| AMES THE EVEN ING WORLD, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1922.7 } | ws Giant California Amateur Looms Up as Likely Opponent for Dempsey. F White Hopes were stil! in fashion Ralph Smith, a Los Angeles Ath- letic Club amateur boxer, would easily qualify. ©) Smith is 6 feet 7 inches tall and “weighs 217 “pounds, stripped. He is fust twenty-one years old. He was “discovered? four months ago by George Blake, boxing instructor at Camp Fremont during the war. Smith s,m the nearest thing to Willard ever geen ina ring. Fully developed, he'll Weigh 240. Blake took Smith into the club @ymnasium and began teaching him the art of boxing. At first Smith was Ponderous and slow, but he improved rapidly. One day Blake brought in a hard-hitting professional and told him to cut loose with Smith and see if the bjz fellow could take it. The pro Janded a terrific swinging punch on Smith's jaw. “Did that hurt you?" asked Blake. “Why, no,” said Smith, “I felt it, but I can’t say it hurt me. “All right,’ said Blake, I just wanted to see sgame.”” Since then, Smith has fought four times at the club, winning all fights with knockouts, two in three rounds each, and two in the second round, His latest victim was a@ sailor from the battleship fleet in the harbor, nearly as tall as himself and of about the same weight, a husky who tore at Smith and looked as. dangerous as a bear until Smith uncorked a short right hand punch in the second round. The blow struck the side of the sailor's head, lifted him clear off the floor, and dropped him so cold that he fell flat on his face and didn't Tove until bis seconds rolled him over on his back after the count. Even then he was out for about five minutes. Ralph Smith will be sent to the national championships, where he should have no trouble winning the amateur title. After that he may go out for professional honors. Smith is a bigger and better built man than Fred Fulton, and he seems to have what Fulton lacks, fighter's heart. It wouldn't be at all surprising to see him a dangerous contender for the heavyweight title. within two vears. He is a hard worker. Blake ays the giant shows up for the usual daily, coaching and training on the you'll do. if you were next morning after each bout, and “tains every day. Jenkisson, his clubmate, who won the national welterweight title at Boston last year, may not go East to the championships, as he has broken his thumb twicé in recent amateur yy Bouts. | , | the Olympic Committee.

C. of Chicago, are tied with 20 points apiece for fourth place. Fifth place is also a tie between Richard Donovan of the Lake Park * Club of St, Paul and Gus Fetz of the ‘ Opal A. C. of Chicago. The international champion, Joe Moore, who skates in the colors of the 181st Street Ice Palace of New York, has fallen in the four races skated so far. Moore knows that the cham- pionship must pass from his hands as he cannot win, even though he lands first place in both of the remaining events, the qwarter-mile and three- mile races, Bill Murphy of the 181st Street Ice Palace of New York pulled a Ty Cobb to-day when a bleacherite accused him of fouling in one of the races Murphy promptly climbed over the |ropes and let fly at the offending spectator. The trouble which started Tuesday over the decision in the 220- yard dash, which was won by Jew- traw, has been settled amicably be- tween the skaters and the Interna- tional Union officials, but feeling still runs high when the sore spot is men- tioned and has been the occasion for more than one battle royal between the skaters and some of the hangers- on at the track when they have come together In the town.
