long Games ! | By The Associated Press, | | New York, May 2.—Maxwell R.| | Marston, one of the members of the | éAmerican Walker cup golf team now |in Great Britain, holds a string of jminor titles won on eastern links, | Marston won the Pennsylvania |amateur title in 1921 and 1922 and| captured first honors in the New Jer- sey amateur (itle tournament in 1915 | and 1919, He reached the semi-final round of national amateur champlon- | |ships on several occasions his nearest | approach to the final being in 1915 when he missed a six inch putt on the final green, losing to Robert A, Gard- |ner of Chicago, who has been his ‘ntumbling block nearly every time he: sought national honors. | As a member of the 1922 Walker |cup team Marston lost his singles John Cavan in Fownes ol’ L WELL® The OLD BASEBALL SEASON HAS ROLLED AROUND AGAIN= |from Mackenzie and the doubles with W.

It strikes me that Willard must do the big thinge i the eariy rounds of any fight in which he takes part Let us pass up Willard and con. gider his opponent, Floyd Johnson, in the heavyweight elimination affair that is to be staged here May 12, Recently 1 saw Johnson go 12 rounds with FFred Fulton, the much- plastered plasterer. Johnson won on points but falled to impress me as I lioped he would, Tast October I saw Johnson dispose of Bob Martin, once a highly touted contender for Dempsey's title, spite the fact that Martin is only a shadow of his former self, fighting ability considered, Johnson's victory was impressive because he showed promise. Bince then Johnson has number of so-so heavyweights.

Has Johnson The Punch Does Johnson's wallop lack dyna- mite? His failure to drop Lohman and Fuiton for the count, after having them all but helpless in the opening | round, would make it scem 8o. Johsi- |son hit Fulton with cverything, but | Fuiton, never noted for his ability to fair. | Jomrnson is courageous. He showed me that. However, he lacks exper- fence and Willard may upsct some of nis plans for a Dempsey meeting. At present Johnson wouldn't have a chance with the champion. He needs at least a year more of prepa- 1ation. Of the four fighters to be seen in action shortly, Willard, Firpo, Me- Aullffe and Johnson, Firpo at present looks by far the most dangerous of Regardless of his|first round, seemed to have him all|the quartet. 'Ruth Gets $4,333.33 Per Month, His Papers Show New York, May 2.—That ‘‘Babe" uth, the “home-run Kking" of base- ball, actually gets $4,333.33 a month for knocking out homers was re- vealed vesteraay when Justice Louis Wendel in the city court ordered him | to pay David Davidson $590.51 for | automobile damages resulting from & | collision with the ballplayer's car.

TOMMERS, YALE NINE'S COACH, MAY QUIT POST Wood Slated to Succeed Him It He Goes to Prep. School, Is Report. . —It was night that New Haven, May un- officially reported last Bernie Tommers, for the last two years coach of the Yale baseball team, would resign at the end of the present season and would be succeed- ed by Joe Wood, Cleveland outfielder and present coach of the Yale fresh- man team. Tommers has received a flattering offer to begome director of athletics in a large preparatory rchool and it is said that he will accept it. It is quite generally reported In New Haven that efforts to force the resignation of Tommers and Johnny Mack, coach of the track team, have been made in certain quarters, but the board of control of the Athletic Association flatly denies this. Mack has no intention of resigning, it is sald, unless his continued ill health should force the step. He is one of the most popular coaches Yale ever had. Tommers has not had a great deal of luck with his baseball team this season and plans a radical shake up of his infield and outfleld for the game with Amherst today.
