Knocking Out Champion, Al- m of Abiding by Referee’s Deci- s “‘Hand-Picked,” Prevented His By Vincent Treanor. HAT does New York know about this Bryan Downey fighter of Geeveland? He recently floored Johnny Wilson, the middleweight champion, in a bout in his bame town, @né@ according to reports had the title- helder on the verge of a knockout when Wilson's “own referee” saved the ehampion's honors with a decision of @ foul against Downey. Cleveland's Boxing Commission, with a pardonable shew of civic pride, then proclaimed Downey middleweight champion, over- looking the time honored custom of abiding by the word of the referee. The ending of the fight, more or Yeas dramatic, raised Downey from the comparative obscurity of “the sticks” 9 @ Rational figure in the pucilistic world, He is now in New York, In the big time circuit, training for an- other battle with Wilson. They are to Meet in a contest limited to twelve rognds and “no decision” over in Jer- wey City on Labor Day. But for the Cleve! affair Downey's appearance in New “York would attract little «:- tention. He might have came to the big dty unheralded, bored at the Pioneer A. C. or some other such club, But the Cleveland poy is here with @ big “rep.” home-made, of course, but nevertheless a “rep” mo necessary to @ boxer these days in the pursuit of big money.

Hig style is not pretty nor interest- ‘mg, but he is tough. He is of the which if pitted against K. O. hlin, whom New Yorkers have seen, would start a “Merry Widow" whistling concert by the galleryites in Madison Square Garden, “Morgan is no knocker, because manajers who ply their fistic trade through the country carrot afford to knock any one; but Daniel is bru- tail truthful, especially if he thinks his opinion is wo be recorded. Downey is hard to lick, Morgan admits, chiefly because he can stand up under a wallop in a discouraging way to the walloper. He ia always there ‘ith a comeback punch, too, which, while it may be lacking in jthe point of scientific delivery, 1s bothersome. A dangerous mauler, is we Morgan sizes up Downey, in ANGHROUS mautem have never been champions, and if Mor- gan's ostimate of Downey is correct, or nearly #0, those who are figuring on the possibility of seeing @ tive change hands on Labor Day should prepare themselves for a dis- appointinent. Wilson is no Ketchel, no Papke, no Fitzsiinmons; but bh knows more about boxing than to be classified as a mauler, He has sume knowledge of boxing. He can deliver a pitnch with direction and power, especially with hia jeft hand, and he has a fairly good blocking system. He has some ideas of defense, but we wouldn't go broke on his courage ina pinch. He looked good enough against Mike O'Dowd in their last appearance at the Garden, but he had Mike very much subdued at various stages of the bout with low blows. Then Mike couldn't hurt him with his flail-like punches, which were pushed in rather than landed with the proper snap. Downey, we are given to understand, carries more power In his blows than O'Dowd, but he lacks the speed at which ex- champion Mike travelled when he was at his best, N the comin¢ bout Downey will find & different Wilson in front of him than he did at Cleveland. Inatead of @ 112-pound middleweight un- trained and bent on picking up some “easy money,” he will confront a trained Wilson, @ fighter in condition and at weight, Champions in the past have made the mistake of becoming careless in the matter of training and of being in the proper condition, Jeffries did against Monroe years ago at Butte, and there i# no denying that Wilson was out of shape when he went to Cleveland, “protected” by his own referee, to box Downe: Not a willing worker at any time, Wilson made a big mistake. Probably he overmted the Cleveland slugger, but If the experience then didn’t teach | him @ good lesson, he is lacking in all intelligence. This time he will be in| shape, He has a championship to de- fend and against an opponent who may have @ well defined notion of his ability to whip him. ‘The so-called Indian sign may be claimed by the Clevelander, and there is something in that Indian sign stuff. However, Wilson in condition and Wilson out of condition are different propositions. A race horse has to be fit to do his best, and.so must a fighter. Wilson knows this and he has trained this time. Hoe will be at his real fighting weight, and of that be sure. from Promoter Rickard for \ the coming bout—something like $30,000, but not nearly so much as he might have commanded it he, had never met Downey at Cleveland Before that meeting the middleweight champion was scorning $50,000 to put up his dukes in the defense of his title. He even hemmed and hawed about ac cepting™ $60,000 to tackle Mike Gib- bons, The fiasco at Cleveland has jeut him down about one-half as a box-office attraction, He will have to beat Downey very decisively to win restoration to his former position in Pugilistic histor: TLSON 1s getting good money ABOUT FISH AND FISHERMEN | By William E.

Early tn 1920 the tal Philadelphian started training for a strenuous season, He went to Fng- land in the spring and won the so- called world's title at Wimbledou, the first foreigner who ever performed the feat. Returning home, the nationa: champion prepared to defend his title, tuning up in numerous tournaments before the all-comers' championship at Forest Hills, where Tilden won fron: Johnston after a hectic battle in the finals, Soon after came training for the Davis Cup challenge round and the winter yoyage to Australia, where Ti!- den and Johnson succeeded in bring- ing home the silver trophy. Without hardly time to pay to business or rest, “Big Bil" started arrangements to invade Engiand again, The trip was successful, The Philadelphlan not only retained the English title but added the world's clay court championship in France to his long collection. ‘Tired and drawn very fine by nearly months of strenuous cam- paigning all over the globe, Tilden ar- rived home early summer, only to » warned by his doctor that he waa a fit subject for a long rest.

For a week past he has had i mind set on winning a race here, and he made no secret of his intentions, As early as Monday of this weck he let it be known that he would have a starter on Friday and that it would win. He advised everybody who wax in a hole to bet on it He didn't qualify anything he said. Yesterday was the day and Valley of the Moon was the starter. Those who had been waiting anxiously for the entries be- gan to mentally backwater a¢ the thought of playing the filly to win, especially when there was as good a sprinter as Last Straw in the same field. Valley of the Moon has been running In those quarter races here, | showing an abundance of early speed but always quitting badly at the end. i quit again,” said many who jhad the advance information. Mc- Daniel answered all inquiries that she | wouldn't. “She'll go all the way to- | i day,” he promised. | | Despite the extraordinary confi- |dence of the trainer, the majority of ‘his friends steered away from her and went to Last Straw, who went to the) post a heavily backed favorite, Some, however, stuck to McDaniel and when the field broke with Vailey of the Moon in the van she got plenty of vocal encouragement. LaVerne Fator, who rodé her, was implored “to keep her there." Away down the ack stretch went the Rossiter filly, three lengths in |front, Round the turn she came stii! maintaining her early edvantage, with Last Straw and Superwoman closest in pursuit. When she reached the stretch she was still far in the lead, but Last Straw was moving up t ward her menacingly, As Valley |the Moon rounded the home turn, Fator shooting her the shortest way, Last Straw for a fraction of a second seemed ready to run over the top of | her. Suddenly Sande went to the| whip on the favorite, while Fator was | urging his mount on under a smooth, hard rde, Last Straw didn’t gain an Inch with whip persuasion, and Val- ley of the Moon came right on, with- out a thought of quitting, to a com- paratively easy victory. MeDantel was showered with congratulations by hia friends who played the filly and all hands were happy. Valley of the Moon at one time was as good a price as 8 to 1, and there was plenty of 6 to 1 at post time. ‘This was one tip where the price was not affected by the oonfidence of the trainer.

Mr. Madden thought she would win and told everybody 80. The filly, however, was away a bit slowly, but even st that showed very little speed.
