If Gibbons had rocked the Frenchman to sleep he would have had a bout with Demp. sey in no time. The Carpentier thing spotted that Firpo and Wills and the winner vs. Dempsey. That's a big fistle pro gram for the summer months Comparing Dode and Bud Bercot Comparisons are like unto fried onions, if we ten to the literati. But mpar fan fodder and such topics as: “Dempsey is bet er than Jeffries, and Battling Bunk hits harder than Kidd Biff, ete. tte.” are what younr ring bugs want to read about And so here goes: Tuesday night Bud Bercot, younge are logger, makes his professio at the Seattle bali yard. T who saw Bud tn action in the ama teur smokers last winter got a great kick out of the aggressive style of this two-fisted bantamweight ‘The regulars will find him to be a double for his brother in looks, style and build. He is conriderably smaller and lighter, but ts built much | the same and is a southpaw. He is/ aggressive and packs a kick for a youngster—he’s only 16 years old— and he seems more polished than Dede. He isn't the awkward fellow Dede was when the Bearcat started.

For the third time he'll help put the U. 8. A. to the fore in track matters. Hayward's meth. ods are given credit for much of America’s success at Stockholm and Antwerp, Hayward, a stalwart Indian, who, in his day, ranked with the coun-| try’s best runners, has developed some of the West's fastest cinder men. Dan Kelly, who back in 1906 ran 100 yards in 9 3-5, was one of his pupils. McClure, a star quarter. miler at Stockholm, was another.
